Yeah but if it does happen to crash the process(es) dumping to the capture files, worst case scenario - it could result in a nationwide temporary SMS outage costing my company millions (and I can...

Yes this is what I thought. The problem is that the logging process is basically a black box as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if it holds a file descriptor, or just keeps atomically...

Thanks for your help -
That's a fair enough alternative approach but wouldn't there be a potential problem if I renamed the capture file while it was being written to by another process? Would the...

Just a quick question: How does gzip behave under linux if it's source is a file that is currently being written to by a different process? Basically, in my below code I want to make sure that there...

Thanks!

Hi all,

I need to run a bunch of commands seperated by ; but then count the total lines of output. Pipes and redirection don't seem to be helping me. Anyone know how I can do this properly:

mmm good points there, but if you don't retire UID's how do you lock out the accounts when a contractor leaves (i.e The best way to do that?)? Also, unfortunately I generally can't follow your...

Well uname -a says:
Linux fxxx 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:42:39 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

You may be right about the upper limit, I read that it is 999 but I've just found:...

Hi all,

This is more of a question than a request, I am starting to encounter maintenance hassles with /etc/passwd due to ongoing account removals/adds. The UID's are approaching 999 which I...

OK, but in your code, which part dictates it to insert within the
<tomcat-users>

</tomcat-users>

I am also looking to improve upon this to make a script that will allow me to...

Excellent, I understand all of this code, thanks a plenty!

Hi all,

I'm sure someone out there has an 'easy' way to insert a new user into a Tomcat config file without using vi or otherwise editing the file. For the uninitiated, here is the layout of the...

Hm, interesting. That could be how it came to be, I am working on some pretty sensitive equipment - stuff this box up and 80% of Australians can't send/recv SMS! :rolleyes:

Well, I'm pretty sure...

sweet, that did the trick. Although I still had issues viewing the file because of the - inside the name, so I just renamed it again to new.dat using your syntax above, and now tail doesn't complain....

Hi all,

So I have found a file literally called "-X" in a folder, that is preventing me from using any meaningful commands in that folder because, as I understand it, at command runtime it will...

Thanks all, I'll try expect/autoexpect and see what I can come up with. Sorry for being pushy... it's a side effect of my stupidity.

oh, oops. Actually I more stomped on it since I also sent a PM to someone in-the-know...

The host script which needs to use this snippet does most of its work with ssh, but one particular remote...

Bump! Hardly anyone has even read this... wrong forum?

This is probably a simple one for the wise.

I have just started using a coprocess (first time) in order to facilitate telnet'ing from inside a shell script. It's working, but when I run a remote...
