Ok, I got this thing to work but I do not understand how my input file is passed to the script. Any help breaking down this script would be appreciated. The input file that gets passed is address.data echo "What is the name of the file? " read filename if [ -r $filename ]...

I think I am blind...the value for $filename is actually address.data which contains a list of names and address; although I do not think it is declared anywhere. > then sort +8n +0 +1 $filename> address.sort > awk '{print $1, $2 > print $3, $4, $5 > print $6...

Am I forgetting something here...not sure what I am to do next. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am attempting to create a script that will 1)Ask for the name of a file 2)Verify that the file is readable 3)If the file d/n exist or is not readable, issue an error message of some sort 4)print the file that has been sorted. I am not sure if I should declare a variable for the file or not...

As soon as I get the opportunity, hopefully in a couple of days I am going to pick this back up. I think we will go with a full re-install after I verify what the physical nics are. Thanks to all!

What all do I need to do to configure the OS so I can see the cards?

Will these commands & options work under Solaris 9 as well?

Oh by the way, it auto boots to Gnome or CDE, I use the terminal window from there. Is there a way to boot into just the terminal instead of the gui?

Thanks Ken, I will try that later tonight. Is there anything else you can think of? Thanks again!

I have a Compaq Prolinear Server PL1600 with 2 nics. I do a ifconfig -a and this is all I get: lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 Where do I go from here? Thanks
