Forgot to mention, this is RHEL 5.5 (64-bit). 24GB of physical memory.

Yes I agree the server was extremely slow because of constant swapping which I figured by 0 free swap space.

To be honest...

I had a situation where the server was basically unresponsive and apparently it was out of memory. I ran top and free commands and got the following outputs. I figured it was out of memory because...

I have an RHEL 5 server with 2 Broadcom on-board NICs and 2 quad-port Intel NICs. After I installed the OS, the Intel NICs became eth0-7, and the onboards are eth8 and eth9. I really need the onboard...

I'm running the following rsync command to sync a directory between the 2 servers:

rsync -az --delete --stats /some_dir/ server_name:/some_dir

I'm getting the following output:

This one works quite well, thanks! I think I understand what this regular expression does, the first is a bit too advanced for me ;)

This isn't working, I'm just getting the file content.

I'm guessing I just need a regular expression to cut out the leading spaces. I came up with this monstrosity, there's gotta be a better way...

I'm trying to use the cut command on the following output to remove the first 2 columns (this is output of "find -ls", if anyone wondering, which for some bizarre reason inserts leading spaces on...

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I finally figured out how the character position filed works.

I'm a bit confused though. I should be starting sorting at position 14 - right?

this works:
...

Sorry for the confusion, what I'm trying to do is to sort the second column disregarding the "IBMULT3580-TD" string. I was hoping sort would just sort it numerically by last 3 digits. I guess it...

no go, "sort -n +1 -3" produces the same result at "sort -nk 2", i.e.

0 IBMULT3580-TD13
10 IBMULT3580-TD115
11 IBMULT3580-TD111
12 IBMULT3580-TD116
13 IBMULT3580-TD12
14...

I have the following output where I need to sort the second column numerically (starting with IBMULT3580-TD10 and ending in IBMULT3580-TD123)

Drv DriveName

I don't know what dev option means, either, but in general, if you want to read up on Veritas File System (which is what you have), go here: Storage Foundation and High Availability 4.1...

I have an even more interesting case of ls disagreeing with du:

[server1-/var/crash]# ls -lh 10.1.1.100-2009-01-05-14:01

Thanks! eval definitely helped, this works:

eval ssh $HOST \"vfiler run $VFILER "$COMMAND"\"

@ bakunin

I tried escaping backslashes inside double quotes as you suggested - still no go....

I'm having a strange problem with escaping double-quotes. I have a script that looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

[snip]

for HOST in `cat $INFILE | grep -v ^#`
do

for VFILER in...

wow - this works very nicely! I would have never thought of counting the fields. Thanks so much for your help! :b:

Thanks... I was originally using "find" and when I realized it wasn't doing me any good I switched to "ls". I forgot I can just use a wild card ;)

The grep situation is a bit tricky. I'm really...

Thanks, this works! Gives me a bit too much info though (I only really want to see parent directories, not subdirectories):

:/]# du -kx / |sort -nr|head -10

I'm trying to come up with a way of finding largest directories in a filesystem (let's say filesystems is running ot of space and I need to find what is consuming all the space). If a directory is a...

Thanks again for the help, it works fine now that I quote the variable inside the script :)

That was it, this was the source of the problem! Thanks for pointing it out! :b:

Nope, still doesn't work... I tried that one as well. It doesn't expand the file list anymore, but then I have the backslash as part of my variable (see below for an example).

I'm not sure it's...

No go... already tried that. * is still expanded into the list of files in current directory. Backslash doesn't work, either.

I'm writing a script that will ssh to a number of hosts and run commands. I'm a bit stumped at the moment as some of the commands that I need to run contain wildcards (i.e. *), and so far I have not...

I have a really strange issue on Solaris 10 running on v490. I'm running Oracle 10g on the box. Everything runs fine and all of a sudden I get a call from a DBA. I check and none of the Oracle...
