Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting awk - Pre-populating an array from system command output Post 302434224 by treesloth on Friday 2nd of July 2010 12:00:14 AM

Oh, that's excellent. That is to say, it actually works! Many thanks. Now, I'm off to learn a bit more about getline. I see now that the 'system' bit is simply the exit status of the command, not the output of the command itself; not very useful in this context.

Again, thanks for the help.

NAME
amt - run abstract machine test SYNOPSIS
amt [-s] DESCRIPTION
The amt command is for use in a Common Criteria security certified system. The command is used to verify that the low level functions nec- essary to enforce the object reuse requirements of the Controlled Access Protection Profile are working correctly. /usr/bin/amt is a shell script that executes tests specific to your system. For a 32-bit system, the tests run as a 32-bit application. For a 64-bit system, the tests run twice; once as a 32-bit application and once as a 64-bit application. amt lists test results with a pass or fail for each test it performs, unless output is suppressed with the -s option. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -s Suppresses output. EXIT STATUS
The following error values are returned: 0 All tests passed. >0 Count of the number of tests that failed. <0 Incorrect command line argument. ATTRIBUTES
