Does anyone know how to test if an ethernet interface is alive, or accepting connections? Here is the scenario - I have rsc and sc console interfaces on some Suns. There are some sporadic vulnerability scans that send them out to lunch when they run the scans. I have to login to the host and reset the console cards with the software installed on the host, but if the host gets honked up it is the wrong time to find out if my console connection isn't working.
So, I've been thinking about a script that could just check to make sure all of my consoles are alive and if not, I can reset them before something happens. Like maybe
for $IP
do
$some_way_to_check_consoles
done
This would be cool to see, either sh, csh, ksh, whatever!

Hi,
I am new in this forum and I am glad to be a part of it. I have a problem that has two parts:
1/ extract just the timestamp from a filename: for example, I have a file called 'sales20080226144525.txt' and I want to extract just the '20080226144525' part out of it.
2/ Now, take that... (5 Replies)

I am not a native English speaker. I wanna improve my English. But I am kind of lazy, so I decide to pratice my English by reading English novel. I'd like read books about magic or superman and so on. How can I get that kind of books from Internet? I'll really appreciate it!! (4 Replies)

VCONSOLE.CONF(5) vconsole.conf VCONSOLE.CONF(5)NAME
vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vconsole.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.
The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.
Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.
Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
as fallback.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard. KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.
FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map. FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.
EXAMPLE
Example 1. German keyboard and console
/etc/vconsole.conf:
KEYMAP=de-latin1
FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
