<br>Hmmm, I used to run ftp on vaxen....<br><br>But I would guess that the program you are looking for is kermit. It provides much the same functionality as an ftp server, but runs a single session, rather than being a general daemon.

You can simplify AndyBo's program a bit at the expense of debuggability:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>while (&lt;INPUT&gt;) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;push(@File_Array, $_);<br>}<br></font><br>collapses to<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>@File_Array = &lt;INPUT&gt;;<br></font><br>I use this...

HP-UX is one of the world's leading flavors of unix. Unlike some flavors of unix (for example, aix) HP-UX generally uses standard commands for system maintenance, so general unix training is useful to sysadmins on an HP-UX system. The advantage to unix over other operating systems is that unix...

<br>If I understand correctly you are running an external command &quot;xcom62 -cf&quot; in your perl program. You need to capture the output from this command, and put it in a variable.<br><br>The trick is to use backtics, like in shell scripting. If you want everything in one string then...

<br>Sure, we do it all the time. Just add an echo line to the appropriate rc file.<br>

Well, I started at <A HREF="http://www.sun.com" TARGET="_new">http://www.sun.com</A>, and browsed a bit until I found a list of OS's they sell currently. It looks like Solaris 8 is the highest version now in production.

Mike,<br><br>You are on the right track. Scalar vs array context is everything in this instance. When localtime() is feeding its output to an array it sends a list of numbers. One of those numbers is the number of years since 1900. (Thus the current year is &quot;$timeVars[5] + 1900&quot;.) When...

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. Be handy if it were built in, but I guess I'll make a module similar to what you wrote. Thanks.

<br> Is there a one line way to slurp a file into an array?<br> <br> Instead of <br> open(FILE, &quot;file&quot;) ¦¦ warn &quot;couldn't open file&quot;;<br> @array = &lt;FILE&gt;;<br> close(FILE);<br> <br> I would like to <br> @array = &lt;&quot;file&quot;&gt;;<br> <br> I know, it's just a...

<br> In ksh you _can_ use exec to open a new file for output, but you don't have to. I suspect that bash is similar. The syntax you used starts a new process, and exits the old one so it can never loop. Try again without the exec.<br> <br> somecommand &gt;somefile 2&gt;&1 # put stdout and stderr...

lp is just a print spooler. Not a print queue.<br> <br> There are several commercial products that provide genuine print queues, instead of just print spoolers for unix. I evaluated lpplus <A HREF="http://www.plustechnologies.com" TARGET="_new">http://www.plustechnologies.com</A> and quite...

<br> I see people bypass this most often by providing 3 fields on the form, something like &quot;( ___ ) ___ - ____&quot; that way no parsing is required. If you really want to just use one field you might try<br> /(\d{3,3})\D*(\d{3,3})\D*(\d{4,4})/<br> <br> Have fun!<br> Kai.<br>
