Script help for omni.

kampatel — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:12:05 GMT

I am trying to write a script wherein I want to initialize two nearest date protected tape from current date for the fields as below:

root):/home/root#omnimm -list_pool Development

Status Medium Label Location Full Protected

===============================================================================

Good [NFC777L2] Development [HP:MSL6000 Series: 25] Yes 08/06/11 - initialize via script

Good [NFC774L2] Development [HP:MSL6000 Series: 22] Yes 08/14/11

Good [NFC773L2] Development [HP:MSL6000 Series: 24] Yes 08/07/11 - initialize via script

Good [NFC784L2] Development [HP:MSL6000 Series: 23] Yes 08/13/11

Good [NFC787L2] Development [HP:MSL6000 Series: 26] No 08/14/11

I will initialize the script on friday so if the date is Aug 5 then the nearest date are 08/06 and 08/07 then these should be initialized by command "omnimm -recycle"

I got the two fields by awk and sed as below:

NFC777L2 08/06/11

NFC774L2 08/14/11
NFC773L2 08/07/11
NFC784L2 08/13/11
NFC787L2 08/14/11

I am trying to take nearest two days with respect to current date and initializ it via script but not sure how to put them in action. Any suggestion would be highly helpful.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi:

How about something as simple as this

# awk '{print $2,$1}' file | sort -t"/" -nk1,1 -nk2,2 | head -2

Regards!

Ideally you would use a language that supports date arithmetic like perl. Then you can sort and pick the closest two.

(root):/var/scripts#sort -t"/" -nk1,1 -nk2,2 list.final Usage: sort [-AbcdfiMmnru] [-T Directory] [-tCharacter] [-y kilobytes] [-o File] [-k Keydefinition].. [[+Position1][-Position2]].. [-z recsz] [File]..

Not good in perl.

>sort -t"/" -nk1,1 -nk2,2 list.final

It probably doesn't like the -n before the -k: sort -t"/" -k1,1n -k2,2n list.final

Hi (again):

For HP-UX that should be:

# awk '{print $2,$1}' file | sort -t"/" -kk1,1 -kn2,2 | head -2

...though reversing the 'k' and 'n' options works on Apple :-)

Sorry, Not working again.

>For HP-UX that should be: ... | sort -t"/" -kk1,1 -kn2,2

sort(1) says that the type is after the field start or end: field_start [ type ] [,field_end [ type ] ]

Unless you want to use the global -n: sort -t"/" -n -k1,1 -k2,2 list.final

Yes, and I can't type :-)

# awk '{print $2,$1}' file | sort -t"/" -kn1,1 -kn2,2 | head -2

...not '-kk' as you copied from my mangled post.
