Hi everyone,
What I am trying to do is assign a F-key a macro to save a file in vi and display said file in firefox. The details are as follows:

Hello eveyone, I am tasked to write an (n)awk script to calculate the days between dates. Now before anyone chastizes me on how many forums there are on date calculation, I have no seen one that...

I believe I know where you are going. I used the above for loop instead but I think you are pointing out the fact that some users might have there tty's turned off for receiving messages. Is that...

Thanks and I got it, but I believe the $NAME should be \$NAME. That is the way it worked for me. I appreciate your help!

Sure, the for loop but I could not get it to work either. i.e.


echo "\nEnter time: "
read TIME
echo "\nEnter message: "
read MESSAGE
echo "\nEnter user(s): "
read LOGNAMES
at -k $TIME <<...

The only thing I can think of is to write the message to the disk and then have the message read off the disk when the job is executed. I have done that before but my professor was not to keen on...

I corrected this with a ">" and appreciate that.


I'm not really quite sure what you are telling me here. Are you saying that the message is not getting into the at command?

Got it! Here is the correct code. Still needs some efficiency put into it but it will work for the time being.

Makefile Tutorial (http://mrbook.org/tutorials/make/) Should be able to help with no problems.

Ok everyone, I am back. My problem this time is the elm -s in the 2nd if loop is not working. I cannot get it to mail the message to me when I am offline. Here is my code:

# Alertme.p1 program,...

Ok, so I got the last problem straightened out and now I have another. It seems I am so close yet so far away. Here is my code;

#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
# Alertme.p1 program, version 0.5

Yes on the alternative shell. I added a -k switch to:

at -k $TIME << !!

and now the ioctl error is gone.

Sorry about that Corona and I appreciate all your help! Kudos!

The script should be korn

#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh


Sorry, for some reason I missed that in the cut and paste.
The system tells me:

commands will be executed using /bin/csh

Come to think of...

I tried,
write $LOGNAME < ~/Msgs/message.$$ > /dev/null 2>dev/null
and
write $LOGNAME < ~/Msgs/message.$$ > /dev/null 2>&1
I did take out the
|| mail $LOGNAME < ~/Msgs/message.$$
on both...

That did not solve my problem. I may not have explained it correctly so I will try again. The script is to send a reminder to me using the at command. If I am online, then it will write to me. If I...

Try reading the man pages on sed and grep. It is not as hard as you think. You can use the | (pipe) command.

Thanks to all who helped. The conversation has been interesting and informative.

Sweet, thanks to all who helped. I did not use the back quote. Yes I have to say the conversation was very entertaining and informative as well.

That is correct and is what I stated in my very first post. As stated in the third post it is echoing the whole roster line. I am trying to loop through the whole roster file and trying to have the...

Great that took care of the earlier problem, now I have another. My output is as follows:
