    awk matching::

    Hi all, The awk statement below nearly works as I want it to. That is it removes :: if it is on the end or beginning of the PATH variable, but :: anywhere else is not removed - however ::: is. So it is nearly there. Any awk experts able to shed light light on getting the :: removed rather than...

    Problem listing all files in a script

    Good questions - because this is AIX and I cannot stop the find command traversing directories (only limit is filesytem boundaries)

    Problem listing all files in a script

    I knocked this together today but it is not listing all files in the while true FILE loop. I tried two variations, one with the ultimate endgame matching files which are go+w and one without. The idea is to check the files in each users home directory to ensure nothing is go+r. lsuser -a home...

    Script to work out file permissions (not working!)

    Hi all, I inherited this script which does not work on AIX:- touch a; chmod og-rwx a; ui=($(echo 0027 -n | fold -w1));sys=($(perl -e 'printf "%04o\n",(stat shift)[2] & 07777' a | fold -w1));for (( i=0; i<4; i++ )); do echo -n $(( ${ui[$i]} & ${sys[$i]})); done Basically, it is supposed to...

    multiple spaces between columns with grep

    Hi all, On AIX I had some problems with \s+ matching spaces so ended up using [[:blank:]]. But if there are multiple spaces between two words in a file, what is the best way of using [[:blank:]] without typing it more than once? Also the number of space varies per line, so there is no fixed...

    UNIX PATH directory checking

    Thanks Sam, That was a very good idea - have a star. I have ended up with this (adding in a check also for group writable directories). It does not traverse all the way up to "/" so I also hardcoded that into the script. Let me know if you think it could be made more efficient:- #!/bin/ksh su...

    UNIX PATH directory checking

    Hi all, I am trying to come up with the simplest way to parse root's path and then examine whether or not each directory is world writable or not. So far this works fine in listing the PATH names:- for DIR in `su - root -c "echo $PATH"| tr ':' ' '` do ls -lLd $DIR done This lists:-...

    egrep and IP addresses

    Hi there, This is giving me a bit of headache. Trying to grep out IP addresses from files, so looking for a "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" address format:- cat /tmp/test |egrep "[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.([0-9]{1,3}" This is the command I came up with, sort 0-9, 1-3 times followed by a dot. It works but it...

    Failed mirror of rootvg AIX 4.3.3.0

    Josh, If you get the PVID of the failed disk just use: reducevg rootvg <PVID of missing disk> It seems that you did not remove the original hdisk1 from the volume group, according to your steps above. Cheers PSD IBM Certified Specialist - AIX V4.3 Systems Support IBM Certified Specialist -...

    rsh problem

    Ken, This is most likely due to the name resolution of the server you are connecting from. Add both the hostname and fully qualified domain name into your .rhosts file to be safe, and of course make sure you can resolve both on the target server. Cheers PSD IBM Certified Specialist - AIX...
