Hello all,

I am working on a script to automate the process of restarting some tomcat servers. The versions of tomcat are pretty old and it often happens that they don't shut down gracefully and...

`>filename` works for me on Solaris and Gentoo Linux (and I'm assuming every other Linux). Makes an empty, 0-byte file. The `cat filename > /dev/null` doesn't change the file since you are only...

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it with the full command (thus re-evaluating whether the pid exists) to see if that helps.

Regarding your question, the process may not sustain a kill -9 over a...

I've tried this type of while loop too (since I think a while loop makes more sense for what I'm trying to do):


while [ $tcpid != "" ]
do
(sudo kill -9 $tcpid)
sleep 5
done

Hi all,

My tiny mind is struggling with the following script that shuts down Tomcat on Sol. 8 and kills any defunct processes Tomcat might leave behind (as it so often does). I realize that fixing...

Thanks for the help. I got it sorted. Here's what I used:

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to try a few things out and see how far I get. I'll post back what I wound up using.

Hello all,

I have a situation where I have a web root directory with a few thousand users spread out into 100 subdirectories in a 00/firstname.lastname, 01/firstname.lastname, etc. hierarchy. I...

In Nero you're going to want to select the "Burn CD Image" option (or words to that effect). Then you will get a dialog box asking you where the image is. I think you have to pull down the "filetype"...

If you're looking to an alternative to Linux, then I'm assuming you're looking for a version of Unix that'll install on x86 architecture, right? That'll limit your choices somewhat. I don't really...

I got this book recently and it's really terrific. Very thorough. I was quite surprised. I will be taking the tests at the end of Sept / early Oct. so I'll report how well I do. The author has a site...

Did you try "man grep" and searching for "recursive"?

You can try grep -r for recursive, or there's a --directories (-d) option (at least on the grep that's on my Gentoo box). Regardless of your...

Sorry this is off topic, but Janice's books are bad enough that I just have to add my $0.02. I personally think these are the two worst books on the subject. For instance, "how do you add a user?"...

I've heard really good things about the "exam cram" for solaris 9. I'm thinking of getting it to help me prep for the tests. I've seen it online for as low as ~20.USD

I recently took a week long...

You're probably seeing the results of this new automated ssh login tool that is discussed at length here:

Sorry I relied too much on your title and assumed it was a single file.

Try playing with this:
for fl in *.php; do
mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/FINDSTRING/REPLACESTRING/g' $fl.old > $fl
#rm -f...

in vi:

esc. to cmd mode, then enter

:%s/CTRL+V CTRL+M//g

Note I left a space betw. the 2 CTRL sequences for readability, you shouldn't have any spaces.

I agree with s93366 that you should try to get something slightly faster if you can, though the one you're considering will run Sol9, which meets your objectives. It just won't be very much fun to...

Can you post the command you're running to rsync these files? (And I'm assuming you're using rsync on FreeBSD and not one on Cygwin on Windows or something, but if I'm wrong post that too). I...

Or you could spend $20. and some change and get this book:

The easiest way for you would be to do:
/stand sysinstall as root. Use the menu to configure networking.

Try reading the handbook, FreeBSD is a simple system to work with and it's very well...

Israel,

Tell us how you configured X to begin with. Did you follow the "handbook" on freebsd.org? There they tell you to use XFree86 --configure as root and to follow the instructions on the...

Which DHCP server is it? Is it ISC's dhcpd? If so there should be a dhcpd.conf file somewhere, depending on your distro, with configurable parameters in there that you can change. And I think...

That's b/c you didn't really change your shell (because your local sysadmin wouldn't let you). So you're really running a virtual bash inside ksh (someone will correct me if that's not the correct...
