I'm in need of help for a project that I'm working on. I believe Perl would be the best way of handling the string manipulation, however, I've barely used perl, and I'm used to BASH scripting. ...

I'm so frustrated.

I have almost no experience with setting up printers and networking through Linux. That being said, I need some help. In fact, I don't even know if this setup is possible, and...

magnia,

Are you sure it is an issue with the cut statement? I see you have another post open:

No problem, man :)

What do you mean you "got nothing"? You didn't recieve an email? You didn't get anything returned to the prompt (you aren't suppose to).

Do you have a maillog so that we can see if there are any...

I'm not sure if this pertains to you, however, the is some good information on what you are requesting. I'm not sure that you can do this in Solaris:

It depends, again, on the distro.

For Redhat/CentOS (from package manager install):

/etc/init.d/httpd start

For Debian/Ubuntu (from package manager install):

Try the following:

mailx -s "email subject" emailaddresstosendto@domain.tld <<< "email message"

You do something like the following:

find /data3/home/ -type f -name 'TRCansLog*.gz' |
while read filename
do
gzcat $filename | nawk -v fname=$filename '/'$SEARCH'/ {print...

Which Distro of Linux?

On most distro's you can just use their corresponding package managers. You need to search the repos for each distro for the exacts.

It should. I tested it and it worked:

# ls -l /opt/ | tr [a-z] [A-Z]
TOTAL 12
DRWXR-XR-X 9 ROOT ROOT 4096 JUL 17 12:45 VIRTUALBOX
DRWXR-XR-X 9 ROOT ROOT 4096 JUN 11 07:05 SPLUNK

No problem man. Let me know if you need any help with the scripting part! :)

VIM all the way.

Like so:

ls -l > aaaa | tr [a-z] [A-Z] < aaaa

rakeshawasthi is correct.

Here's the commands for your reference, since I have them.

This sets the file as "immutable":

chattr +i file
This unsets it:

chattr -i file

First of all, I apologize for the lack of "attention to detail". You stated the first 20 lines, not the last 20 lines. In this case, just to correct myself, it would be:

head -n 20 >> output.txt...

Grep is a search utility. Obviously, you can use it to return results from a file to text, and I use it for this from time to time. However, I believe you can go at this in a different way, that...

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea what "tools" that I could use that pertain to the command line? This is a base install of CentOS 5.2. X is not installed. There is no GUI.

Thanks in...

Hello All.

I was messing around with Fetchmail on a Test Email account. Here's what my fetchmailrc file looks like:


poll imap.gmail.com proto IMAP fetchall

When I ran this, it...

Hey,

If "work" is your current directory, then you need to state this:

./menu ./ input

I've tested the script and it creates the input file. If the directory does not exist, it does not...

Please supple the actual running of the script (including arguments). For example:


./yourscript /root test.txt


That would mean that /root was $1 and test.txt is $2.

I also need to know...

Another way, you could do the following:


#!/bin/sh
cat sample1.txt | while read FILE
do
SUBSTRING=${FILE:0:3}
echo $SUBSTRING
done

Alright, here's some working code:

#!/bin/sh
choice=0
if [ $# -eq 1 -o $# -eq 2 ]; then
if [ -d $1 ];then
while [ $choice -ne 4 ]; do
clear
...

It works for me - or at least I think it does. Can you be more specific on what you are having issues with? You have a few comments in the code, and it appears that you can issue the following:

Thanks again.
