I have a problem with saving output from awk to a file. The commands I tried:
Code:
$ top | awk '/Cpu|Mem/ {if ($1 ~ /Cpu/) {printf strftime("%H:%M:%S")" "; printf strtonum($3)" ";} if ($1 ~ /Mem/) {printf ($5/$3)*100; printf "
";}}' > file.out
and
Code:
$ top | awk '/Cpu|Mem/ {if ($1 ~ /Cpu/) {printf strftime("%H:%M:%S")" "; printf strtonum($3)" ";} if ($1 ~ /Mem/) {printf ($5/$3)*100; printf "
";}}' &> file.out
In both cases file.out is empty. What am I doing wrong?
I am creating a script to sync my important documents between two system. I want my script to generate a log file for the last action. can you suggest me a way to achieve this.Question: If I execute the rsync command with -v flag, it will print a lot of messages on the console. Is there any way. So, I can redirect these logs to a file?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis seems so simple when doing it from command line but I'm not able to accomplish it inside a script. I am trying to put output of following command into a text file:
CMD= mysql -uroot -psecret -e 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS G;'
FIL=~/replication-`date +%F`.txt
MAILTEXT=~/mailtext.txt
touch $FIL
$CMD > $FIL
Where FIL is a variable that contains path of the file to which to output command. I am running this command in a shell script from where I want to email contents of $FIL as attachment using mutt. But I am always getting 0 byte file. Also if I examine in directory the file is of 0 byte length.
I use 'grep -Ri "mypattern" .' to search for all files in the current directory recursively that contain "mypattern". But this command returns every single occurence, so that if a given file has several occurences of the pattern, the screen fills up pretty quick. More than likely, there's a way to restrict the output so that it only displays each file once, no matter how many occurences it contains, but I couldn't find how to do it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to redirect the output of two variables to different columns of a .csv file in MS excel like this,

But I am getting both $a and $b in the same column, is there anything I can use instead of to move the value of $b to the next column? Or is there a good different approach to do it?
need to monitor pecific processes over a time frame in terms of the amount of memory and cpu usage it utilizes. I can do this using the top -p <pid> option and using ps to retrieve the pid's. However, seeing that the pid's might differ and it needs to be run on about 13 different machines, I would like to write a script for this that can be run at set intervals. My problem that I have is this:
- When running top -p <pid> I can specify a comma seperated list of the processes required to monitor at that specific time.
- I can use ps -ef | grep <process> | grep -v grep| awk '{ print $2 }' to retrive the list of pid's and output this to a file.
However, how can I output these to the file as a comma seperated list without having to manually do this every time? The reason for this is (an example), lets say I want to monitor the cpu and memory usage of postgresql as well as all its child processes, then I would ps grep for postgres and get the list of pid's for instance.This list then needs to be passed to top -p as a comma seperated list of pid's I suspect that awk or sed might have some options available for this but I do not know this well enough.
I have this code that is 'bashed' regularly with crontab and basically it will send me an E-Mail of most of the output but it misses out some of it!
Here is the crontab code to automatically run the script:
Code:
So that sends me an E-mail with most of the output of the following code:
Code:
It sends me everything up to echo "*******" "Begin compressing and transferring files" "*******" but it wont output the tar bit.. so it should give me a list of files that have been tarred.
I am currently using this command
Code:
apt-get install samba --force-yes -y > /sambainstall.txt This suppresses the screen output and sends it all to a text file, how do I have both?
I have a small doubt regarding Assembly file compilation. I have two .s files. When I compile two .s files I am getting corresponding .o files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?

What is the most primitive way to output a file to the printer? I mean data transfer from the file to the printer. I suppose it must be 'cp some_file /dev/<printer device>. For the console, I know the devices are /dev/ttyN, N= 1,2,... But I do not know what are the devices for the printer.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a alias/script that will make it easier to look at my environment via the set command.
On my ubunto when running set it also displays some 10 pages of code pertaining to something called "imagemagik". at the end of the output. This code begins with the { character.
This is annoying if I want to look at my environment when working on scripts. How could I use something like grep, awk, sed, or whatever to ignore everything after the "{" character.
That seems to be the simplest way as long as there are no leading brackets in my environment. (And if you're thinking I should just remove {imagemagik}, I might just do that. But I still would like to know how to do this).
When I run a script with nohup, the output is forced to the out.log file by default; is there a way to force the output to the screen instead of the file? I need to be able to see when my script gives me a "process started" message, and I don't want to clog up the system with log files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu and I'm programing with eclipse CDT. My goal is to execute a php file and read the output to my c++ program. To do so I thought I should use fork(), dup2() and execl. When in shell, the call "php myscript.php" worked just fine, but when in c++ I tried:
execl("usr/bin/php", "php", "home/geiger/workspace/SemiServer/server_content/myscript.php", NULL);
And it didn't work (the process wasn't terminated and I got no output). I tried different version of this call, like losing the "php" string and/or drop "home/geiger" from the path string, to no better result.

I am using:
user@unknown:~$ sudo command -option > log
to save the results of "command" to the file "log", but I'd like to also get the result on the terminal, is this possible?
I am using ubuntu 10.04 lts.
I know how to redirect the output of a terminal to a file. For example, if I want to list all the files in ~/Documents and output to a file called test.txt, I would do this: ls ~/Documents > test.txt The question is, can I copy the output to test.txt AFTER I have carried out the command? This would mean that I wouldn't have to know in advance whether I want to copy the output to file. I want to do something like this: ls ~/Documents Then this: <bash command for copying standard output to test.txt>

I'm having a slight dilemma on reading data from a text file and outputting it into a table then displaying it. Basically I'm writing a shell script that takes information from text files then outputs the data into a table with 4 headings.he extracting of the data is fine, but creating a table i'm having problems with. I think it is possible to do it using the awk function, but so far i'm having a lot of difficulties.
