In need of a script -

[A. Clay Stephenson]

I didn't see an equivalent to the -C option of HP-UX's ps so try this (it's all one line):
ps -e | grep "syslogd" | grep -v "grep" | nawk '{print $1}'


If that works then use the alternate function I supplied earlier although there I missed an "awk" to "nawk" replacement.

I decided to call it quits for the evening.
I 'm unable to access that box from home so will try it tomorrow morning.

Can you again re-explain your last post so I'm more clear when I go in to try this again tomorrow morning..the part about the alternate function if the ps -e | grep "syslogd" | grep -v "grep" | nawk '{print $1}'works.


Thank you very much for all the help you've given me this evening!!!

I've had enough fun too, but:
# --------------------------------------
get_syslogd_pid()
{
typeset -i PSTAT=0
typeset -i SPID=$(ps -e | grep "syslogd" | grep -v "grep" | nawk '{print $1}')
PSTAT=${?}
echo "${SPID}"
return ${PSTAT}
} # get_syslogd_pid
# -------------------------------------
Take this function and replace the existing
get_syslogd_pid() function in your existing
script. It's a Solaris equivalent and it's purpose is to capture the PID of the currently execting syslogd.

Hi,

Why do you do simple things so complicate ? 8)))

LOGF=var/log/rtrlog
BACKLOG=var/log/rtrlog.bck
MAILF=/tmp/$$
if [ -s $BACKLOGF ]; then
grep -e ":%CISCOWORKS-CampusManager -e LINK_TRUNK $BACKLOGF
else
grep -e ":%CISCOWORKS-CampusManager -e LINK_TRUNK $LOGF
fi > $MAILF
date > $BACKLOGF
tail -f $LOGF>> $BACKLOGF
if [ -s $MAILF ]; then
cat $MAILF | mailx -s subject your@address
fi

By this way you don't have any problem with the logfile.
