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 (<INPUT>) {<br> push(@File_Array, $_);<br>}<br></font><br>collapses to<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>@File_Array = <INPUT>;<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...- kaih

How can I put the result of <STDOUT> in a variable
<br>If I understand correctly you are running an external command "xcom62 -cf" 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... -

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.- kaih

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 "$timeVars[5] + 1900".) 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, "file") ¦¦ warn "couldn't open file";<br> @array = <FILE>;<br> close(FILE);<br> <br> I would like to <br> @array = <"file">;<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 >somefile 2>&1 # put stdout and stderr...- kaih

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 "( ___ ) ___ - ____" 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 "copy" 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...- kaih

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...- kaih

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>
