Ha, well I actually just told him I was going to change it back, and he just shrugged and let it go. Which is funny because when I talked to him about it the other day he was pretty adamant about...

Thanks! I'll take a look at that.


Thank you, I agree with you. This guy is a special breed, thinks he's gods gift to sys admins. His way or the highway. When I first started my instinct was...

I have a coworker that has set up some funky aliases in /etc/bash.alias, and he insists on leaving them that way. For example he aliased "ll" to "ls -lahtr", which really bugs me.

Anyway, I was...

Thanks! Yes, I agree this system should not have been installed on such large disks. There are a couple of 300GB disks in there that I think the rootvg should go on. I am new to this company and...

I figured out the problem. Yes I had already used sysdumpdev to verify that I was actually using the devices in question. The rootvg is fine, the reason it has a 1GB PP size is because the disks it...

I am trying to configure dump devices on my AIX server. Running 7100-03-04-1441. My dump device needs to be about 2GB in size. My PP Size is 1024MB, so I create the device with 2 PPs. When I run...

Yeah sorry about that, I hadn't even realized it till you mentioned it. I looked at my $PATH, no . there. So when you say that I may have accidentally run a cleanup script by mistake, how would...

Well the dot in the destination wasn't originally there, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've since tried tests with and without it, and can't replicate the problem.

Neither cpio or...

The u does an unconditional file copy. In other words, normally, cpio would only copy changed files. The u tells it to copy everything, no matter what. I did that because I had a large number of...

So I ran into a strange problem the other day when using cpio. I'm not really sure this needed to be in an HPUX specific forum, but wasn't sure where else to put it. I'm running HPUX 11.11 PARISC....

Hey everyone, my wife has purchased a bundle package of a bunch of images from a site, and now has to download each one of them manually. There are about 500 downloads, and it's quite a hassle to...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Ok here's what I'm trying to do. I need to get a listing of all the mountpoints on a system into a file, which is easy enough, just using something like "mount | awk '{print $1}'"

However, on a...

I know this thread is a little old, but just in case you still haven't solved it...

I think the option you are missing from the find command is -user.

For example, this command should do the...

Thanks for the reply. I would have replied back sooner, but haven't gotten a chance to try it out till now. I actually like the --stdin option. The script actually won't be holding a plain text...

Ok, first off, I'm working on a Vmware ESX server, which I guess is loosely based off of Red Hat 9. But I'm brand new to it (today), so be nice.

I'm trying to write a useradd script that will...

How can I add a user to a specific group without using SAM? I know I can user modprpw -G, but that will overwrite any groups the user is in with the ones I specify.

I need to assume that I do...

Hey, I'm creating a custom useradd script, and I'm giving the option to add secondary groups. Basically what I want to do is ask for the name of the group, you type in the group you want to add, it...

Thanks! Exactly what i was looking for.

Hey, I've create a custom useradd script, and I don't want the person creating the user to be able to put comma's in any of the input fields, because it could corrupt the /etc/passwd file.

I...

Hey, I've got a script using mailx to send an email to the user, but i'd like it if I could have it send the email sometime in the future, not right away. And by future, i mean like 1 minute in the...

Now that is perfect. Thanks a bunch! It works just like I need.

Well, I guess I'll have to settle for that. It works at least in identifying the differences. It doesn't print them out in a nice little list, but it'll have to do. If there were a way to take the...

I apologize for being such a noob at all this. But all that command seems to do is print out the contents of the users file referenced at the end.

Well, I'm not sure how to read that ouput from the diff command. I looked at the man page, but it still doesn't make much sense. I can see that it's listing all the users, and then every so often...
