In that case, any other format for the characters would work properly?

This is one of the strangest things that's happening to me.

The file is originally in .mof format, but I also saved the contents into a...

Awesomeness, this worked! Thanks so much! :)

There's a small SH script I'm trying to write where it will get the current month and find a log file that is based on the date.
Example: Today is February, so the log file is going to be 201102.log...

Wow, thanks so much!
This worked!! ... 99%, anyways, hahaha.
Because I used keys, I just had to make it:

I have a script where it finds the most current modified file in a directory, transfers that file into another server, then run a script which is on that another server.

I can find the file and...

The main problem I have right now is that whenever I...

I've only used Perl for scripting, so I'll give you some advice for Perl.

Read rules.txt and read each line.
If the line has any of those keywords in defaultRules, then do nothing.

I am able to send emails with no problem, but reading emails and their properties (From,...

Hmm, crud, Perl threads... I haven't done threading for a long time...
Well, if it works, then that's what I will have to refresh my memory with.
Many thanks!! :)

Sorry, I should've been more specific.

Basically, I have a Perl script that I...

If all server names are on one file, then pinging each of them one by one will take a long time, especially if some of them are unreachable (which WILL happen). That is why I want to try to fork the...

Actually, that sounds pretty good.
Just means more scripting for me to remember, hahaha.

What about this scenario, though?
Since pinging can take a while (especially with a lot of servers and...

Would that really work, though? To me, it sounds like the script is being run at the same time on 4 different occasions (... I wonder if that makes sense or not...).
To me, the problem is that I...

Keep in mind that I haven't done Perl scripting for a LONG time, so I'm quite rusty.

This is what I would like to do:
