Ygor's solution will work with ksh95 or pdksh. But ksh88 only expands variables...it won't do a general parse. I am not real fond of invoking the date command with each each display of the prompt....

Depending on your locale, you can do something like this:

$ printf "%'d\n" 1000
1,000

When commandline printf runs out of arguments in the command string, it repeats the command string. Try this:

printf "%s\n" a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

I get tired of hearing ksh being called "portable" when it's available almost nowhere I go unless I install it myself, and people keep banging their heads on ancient versions which have almost none...

@jlliagre, we would need some parentheses, no?
if [ $(echo "if (1.1 == 1.10) 0 " | bc) -eq 0 ]; then echo "great"; else echo "no go"; fi
But still, this would leave us with an error message in test...

Hi,

Author of the ckwtmpx program mentioned above here.

This is correct. However there were a couple of things that I found sub-optimal:

1. wtmpfix(1M) is too aggressive. I have a test...

Just as a thought, it may be worth it to change BOTH users to new uids. You'd have to change all the files owned by either user to the appropriate new uid. But six months from now, when you find a...

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the -R option indicated that fdisk should treat the disk as read-only.

to replace at the 49th field/occurence of pipe symbol ( | )
sed 's/|/|||/49' inputfile

The t saves/prevents looking for B if you find A. While this list is trivial, longer lists can be created with the most likely at the top to save processing, when you do many possible transforms.

I wouldn't recommend to go with fixed settings on both sides, this is yesterday's technology. It is better to use auto negotiation on both sides. For gigabit ethernet, autonegotation is mandatory by...

Yes, it is a nitpick, because you're not pointing out a broken or missing feature: You're just complaining that it's not ksh. I do multi-line editing quite frequently. BASH substitutes semicolons...
