This is one of those things that always seems to bite me. I have the following in my script - sed -i '284s/"[^"]*"/"mclane.com mclane.mclaneco.com"/g' <filename> I need to configure the command so the 284 line number can be read as $ln in case the file gets modified and the line number that...

I know this should be simple but the admin docs for Solaris 2.6 are not available to me in my environment and I have a E450 system that I need to add a DLT drive to. Commands such as probe-scsi do not work so I am stumped as to how in this arcane OS I can achieve what I need to. Thanks for...

I have recently installed Avocent's Cyclades ACS in my environment and have connected four SUN servers to it. 2 systems are E250 and 2 are Netra T1s. When I telnet to the advanced console server and pass the port number for 3 of the 4 servers it appears that the connection hangs until I send a...

I've inherited a Sunfire T2000 server from the previous SA but I have no clue how this system has been configured. In attempting to use serial console to access the system this have proven to be an exercise in sheer frustration. I have attempted to use minicom from a Linux system using the...

I know that this should be straight forward but for some reason it is not. I have a variable where I am attempting to store my SQL string but for some reason the command line is doing odd things when I attempt to escape the asterick. The assignment is as follows: FILE=$(echo "unload to...

Using Solaris 9 and building a Korn shell script with the following statement - echo $input | sed -e 's/[^[A-Za-z0-9]]//g' The statement fails to strip any special characters from $input if they are entered. Changing the range to the POSIX option of :[alnum]: has no affect on the string...

In the following code the line stating if ! validAlphaNum $input ; then is never seen to do the evaluation. Can someone tell me what I have missed. #!/bin/sh # Ensures that input is only alphanumeric validAlphaNum() { # Validate arg: returns 0 for success & 1 for failure # Strip all...

I know this should be easier than it is. I am attempting to find a command in the Solaris OS environment that will give me something like top, free or meminfo in the Linux enviroment. Thanks in advance, Steve
