Make sure the ssh is configured to allow public key access. Also, make sure your authorized_keys file is setup properly, and are you sure its asking for a password and not a passphrase, which is...

How is javascript going to help with this when there is no server and no html, or anything else that has anything at all to do with JavaScript? Or is this really a download after all? Even though...

None of those. This is simply accessing a file on a shared disk. Not a download at all. Take a look at his other threads on this forum about access times and downloads.

Check out the "eval" command.

Edit: I.E.

eval "echo \$${AGENCY}_INCOMING_READY"

Then you're tough out of luck. If you poll the file with ls -u (on solaris) every few milliseconds you can get a rough (and I do mean rough) estimate, at an extreme overhead cost, but that's all.
...

Go back further.

Explain, exactly, what it is you are trying to do, with all factors detailed.

If this is that "download count" problem, then you are going about it completely the wrong way.

If it is "good enough" to get the count the next day, then simply parse the servers access log. If...

At least on Solaris "-u" is the option. For any other system you are going to have to man ls and actually read it to find out if any of the options have anything to do with access time and then...

man ls

We are not here to do your (home)work for you.

We are more than happy to help you with it, but you have to do it. Show us what you are trying and we will help you to correct it, or describe what...

I didn't mention, that was on Solaris. On something else the "t" may not be necessary (and is seemingly not on your system), but that decimal point is (when including seconds).



There is a...

The man page for ls and the awk command.


ls -E f1.sh | awk '{print $6, $7, $8}'

touch -mt 200911141130.00 f1.sh

Take a closer look at the man page.

Yes it will. Why don't you try showing us what you tried.

P.S. Did you try typing "man touch" first?

$file_name, not file_name
ditto for the other variables
use "sed -e" not just "sed"
and change $file.new to ${file}.new just to be safe

Edit: So many problems, so little text. ;-)

That "^M" is a unix line end, use the dos2unix command first. For the rest use sed.

Do kindly explain exactly what you need. Junk character means nothing.

Configure the ssh to use private keys.

Do you really want to copy the modified line to the end of the original file so that the same tag exists twice with differing values?

Also, you can avoid having to escape the "/" by using a...

#! is a built-in exec. The shell script is executed in the shell declared on this line.

$1 etc are the arguments provided on the command line (or provided on the function call when used inside a...

grep will only match the lines (and return the entire line, not just the matched portions of it), and will not alter them. If you wish to alter the lines you are going to need to use sed, or...

Then check in VB and or Batch forums as this forum is for Unix Scripting, as Windows Scripting is referred to as either VB or Batch, not Shell, Scripting.

type "time" at the command line and check it out.

Then type "man time" at the command line and read that carefully (assuming, of course, that you are using a Unix system, as that is what this...

See the "time" command.

Please describe "does not run".

That is not the full path to the command. I can guarantee that "." is not what you think it is. Use the full path whether setting the Path or using the full path in the command.

They don't have a full environment. Set the environment variables you need (such as PATH) in the script.

Actually do sudo test .... rather than sudo [ .... ]

There is a tutorial at the top of this forum.

man test

[ ] is a "shorthand"/"shell-builtin" for the command test. And, for reference, file-handle 0 is either standard out or standard in. I forget which and it has been years since I've had...

Well, that's what you do. Take a look at the manual again, and see what other types of "patterns" that you can use in the same position that you currently have "13,16".

sed with the -n option and the "p" "operator". Try reading the man page for sed again, then post your attempt here.

Of course, the stuff with the replacement is completely unnecessary as this

s/^[^=]*=\(.*\)$/\1/

is the same as

s/^[^=]*=//

And the second is probably, at least slightly, more effecient.

You're missing the loop. Think "while"

How could it not be? Do you honestly need someone to tell you how to access an environment variable?
(echo $RANDOM)
Or maybe how to store it's results?
(varName=`echo $RANDOM`)

see the man pages for the find command.

It means your script is suppossed to delete the files, but rather than actually deleting them, you will simply tar-gzip them and move them somewhere else. Essentially the "trash bin" process.

There is no "columns" There are tab sizes, but those only apply to the current session (also saved in preferences but only for the current user), so that doesn't help as the next...
