I would like to setup a cron job to run a command from another directory.

What is the best way to do this?

The cron file is in a directory and the script I want it to run is in another...

Thats a shame.

Thanks for your help.

It works fine for me on an echo but not with the grep.



That works fine with echo and grep! Thank you.

Any ideas how I can >> the output to a file on another server?

Have tried >>...

Yes, it is 'User Session: Current user count: 300' and is coming out as ',Thu Jun 25 12:56:00 BST 2009count: 300'

Also, how can I add another input like date.

I've tried doing sed...

No joy, still missing text.



Thanks. Changed it to `date` and it is now displayed properly.

Thanks.

Thanks but that is now doing:

,Thu Jun 25 13:04:59 BST 2009count: 3

Where 'count 3' should have four words infront of it!

I've tried changing the order of sed "s/$/,$(date)/" around but that...

Excellent.

That is putting the date before the grep result - is there a way to switch it around and maybe separate them by a comma?

I've setup a cron job that greps a file every five minutes and then writes (appends) the grep output/result to another file:

grep "monkey" zoo.log | tail -1 >> cron-zoo-log

Is there any way I...

Are you sure that is not or rather than and? It is showing lines with just one string in.

Is it possible to grep for lines in a file that have two strings?

I am grepping a tail -f of a file.

I want to display the full line or all lines with cat and dog in them

#tail -f log.log |...

That's great. Thanks.

I am running a command which has a parameter that outputs the results to a file each time it is run.

Here is the command:

--fullresult=true > importlog.xml

Can I add the output to the file...

Thanks. That did the trick.

I have a command that does something and then creates a log file (importlog.xml).

I then want to grep that newly created log (importlog.xml) file for a certain word (success).

I then want to...

Sorry, do I enter all three lines to uncompress?

I have some log files that have been gzipped and then compressed using cpio.

There are a number of log files that have been compressed to the one file.

When I extract them the date of the file...

I am logged into a server via SSH.

There is a file on my desktop of my Windows PC I would like to put on that server.

How do I do it?

SCP looks the likely method but how does the server know...

I tried to install webalizer on my Solaris Unix server so I can look at some webserver logs. I did not have libgd installed so I installed it and I think it went ok (not sure how to tell).

But...

Thanks.

No sorry, been busy with my day job, only had a few minutes now to come back to it.

Yes the file is rather large so I will use awk.

Do you know how I could go about doing a find and replace on one of the strings?

For example on string2 of this grep "^string1" "^string2" file >...

Thanks for that!

Not sure how I can go about changing the Apr into a 4 and Jan into a 1 and so on...

Any ideas?

Is this something SED would be used for or can AWK do it?

I have a string that I would like to chop bits out of and re-arrange some of the rest.

Basically I want to change this:
<log4j:event...

Thank you very much.

Excellent, thanks!

What if I wanted to do two in one:

grep "^string1" "^string2" file > newfile

With either grep or awk?
