If the server is at a known, fixed IP address, you can assign it two names in /etc/hosts like this. Then either name will connect you to the same server. 192.168.1.21 serverA serverB
Then make a...

Ever since the 80's, I've been appalled at how many people actually think the click-and-wait interface (GUI) is superior to the command line. I suspect that can be explained by most of them never...

echo user1 user2 | xargs -n1 id

You have a smiley there, and you're almost quoting one of those articles, but I hope you're not saying that tongue in cheek. There's some wisdom in your words. If bitcoins had no value, why would...

I just learned about a new "peer-to-peer currency" named Bitcoin (http://www.weusecoins.com/). It also has a wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page).

It promises to be a currency that can be...

When I tried this, I got the same results as you.
(I don't need -X or -l because of my configuration.)
for x in $(seq 1 10); do ssh <server> xeyes & done
But this works, at least for me.
for x in...

I haven't used the MKS toolkit, but here's an interesting test that might shed light:
#!/bin/sh
DIR=/tmp/test
rm -rf $DIR; mkdir -p $DIR; cd $DIR || exit 1
touch "ab cd" "ef gh" "ij kl"

I haven't tried this, but I think you could add -nc (or --no-clobber) to prevent it from downloading a file if one already exists, and then truncate rather than delete.

You'll end up with a bunch...

It looks like you're just using $@.$$$$ very briefly as a temporary file, whose name doesn't matter.
Why not use a different name that doesn't use dollar signs?

$@.TEMP

Or even the same...

This deletes all of the spaces, if any, at the beginning of every line:

sed -e 's/^ *//'

This portion of the same command deletes all the spaces, if any, at the end of every line:

-e 's/...

It could also be /etc/profile or even more likely, a file in /etc/profile.d/.

There's a fair chance that the oracle package installed a file, /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh. If it's causing your...

I think you're missing a dot.
netId1=${host1#$SUBNET.}
netId2=${host2#$SUBNET.}

I've barely touched sqlite, but if it either
- succeeds and returns 0 or
- makes no change at all and returns an error code
(as I would hope it would), you might try something like this.
while...

Unless the target filename has a real dot there.

Wow! That's kind of a mess. Those curly brace characters {} don't belong there.

But I do see /usr/bin, and the type command found the executables, after all.

Oh wait! Rereading your original...

I can think of a 2-step procedure that should work, if I understand:
n=1
for f in $(ls -tr obj*x*.bin); do
mv -v "$f" "TEMP$n-${f#obj*-}"
((n++))
done
for f in TEMP*.bin; do
mv -v...

You have to decide what format you want for the timestamp and/or datestamp.

%Y is the 4-digit date,
%H is the (24-hour) hour, etc.

You can see all the format options by executing man date and...

Here's my script for printing the local IP.

I prefer to get the actual address from the network device instead of the address it's supposed to be in /etc/hosts. But some of my machines have the...
