    Using ssh to run multiple commands

    You do not need to do the filtering on the remote host. Just do the ps remotly and the rest locally : num=`ssh userName@remoteBox 'ps -ef' | grep userName | grep -i processName | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2 }'` -------------------- Denis

    Counter and # of output lines not equal and should be

    What are the values for @last4months[0..3] and $rpt_month ? Could it be possible that $rpt_month equals one of the last4months ? -------------------- Denis

    deleting data and merging data

    You could try: sed 's/^"//;s/"$//' | awk -F '"?,"?' in the first example given by p5wizard. The sed suppress any " at start or end of line and the -F in awk allowed for optional " before and after the comma. This simple trick would not work if there is any comma or escaped quotes inside the...

    Archiving script

    No need to backquote the ls: you don't want the output of ls, just its exit code (ls returns an error if a file does not exist). Just remove the standard and error outputs and check the return code (it's what if do): if ls *.log >/dev/null 2>&1; then : # Here at least one .log file exists...

    Combining Shell Variables

    Use eval ! The command export has an (unwanted) side effect: it exports the variables. Besides, eval also allows you to get/use the values using constructed variable names: eval echo \$CLIENT${COUNT} -------------------- Denis

    ftp error at '<<'

    ... unless you put a dash '-' just after the '<<'. In this case all TABs (and only TABs) are stripped from the start of the following lines before they are used (either for checking against the 'EndOfHereDocument' string or as input for your command) for arg in "$@" do ftp -n -i -v <<-SCRIPT...

    Help with SED, creating script from file list

    If not for the speed problem you speak of in your other thread thread822-989438 (and I do not know if this is so much un issue), it could be so much simpler with tar. You could directly use the fileList.txt # backup (cd /; tar cf - -T fileLst.txt) | (cd /backuploc; tar xf -) # restore (cd...

    Sorting a Linked List

    Some reflexions about strcmp returning <0, =0, >0 instead of -1, 0, 1. As Salem said: both results are consistent, yes. But looking for positive or negative instead of 1 and -1 is more generic and will be true for all implementations. When in doubt stick to the manual. How many times did I...

    SSH & SFTP accessing VMS Servers

    Yes, and after reading man for ssh and ssh-keygen, you could also read man for ssh-agent and ssh-add. -------------------- Denis
