Sorry - I'm using Solaris 10 and 11. The man page explains it better than I can:

I use it because there is a limit on the number of files that tar cf accepts, that the E flag extends.

It hadn't...

Hi,

I have a script that runs a tar command to standard out then pipes to a gzip:

tar cfE - * | gzip -c > OUT.gz

At the moment, even if the tar fails (e.g. because of lack of disk space),...

I have a script that synchronises a directory to a DR server, but to improve the time, I actually use rsync to transfer files *[123] in one batch and also
*[456] in another batch - both batches...

Hi,

I am working on a Solaris 11 server for the first time and am trying to set up the DR server. Usually I use trusted rsync between Production and DR to copy changed files to the latter, but...

Hi,

I'm writing a post-upgrade script and I want to find which files don't have read and execute to everyone.

I can run a find . ! -perm, but then I have to use a list of the possible...

Great! Now I understand it, I'm much happier using this syntax.

Thanks for your quick reply

I would like to use expr on stdin, but I know it doesn't work. I have seen this syntax:
ls -l|wc -l | xargs expr -3 +

and it seems to do what I need, but could someone explain what the final + is...

The code from Balasejuri mostly worked, but omitted the very last "processing data" line.

Scrutinzer's code worked perfectly.

Thanks to both for your quick replies. I can stop tearing my...

Hi - I'm new to working with multiline records and I'm going nuts trying to do something that seems simple.

Input:
Tue May 1 14:00 Header Record 1 is valid.
Tue May 1 14:00 processing data to...

If you mean set it to 755, then it is already that on both servers for $HOME; I have set $HOME/.ssh to 700.

Does anyone know what these debug messages indicate - to me, it looks like the key is...

It went on to:
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
and then it did ask for a password.

If /u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise$i.sh start hangs, then that is where the problem lies. You have to examine that script to see why. Try running it with a debug flag - e.g. if it's a korn...

Test the loop by just calling a pwd and make sure the loop exits:

if [ "$JBOSS_CMD_TYPE" = "start" ]; then
for i in $JBOSS_INST_ARGS; do
pwd
done
fi

If this succeeds, then you...

Sound silly - but have you remembered to add a final fi to close the if statement.

Also, try using braces for $i:

/u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise${i}.sh start;

My password-free ssh connection has worked in the past but has stopped working and I can't get it going again.

The files in .ssh on both source and target are set to 600:
drwx------ 2 ingres ...

Doesn't look like I have the new KSH, because I get the error "v[3]: "${!VAR}": bad substitution".

Ksh is my preferred (because familiar) shell.

I am setting a number of variables in my script and I would like to test they exist by using a for loop.
e.g.
VAR1=abc
VAR2=xyz
for i in VAR1 VAR2; do
if [ -z $i ]; then
echo Alert
fi
done...
