A standard feature of almost all of our cron jobs is to redirect output to a log file, then at the end of the script to embed the contents of that log file in the body of an email sent to the IT staff. Typical code to do this is
where $MAILER = /usr/bin/mailx
the mail is forwarded to an Exchange server where we then pick it up in our individual Outlook accounts. There are several dozen, possibly in excess of 100 of these every day. Last week we quit receiving the email from one single job. All others continue to come through. I checked for the log file output of the job (set to /tmp/$PROC.$$) and it is being created and shows the job ran as expected. But the mail appears to not be reaching our Exchange server. Or if it is, it is not making it to our individual accounts. On the source, the mail is sent to a distribution list defined in our aliases file.
So, how do I begin to follow this email through the system and find where it is getting dropped? (My primary job role is Oracle DBA, but I work closely with our unix SA and consider myself a power user or SA apprentice. I have full root access to the HP system. The exchange server is managed by a different dept and I have no direct access to it, will have to work with their admin when we get to that point.
I'm trying to sell the use of gzip instead of compress in our department. One issue I'm having (which is a showstopper) is that I lose the ownership when gzipping and gunzipping, though it's mentioned all over the web that files are supposed to keep ownership.

I'm using a while read statement to read in lines from a file, if a value (for example) is 1000.10 in a field, the last zero is removed leaving 1000.1 does anyone know a way to keep the field as it is in the original file? (1 Reply)
So here's the scoop. I am working on a project to automate the building of spark based solaris servers. I've got a cursory amount of knowledge of how to use the os after some pretty heavy experience with Linux, and doing a similar project there.
I have a few questions though...

Hi.
Recently when I'm logged in to site after some seconds, for instance, I lose the connection and need sign in again. It happens on Firefox and Chrome.

Our Unix system is losing a considerable amount of time each day, and our support service company says our motherboard is the cause. They "upgraded" us 5 years ago to basically the same thing as what we had previously, and are looking to "upgrade" us again now for about $5,000... I think... (23 Replies)

pqstat
PQSTAT(1) pqstat PQSTAT(1)NAME
pqstat - List jobs in NetWare print queue
SYNOPSIS
pqstat [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password
| -n ] [ -C ] [ -B ] queue name [ job count ]
DESCRIPTION
pqstat lists specified number of jobs from the specified NetWare print queue available to you on some server. If you are already connected
to some server, this one is used.
If pqstat does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the jobs in print queue by doing
pqstat -S server queue | wc -l
pqstat looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.
OPTIONS
queue name
queue name is used to specify queue. You can not use wildcards in the name.
job count
job count is used to specify how much entries will be shown. Default is to show all entries.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user name
If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs from your unix user-id, you should use -U to tell the server about your
NetWare user name.
-P password
You may want to give the password required by the server on the command line. You should be careful about using passwords in scripts.
-n
-n should be given to mount shares which do not require a password to log in.
If neither -n nor -P are given, pqstat prompts for a password.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-B
By default, pqstat lists the Netware name of the print job owner. -B causes it to list the banner name instead.
