One place I would start looking is in the mail application, remote and local. Most, if not all, mail applications have preferences/security default setting ie: block/allow 'username@domain'. From what you describe, your ISP can send mail to the remote server however you cannot suggests that some...

oops! print - should be $1 instead of $l. When I do not use the brackets the last line is missing the "z" and the 19th line prints the entire string. Same as the original post.

Interesting. I have the same results with AWK on POSIX. I noticed a couple of things from the examples displayed. In the post: 1:) aside from the full string [a-z] at or about 19 lines down, the bottom line did not end with the letter "z". The example from AIX showed no bottom line ending with...

The command should give you a prompt of - username-host name, and present working directory. delete the \ in front of $PWD it is acting as an escape. Also not sure what the function is doing there but it maybe causing problems when the profile executes. The syntax looks wrong. It has an open...

Thanks CPTK for your help. Sorry for the typo's. My thoughts were to extract a single digit from rowa to test its value, (1|2|3|4|5) The character class was confusing.

I am having a problem understanding how the character classes work using Posix. I am trying to extract a single digit from a string as follows: rowa='1 2 3 4 5' rowb=`echo $rowa |awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4}' for i in "$rowb do if [ "${i+[3[:digit:]}" = "3" ] #...

Thank you, it works great.

I am new to awk and am having, what I think maybe a syntax problem. Trying to add a row of numbers my command line is this: echo '4 3 6 7'|awk '{count=$1} {for(length();count1=count;(total=(count++))<=NF) print "total is " total }' two things I cannot figure out, how to define '{count=$1}' to...

Thank You all for your help. I used msconfig and restarted with 'basic devices and services only' same problem. This time the monitor and mouse locked. Had to power down and up. Looks like HD problem. Thanks again.

Hello, I am having a small problem at times while running my Symantec AV, as well as Windows Update. I have Windows XP Pro sp2. I think it maybe two or more resources competing for something. The event message reads "\device\lde\ldeport0 did not respond within the timeout period - ( crunching...

No there is no GUI involved in this. Just ./executable and it should run.

I am installing a software product on a Solaris 5.8 system in the foreground. Shortly after it begins it hangs - no error messaged. I tried for a test installing it in the background ( not a good idea because there is a question at the end I need to answer ) but it ran through ok. Is there a...

There is a couple of thing to do here. First right click on the NSR user icon and go to properties. In the target field at the very end put in -s then the server host name. Second edit \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and enter the I/P address of your host server followed by its full name then...

I deleted the connection and re-added it. Modem is selected and network settings are correct. I am wondering about 2 things. First does DUN hand it's data off to hyperterminal for dialing? Second I am using the telephony properties for area code and (1) for long distance This does not show in...
