grep help with pkginfo
im looking for a way to eliminate the packages from SUN when i do a pkginfo. thought this would work, but no luck.

Code:
 
pkginfo | grep [^SUNW]

what am i doing wrong?
Thanks

You are filtering lines containing a single letter S or U or N or W.

What you need is
Code:
pkginfo | grep -v " SUNW"

or - more precise
Code:
pkginfo | nawk '$2 !~ /^SUNW.*/ { print }'

because the package name is not at the beginning of each line but in the second column.

format and pkginfo -l question

I have a Solaris 2.6 box flagging an "Error block: 308918" in the messages file when I execute a pkginfo -l. pkginfo with no flags returns no errors. I think I need to use format to mark this block and then restore the database used by pkginfo for backup. Any advice/input welcome. Thanks (4 Replies)
