Hi all:

Been racking my brain on this for the last couple of days and what has been most frustrating is that this is the last piece I need to complete a project.

There are numerous posts...

Doesn't matter who's account the cronjob is from. Cron has only a minimal environment. You need to make sure the ENV is set for cron as well.

I believe I also see time differences.

The cron...

Hi all:

I'm trying to pass an argument to a command but it's being difficult.

#!/bin/bash
set -xv

if [ "$#" -gt 1 ]; then
echo "More than 1 argument entered"
echo "Please enter a...

Is there any way to see how many queries come into our external DNS server? In looking at DNS providers, most of them base pricing on number of queries per month so I just wanted to see if you had...

Don't comment the line.

Put in a negate character so it looks like so;
Defaults !requiretty

Here is an answer I submitted yesterday. This is a cut&paste of that answer.
The application is different but the functions of what you are looking for are the same.

For the 'no tty...

For the 'no tty present', open up your sudoers file and look for a line that says

Change it so the requiretty has the negate character in front. Make it look like

Notice the exclamation...

Almost is not absolute.

Yes I have seen systems without it as well, but they typically deselect or remove after the fact. And then again, just change the perms on the vi executable and it is...

Does it have to be NFS mount in order to copy the file? NFS is not always the best way to go.

Can you use other utilities such as 'scp' or 'rsync' to name a couple? If you have mixed up versions...

Using the limited info you provided, your connection would be to the [share], so the connection syntax would be;

\\192.168..1.6\share

The version of win (XP vs 7 vs Vista) and the version of...

Not sure but does AIX have the 'time' command? If so, preface your command with the time command
time <your command>
This will provide the system time, the user time and the total time.

There could be limitations based on your kernel settings, network settings, system load, etc. At a minimum usage and low load levels, probably not. But the question will be asked - WHY? I believe...

Unsent mail stays on a system (unless somebody deleted it), I believe it is in /var/spool/mail. If all you want is to get the mail off the system just grab those files. It could be a lot of work as...

True, pax SHOULD be available. But sometimes it is not.
I think some distros install by default and some don't. With cpio it is always installed by default.

I have been using pax for years on...

You can also use the cpio command in conjunction with find. This keeps the perms, time stamps, owners/group, links, etc. This option is independent of OS distro and/or version.

Begin by placing...

If you can put a remote console card in the system.

For Dell this would be iDRAC
HP would be iLO

You can do cold power off, come back later when you feel like it and power on.

If your HW...

Creation date - take that with a grain of salt. A file will have the creation date (if you want to call it that) if the file has never been modified. Example, create a file with something in it. Now,...

Seeing that both jane and jules are in the same group;

chmod g+s <dir name>setting the sticky bit, aka, groupid, for the directory.
This forces the subdirectories and files to inherit the group...

Yes, you can include the option(s) to find that allow you to sort alphabetically, numerically, chronologically, etc. Example, you may be looking for files between 45 days and 90 days and you want...

vi (or vim) isn't necessarily my preference but I am almost assured that it will exist on whatever UN*X distro. Unless it was removed (why would they do that? I don't know but I have seen it...

Is the find command of any use?

cd /<your subdir>
find . -depth -type f

This find command will just list the files. From here you can -exec your touch command.

find . -depth -type...

Hi all:

I'm working on a HPUX 11.23 system and I am needing to parse a tomcat-jakarta log file for memory use. Getting the desired data is easy, assuming the log file does not grow. This file...

Hi all:

Trying to parse a log file of rsync activity to get the amount of date being transferred. The log file contains multiple dates and what I am trying to do is get the file sizes for the...

Many thanks to both of you. radoulov did the trick.

Kinda, sorta. The '_' delimiter is only picking up the ckpt, lgwr, pmon, smon, etc processes. Not getting the connections (LOCAL=). The format of the output is crucial as well since I am wanting to...
