korn shell script
Hi, Unfortunately you won't find too much on this. We encountered this problem at my work and this is what I came up with. (Again "correct" solution depends on what your needs are) PROBLEM: Need to transfer files via FTP from a machine A to another (machine B) using SSH protocols... -

DVD support on AIX5 ?
We were investigating this for a while with us. Officially, AIX 5+ supports UFS for DVD-RAM to mimic "packet writing" type environments on Windows. In other words the DVD is treated as a separate filesytem. Suppossedly this is only valid for the DVD-RAM drive IBM ships with it's... -

Last command in csh shell

Archive bits and ability to lock access time in AIX 4.x.x??
Thanks sushveer. I have something similar to that but the problem is when we perform backups, via tar/cp -r/commercial products the access time gets updated. We have to do a weekly full backup (and daily incrementals) due to the large amount of data we have (3+ TB). So now you can see our... -
Archive bits and ability to lock access time in AIX 4.x.x??
Hey all, I was wondering if in AIX 4.2.1 and 4.3.3 if there is such a thing as an archive bit in the JFS filesystem? I know that newer releases of AIX (and JFS) have this but I'm not sure if there is for older versions. Also is there is a way to preserve the "access time" in the... -
Last command in csh shell
Easiest way without completely tweaking the CSH is to use the !! command from the prompt. This will redo the last command. If your history is setup then you can use !<event #> ie. %> echo "HI" HI %> !! HI %>history 1: echo "HI" %> !1 -
How do I count files in a directory
Hmm...I find that "find" is sometimes slow on larger filesystems. You can also try: du -a [starting point] | wc -l This will list ALL files & directories (udnerneath) the starting point but there is no distinction between a directory and a file. For that you gotta use the find command.
