Hello Neo,

This sounds positive to me. I've too often had ticketing systems at work replaced and all the old history and knowledge get lost. One sites there going, "I know we did this last year,...

Would you not be better re-writing the loop to have the loop read the data in rather than have it piped to? That might sound confusingly similar, but some shells will start a sub-process when you...

Could you store a 'previous last line' value somewhere to use between runs? That way you could:-
Copy the log file to a temporary directory (to get a fixed file to work with)
Read the 'previous...

It's not a super clear question, but you might consider:-
If it's user login, these would be recorded in the system logs - look in /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/rsyslog.conf for the files you write to....

The need to create such an oddly named file is a little concerning. You would later on have to read it in a similarly convoluted way and your backup process may not like it either.

Can you...

Welcome BeckyMoore,

When you say that you want to download an image, it's really rather vague. For the image, do you mean:-
A visible picture on a website
A software installer image
The...

If it's not a big file, you can get a simple to understand but clunky way by using the output of grep -n "start" $filename and grep -n "end" $filename to get you the record numbers to search between...

You probably need to add a search record in your resolv.conf file. The manual page has the appropriate syntax. You can add multiple suffixes if you need to. Do you have a selection you would want...

Welcome Srikavya_manda,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
What have you tried so far?
What output/errors...

Hello rabrant,

Sorry for the delayed response but I've been trying to think about this to find a good reason to do it. I would always recommend against it. It's not something I have done, and...

Can you show us how you tried to redirect the output?

Please wrap your commands and the output in CODE tags. To do this, you can simply highlight your text that is code or data and then click on...

It might be that you are not getting output but actually it is errors being displayed. Standard output (good things you want to see) are written to file descriptor 1. Standard errors (bad things...

Hello ctrld,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
What have you tried so far?
What output/errors do you get?...

Perhaps the SPOOL command will only write to a new file and refuse to append or overwrite an existing one.

Do you get any messages if you remove the SET FEEDBACK OFF and try it again with the file...

Dear faizlo,

The privilege you have permits you to become the superuser, but not to directly run anything from your account but as the superuser.

If you can become the superuser, then I presume you are the...

Hello pranabpal,

It would have been better to show what you had tried so we can see your preferred style/tools etc. That way we would find a solution that you could understand better when you...

Hello mrAibo,

You might get some joy from the output of the stat command. The file is Modified as it is created and Changed as the content is written, however this might not be safe for a polling...

I defer to your superior offering (and I will steal it if I ever have a similar need ;))



Kindest regards,
Robin

How about using a single line sed like this:-sed "s/^C\( CALL.*'\(Gmax\|Gmin\|HS10\|HS2\|HS9\|Hmax\)'.*\)/\1/" source_file_name > target_file_name

It's a little messy to read, so:-

What do these give you?grep -n '' file1 | head
grep -n '' file2 | headI agree that this is most likely peculiar characters in the data. To see if we can spot something, can you:head file1 | od -tx...

I would think that you are spending a lot of time in your loop repeatedly opening the database connection. Could you build all the queries into a single command file and execute one DB read? The...

This is telling you that the value for pday is not set or not an integer, so your command as a whole becomes invalid. Could you sh -xv rmAgingFile.sh file*.log 2 and review the output to see what is...

It depends quite what you are looking for. Do any of these help (sorry but I no longer have access to AIX so I'm a bit rusty!)lspv
lspv -v
lspv -l

I'd be very worried by this approach. You are inviting someone to put something dangerous in a file and mentioning that as a parameter and then you will call/run that unrestricted code to control...
