I;m so sorry but im looking inside of each file. not just the file name, but your codes has given me some idea. Thanks a lot and hope you could help me more.

Hi RudiC,
i am open for other codes and scripts.
lately this is my script.
then yyou are asking for the cfg. i dont know how to insert image because it is asking for the url. im sorry.. but my /home/dave/cfg contains
dirBANANA.cfg
dirORANGE.cfg
dirAPPLE.Cfg
which contains the directories where the script will grep for "BANANA" "ORANGE" and "APPLE" word.
home/dave/cfg also contains
grepBANANA.cfg
grepORANGE.cfg
grepAPPLE.cfg
which contains the word "BANANA" or "ORANGE" or "APPLE" itself,
So you corrected the most obvious errors in your script, which is good. You are "open for other codes and scripts", which is good, too. Did you consider the "loop advice"?
We still don't know what your config files' contents look like. And, if your grep*.cfg files contain the keywords, why are you looking for string constants in your script? What is for c in $ftrord_file, by the way?
I've shown you a very simplistic example of how one could (partly, admittedly) approach your request, given you're free in structuring the config files. But even with another configuration setup, there's many, simple ways to achieve what you need.
but i forgot to ask what is the function of this
is supposed to be
sorry that's my bad
yes. even my friends tell me that my requirements are so easy but im so sorry. i am just a super duper beginner in unix. and i have this script
but i cant complete this simple one bacuase lack of knowledge in loop commands if commands else commands. and i never continued this script becuase as i have said earlier i have 7 directories. so if i use this script it would be a long .sh file then. so my boss told me that you can create cfg files for your directories but i never really understood what he means. im so sorry
So, where do we start? Being an electronics engineer, is the assumption correct that you know what a specification is? Loosely phrased, the description of a target (contents, shape, structure, timing) and the collection of basic data (setup, sample input, ...) to start from, constraints and/or exceptions and/or boundary conditions, tools available (or forbidden), sometimes accompanied by ideas or even rules/instructions on how to get there.
Still online? Let's start with
The target: Paraphrased from your post#1: A list of directories with the information "contains valid/invalid files". Please refine to taste.
The basics: A number of subdirectories in your home directory (definition varies in above posts) with files to be searched for keywords. Please be very aware that we don't know anything about your computer/(file-) system/directory structure/anything. So some samples might help!
Additional info needed:
- What flexibiltiy is required?
- Do the subdirs change a lot?
- Are there more subdirs?
- - How to define the interesting ones?
- - How to exclude the others?
- - Use a "white list" (= config file)?
- Do the keywords change?
- - How to provide?
- - Are there more than one keyword per subdir?
- config files to be used?
- - one? many?
- - structure of the config file(s)
- - up to the service provider?
Constraints/exceptions/boundary conditions:
- not (yet) known
The tools: available *nix commands/versions (your Solaris have may some restrictions that other OS don't have)
- pure shell (which do you use?)
- text processing commands (sed, awk, perl, ...)
- up to the service provider?
I'll stop here with this non-exhaustive list. Feel free to complete and answer.
You now may say: "What an immense effort for a minor task like a mere 'file list for 7 directories' ". I'd request you to ponder the overall time it took for the two of us to type posts #1 to #10 compared to you making up your mind and put together a small set of basic data, stringent rules, and a precise, distinct result, with which a satisfactory solution would have been proposed within hours if not minutes.
I'd propose you take a step back and try to rephrase your request considering at least part of above...
im so sorry for all the confusion and all my mistakes regarding my past posts. i hope you understand that im a beginner. but i am willing to learn and i am studying and learning these things.
target: a "dummyevents.log" that contains the directories that has "invalid files" in it.
flexibility: any
subdirs/dirs: only 7 directories to be checked
keywords does not change
1 word to be grep per directory
im so sorry regarding config files, we can use it or not depending on the script. the use of cfg file is a suggestion only to make my script short and simple
and im so sorry icant answer all you questions and i dont know the versions or model of my unix but you are correct i have some restrictions in commands
i am using UNIX solaris shell script when i perform showrev -a
OpenWindows version:
X11 Version 6.4.1 14 January 2008
Rephrased request: i have 7 directories, each directory as dafault files, those default files have 1 word in common in it.
home/dave/banana - default files has "BANANA" word in it
home/dave/orange - default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/orange1- default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/orange2- default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/apple - default files has "APPLE" word in it
home/dave/apple1 - default files has "APPLE" word in it
home/dave/apple2 - default files has "APPLE" word in it
i want a script which is as much as possible a short and a simple one,
for example there is a file in home/dave/banana without a "BANANA" word in it. so the script would reverse grep and will detect the files or files without "BANANA" in it then put a "dummyevent.log" in home/dave which when you view that "dumymevent.log" you will see the directory home/dave/banana.
then after that the script will go to home/dave/orange then reveser grep and detect the files without "ORANGE" in it then add home/dave/orange directory in the "dummyevents.log" located at home/dave.
and so on and so forth the remaining directories. but at the same time if the scriprt does not detect any invalid files (which means the all the files in the directory contains the common word) the sciprt will results also a "dummyevents.log" in home/dave which when you view it, it contains only "There is no invalid files in the given directories."
i hope you udnestand.. i cant send you a private message becuase sending a pm requires a minimum of 10 posts. Thanks.

Hi,
Want to know, is there any way to restrict a Solaris user to Single Login. Means a particular user can login once and if he or someone else tries to login with his ID then a message displayed "user already logged in" and denies his attempt.
