If you want to process files in a single directory (ie no sub directories) a simple ls will do:- ls myfiles*.dat | cat >> newfile HTH

egrep $1\|$2 $my_file HTH

I've just tried a few things... the #!/usr... line is being ignored, probably because init is invoking your script. Probably the same reason why $SHELL is not set. Change your S?? startup script to run the korn shell script.

run this via root cron:- #!/usr/bin/ksh UserName=$1 who |grep "^${UserName} " > /dev/null 2>&1 && { while : do sleep 60 who |grep "^${UserName} " > /dev/null 2>&1 || { passwd -l...

oops didn't notice the #!/usr/bin/ksh line ksh should run this script ok A potential source of the "set" error could be the contents of pfile.

set -A not available in Bourne shell I replied to your post on Unix scripting forum. It would be helpfull if you didn't cross post.

These scripts are run by root. root's shell is usually /sbin/sh (Bourne) You can run a Korn shell script during startup if you put the #!/bin/ksh line at the start of the script. Make sure that /usr is mounted before you run a Korn shell script. /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin.

this function checks if $1 is an integer Not sure if it works in bash isnum() { case ${1} in +([0-9])) return 0 ;; *) return 1 ;; esac } or in your case where you're testing for an integer > 0 let $x 2> /dev/null and check the return code Salem's right about [ ed ...

#!/bin/ksh while read -- line do set -- $line # this loads $1 $2 .. with each field in $line do some stuff done < MyFile You can also get the individual fields like this while read -- f1 f2 f3 All this assumes that the field separater in the file is white space. If not, you'll...

the grep, awk and | are behaving as expected. It's the output from the grep that is causing the problem. grep will return the count of occurences in pattern, or the pattern, or the filename depending on the option. BUT it will only return 1 token. Try this:- [[ $(grep -c &quot;yo&quot...

I get no errors from this code fragment. I suspect you wouldn't either. The cause of your error is in some other part of the script (k4[82]: syntax error at line 143 :). Please post the entire script. set -x param=$1 case ${param} in stop) set -A instance2 `ps -ef | grep [o]ra_smon |...
