    How to transfer files from Vax to AIX using DECnet

    <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.

    Andybo - How do I make the info $My_string

    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...

    How would you describe HP-UX to a group of non-technical people?

    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...

    How can I put the result of &lt;STDOUT&gt; in a variable

    <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...

    books

    <br>For general reference you can't beat the O'Reilly series, but for korn shell usage and scripting, my favorite is<br><br>KornShell Programming Tutorial<br>by Barry Rosenberg<br>ISBN 0-2-1-56324-X<br>Addison-Wesley Publishing Company<br><br>

    Echo to a file

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

    What is the latest version of SunOS?

    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.

    using split with localtime

    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...

    slurping files quickly

    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.

    slurping files quickly

    <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...

    why this script cannot loop?

    <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...

    AIX Print skipping

    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...

    Regular expression for phone number?

    <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>

    Looking for unix print queue (NOT spooler)

    We ended up just writing a sudo script to let Operations cancel print jobs. We also made the &quot;copy&quot; parameter the default, so it copies the file to the spool instead of just a pointer to the file. <br> <br> That handled the two most critical issues, immediate cancels and multiple...

    next "for" question

    It's because I tried to separate the for components with commas instead of semicolons. perl parsed it to look like<br> for (init1, init2, init3;;)<br> <br> duh!<br>

    Looking for unix print queue (NOT spooler)

    I am looking for an honest to goodness managable print queue for unix. The lpsched spooler is not sufficiently reliable for some of our applications and I have to jump through hoops to let anyone besides root manage it.<br> <br> I really like LP Plus by Plus Technologies (<A...

    AIX 4.2 vs. NT4.0

    darkstar: I know that Samba let you mount unix drives on the NT box, does it also go the other way and mount NT partitions as unix file systems?<br>
