Seems easy enough.
Would it be possible instead of replacing it with a pre defined name, have it choose a random name from a txt file or just specified in the script that it puts onto the last line.

Lets say I wanted to create a script that would show what people are doing on my machine using the w command and refresh in about 6 seconds. What would be the easiest way to do this? I pretty much want the script to loop until I stop it.
I'm using the BASH shell by the way.
Help is appreciated.... (1 Reply)

A basic sed question.
I have a set of files. In each file there is a number that I want replaced. For example, if I run sed I should get the following:

rand_pseudo_bytes
RAND_bytes(3SSL) OpenSSL RAND_bytes(3SSL)
NAME
RAND_bytes, RAND_pseudo_bytes - generate random data
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rand.h>
int RAND_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num);
int RAND_pseudo_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num);
DESCRIPTION
RAND_bytes() puts num cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes into buf. An error occurs if the PRNG has not been seeded with enough
randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.
RAND_pseudo_bytes() puts num pseudo-random bytes into buf. Pseudo-random byte sequences generated by RAND_pseudo_bytes() will be unique if
they are of sufficient length, but are not necessarily unpredictable. They can be used for non-cryptographic purposes and for certain
purposes in cryptographic protocols, but usually not for key generation etc.
The contents of buf is mixed into the entropy pool before retrieving the new pseudo-random bytes unless disabled at compile time (see FAQ).
RETURN VALUES
RAND_bytes() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. The error code can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). RAND_pseudo_bytes() returns 1 if the
bytes generated are cryptographically strong, 0 otherwise. Both functions return -1 if they are not supported by the current RAND method.
SEE ALSO
rand(3), ERR_get_error(3), RAND_add(3)
HISTORY
RAND_bytes() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. It has a return value since OpenSSL 0.9.5. RAND_pseudo_bytes() was added
in OpenSSL 0.9.5.
