Hi I run this command and pipe the output to a perl one liner. not quite sure how it parses the data: svmon -Pt3 | perl -e 'while(<>){print if($.==2 || $& && !$x++); $.=0 if (/^--+$/)}'
which outputs: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pid Command Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 64-bit Mthrd 16MB 1450182 oracle 2567301 65584 1345587 3132033 Y N N 1179888 oracle 2117480 65584 1343450 2680222 Y N N 1446084 oracle 2115481 65840 1346761 2681480 Y N N -- The ouput it is parsing looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pid Command Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 64-bit Mthrd 16MB 1450182 oracle 2501222 65586 1345953 3066501 Y N N PageSize Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 238845 - clnt /dev/fslv00:41875 s 0 0 - - ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pid Command Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 64-bit Mthrd 16MB 1794286 oracle 2131397 65604 1343816 2695867 Y N N PageSize Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual s 4 KB 2063541 20 1343816 2628011 ..... and so on -- i understand that it resets the line count every time it sees a line of "----" and it then will print line 2 which is the summary line we are looking for. not sure what this part does "($.==2 || $& && !$x+ +)" thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
