I'm timing how long it takes to run a command foo. I'm looking to append the results from the time command to a file, and discard the results from the foo command. I tried the following, but it didn't do what I want:
$ time ./foo > /dev/null >> output_from_time_command.txt
I sorted a large mailing list and the result is in almost sorted order, but not quite.The sort was invoked in the default manner, just "sort".See (below) a segment of the output file.(Note: the actual files have a street address following each name.I have omitted the addresses to avoid complaints about disclosing personal information on-line.) I expect all people named KATZ to be grouped together, but they aren't. This phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the output file, so it has nothing to do with surnames beginning with the character string KATZ.
View 5 Replies View Relatedso I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10
How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)
What options should I use when I'm using the sort command to sort the top 5 CPU processes (ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%cpu,%mem,fname | sort ??? | head -5) showing max to min usage?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.
I scheduled a job, 'ls -a', with the at command, 3 minutes in the future. It looks like the job ran, but I cannot see the results of 'ls -a'. I accessed my mail with the 'mail' command and saw that the output of my scheduled job was message 1. I typed in '1' after the & prompt, and saw that the subject of the message was the output of my job, scheduled at the time specified with the 'at' command. I cannot see the output of the 'ls -a' command that I scheduled though. How do I see the contents of the message, and the actual output of the job.

how to include my command results in a script? Basically what the script does is it checks the status of a service within the linux server, then sends an email when done. I want to include the results of my status check to my mail when sent.

I wanted to supply mplayer with the output of find command as arguments. The error returned showed spliced names of files whenever spaces occurred. I have subdirectories in my /home/my_user_name/Music/ directory, and in them multiple *.oga music files. The actual command that I issued was
Code:
mplayer $(find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga")
mplayer started but then was looking for broken file names. I am thinking quoting has to do with it to preserve the filename as one string but different attempts were met with inroads:
Code:
mplayer `find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga"`
gave me the same result and
Code:
mplayer `"find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name *.oga"`
complained about wrong mplayer syntax.
