hey everyone,
thanks for all your help. i got it working!
i installed UWIN on my system and run the program there, it worked. so i tried it on the AIX system, and it worked too!
this is what i used:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# != "1" ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 [login name]"
exit 2
fi
who | grep $1 > /dev/null
if [ $? = "0" ]
then
echo Yes `grep $1 /etc/passwd | cut -f5 -d:` is logged on
exit 0
else
echo No `grep $1 /etc/passwd | cut -f5 -d:` is not logged on
exit 1
fi

the output is 2680.
Any way to combine this two lines into a single line?
Thanks (4 Replies)
I am learning to build from SVN and other tools, with a lot of copying and pasting from forums. I like to append && echo "success" to all commands so that I can see at a glance if things went all right. Is there a way that I can have the bash shell append this to all commands?
Thanks! (5 Replies)
Hi - Within perl I want to execute a system command. I want to re-direct all the output from the command to a file (@result = `$cmd`;), but I ALSO want the results to be displayed on the screen (system("$cmd");
The reason is this - if the command completes, I want to process the output. If the... (6 Replies)

SVTYPE=Fusion. If the keyword is found I am splitting $3 using the . (dot) and reading the portion before and after the dot in an array a.

I have been searching and trying to come up with an awk that will perform the following on a

escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
