With the concept of tail -f, only the script was provided, where you have the list updated in the file 'update' every 'n' seconds maintained in the for loop, if you want to refresh the list as soon as possible, decrement the sleep time.

Though I had not done extensive testing for the posted script. I just verified whether the update file is getting refreshed and it worked for me.

Am sure the required difference would be necessarily be captured.

Please post us with what is needed and whats happening! Smilie

Copying files realtime

I have a primary server where certain files are created real time. These files have varying file sizes. I want to FTP or copy them over to a different server server as soon a file gets created. I have to ensure that only full file is copied. The receiving end process expects a FULL file. I am ok... (3 Replies)

log1p

LOG(3)							   BSD Library Functions Manual 						    LOG(3)

NAME

     log, log2, log10, log1p, -- logarithm functions

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     log(double x);

     double
     log2(double x);

     double
     log10(double x);

     double
     log1p(double x);

DESCRIPTION

     The log() function computes the value of the natural logarithm of argument x.

     The log2() function computes the value of the logarithm of argument x to base 2.

     The log10() function computes the value of the logarithm of argument x to base 10.

     The log1p() function computes the value of log(1+x) accurately even for very small values of x.

SPECIAL VALUES

     log(+-0) , log2(+-0) , and log10(+-0) return -infinity and raise the "divide-by-zero" floating-point exception.

     log(1) , log2(1) , and log10(1) return +0.

     log(x) , log2(x) , and log10(x) return a NaN and raise the "invalid" floating-point exception for x < 0.

     log(+infinity) , log2(+infinity) , and log10(+infinity) return +infinity.

     log1p(+-0) returns +-0.

     log1p(-1) returns -infinity and raises the "divide-by-zero" floating-point exception.

     log1p(x) returns a NaN and raises the "invalid" floating-point exception for x < -1.

     log1p(+infinity) returns +infinity.

SEE ALSO

     math(3), exp(3), exp2(3), expm1(3), pow(3), infnan(3)

STANDARDS

     The log() , log2() , log10() , and log1p() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E).
