Sorry for such a dreadful title, but I'm not sure how to be more descriptive. I'm hoping some of the more gurutastic out there can take a look at a solution I came up with to a problem, and advice if there are better ways to have gone about it.

I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a set of variables that are numbered based on another variable (using eval) in a loop, and then call on it before the loop ends.
As an example I've written a script called question (The fist command is to show what is the contents of the... (2 Replies)
Hi Im running this script, which is supposed to find the max value build some tables and then stop running once all the tables are built. Thing is , it keeps assigning a null value to $h and then $g is null so it keep building tables i.e. testupdateNUL. How can I stop this? Here is what I have:

Hi all
Sorry for the basic question, but i am writing a shell script to get around a slightly flaky binary that ships with one of our servers. This particular utility randomly generates the correct information and could work first time or may work on the 12th or 100th attempt etc !.... (4 Replies)
Hi,
hope I am posting in the right section.
My problem is that I have 2 or more arguments passed and I want to check if the arguments passed exists or not.
The first argument should not exist and the remaining others should exist.
example:
./shells.sh argument1 argument2 argument3

Hi, I was debating if I should put this in the dummies or scripts section, I apologize in advance if I chose poorly.
Fairly new to Unix and BASH scripting but I thought I made it fairly well given my limited understanding. However, the output indicates that it's looping and I'm ending up with a... (5 Replies)
Hello All,
Maybe I'm Missing something here but I have NOOO idea what the heck is going on with this....?
I have a Variable that contains a PATTERN of what I'm considering "Illegal Characters". So what I'm doing is looping
through a string containing some of these "Illegal Characters". Now... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I want to read file multiple times. Right now i am using while loop but that is not working.
ex.

Hi all,
i developed a script to measure the uptime of a process in a Solaris 10/11 environments.
All is well, but i came across a situation where there are multiple processes of the same name. Basically i have the following result file:

ppmquant
ppmquant(1) General Commands Manual ppmquant(1)NAME
ppmquant - quantize the colors in a portable pixmap down to a specified number
SYNOPSIS
ppmquant [-floyd|-fs] ncolors [ppmfile]
ppmquant [-floyd|-fs] [-nofloyd|-nofs] -mapfile mapfile [ppmfile]
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may
use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its value.
DESCRIPTION
pnmquant is a newer, more general program that is backward compatible with ppmquant. ppmquant may be faster, though.
Reads a PPM image as input. Chooses ncolors colors to best represent the image, maps the existing colors to the new ones, and writes a PPM
image as output.
The quantization method is Heckbert's "median cut".
Alternately, you can skip the color-choosing step by specifying your own set of colors with the -mapfile option. The mapfile is just a ppm
file; it can be any shape, all that matters is the colors in it. For instance, to quantize down to the 8-color IBM TTL color set, you
might use:
P3
8 1
255
0 0 0
255 0 0
0 255 0
0 0 255
255 255 0
255 0 255
0 255 255
255 255 255
If you want to quantize one image to use the colors in another one, just use the second one as the mapfile. You don't have to reduce it
down to only one pixel of each color, just use it as is.
If you use a mapfile, the output image has the same maxval as the mapfile. Otherwise, the output maxval is the same as the input maxval,
or less in some cases where the quantization process reduces the necessary resolution.
The -floyd/-fs option enables a Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion step. Floyd-Steinberg gives vastly better results on images where the
unmodified quantization has banding or other artifacts, especially when going to a small number of colors such as the above IBM set. How-
ever, it does take substantially more CPU time, so the default is off.
-nofloyd/-nofs means not to use the Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion. This is the default.
