Not so much useless but it struck me as funny the day I saw this. I was reimaging a pc with partimage and there was a problem with the hd(I think, this was a long time ago.) I just remember the...

I find all kinds of crap around the office. I've got an old 8086 proc sitting at my desk. Had a 66mhz(I think) Texas Instruments laptop. There are several sealed boxes of 5.25 floppies. I've found...

I shudder to think what I've spent. It may do me some good to go back and try to track down how much I've spent so I'd slow down though. My biggest expenses were when I started to get into case...

I would rather keep my desktop uncluttered so I don't use it for storage in windows or linux. Windows does have the equivalent of the home directory but it's known as the profile(at least in nt, 2k...

I've got a few old machines that I've been fairly happy with. One is my parents that is a 333 celeron with 64mb of ram - it's still perfectly fine for email and web browsing. Another, I got from...

Paste problem was something odd on hpux - using perl script called sum in it's place now. All of it is working. Thanks for helping out.

cool, everything works now except totaling. noticed on the output I'm getting a paste usage line. any ideas why that is?

doh! if only there was a head-smack emoticon. looking at the way you did the options before, I thought that the USER="$2" was specifically saying the user variable would be stored in $2. Don't know ...

meh, sure once anyone waits the 10-15minutes this script takes to run for one user they won't want to run for several users against several project areas. I've still got problems though. The script...

If you're wanting to learn about Linux more, I'd personally say start with simple stuff. Do some shell scripting. I started doing scripts about a month or two ago and can't even start to say how much...

If -u or -p are used, yes, arguments are required. I'm confused as to what the file="$1" is for though?

also, as that is, would it be able to handle multiple arguments to the options? for example:...

sounds like that would just be command line arguments though. or would it be able to take "-p" for example and options after that? example command assuming -u is for user and -g to calculate total in...

awesome. works for totaling and I think I figured out a way to get the -g option working but now need a -p option. Something isn't working how I thought it would and it was taking options as path...

how'd this end up in /dev/random? :confused:

oh well, could a mod move it to programming please?

k, I've got most of a script written that will search to find files owned by a user and output them to a file with disk usage in format:

900 ./file

I need to take the first column...

I've written a script that takes input from command line and two files and finds largest 5 lines:



#!/bin/ksh

for arg in "$@"
do
rm -f tmpu tmpp tmpu2 tmpp2 tmp
sed -e...

sort won't work, there is no whitespace in the original file/no columns. I think I've got the commands I want the script to run - sed out the dirnames/sort what's left/tail the 5 largest and grep...

I'm writing a script to take a list of directories in a file(formatted: dir,spaceused) and echo the 5 largest to the screen. I can't figure out the math operation/loop to handle this. Any help?

They seem a bit pricey but you can get laptops with Gentoo, Suse, or Fedora loaded. http://linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html

for me, it'd be Ramy or Amra or something like that(Amy and Ray.) Although, she may not be the SO for much longer :(

I play games to much to run pure Linux. I would like to though. At home, I have an old P2 set up as a router/file server/firewall and then a gaming rig that is dual booted, XP and Gentoo.

Interesting. I still like my username though.

Sounds exactly like a place that the company I'm currently working for has. I've grabbed a couple machines from there for myself. One, that is currently my router/file server is dual p2 350. Another...

I'm pretty new to shell scripting and need to write a script that will add a dash to sets of numbers and take the new numbers(directory names) and compare them with currently existing directories...
