Anyway, could u tell me if it is suppose to freeze? When I execute
the bash freezez and after an certain amout of time it ends. The file is created 512MB, hurray.
But I have to run a signal during the DD process to check the progress. I searched on the internet and I found this signal for checking the progress:
. But how I am supposed to check the DD pid and after to run this signal if the bash freezes after executing the dd line?
Hi I want to genrate 10 random 32 bit binary numbers with hamming distance 4 and 8.
11010110010101010101010101010101
11010110010101010100010101010010
if we look carefully at these two binary numbers they differ at 4 places hence hamming distance 4. Now I want to genrate these numbers... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am having trouble with generating random numbers. can this be done with awk?
So I have a file that looks like this:
23 30
24 40
26 34
So column1 is start and column2 is end. I want to generate 3 random #'s between start and stop:
So the output will look like this:

Im new to C, and Im having a hard time getting a random number.
In bash, I would do something similar to the following to get a random number;
#!/bin/bash
seed1=$RANDOM
seed2=$RANDOM
seed3=$RANDOM
SEED=`expr $seed1 * $seed2 / $seed3`
echo ${SEED%.*}
Now, in online examples... (4 Replies)
Need to use dd to generate a large file from a sample file of random data. This is because I don't have /dev/urandom.
I create a named pipe then:
dd if=mynamed.fifo do=myfile.fifo bs=1024 count=1024
but when I cat a file to the fifo that's 1024 random bytes:
cat randomfile.txt >... (7 Replies)

Hi,
How can I generate a string of random characters (alpha+numeric) of a particular length ?
For e.g. for
n=5, output = 'kasjf'
n=10, output = 'hedbcd902k'
Also, please let me know if random (valid) dates could also be generated.
Thanks (7 Replies)
Hi Guys and gals...
As you know I am getting to grips with POSIX and hit this stumbling block.
Generating two random numbers 0 to 255 POSIXly. Speed in not important hence the 'sleep 1' command.
I have done a demo that works, but it sure is ugly! Is there a better way?

uuidgen
UUIDGEN(1) General Commands Manual UUIDGEN(1)NAME
uuidgen - command-line utility to create a new UUID value
SYNOPSIS
uuidgen [-r|-t]
DESCRIPTION
The uuidgen program creates (and prints) a new universally unique identifier (UUID) using the libuuid(3) library. The new UUID can reason-
ably be considered unique among all UUIDs created on the local system, and among UUIDs created on other systems in the past and in the
future.
There are two types of UUID's which uuidgen can generate: time-based UUID's and random-based UUID's. By default uuidgen will generate a
random-based UUID if a high-quality random number generator is present. Otherwise, it will chose a time-based UUID. It is possible to
force the generation of one of these two UUID types by using the -r or -t options.
OPTIONS -r Generate a random-based UUID. This method creates a UUID consisting mostly of random bits. It requires that the operating system
have a high quality random number generator, such as /dev/random.
-t Generate a time-based UUID. This method creates a UUID based on the system clock plus the system's ethernet hardware address, if
present.
