I have few AIX 5.3 boxes where following is the issue.

I have a variable whose value is a very huge string ...(5000+ characters)

Code: CMD_ARGS="/global/site/vendor/WAS/WebSphere6/AppServer/java/bin/java -Dcom.ibm.ws.client.installedConnectors=/global/site/vendor/WAS/WebSphere6/AppServer/profiles/dmgr/installedConnectors -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL......................................................................................:/global/site/vendor/WAS/WebSphere6/AppServer/lib/j2ee.jar com.ncode.DMIServer.DMIMain" Now i want to capture everything except $1 i.e in above example... "-Dcom" onwards everything....

How do i do this ?

Hi,

I have the following situation:

Param1Values = AAAA,BBBB

Param1=$(echo $Param1Values| tr "," "\n")
for x in $Param1
do
db2 select X from Y where Z IN ('$x')
done

Obviously the above will perform the select 'x' amount of times.

Is there a way in which i can concatanate the results of the loop into one string, so i can perform the select statement once?

So currently i will have:

db2 select X from Y where Z IN ('AAAA')
db2 select X from Y where Z IN ('BBBB')

Is there a way in which manipulating the above will result in:

db2 select X from Y where Z IN ('AAAA','BBBB')

NOTE: Param1Values will not have a set amount of values i.e. it wont always be 2 parameters, it can be different everytime.

Cheers

Hi,

I'm looking a bit of advice on a job offer I've been made.

I'm currently a Microsoft Windows Administrator, with good experience in this and also in Novell.

I've just been offered a job to re-train as a UNIX Administrator.

I'm not sure whether to take it or not. It's more salary, and I was thinking if I had Windows, Novell and UNIX skills I would be very employable.

I'm just concerned that I make the correct choice, i.e. is UNIX more specialised, and would this be a big career change i.e. how different would the career path of a Windows Systems Admin be to that of a UNIX Systems Admin?

Anyone any advice?

Thanks for reading.

I'm trying to take the output of an environment that has multiple strings

Thank you

Hi All,

I am trying to use a sed command in a shell script in order to delete some lines in a file and I got the following error message.
I don't understand why it is not working 'cause I have tried with simple quotes, then with double-quotes, and it is not working.

sed: -e expression #1, char 4: Unterminated address regex

Here below is the code I used in my shell script:

1- First I read a Exclusion file where I retrieve in each line a Pattern
2- Then I use this pattern in sed cmd to delete the corresponding line and put the result in another file
Code: buildGrep()
{
  nbl=`cat $exclusionFile | wc -l`
  i=1
  exclusion=`cat $exclusionFile | tail -${i} | head -1`
  exclusions="sed -e /${exclusion}/d"
  while [ $i -lt $((nbl+1)) ];
  do
        exclusions="${exclusions} -e '/${exclusion}/d'"
        i=`expr $i + 1`
        exclusion=`cat $exclusionFile | tail -${i} | head -1`
  done
  FinalExclusion=`${exclusions} <${TemporaryFile} >${aFiltered_monerrFile}`
}
aDate=`date '+%y.%m.%d_%H.%M.%S'`
aFiltered_monerrFile=Filtered_File.txt
TemporaryFile=TempFile$aDate.txt
ssh xxxx@xxxxx fgrep "2010\/03\/10" xxxxxxxxxxxxx/OriginalFile > $TemporaryFile
exclusionFile=xxxxx.dat
buildGrep Have somebody any idea ?

Thank you in advance,
Alpha

This command prints out username/users in /etc/passwd:
Code: cut -d ':' -f '1,5' /etc/passwd | sort I wonder if I also, after above commands output, can get an output that lists number of users in the group? I need to use uniq to get rid of duplicates.
I´ve tried this, but cant get it right, can anyone help please?

Hi everyone

I've just purchased a Sun T5120 server with 2 internal disks. I've configured hardware RAID (mirror) and as a result the device tree in Solaris only contains 1 hard drive.

My question is, how would I know when one of the drives become faulty?

