Help with appending random sequence to huge CDR file
Hi,
I am in a terrible emergency. I have multiple cdr files with line count >6000.
I need to append |0| | | | | | | |random| to end of each line. The random number should never repeat.
Please help with a shell script to process all cdr's in a directory with above requirement.

I need to do croning in PHP to generate a CDR (Call Details Record) file daily from the mysql database.
The CDR file has to be named in a certain sequence such as xx00000xxx200604080850.cdr. A new file is written every day.
The generated CDR file is then ftp over to a server.

urandom
RANDOM(4) Linux Programmer's Manual RANDOM(4)
NAME
random, urandom - kernel random number source devices
DESCRIPTION
The character special files /dev/random and /dev/urandom (present since Linux 1.3.30) provide an interface to the kernel's random number
generator. File /dev/random has major device number 1 and minor device number 8. File /dev/urandom has major device number 1 and minor
device number 9.
The random number generator gathers environmental noise from device drivers and other sources into an entropy pool. The generator also
keeps an estimate of the number of bit of the noise in the entropy pool. From this entropy pool random numbers are created.
When read, the /dev/random device will only return random bytes within the estimated number of bits of noise in the entropy pool.
/dev/random should be suitable for uses that need very high quality randomness such as one-time pad or key generation. When the entropy
pool is empty, reads to /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered.
When read, /dev/urandom device will return as many bytes as are requested. As a result, if there is not sufficient entropy in the entropy
pool, the returned values are theoretically vulnerable to a cryptographic attack on the algorithms used by the driver. Knowledge of how to
do this is not available in the current non-classified literature, but it is theoretically possible that such an attack may exist. If this
is a concern in your application, use /dev/random instead.
CONFIGURING
If your system does not have /dev/random and /dev/urandom created already, they can be created with the following commands:
mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 8
mknod -m 644 /dev/urandom c 1 9
chown root:root /dev/random /dev/urandom
When a Linux system starts up without much operator interaction, the entropy pool may be in a fairly predictable state. This reduces the
actual amount of noise in the entropy pool below the estimate. In order to counteract this effect, it helps to carry entropy pool informa-
tion across shut-downs and start-ups. To do this, add the following lines to an appropriate script which is run during the Linux system
start-up sequence:
echo "Initializing kernel random number generator..."
# Initialize kernel random number generator with random seed
# from last shut-down (or start-up) to this start-up. Load and
# then save 512 bytes, which is the size of the entropy pool.
if [ -f /var/random-seed ]; then
cat /var/random-seed >/dev/urandom
fi
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/random-seed count=1
Also, add the following lines in an appropriate script which is run during the Linux system shutdown:
# Carry a random seed from shut-down to start-up for the random
# number generator. Save 512 bytes, which is the size of the
# random number generator's entropy pool.
echo "Saving random seed..."
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/random-seed count=1
