diff file1 file2 | grep '^<'|sed 's/^< //' will be much faster

you should be able to write at least part of this script by yourself by now, don't you think?

first connect to the server
then type passive and you will be in passive mode

In these kind of situations you'll find the environment variable $! (pid of backgound process) and the manpage for the command wait very useful.
I recently made something to launch sql statements...

make a file test.awk containing

thanks but I was looking for something that traps the events instead of checking via cron

I'm am looking for a cheap way to trigger a script when a new file is written in a specific directory. AIX 5.3. It is a production system, so no kernel patching (i.e. inotify).

I had to do the following to make it work though

Hi all,

I need a way to test from within a script if it is running from cron or from terminal.

The ways I found till now are:

1) test if $PPID corresponds to the cron daemon
2) see if...

as root, true

was this xml transferred from another system? Your script works for me.

And if it is buried under a layer of subshells ...
kill -9 `ps -o "%P"`

or put an exit in your script
and start your shell with
. script.sh

paste file1 file2| awk '{ printf "%-6s %-7s\n",$1,$2 }'

paste will merge your files tab separated as durden_tyler said and awk will format the output in lines with 2 strings separated by a space,...

.... | awk '{ printf "%-6s %-7s\n",$1,$2 }' (adjust values according to data)

find 200906* -type f
will be faster since it only searches in the right directories

(right about the unneeded g)

sed 's/\<oldtext\>/newtext/g'
(not all sed's support this)

almost does what you want except for the "oldtext-" line, since '-' is a word boundary too

or

echo "'blah blah blah # seew seew'" | sed "s/ *#.*/'/"

sed 's/^oldtext$/newtext/g' $file

printf "%080d"|tr "0" "-"
