I thought I should add, if you wanted to comment out people in your pager list, you could do something like:
sed 's/^[ ][ ]*//g; /^#/d' "${ADMIN_DIR"/who_to_page" | while read LINE; do PAGER_PERSON="${PAGER_PERSON},${LINE}" .... Note: The brackets in the sed statement have a space and a tab in them to handle the paranoia factor. > -----Original Message----- > FWIW, here is what I do: > > ## See if there is anything to send > COUNT=`awk '/^$/ {next}; END {print NR}' "$PAGE_FILE"` > ## If so send it > if [ $COUNT -gt 0 ]; then > PAGER_PERSON='' > cat "${ADMIN_DIR}/who_to_page" | while read LINE; do > PAGER_PERSON="${PAGER_PERSON},${LINE}" > done > ## Optional cleanup lines for the intractably paranoid > PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/[ ]*//g'` > PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/^,*//g'` > PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/,,*/,/g'` > if [ -n "$PAGER_PERSON" ]; then > mailx -s "IT IS ALL OVER THE WALLS" "$PAGER_PERSON" > < "$PAGE_FILE" > fi > fi > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net > -- > Author: Stephen Lee > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com > San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
