so been working with the customer SA and they state they're using sshd.conf to limit access. They're using AllowGroups for their delineation. I'm sure other customers are likely using other options,...

I would not know this going in. I would need to read the config file during script execution which is why I was hoping someone with a bit more experience might provide examples. If you can suggest a...

I'm already running a generic LDAP query. The problem is, the results are the same on every server. For Identity and Access Management, this isn't what I want as not all uses have access to all...

I have an in interesting dilemna that I am trying to address. I have some ldap queries that I use to retrieve user information to perform access validations on a quarterly/annual basis. I can...

So after much playing around with this, it really came down to a simple command that often gets overlooked. I just had to use the tee command to redirect the output back to the screen. I just...

I am definitely stumped. When I run with set -x, I can see everything being output. However, whenever I run it without it, the output from the called functions is suppressed until they return back to...

does the line begin with user1? does it end with it? do you have a sample line that includes this user1 record? Will user1 always be lower case or could it be mixed case?

And as Corona688 said,...

Thanks Rudi, I had already tried that before posting. It all runs correctly, weird thing is, that the output is being delayed to screen until the commands all complete and then they all pop up. Was...

I am trying to figure out why I am having a "problem" with some functions in a bash script I am running. The reason for air quoting is that the functions are working, they are just not displaying...

I have some scripts where I go and do some LDAP/NIS queries to report on users on Unix servers. What I am trying to figure out is, how do I know which server is the LDAP? The configs have been in...

Both solutions worked, but your solution RudiC gave me the "just a few seconds" type of result I was looking for.

Thanks to you as well Aia as you taught me a different way to deal with "while...

I wrote myself a small little shell script to clean up a file I have issues with. In particular, I am stripping down a fully qualified host/domain name to just the hostname itself. The script works,...

that looks like it should do the trick for converting the data to pipe delimited. i can strip out the extra quotes after the fact. thanks a million, you just saved me a ton of work.:b:

I have a small quandry. I had server reports that I pulled from a database that came out pipe "|" delimited. The developers have now changed the format to CSV. The issue is that some fields have...

Thanks Corona688. That solved my problem. And now that I see it in the code, the problem is a bit more obvious. Appreciate the explanation.

Hello folks, having a new problem with an old solution I previously had working, but think i'm missing something here.

File1:
900001093|HAMU1|SUDO_ALIAS
100100361|IAM_IDS|SUDO_ALIAS...

RudiC,

Thanks so much. This actually worked and I like the idea of using the "MATCH=" to set what I want to look for. Totally makes life easier. The only thing I had to do was change the RLENGTH...

Apologies for not posting actual data. I cleaned it up a bit for outside consumption and limited the amount for brevity, but made sure to include problem samples. Based on these three lines, I would...

Just curious, it seems that your original Unix based file is not a CSV file at all and actually has |_| as the delimiter? If so, that changes things a bit with the approach needed.

Thanks MadeInGermany.

That got me closer to what I needed. Failure on my part to say that I could "MY_TOKEN1" could be anywhere in the field, but I worked around that by removing the caret....

If you are using a telnet client of any sort (putty is most common), then you could have the mapping being done by that application. It is also possible that Informix does its own mapping (been a...

Hello fellow unix geeks,

I am having a small dilemna trying to parse a log file I have. Below is a sample of what it will look like:


MY_TOKEN1(group) TOKEN(other)|SSID1
MY_TOKEN2(group,...

I forgot that one too. The reason I can't change my logic is because i'm dealing with human inputs and for some reason people can't seem to follow simple guidelines so I have to go search for all the...

That makes a lot more sense. I was wondering why it was just grabbing everything. I totally forgot that the "asterisk" matched 0 or more references and that I needed to add the "dot".

Thanks so...
