Thanks to everybody for your help. I ended up going with frank_rizzo's suggestion and I now have it working. I didn't even know about the rindex() function so that would probably be why I was...

Hello,

I'm trying to write a method which will return the extension of a file given the file's name, e.g. test.txt should return txt. I'm using C so am limited to char pointers and arrays. Here...

I think I may have it figured out. Is this correct:
if((perms->st_mode & S_IRWXO) && S_IROTH != 1) then return an error
to check if a file is world-readable and return an error if it's not? ...

Hello,

After, I stat() a file, how can I read the various permissions flags from the st_mode variable which is of type mode_t? I would like to do something like:
struct stat *perms;
int res =...

OK, thanks for the input.

Oye vey. screen isn't installed on this system. Is there any other way to bring it back or will I just have to wait for it to finish?

On a side note: what's the reasoning behind only being able...

I started a Java process via SSH that I knew was going to take a long time to run so I backgrounded it and let my SSH session expire. I logged back in to check up on it (it prints its output to...

Well, I would do that except for it's possible for the process to start up unhealthily (couldn't think of another word). This means that the process is alive but not functioning the way it's...

Hello,

I'm writing a script that will automate the launch of some services on my AIX machine. However, some services are dependent on the successful startup of others. When I start these...

@Klashxx:

After looking at rdist, it doesn't seem like this will be an option as it requires all machines to be running the rdist daemon, correct? The three servers do not run them and it's not...

Not possible. The policy is very strict and, as I said, not under our control.

I have not heard of rdist. I will look into it and probably be back with more questions.

Thanks.

They do support SSH but the FTP doesn't support interaction. When I tried to write a batch file and call it with
sftp -B batchfile
it says:

In other words, I didn't want to hard-code the...

One of the servers does use PK authentication but it still requires a passphrase to unlock the private key. The other two are strictly password-based and, unfortunately, the policy is not under our...

There are three things I see:

1. In the second command, if the shell finds another "mount" in your $PATH before it finds it in /usr/lib/fs/hsfs/ then it will use that one, which I'm guessing it is...

Hello,

I'm writing a script to automate the delivery of our code to different target environments and I was wondering if there's any way to cut down on the number of authentications that are...

Nevermind. I seem to have found the answer in egrep. I can't get exactly what I need but I'm playing with it and if I can't figure it out I'll post back.

Thanks.

Is there a way to pipe multiple expressions to grep where grep will search for anything matching either of the expressions? I've looked in the manual but haven't found anything that fits this case. ...

I knew it had to be something stupid like that. Thanks, matrixmadhan. My Java background definitely came into play there.

Hi Folks,

New member here. I have been using UNIX systems for the past ~4 years (Linux, AIX, HP-UX, mostly) but have never had the need to write a script for myself. Now, things have changed and...
