Hi.

Use printf instead of print:
Code:
$ cat file1
100000009
100000009
100000009

$ awk '{ SUM += $1 } END { print SUM * 1 }' file1
2.2e+09

$ awk '{ SUM += $1 } END { printf "%d\n", SUM }' file1

apacheconf

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl
       /var/cache/alchemist/apache/*

EXAMPLES

       To run this program simply type:

       apacheconf

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
