While <condition true>;do;done : In this case while there is an IP to read from input; do;etc...
the done is executed after the last line given in input (< sign)
This is the standard way to NOT use cat (useless use of cat...) which would have been like:
I put the bit of code here so you see the "done" and so you can compare with its counterpart you know

Hello,
After seeing in a Unix cheatsheet that I could add commands into a file and run that file as a command to save on typing, i tried it with this:

Hey,
I have finally made a command that works and now has to run it on 200+ files to run it on.
How do I do that?
Just fyi and if it complicates anything my commandline is:
awk '{if ($1 ~ /1/) print $2}' file
(yup, is should print $2 if $1 is a certain value)
It doesn't work when I: ... (2 Replies)

Hello all,
I'm trying to write a script to gather and send data and it works just fine at the bash command line, but when executing from CRON, it does not run properly.

CAT(1) General Commands Manual CAT(1)NAME
cat, read, nobs - catenate files
SYNOPSIS
cat [ file ... ]
read [ -m ] [ -n nline ] [ file ... ]
nobs [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on the standard output. Thus
cat file
prints a file and
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates the first two files and places the result on the third.
If no file is given, cat reads from the standard input. Output is buffered in blocks matching the input.
Read copies to standard output exactly one line from the named file, default standard input. It is useful in interactive rc(1) scripts.
The -m flag causes it to continue reading and writing multiple lines until end of file; -n causes it to read no more than nline lines.
Read always executes a single write for each line of input, which can be helpful when preparing input to programs that expect line-at-a-
time data. It never reads any more data from the input than it prints to the output.
Nobs copies the named files to standard output except that it removes all backspace characters and the characters that precede them. It is
useful to use as $PAGER with the Unix version of man(1) when run inside a win (see acme(1)) window.
SOURCE
/src/cmd/cat.c
/src/cmd/read.c
/bin/nobs
SEE ALSO cp(1)DIAGNOSTICS
Read exits with status eof on end of file or, in the -n case, if it doesn't read nlines lines.
BUGS
Beware of and which destroy input files before reading them.
