My boss has asked me to create a unix script to check header files vs data files and to send an email in case of any failure.
I have very little unix scripting experience and it was now long ago so I'm a bit concerned I wont be able to turn this around by end of day tomorrow.
I've taken his requirements and turned it into a kind of pseudocode to help me design the script but now the exact Unix commands to use for each piece will require a lot of googling and testing on my part.
I am hoping that some kind person with years of experience will be able to turn this into ksh script for me in a matter of minutes
Here is an example header file, fixed width (50 C filename, 10 C count, ' *) = 62 chars.
Any help with this would be ever so much appreciated, but if you all have better things to do I wont be offended and will crack on with this tomorrow morning!
I am running Solaris 9 and wanted the CDE stopped when my users login. Can this be done by adding something to the .profile? Basically when they login they should be at the command line and have to start the CDE themselves.

For two straight days someone was running in.ftpd in my server (apparently looking to break in) and when I would do "top" almost every line would read "in.ftpd". I had a unix sysadmin friend of mine shut it down and then start it back up in a day and a half and all seems OK for now.
Here's what I... (1 Reply)
