I looked at uniq, but I couldn't find a way to just compare a certain
field and ignore the rest.
Do you want to see the entire line or just the unique hostname value
in the 5th field? If you
only wanted a list of the unique hostnames you could use awk:
cat input_file | awk -F',' '{ print $5; }' | sort | uniq
cat input_file | cut -d',' -f5 | sort | uniq
If you wanted to see the first line in the file for each of these
hostnames then that might
require a bit more cleverness.
I'll be interested to see what other suggestions you receive.
sort -t, -k 5 | sed 's/,/ /g' | uniq -f4 -w13
I picked -w13 becoz it was the largest hostname in your sample.
Change to suit....

Add a -t flag to uniq ! it only deals with whitespace separation, hence
the sed :(
