Hi, I was just showing someone the use of xargs in conjunction with find. I thought I'd show him how to find which files in the /etc tree contain the system's hostname. So, I did:
find /etc -type f | xargs grep qatest52 (qatest52 being the system's name). I was pretty confident of the results, but was surprised by one additional line which I've never seen before: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid:<value><string>qatest52</string></value> This appears to be an XML formatted file. It's on an RH9 system. Of course, before I could go looking around the system more, the guy went back into the lab and rebooted the system which killed my ssh session. And my curiousity is killing me! So, what's this file for, and what else does it contain? What's the /etc/sysconfig/rhn subdir for, and what's in there (other than the systemid file :) Thanks, -- Seeya, Paul -- Key fingerprint = 1660 FECC 5D21 D286 F853 E808 BB07 9239 53F1 28EE It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right! _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
