Code:
ant:/home/vbe $ uname -a
HP-UX ant B.11.11 U 9000/800 168921511 unlimited-user license
ant:/home/vbe $ ll -tr  i*.txt| awk '{print $6, $7, $8, $9}'| while read titi tata toto; do cat $toto; done
...
o - bottom line - only /etc/inetd.conf changes require inetd -c. inetd.sec changes are real-time.
Good catch Darrell.

I get this one:

Code:
messi > ll -tr | awk '{getline word < $9; close($9); print $6, $7, $8, $9, word}'
awk: A print or getline function must have a file name.
 The input line number is 1.
 The source line number is 1.

vbe,

I don't understand the while part! what you ahve posted is just an example? or i should do the same? I mean it's just a sample? right?

Code:
ant:/home/vbe $ ll|wc -l
1079
ant:/home/vbe $ ll *.txt|wc -l
146

So I'm not trying with your code...

The while part is looping from the result of your ls+awk output as line be line read of 4 variables titi tata toto, toto beeing the previously $9..., do cat etc... done

Forgot...
Code:
ll -tr  | awk '{print $6, $7, $8, $9}'| while read tete titi tata toto; do cat $toto; done

is what you ca try
