Hello,

if you'r- out of memory ( in your brain, not the server;) ), here is the perfect alias:

alias sepath='echo ${PATH} | tr ":" "\n" | xargs ls |sort -u |egrep -i "${@}"'

you can test:
# sepath grep
egrep
fgrep
grep
nisgrep
zgrep

Hello,

if your ssh connexion seems too long, you can purge your [uwb]tmp files, this script attached will do it for you.

example before the purge,
/var/adm/wtmp was 239Mo :
# time ssh nr0u0151 "uname -n"
nr0u0151
real 0m58.58s
user 0m0.09s
sys 0m0.02s

after the purge of /var/adm/wtmp:
# time ssh nr0u0151 "uname -n"
nr0u0151
real 0m1.73s
user 0m0.09s
sys 0m0.01s

Two problems and the solutions I've been using for more than two decades.



Problem:
Oops! I didn't want to delete that:

Solution:
del (reversible rm)

Usage:
Once in the habit of using del path [...]
rather than rm path [...], accidental deletions can be restored from the ~/.deleted directory. Weekly, I purge the ~/.deleted directory of files more than 7 days old.
Emacs and other packages are configured to put their backups in ~/.deleted, thus reducing filespace clutter.



Problem:
Users complain of mysterious package failures when they run setup scripts too often and exceed environment string length,
causing misconfiguration.

Solution:
Idempotent path extension. i.e. If already in path variable, move to front of list and remove duplicate.

Usage:
This snippet is modified and incorporated into scripts that setup a user's environment for particular package use. Thereafter the user simply runs the setup script before using the package. If there are two or more users, one can execute the script before every usage, and the other may execute the script only once, but neither complains of failure due to exceeding environment string length.



Hopefully helpful,

Hi,

Two small scripts for lan connectivity

1.To check which are the lan ports connected to the lan switches, if you have multiple lan ports connected but not assigned ip addresses.

lanscan | awk '{print $2,$5}' | tail +3 | while read mac ppa
do
linkloop -i $(echo $ppa | sed -e 's/lan//g') $mac 1> /dev/null 2>&1
if [[ "$?" = 0 ]]
then
echo $ppa connected
fi
done


2. To check which lan ports of one server are accessible to the lan ports of other server at the Link layer. This is mostly useful when you are doing the connectivity for Cluster, providing redundant links using redundant switches and lan ports.
This requires remsh/rcp to be enabled on the 2 servers/ can replace by ssh and scp as appropriate

remsh server2 -n "/usr/sbin/lanscan > /tmp/lanscansrv2.out"
rcp server2:/tmp/lanscansrv2.out /tmp
cat /tmp/lanscansrv2.out | tail +3 | awk '{print $2,$3}' | while read addr ppa
do
lanscan | tail +3 | awk '{print $2,$3}' | while read selfaddr selfppa
do
linkloop -i $selfppa $addr > /tmp/linkloop.out 2>&1
OK=$(grep -c OK /tmp/linkloop.out)
if [[ "$OK" = "1" ]]
then
echo "server1: lan$selfppa $selfaddr can reach server2: lan$ppa $addr"
fi
done
done

Hi again,

Again 2 small scripts for checking mirroring on vg00.

1. Check mirror status of lvols in /dev/vg00. This can be useful to check how much of mirroring is completed if you running mirroring in background

for LVNAME in $(vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 | grep 'LV Name' | awk '{print $NF}')
do
MIRROR=$(lvdisplay -v $LVNAME | grep 'Mirror copies' | awk '{print $NF}')
if [[ $MIRROR != 0 ]]
then
totalext=`lvdisplay -v $LVNAME | awk '/Logical extents/,/zzz/' | egrep -v
"^$" | tail +3 | wc -l`
syncedext=`lvdisplay -v $LVNAME | awk '/Logical extents/,/zzz/' | egrep -
v "^$" | tail +3 | awk '{print $NF}' | grep -c current`
echo "Mirroring for $LVNAME is $(echo "($syncedext*100)/$totalext" | bc)
% completed"
fi
done


2. Check stale PEs in mirrored lvols in /dev/vg00. This can be run as a shceduled job to regularly check if all lvols have synced PEs/mirroring

for lvname in $(vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 | grep 'LV Name' | awk '{print $NF}')
do
MIRROR=$(lvdisplay -v $lvname | grep 'Mirror copies' | awk '{print $NF}')
if [[ $MIRROR != 0 ]]
then
MIRROR_STATUS=$(lvdisplay -v $lvname | grep -c -i stale)
if [[ $MIRROR_STATUS != 0 ]]
then
echo $lvname has stale PEs
else
echo $lvname is mirrored
fi
fi
done

A script tells total Disk size on the server;

#!/usr/bin/sh
#strt=$(ioscan -funC disk | awk '/rdsk/{print $2}')
# Following part modified from Radhakrishnan's script . . .
#
strt=$(ioscan -funC disk |awk '{ if ($3 != "") printf ("%s",$0) ; else printf ("%s\n",$0)}' |grep -v DVD-ROM | grep -v Class | awk '/rdsk/{print $10}')

i=0
p1=0
pT=0

echo $strt > /tmp/siliniz
clear
for i in `cat /tmp/siliniz`
do
p1=$(diskinfo -b $i)
pT=$(expr $p1 + $pT)
done
Tot=$(expr $pT / 1048576)
echo "-------------------------"
echo " Total Disk Size: $Tot GB"
/usr/bin/rm /tmp/siliniz

This is a script to rename for group files as given *partial* file names and given server-name.

How to find out the umask for all running processes. Quite slow, it uses q4 debugger ;-), but works.

This is from HP UX 11.31 resources first creates a directory lvmbackup; datafills from current LVM configuration and then checks if there is any change in LV config when executed. . .Useful.

Run dircmp but do NOT recurse through subdirectories.
Tell us if files are in directory 1 but not in directory 2
Tell us if files are in directory 2 but not in directory 3
Tell us if a file is in both directories but have different contents
If -d is added, give us a diff command on these files.

Hi all,

one more script to choose and kill FIN_WAIT_
network connections.

The script use ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_status to get a list of FIN_WAIT* connections and ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_discon_by_addr to disconnect selected connections.

The usage of script is shown with kill_finwait.sh -? and is the following:

usage: ./kill_finwait.sh [-a] [-p ] [-i ] [-k]
-a select all FIN_WAIT connections
-i select only connections from given ip
-p select only connections on given port
-k kill selected connections
default is to select no connections and do not kill

hope it will be usefull
bye
