Re: need help w/ simple bash script
Hiya. I've been working on a web front-end to aggregate multiple servers' package update requirements as well. I'll probably have it ready to present in another few weeks, if ${DAYJOB} doesn't get in the way.

Use more quotes. REPORT = "`pkg_version -v`" will protect the newlines. > for LINE in `pkg_version -v`; do echo $LINE; done If you feel adventurous, you could to try something like this: tmpfile=/tmp/`basename $0`.$$ trap "rm -f $tmpfile $tmpfile.?" 0 1 2 3 5 15 pkg_version -v | while read package status text; do echo "$package $text" >> $tmpfile."$status" done Now you have tempfiles with package lists for the various stati, which you can parse as you see fit. Note that you may get better (i.e. more useful) mileage out of something like: pkg_version -vL= which will show you only what needs to be updated. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> it.canadahttp://www.it.ca/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
