Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to sum values on specific line number? Post 303025861 by Don Cragun on Wednesday 14th of November 2018 01:52:45 AM

You haven't told us what shell or operating system you're using.

The following should do what you want with file2 containing all of the summed values from adjacent lines that only contain one field that are found in file1:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
awk '
NF == 1 {
	found = 1
	sum += $1
	next
}
found {	print sum
	found = sum = 0
}
1
END {	if(found)
		print sum
}' file1 > file2

This example uses ksh but should work with any shell that follows Bourne shell or C shell syntax.

If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk in the script to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.

TENTACLE_CLIENT(1)					   Client file transfer protocol					TENTACLE_CLIENT(1)

NAME
tentacle_client - a client file transfer protocol SYNOPSIS
tentacle_client <options> Tentacle is a client/server file transfer protocol that aims to be: - Executable programs or shell commands - System calls (functions provided by the kernel) - Library calls (functions within program libraries) Tentacle was created to replace more complex tools like SCP and FTP for simple file transfer/retrieval, and switch from authentication mechanisms like .netrc, interactive logins and SSH keys to X.509 certificates. Simple password authentication over a SSL secured connection is supported too. The client and server (TCP port 41121) are designed to be run from the command line or called from a shell script, and no configuration files are needed. Tentacle is now the default file transfer method for Pandora FMS and Babel Enterprise. Tentacle is implemented in Perl and ANSI C (Windows platforms included). You can download it and get more information at the official Sourceforge website http://tentacled.sourceforge.net/. OPTIONS
Tentacle Client options : -a address : Server address (default 127.0.0.1). -c : Enable SSL without a client certificate. -e cert : OpenSSL certificate file. Enables SSL. -f ca : Verify that the peer certificate is signed by a ca. -g : Get files from the server. -h : Show help. -k key : OpenSSL private key file. -p port : Server port (default 41121). -q : Quiet. Do now print error messages. -r number : Number of retries for network operations (default 3). -t time : Time-out for network operations in seconds (default 1s). -v : Be verbose. -w : Prompt for OpenSSL private key password. -x pwd : Server password. EXAMPLES
tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -v /bin/bash Simple file transfer with maximum file size set to 1MB tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -v /bin/bash Simple file transfer with password authentication (not secure) tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -e cert.pem -k key.pem -v /bin/bash Secure file transfer with client certificate and password authentication NOTES
Tentacle requires Perl 5.8 or higher to works SEE ALSO
