I use ps command to manually make sure that my processes are running. But how can I automate it? Ideally I'd like to be sent an email, or some other flag, when one of my processes stops running.

'man sendmail' does not provide an example. I tried to guess on how to use it but so far got nowhere.

Can anyone give me example of sending a short and simple email from UNIX command line using sendmail? Is sendmail useed like that?

Hello, I am given the number of seconds since the Epoch (12:00AM, jan 1, 1970). I need the current date and time. Is there a function that already does that?

Thanks for the information. More precisely, I am trying to obtain the STDIN to a Perl Script, then from the Perl script, make a system call to execute a java componenet, passing along the stardard input as STDIN, not as a parameter. #!/usr/bin/perl # stdin.pl my $var = ""; while () { chomp...

Is there a way to pass a variable from Perl script to a Java program, so that Java reads it using STDIN? I can do it as command line argument, but I'd like to know how to do it through STDIN.

ok, for some reason I could not find this example in O'Reily book. I want to substitute every string of "==" to be "|", in $_ so I say: s/==/|/; but that only substitutes the first occurence of "==", not all of them. How do you substitute all of them?

After loaded in my users from an LDIF file, the only way I know to activate them is one user at a time. What if you have like 10k new users? Is there a way to activate them all at once?

that works. Thanks!

Sorry, I meant $arrayOfContacts[$numOfContacts]{"CONT_ID", with the bracket [

I have a tab delimited file that I want to read in, such that each line is a hash and the entire file is an array of the hashes. To test it, I am printing a CityName. What's wrong with this picture?: my @arrayOfContacts; my $numOfContacts =0; while (<INCONT>){ chomp($_)...
