trimming out spaces in solaris
friends,
I have a script in solaris 10 SPARC system which is like this

Code:
date '+Time: %m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S'
echo " GDBRR GDLRR  GDBWR GDLWR GDRRR GDRWR  "
sar -b 10 10 |/usr/xpg4/bin/awk  '!/Average/ && !/SunOS/ && !/bread/  {$1="";T=$2;T1=$3;T2=$5;T3=$6;T4=$8;T5=$9}{print(T"\t",
T1"\t",T2"\t",T3"\t",T4"\t",T5"\t" )}; '

The only glitch i am having here is there is a huge space between the headers and the values
as shown like this
Code:
Time: 10/16/09 16:26:34
 GDBRR GDLRR  GDBWR GDLWR GDRRR GDRWR

0        48      0       0       543     0
0        2       0       1       248     0

You could try:

Code:
sar -b 10 10 |/usr/xpg4/bin/awk  '!/Average/ &&!/SunOS/ &&!/bread/ && !/^$/ {$1="";T=$2;T1=$3;T2=$5;T3=$6;T4=$8;T5=$9}{print(T"\t",
T1"\t",T2"\t",T3"\t",T4"\t",T5"\t" )}; '
