Subject: Scripts for a DEC ALpha running UNIX 4.0B
It would be great help to someone who is justing starting out to get
a couple of your favorite scripts for managing thing on a DEC Alpha
box running DUX 4.0G.
Specifically I need a script that would create an empty file that has
a name in the followinf format:
vdump.mmddyy.log.
I've tried using touch > date +%m%d%y and vaious other scenarios
without luck.
The consensus answer : touch vdump.`date +%m%d%y`.log
Another script I need would log users of my boxes. Currently, I:
ps -ef | grep tty for users and kill -9 their PID.
Gene:
kill -9 `ps -ef | grep {whatever you're grep'ing for]| awk '{print $2}'`
ps -ef | grep {whatever you're grep'ing for]| awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
Jeff: Yikes! That's drastic, kill -TERM then kill -9, & getsid to find top level.
Hugh: killall - # send SIGTERM (15) to everybody, then SIGKILL (9)
I tried above, but it killed more than the users.
Lastly, if anyone has a method for sending spool files from the DEC
box to an HP3000 and printed I could also use it.
I should clarify. The HP3000 is running MPE/ix and has control of the printers. The ones I'm having a problem with do not use JetDirect cards. They are connected serially using rs232. Any suggestions are welcomed.
It just goes to show you that I don't know my "`" from a "'" in the ground.
