I'm using cygwin bash to submit scheduled tasks (kinda like cron jobs) in windows and the following script is giving me grief. I need to format the current time with leading zeros before 10AM for the hour field. In this example, I manually typed in "09:50" instead of using the `printf...` statement. Note, however, I get an error in my debug statement when I try to print out the the time. Why is it choking on '09'?
I assume the problem is the "printf" statement because I get that error message twice: once for every occurance of the printf statement (when I prevously had `printf` instead of "09:50"). Could the problem be the %s that windows needs inside the quoted strings? Is not bash supposed to ignore the contents of quoted strings?
How to insert leading zeros into a left-justisfied zip code?
e.g. Zip code is written as 60320 which is left-justified to make it be read as 0060320.
We have to move it to right-justifiable then insert 2 leading zeros into it... ;) (1 Reply)

I looked up the manual and tried with

Hello,
I got a question. I have several csv files with lots of data in it and for the first column i have EAN codes.
The problem that i am facing is that some of these codes have the leading 0 removed so they are 12 or less chars while a EAN code is (always?) 13 chars.
For this i used a... (9 Replies)

uudemon
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.

Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
