GIC1986, Yes! That was exactly it. Thanks, I had to change the test condition to include the full path even though the script that cron was running was already in that path.

Thanks!

I tried your (anchal's) suggestion and got the same result. Fail to FTP when called from cron, succeed to FTP when run from shell. Succeed to rename file in both cases. methyl's suggestion looks...

Good morning,

The script below without the hilited text successfully FTPs the files in question to the other server when it is called from the crontab. I don't want to establish an FTP connection...

yeah, I've asked the customer's DBA to check on that. Hopefully he will find something because I think the answer from an AIX forum is that there are no such limits except for the hard physical...

Good morning,

I have an executable called DataExport (not that the name means much), but anyhow, it is a job that runs to call oracle stored procs which then export data out to a text file. ...

I'm going to try your renaming suggestion first - I've created a script in each of the two process directories to take the first *.GO file and mv it into the process folder. I am going to use at or...

The compiler in MKS Toolkit is not working, I don't think it is a problem with the code, here is the error message I am getting:

Goodmorning,

I have a hex encoded file that needs to be parsed to remove some bytes and write the remaining ones to a new file. Here is the top of the file as shown by a hex editor:

Thanks!

While I am sure your solution works perfectly, I was able to work around the problem by changing my SQL that produces the difference between last id and max id and output 'true' if there...

without the back ticks it didn't work, so thanks go to the Smiling Dragon for helping out and thanks joeyg for the attempt. However, it still doesn't work, I get the following as a result:

Currently the value you see is zero, what I need to do is perform an action if that value is...

Thanks for the really helpful tips, but so far no luck. I need to use tr because both awk and sed are getting stuck on the line length. The length of the lines in this pollfile is greater than...

I failed to provide a key piece of info - this is MKS Toolkit, a unix emulator on a windows box.

Here is the error message:
Error executing sort script...

There is a service that runs that we call multi-streaming that calls a shell script multiple times simultaneously. In this shell script is the following line:
tr '\r' '\n' < $POLLFILE.OUT | sed...

The sed produced a new.OUT that was identical to the TL*.OUT

The tr / sed did exactly what was needed. Thanks for the amazing quick reply!

Goodmorning,

I have MKS Toolkit (K-Shell) running on a windows server. On it I have a c program that in a true unix environment works fine, but here it adds an extra '0000000000000016000A' in...

thanks so much, it works now. It even worked before only I had made the mistake of looking for AWL.*.IP which is the standard for all of my other customers, but for this customer the directories are...

Thanks for the quick reply, Porter, but it didn't work. First I ran it as is and got nothing, then I modified it as such:

for d in AWL.????????.IP
do
echo $d
if test -d $d

I'm trying to write a script that identifies whether a directory of the form AWL.????????.IP exists. I have one that exists which is AWL.05301032.IP.

When I test like this: If [[ -d...
