Thanks! You all get a star!

Great! That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks

Hi, As a first step to tackling this problem, is there anyway to cut a line from the file if it begins with either a "0" a "1" or a "2"? If so I could be well on my way to solving the problem. Cheers

Hi, I have recently enabled performance monitoring on our server which produces a file and e-mails us every day. I'm trying to write a script which will ignore the textual info but take the numerical data and sort it into a csv file, allowing me to import it into excel to produce graphs of data...

Hi, I'm trying to configure NTP on Solaris 8 but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem..... I have managed to sync a Solaris 8 machine with our NT time server by adding the relevent entry into the ntp.conf file but my success seems to stop there. I'm told I'll need an ntp.drift file...

or this.... for HELD_FILE in `ls -1 |egrep chm.tmp` do etc................ Cheers

Thanks Dickie Bird! Do you think that adding this line to the top of the "for" loop (replacing the one that's there already) would do enough without me needing any of the syntax in my first post? for HELD_FILE in `ls -1 |grep -v tmp$` do etc.................... By the looks of it I...

Hi All, In update to my own problem........ The above script is only a very small section of a much larger one. I think I may have found the solution myself. If I modify this "for" loop to prevent the script from acting on "field 2" and make it act on ".chm&quot...

Hi All, I'm looking for a solution to the following problem..... 1) Files are transferred to a directory (/dir_path/import) from another server using FTP. 2)Once the FTP process is complete the script renames the file from "*.chm.tmp" to ".chm" - In other word the...

Thanks to you too Ygor!

Fantastic! Thanks KenCunningham!

Hi, I need to write a script that will prompt the user, through a menu, to move all files which match a particular search string (*.abc*) within a directory to a target directory. I need the user to be prompted for every file, not just files which already exist in the target directory (mv -i...

Hi, Has anybody installed the SMC agent onto Solaris 2.7 and experienced performance problems soon after? I've installed it on Solaris 2.6 and 8 and everything works fine. The software kicks off an instance of "cfgadm" which causes the server to perform like a one legged asthmatic...

Thanks again naggiman! That's what it was. I didn't realise I had to have an entry in the dfstab for it to work!

Hi, My dfstab file contains nothing. It's just the standard file that comes with the install. I create the share from the commands line. When I type "share" it looks like this; - /cdrom/sol_8_202_sparc_2 ro "" It's the Solaris 8 software 2 of 2 cd and I'm trying to...
