A simple reading of the "date" manpage tells you this:

Today is 20160901, so

$ date +%A -d 20160901
Thursday
Invalid?
$ date +%A -d 20160431
date: invalid date `20160431'

Getting a new (for me) lappy, and I was wondering about the experiences of linux users here (direct me to a different forum if necessary, please. RTFMs also welcome) w/r/t linux and win...

You could always delete the history file or munge the instance of the password to something else (sed is your friend)

This is in no way the most efficient of methods, but this should get you started. Since ls always sorts the fname:
fname=`ls FILE* | head -1`
gets you the earliest of the FILE filenames. If you...

Thank you Don!

The shell fanatic is back. Somebody should time these examples (and maybe one using perl, also):$ cat foodata
X a_2 a_3 s_4 t_6
b 0 0.9 0.004 0
c 0 0 1 0
d 0 0.98 0 0
e 0.0023 0.96 0 0.0034

What, at the [[ $file != point do you intend $file to contain?

How about uuencoding and rot13ing the sensitive data?

What output are you getting from this. What output do you WANT but are not getting?

You're going to have to be more specific.
What's a "column" in this context? Is there a language requirement? How about an example input and output?

Is this a homework problem? If so, see...

or, if you prefer perl:

$ perl -e '{while (<>) {chomp;print;print " ".(join ("_",(split "_to_",(split " ",$_)[1])));print "\n"}}' <input.txt
zoneobjectrename "AAA_to_BBB" "AAA_BBB"...

No, you don't need your own etc directory, you should again get rid of it: /etc is a top-system-level directory where control files are kept, like hosts (the other machines on your network that your...

You're not copying the /etc/motd file, because you do not have one. That is now clear. I recommend you

$ cd
$ rm -rf ~/etc ~/motd # NOT /etc!

create an /etc/motd file (or get someone to do...

You didn't do the "ls -l /etc/motd" to show me it's there. You DO have an empty /motd, but it's in the wrong place, ie: NOT in /etc

I'd like to see the results of a pwd when you're in the test directory.
I'm confused by your prompts. Please issue the following commands:
$ ls -l /etc/motd
$ cd ~
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ cp...

A little googling ("identd on solaris 11") indicates it's been an unresolved issue for over two years. Guess Oracle isn't interested. You may have to build a linux box and run one of the many...

Seeing some error messages would be a help, but:


IS there an /etc/motd file to copy?
Are you leaving a blank space between /etc/motd and the dot?

$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ cp /etc/motd...

Put an extra blank line following the "Content-type: text/html"

Oh, and why do you need to uuencode a .csv file?

You say you don't have
date -d
Do you have the date command without the -d option? If you do, something like

$ date "+%Y"
2015
$
does the trick on my system. "man date" and search for...

In /etc/sudoers, you should be able to find a line or lines that look like

try using $ lsof | grep /siebel/sfs/tmp/dumpto see what other process may be holding files open in that directory

Confused about ending commas. Some lines end in commas and others don't: this differs between file1 and file2. Are they actually that different or are these typos?

Are there constraints on the...

Just an obnoxious question: are you forced to use this obsolete version of RH? My first remark would be, unfortunately, to upgrade the install so you have access to the latest versions of the...
