General :: Pass Multiline Output Of A Command Into 'date -j'
Mar 3, 2011
I am doing some NSCA log parsing and I want to get an output like this:
2011-Feb-18:11:00:07
2011-Feb-18:11:00:07
2011-Feb-18:11:00:07
2011-Feb-18:11:00:08
2011-Feb-18:11:00:08
[Code]....
I have tried this, but it treats the entire output as a single line, then plops a timestamp on the end (I think):
Code:
sort -b -k4.9,4.12 -k4.5b,4.7Mb -k4.2,4.3 -k4.14,4 foo.log| date -j -f "%Y-%b-%d:%T" "+%s" "`awk -F '[ [/:]' '{print $7"-"$6"-"$5":"$8":"$9":"$10}'`"

I'm putting together a small bash script which uses diff in a sub shell.
RESULT=$(diff file1 file2)
This is the first time I've tried to return multiline output from a subshell - how can I get this to display as multiple lines instead of one?

is there a way to install Ubuntu with up-to-date versions of all packages right away? To clarify: With the normal LiveCDs, in order to install an up-to-date Ubuntu Lucid, I have to download a 700 MB LiveCD, install Ubuntu, and then use the Update Manager (or apt-get) to upgrade all outdates packages, which by now should be another about 300 MB. Old versions of SUSE Linux had the option of downloading an ~40MB installer ISO which did not contain any packages itself, but would download and install the most recent versions of all necessary packages.
Is there such a facility for Ubuntu as well? Or a way of using an outdated Ubuntu LiveCD (e.g. Lucid Beta 1) to still install an up-to-date system in a single pass? I am *not* talking about netboot images such as netboot.me or boot.kernel.org, which AFAIK will download the full normal Ubuntu ISO during boot, so that I would still have to upgrade the system afterwards.

I have a backup schedule running a full backup everyday. I'm using webmin to manage these backup now. The problem is when the dump command sends a prompt asking if we want to rewrite the tape, Webmin does not display this prompt and we end up having to terminate the backup -> erase the tape(which takes a long time) and then run the backup again.I was wondering if there is a technique that could be used to pass "Yes" as a parameter to the dump command, much like in windows? or if there is a more efficient way of getting this done.

I have access to backup server via rsync protocol (only rsync, nothing else). Now, I want to fetch file from there (which is .tar.gz) and pass it directly to tar command, without saving the archive in local filesystem. To visualize, with ssh access I could:
ssh remote_host cat backup.file.tar.gz | tar xzf - And I will get uncompressed backup locally, without actually storing .tar.gz on local machine. Is it possible to achieve when using rsync?

I've written myself a linux program "program" that does something with a regular expression. I want to call the program in the bash shell and pass that regular expression as a command line argument to the program(there are also other command line arguments). A typical regular expression looks like "[abc]_[x|y]".Unfortunately the characters [, ], and | are special characters in bash. Thus, calling "program [abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" doesn't work. Is there a way to pass the expression by using some sort of escape characters or quotation marks etc.?
(Calling program "[abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" isn't working either, because it interprets the two arguments as one.)

May i choose it from the very beginning ?

The university I go to uses a WPA2 wireless network that requires a netID and password to connect too. I installed wicd but I can't seem to connect to this network, is there a way to add this functionality to wicd, and if so, how do I do that (links to a how-to or guide would be nice, I've yet to find one).
Also, I spend most of my time on campus in the command line, so I'd like to know if there is a way to use command line utilities to connect to this network (again, a guide or how-to would be nice)
I can get online through my fedora live USB just fine (w/ network manager) but I'd rather get on directly from slackware.

I would appreciate help with how to extract the date and time from at command jobs. From what I can tell, the date and time is embedded in the file name (/var/spool/atjobs).I'd be using this information in a (bash) shell script.
