| 09:17.08 | mozrat | Morning Leeds, edward globbitz |
| 09:17.50 | Leeds | morning mozzie |
| 09:18.02 | eye69 | Morning. |
| 09:18.08 | mozrat | hey eye69 |
| 09:18.22 | mozrat | bash scripting problem..... |
| 09:18.34 | mozrat | messageids=(`grep matt.hall mail.log | awk '{print $6}' | grep -v LOGIN | grep -v LOGOUT | grep -v NOQUEUE | grep -v DISCONNECTED | tr '\n' ' '` ) |
| 09:18.43 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
| 09:18.53 | mozrat | do |
| 09:19.11 | mozrat | grep '$id' mail.log >> summary.txt |
| 09:19.12 | mozrat | done |
| 09:19.36 | mozrat | I was actually doing some more complex stuff after that grep, but just to get it working at all I took it out |
| 09:19.58 | mozrat | messageids does indeed get all the message ID's (using awk '{print $6}' |
| 09:20.18 | mozrat | if I manually grep for a message ID and then append to summary.txt it works |
| 09:20.28 | mozrat | if I run it inside the bash script summary.txt is always empty |
| 09:26.59 | Leeds | are you sure the format of the contents of messageids is coming out right? |
| 09:28.23 | mozrat | Yes, I added some echo lines.. for example echo $id within the loop |
| 09:28.33 | mozrat | copied that and used it to grep - worked fine |
| 09:29.07 | mozrat | plus I have the old incrementing counter as well |
| 09:29.12 | mozrat | so here is a line of output |
| 09:29.13 | mozrat | 0DB7939A379: |
| 09:29.13 | mozrat | line 81 |
| 09:29.44 | mozrat | grep 0DB7939A379: mail.log |
| 09:29.56 | mozrat | Mar 30 00:19:31 robinreliant postfix/smtpd[7495]: 0DB7939A379: client=mail51.uptilt.com[208.48.84.51] |
| 09:30.14 | mozrat | so grepping seems to work - but not when doing it from within the bash script |
| 09:30.27 | Leeds | I assume the appending has nothing to do with it - it still fails if you just send the output to stdout |
| 09:31.30 | mozrat | It does not |
| 09:31.56 | mozrat | as in taking away the >> redirection doesn't direct to the screen |
| 09:32.39 | mozrat | sorry - talking myself in knots - yes it still fails when sending the output to stdout |
| 09:33.52 | Leeds | put an echo before the grep, for sanity - make sure it's doing what we think it's doing |
| 09:34.07 | morsing | What's it all about? |
| 09:34.48 | mozrat | grep '497EF39A34B:' mail.log |
| 09:34.48 | mozrat | line 268 |
| 09:34.48 | mozrat | grep 'D236539A34B:' mail.log |
| 09:34.49 | mozrat | line 269 |
| 09:35.06 | mozrat | morsing: parsing a mail log file trying to find all messages sent to a certain user |
| 09:35.27 | mozrat | Leeds, appears to do what it should |
| 09:35.52 | mozrat | If I run that exact command from the shell I get some respons |
| 09:35.54 | Leeds | any particular reason for the ''? |
| 09:35.59 | mozrat | no |
| 09:36.10 | Leeds | try without :-) |
| 09:36.40 | mozrat | works :) |
| 09:36.54 | mozrat | why would it behave differently between interactive bash and scripted bash |
| 09:37.12 | Leeds | when you type '' on the command line, it gets eaten by the shell before it gets to grep |
| 09:37.22 | Leeds | when you have it in a script, it can make it through to grep |
| 09:37.25 | Leeds | maybe... dunno |
| 09:38.09 | mozrat | I see |
| 09:38.11 | mozrat | thanks Leeds |
| 09:38.21 | mozrat | here's an amusing fact about my last 2 days |
| 09:38.30 | mozrat | yesterday I went to Amsterdam |
| 09:38.34 | mozrat | from City airport |
| 09:38.42 | mozrat | from home to office in about 2hr 10m |
| 09:38.46 | mozrat | Today I went to work |
| 09:39.09 | mozrat | from home to office in about 2hr 5m - thanks to the district line |
| 09:39.13 | mozrat | how does that work out??? |
| 09:39.19 | mozrat | should I work in Amsterdam? |
| 09:39.27 | Leeds | heh |
| 09:39.29 | eye69 | Ask mr Livingstone |
| 09:40.12 | Leeds | give it a year or two and it'll be cheaper to commute to Amsterdam |

| 10:55.56 | Leeds | well, that's interesting... the new Dell 24inch widescreen TFT I've been lusting after - it's £850 if you're "home or home office" or £650 if you're "medium & large business" |

| 11:21.40 | infodroid | Leeds: I would consider a dual-head display for a workstation. I would think you would get a lot of dead pixels on that 24 inch and perhaps a crap refresh rate. |
