If your sysadmin has set things up like this for all users on your system, in my not so humble opinion, he or she should be fired. If you did this to yourself in one of your shell initialization files, you need to be very aware that lots of commands that work for everyone else will fail due to this unexpected behavior.
If you issue the command:
and then try the command I suggested earlier (with some adjustments for the age of a Solaris Release 9 system and the removal of the timestamp):
That should work on the HP/UX system. Change the awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk on the Solaris 9 system.
The tail -number is no longer listed in the standards, but is still accepted as a synonym for the today's standard's tail -nnumber preferred form on HP/UX and more recent Solaris releases.
All of this assumes that you're using ksh or bash on your Solaris system. The pure Bourne shell installed in /bin/sh on Solaris systems won't understand the $(command) form of command substitution.
@Don shouldn't tail -6 be taken out? I think it was only used in post #1 to produce the listing, no?
I picked up the tail -6 from BitterBits' post #1. If the intent is to process all files, neither tail nor ls are needed, just:
on HP/UX systems or:
on Solaris systems.

Here's a regex substitution operation that has stumped me with sed:
How do you convert lines like this:

third.key ?{xa.k}
to:
first.key ?{x_y_z}

It can be fullfil by AWK and perl, but my desire is using SED to realize it.
So here means we treat TB as a whole part, which means 's/TB*/T/'... (4 Replies)

Hi, there are some servers here at work which issue a Safeword challenge after I login. Can anyone tell me exactly how the challenge/response system works? In particular, how are the valid keys decided? (2 Replies)
Okay - I've been searching near and far for the answer to this seemly simple question..... how do I find the X25 address for a server. Is there some sort of dump or ping or even a config which would tell me the address.
I can find nothing on the web and my colleagues can't help either. (1 Reply)
