Hi All,

I've been struggling with this problem for weeks to no avail.
When I go into Control Center-> Display Preferences my monitor is no longer recognized.

Instead, there is a red box which...

ALLLLRIGHT..........

I got bold and commented out these lines in the daemon script:

##defined (my $pid = fork) or die "Can't fork: $!";
##exit if $pid;
##setsid ...

Yes all that is well and good and I agree. I was the one who proposed cron in the first place. But this company wants something that runs 'continuously'.
I won a compromise by creating a daemon...

I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that the dprdaemon program runs in the background (using 'fork').

I have found this page:

FGA: Mistakes to avoid when designing Unix dmon...

shockneck:


SRCsubsys:
subsysname = "dprdaemon"
synonym = ""
cmdargs = ""
path = "/dplogs/dpr/dpr_daemon"
uid = 0
auditid = 0
...

Okay I created the dprdaemon subsystem with this command:

mkssys -p /dplogs/dpr_daemon -s dprdaemon -u 0 -a "-D" -e /dev/null -i /dev/null -o /dev/null -R -S -Q -f 9 -n 15

I specifically put in...

Does anyone else agree with my mkssys solution?

:confused:

Just clarifying-

So you are agreeing with Shockneck and saying that using the SRC would handle this problem better than an /etc/inittab entry, which is what I did at first?

You agree...

I would have to assume then that the command for doing this (in my instance) would be:

mkssys -p /dplogs/dpr_daemon -s dprdaemon -u 0 -a "-D" -e /dev/null -i /dev/null -o /dev/null -R -S -f 9 -n...

Someone mentioned that perhaps since this program runs in the background, that inittab thinks the program has ended and keeps respawning again and again.

But I don't know how to write a daemon...

Hi All,

May be a dumb question to old AIX hacks, if so apologize.
I have worked with /etc/inittab on SCO, but apparently with AIX you should use the 'mkitab' command to add entries instead of...

I've got a way:

----------

#!/bin/ksh

file1="file1"
file2="file2"

nawk -F, 'BEGIN {
while ((getline < "'$file1'") > 0) {
file2_ar[$1] = $1;
file2_ar[$2] = $2;
file2_ar[$5] = $5;...

I did put that in:

BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}
{ idx = $1 SUBSEP $2 SUBSEP $5 SUBSEP $6 }
NR==FNR { fnew[ idx ] = $0; next }
{
if ( !(idx in fnew) )
$0 = $0 ORS fold[idx]
}
1


Not sure...

Thanks
But something is awry.

OKAY, If I do:
nawk -f jeffawk file2 file1
------------------------
apples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple...

Basically what this is is a logfile that has alerts from a program.
The entries get dropped into a file continually. But some entries have the same date, transaction ID, location, alert code and...

File1:
----------------------------
apples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple
epples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple...

Does anybody want to take a crack at this?
My slow brain is simply not understanding.

If for example:

awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}
NR==FNR{a[$1]=$0; next}
a[$1]{$0=$0 RS a[$1]}{print}'...

it may be sickboys entry is similar...on phone will check when I get off

OKAY----

Here's what I must do.
I have two files. I need to compare the two files such as with the diff command. I am adding FILENEW to FILEOLD

If fields $1, $2, $5, and 6 are the same,...

bakunin,

This appears to be a question that will never die.

I have since found a way (by creating a daemon that checks the logfile for any changes, every 20 seconds or so) to rig a solution,...

Folks, it looks like AIX has a special command called 'a2p', which will actually convert an AWK script on the fly into a functioning PERL program.

I took the ksh pipe out of the 'convert' script,...

what is this forum, Jeopardy?????


Can anyone just give a plain answer, if they know how to do this.
I would be more than willing to do the same. My job is at stake here.

If you honestly...

Unfortunately I am trapped because it looks as if the shell variables aren't available within an AWK script.

$LOGCAT becomes $0, which just kicks up the entire line instead of a value.

Looks...

It looks like I also have 'gawk' capability, and can use this instead.
Not sure what the difference is. Seems basically the same.
