thanks for the reply.

Don't have to be before the main function, the main function can get called with either the file or passed variables.

The problem I had with...

All,

I wrote the following section of code (which logically in PHP would of worked):

tmpPATH=${1}
tmpTAG=${2}

if [ "${tmpPATH}" == "" -a "${tmpPATH}" == "" ]

@methyl this is a perf test suite of scripts and this "test" is to simulate Teradata, and network performance to the ETL box.

So currently have a script to run X predefined queries for Y minutes....

I can't, the "td" command connects to the database and returns the rows. Initially I had:

Have a script where I need to wait for a process to run, but from that process I want to capture the row count.

My issue is I want an NFS share where I can write to the directory, but not list any of the files in there. (doesn't matter if someone knows the name can open the file).

Thanks for the replies, think both would work if I was searching in the directory above. The issue is its a linked directory and I am searching lower down the path i.e:

The original command is:


find ${DATAENV}/raw/archive/storage -mtime +4 -type fd


The ${DATAENV}/raw is the linked area. so find can't tell that the levels preceeding are links.

I tried...

Have a random question:

In simple terms I have a find command on a dir:

/path/user/data/

/path/user is a link to:

/tmp/storage/


The find command outputs the files it finds as:

Is there a MagicISO equivalent for OSX?

I have had a little issue with one of my disks, the usb cacble was pulled out and one of the external drives on it would no longer mount. I used First Aid and it verified and repaired both OK /...

this should enable you to find the PID and allow you to killl / stop the script.

ps -ef | grep "scriptname"

in this instance you could use:

printf "%8.1f \n" $var | sed 's/...\./,&/g'

But for something with more than 5 characters or less than 4 this wouldn't work.

sorted!

eval `awk < file ' { print "export TESTVAR=" $1 } '`

forgot about eval!!!

andryk, I could write the awk output to a temp file and then execute this generate script, but I was trying to avoid the use of temporary files if possible.

I have a file which I am processing using awk to spit out the following:

export CLIENT=1 ; export USER=1 ; export METABASE=1 ; export TASK=1 ; export TOTAL=3

What i want to do now is execute...

matrixmadhan - this will print the lonest line rather than the longest word though won't it?

Recursion is allowed (where i work) at a depth of 9 iterations. Basically what your script is doing is:

run main,

thanks for the quick replies,

we don't have the "grep -o" option, the answer which works best for my needs is:

sed -n -e "s/.*\(needle\).*/\1/p" haystack

Again thanks for all the replies,

Is there a way for grep to output only the found string and not the whole line?
