Your original post uses find -print0 and xargs -0. Is your customer using a GNU userland? If not, those extensions are probably not supported. If they are using a GNU userland and if that's all that...

vgersh99 did not just post man output, he posted the answer. What part of it did you not understand?
Did you even make an attempt.to put that man quote into practice? If so, show us the code and the...

You can repeat it until you're keyboard is dust, but the number of repetitions won't change the fact that you have misunderstood my proposal. Unions aren't complicated and I understand how they work...

If, in fact, the problem is that the loader's lookup process is finding the default system library, an alternative to modifying the environment, and to using -L and -l, is to provide an absolute path...

I'm assuming that you misunderstood what I meant by 'tagged union'. It's the final data structure in my previous post, following the text which you quoted. In C, a tagged union is not a union; it is...

First, you should explain to us. How did it not work? Show us the error messages. If there weren't any, then at least show us an example of the file hierarchy before running the command, after...

Polling the folder and hoping that everything is done is asking for trouble. If you actually care about not copying over a half-written file, you need an atomic step.

First of all, the directory...

Makes sense. Last I heard, default sed...

If the file uses a tab delimiter and there is only 1 per line:
sed 's/\./\t/3; s/\t.*\t/\t/' file
That isn't portable sed, because \t is primarily a GNU extension. However, if it worked for you,...

CS and DS do not need a type member. Whenever CS and DS are being used directly, the code using them already knows what they are. Only ignorant code inspecting the union needs access to a type flag....

There are no upper case letters in bash keywords.

Second, your awk command line options are improperly quoted so that they and the awk script form a single token behind a leading dash.

If you are using bash, and if there's no bash-specific code, try dash or ksh93. Bash isn't an efficient shell.

If this task is performed regularly, you should consider using a dedicated filesystem. When the time comes to wipe it, instead of rm use mkfs (or newfs, or whatever tool your system uses to create a...

This may sound harsh, but you could not have been any lazier if you tried. We are here to help, at no cost to you, so why don't you take the time to explain your data instead of leaving your dump for...

AWK's arrays are associative and its subscripts are strings. i does pop into existence, but, in that string context, its undefined value is converted to an empty string.

awk 'BEGIN { a[i]=5; print...

There is not a single comma in your sample input data.

Please stop using icode for everything you type. Use code only for code and data.

I recommend that you start over with data that actually...

If the entire script is one logical task, then the simplest solution is to use kill 0 to terminate the entire process group.
