cat?
id like to append something to the beginning of each line on a file. e.g. from - contents of file netscape.com yahoo.com altavista.com redhat.com to - newfile or existing file www.netscape.com www.yahoo.com www.altavista.com www.redhat.com ( further more ) only entries beginning with a - netscape.com yahoo.com www.altavista.com redhat.com - scripting seems to complicated! thanks for your help! __ Do you Yahoo!?

crontab shell?
hi, im using this command to parse squid's log files. cat /usr/local/squidlog/access.log.0 | calamaris -a -w >/var/www/html/calamaris/`date +%m%d%y`.html this works when typed. however when the line is inserted in crontab ( crontab -e ) it doesnt work.. here's the error message... --- cat /usr/local/squidlog/access.log.0 |calamaris -a -w >/var/www/html/calamaris/`date + /bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' /bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file --- what happens? is crontab using a different shell? (?! ). can this be done without saving the whole line into a file then calling for it from crontab? thanks __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: how to automatically put files on all /home/user directories
hey mark, i was attempting to setup mail quotas. i couldnt make quota turn on with /var. since the mail is stored there, i wanted mail to be "diverted" into /home. i found a thread saying that i should put "mail.txt" file on the home directory so pine would pull it out /var/spool/mail when the user starts pine. the suggested things worked i think... until our consultant kindly told me that putting mail into /home would pose different kinds of problems.. like imap, pop3 problems in the future. i had no idea that it could potentially cause some problems! so he told me to try and setup quota's on /var. anyway it still wuldnt work, until we used we used force with quota. anyway mail and home directories will have separate quota's now i think. i still dont know how to transfer hundreds of users to the new server. i think i can just copy the /home right? hope that works! i just really started this job ( my first ) so sorry if i sound like a newbie. lol, i am! thanks, mark the struggling-network-admin-wannabe --- Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Y'know, this is a little bit late, and I certainly > haven't followed the whole > thread, but as an experienced sysadmin, my first > question is why do you > *need* to put the file in every user's home > directory?

Re: how to automatically put files on all /home/user directories
thanks, i can use that too! but i have another 500+ existing users, and it may take a bit of time to use "touch" for every /home/user directory... is there a way to do that? thank you! :) --- Chris Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > put it in /etc/skel - I think > Only works when you crreate the user. > > On Mon, 2002-09-02 at 20:11, smoke wrote: > > hi, > > > > how do i put the same file on all the user's home > > directories. > > > > > > > > thanks > > > > __ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!
