Put two lines into one from file
Hello, I have a script that generates the following file named /tmp/rfkill:

Code:
rf55 pts/13 Jul 10 06:38 (10.72.11.44) 
 15782 pts/13  5:07 b                  
rf56 pts/15 Jul 10 06:53 (10.72.11.9)  
 18552 pts/15  0:28 b                  
rf55 pts/39 Jul 10 09:12 (10.72.11.44) 
 19354 pts/39  0:04 b                  
rf56 pts/55 Jul 10 08:36 (10.72.11.9)  
 35368 pts/55  0:47 b                  
rf17 pts/56 Jul 10 08:36 (10.72.11.22) 
 22668 pts/56  0:00 b                  
rf17 pts/59 Jul 10 08:43 (10.72.11.22) 
 27718 pts/59  0:00 b

when I do
Code:
cat /tmp/rfkill | awk '{print$1,$3,$6}'

I get
Code:
rf55 Jul (10.72.11.44)
15782 5:07            
rf56 Jul (10.72.11.9) 
18552 0:28            
rf55 Jul (10.72.11.44)
19354 0:04            
rf56 Jul (10.72.11.9) 
35368 0:47            
rf17 Jul (10.72.11.22)
22668 0:00            
rf17 Jul (10.72.11.22)
27718 0:00

Is there a way to get the PID and idle time to display on the same line as the name, time, and IP? The idea is to be able to sort first by IP and then by idle time so I can kill the oldest duplicate sessions of particular users.
ThanksSmilie

Code:
sed 'N;s/\n //' /tmp/rfkill

Cool thanks. How would it be possible to sort that output by IP address but also by idle time? So it would show first grouped by IP, then within that sorted by idle time?

Like this?

Code:
sed 'N;s/\n //' /tmp/rfkill|sort -k6,6 -k9,9n
