Question Empty buffer when is full
Hello everyone!

This is the situation:

I execute this command from a bash script:

Code:
telnet 10.99.246.14 6001 >> output.txt

The question is:
How I do to execute this command and empty the buffer when is full?
The script is always running.

Thanks a lot!

What do you mean by buffer?

If by buffer you mean file, you could:

Code:
( telnet 10.99.246.14 6001 | split -a 4 -d -l 5000 - output. )

This will produce output.0000, output.0001, etc. split apart every 5000 lines. You can delete the old files and it will continue making new ones.

Actually, it can be far simpler. 'echo > output.txt' will clear it out.

I was referring to the console buffer...but with your help my problem is resolved.
Many thanks!

100% Inode full with only 67% FS full.

AIX Version 6.1 and 7.1. I understand that when the OS initially creates the FS and inodes, its pretty strict, but not always tuned to a 1:1 ratio. I see the same thing when adding a whole disk LV to a separate device. It seems that when we expand a filesystem the inodes don't get tuned... (5 Replies)