Thanks

Hi All,

I am generating a ~ delimited file from oracle table and then transfer it to another server through scp.

Code:
if [ -f $COM_DIR/ABC.txt ]
then
 scp $COM_DIR/ABC.txt unix.nam.nsroot.net:/home/magna/dum/ABC.txt
else
 echo "File does not exist, please check" >>$LOG
fi The script generates the file, but not able to deliver it to another server. To check what is the problem with scp command, i have tried to redirect the output to the LOG file like...

Code:
if [ -f $COM_DIR/ABC.txt ]
then
 scp $COM_DIR/ABC.txt unix.nam.nsroot.net:/home/magna/dum/ABC.txt >> $LOG
else
 echo "File does not exist, please check" >>$LOG
fi but still it is not working.

While i executed only the scp command on command prompt, it works. Can someone tell me what could be a problem?

Would it surprise you to find out that it turns out that apparently one of the jurors might be related to one of SCO's prior corporate officers? At any rate they have the same last name, and Salt Lake City is a big place, so perhaps not. Novell noticed the similarity in names, according to our reporter today, MSS2, only after jury selection was over.
MSS2 has just sent me his first report of day 2 of the jury trial in SCO v. Novell, with more to come. Today was opening arguments by both sides. And we have lots more goodies for you from two eyewitnesses, MSS2 and Tilendor. We begin with SCO's opening argument by Stuart Singer. All I can say after reading it is maybe you needed to be there. Or SCO must be a slow learner or Mr. Singer never reads Groklaw, or ... well, see what you think.

I know we are all riveted on Utah today, but take a moment, please, because this is important. Jonathan Schwartz, formerly CEO of Sun, has a personal blog, What I Couldn't Say ..., where he has begun to tell us what he couldn't tell us before about events during his tenure there. He has a interesting tale to tell about Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer asking Sun to pay patent royalties to Microsoft on ... OpenOffice.

You may or may not be aware of the mass of "Hitler rant" videos on YouTube.  These take a clip (from the movie "Downfall") and subtitle it with a rant from Hitler about everything from college football to the iPhone to Facebook accounts to ... well, anything at all.

This one is about cloud computing and security, and makes a few cute points about security in general.

I don't undestand how to combine 4 nics in order to use DM Multipath. Do I have to install each nic with its IP address? If yes, do I need a group IP address? This concept is not clear for me.

The connection beetwen the server (DELL Poweredge T710) and the SAN through iscsi works well, I used multipath but only one nic is configured with its IP address. But the server has 4 nics and I would combine them with multipath!

the devices are:
SAN DELL equallogic (3 nics)
DELL Poweredge T710 (4 nics)
2 switch 5424

I want to move the files in a dir to different dirs based on their file names.

Ex: i have 4 different files with name -
CTS_NONE_10476031_MRL_PFT20081215a.txt
CTS_NONE_10633009_MRL_PFT20091020a.txt
CTS_NONE_10345673_MRL_PFT20081215a.txt
CTS_NONE_10872456_MRL_PFT20091020a.txt

and the 1st file should go to the dir 'OLD_10476031', 2nd file into dir 'OLD_10633009' , 3rd into dir OLD_10345673 and so on.

tried differnt ways in ksh script but none are working correctly

I have a HP-UX machine and using KSH.

Thanks in advance for help.

wat is the file name that reveals information that what ports are open in system..

I wanted to see if there is any duplicate of a specific command in the command search path. The following code will list all copies of "openssl" in the command search path.

Code: find `printenv PATH | sed "s/:/ /g"`  -maxdepth 1  -name openssl However, the above code would fail if the search path contains any directory whose name contains a space such as "my commands". The main reason for the failure is that a space is the delimiter in the list of directories for the "find" command.

The following workaround changes the delimiter from a space to a colon by modifying the global variable IFS.
Code: IFS=":"; find `printenv PATH`  -maxdepth 1  -name openssl; IFS=$' \t\n'; However, I do not want to modify global variables. Can anyone suggest me any better methods? The method must work even if a directory name contains a space.

Thanks in advance.
