Redirect script output to the log

admin — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:29:58 +0000

If the whole output of the complex script should be redirected to the log, the following trick could be used.

if [ "$1" != "-log" ] ; then
$0 -log "$@" 2>&1 | tee the_log_file.$$.log
echo "The log file for the current session: the_log_file.$$.log"
exit 0
fi
shift # remove "-log" parameter

Print the PATH directories in the readable format

admin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:55:53 +0000

echo $PATH| awk -v RS=":" '{ print $0 }'

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH |awk -v RS=":" '{ system ( "ls -rltd " $0 ) }'

Warning!
As far as the option ‘-v’ is used, the new awk(nawk in some systems) should be used.

To check if the new version of awk is installed:

awk 1 /dev/null

The output will be empty for new awk.
You have the old awk, if the output is something like

awk: syntax error near line 1

In this case nawk should be used instead awk

MS-DOS modification: echo %PATH% | awk -v RS=”;” “{ print $0 }”

Sybase sp_freedevice procedure

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:37:25 +0000

Only the short info about Sybase database devices.
Parameters:
min_space – minimum of required space (i.e. 40 will display the devices with >=40M free space)
the_name – the template for the device name (i.e. %mast% will display only master device)

Warning! It was not tested for all possible configurations, so the result could be incorrect on some OS.

Rev function and comma-separated output

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:26:00 +0000

Here is the shell command snippet to display comma-separated output:

ls -lrt | rev | sed 's/\$[0-9][0-9][0-9]\$/\\1,/g' | rev | sed 's/\$[\^0-9]\$,\$[0-9]\$/\\1\\2/g;s/\^,\$[0-9]\$/\\1/g'

Example:
-rw-r—– 1 sybase dba 1,572,872,192 Feb 2 07:09 master.dbf

Rev in awk

#!/bin/ksh
nawk '{ l=length($0) ; for(i=l;i>0;i--) { printf "%s", substr($0,i,1) } ; print "" }'

Rev function (absent on SunOS) :

(Warning! Avoid spaces before #define – SunOS cc compiler doesn’t like them)
