Hello (I'm no hard core coder:), I try to develop a script to do some very basic monitoring on an IBM SVC. My goal is to get some information about the nodes and my quroum status and then send this information by mail. here's my code so far (I understood that grep command doesn't "work" on CLI for SVC). #check nodes of the cluster with lsnodes and parse status ssh admin@SVCName superuser>svcinfo lsnode | while read id name sn wwnn status temp;do echo $name" "$status;done #check quorum status with lsquorum and parse status ssh admin@SVCName superuser>svcinfo lsquorum | while read quorum_index status id name controller_id controller_name active temp; do echo $controller_name" "$active;done My problem is sending an email from the CLI to designed users. I don't find any valuable information anywhere on the internet. HINT: this script will be deployed on a jumppoint server (probably a windows server) in production, I cannot allow the installation of any exectution environment such as cigwin or perl or anything). Could you help me with that ?

the content of some folder is like that: Folder name is empty File name is asterisk I can find inode of these file and folder OS - z/OS OMVS, so, there is no option -delete on find command How can I safely delete these? If there is no safe way, I can leave it as it is.

I have to open a tar file. I used the following command line on my Unix shell: tar xfvz raw-GWA-data.tgz I found the following error message: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Then, I tried the following command lines: tar -xvzf raw-GWA-data.tgz tar --extract --file raw-GWA-data.tgz tar xzf raw-GWA-data.tgz tar -xf raw-GWA-data.tgz and I found the same error without the possibility of opening my tar file. What's wrong? There're alternative ways to open my tar file?

Today morning asking the admin of our server if they could install a library that is missing to run our python code. The answer war, they couldnt do that cause: *"This library is not included in standard RHEL distribution"* What does it means ? Why is the reason cause that library is not include and all the othes do ?

In linux, I can do this echo "hello" > a.txt awk 'sub("l", "x" )' a.txt hexlo But if I do it on Qshell, I get: echo "hello" > a.txt awk 'sub("l", "x" )' a.txt awk: 0602-562 Field $($ I have no idea of what's going on, cannot find much about awk on qshell online. Please help...

I want to tail a log file in Unix system services on a Mainframe LPAR that needs a ASCII to EBCDIC conversion?

My particular situation isn't on a Linux box, rather an IBM i. But I'm running RPM within a BASH shell and attempted to download and install nano using RPM - it failed. I didn't think anything of it, but now I'm noticing authority failures to the RPM download directory whenever I restart my web server instance. I'm pulling at strings by now, but my best guess is that RPM is attempting to retry the failed download/install every time I restart the web server instance. I understand IBM i and Linux are different, but from a Linux standpoint, Does RPM automatically retry failed download/install attempts? If not, does it do anything in the event of a failed download/install beyond an error message stating it failed? **Note***: I really don't think RPM requires a web server to function, but like I said I'm just pulling on any string I can think of at the moment.

I read the history of Unix operating system and also read the original Unix paper by Thompson and Ritchie. In their paper they mention some key features which Unix uses. Some terminologies including file handling (read, write, ...), process management (fork, ...), user access controls (super user, permissions, ...), were defined and explained in that paper. My question is, were those words and terminologies really new at that time (1974)? If the answer is yes, then how were mainframes working before Unix? I mean how IBM OS/360 was working? Didn't they (IBM guys) use file and processes for batch jobs and storing information? If the answer is no, then what was really new in Unix?!

With a: dsmc b image FSNAMEHERE I can back up all the filesystem in a machine. But how can I restore it? Boot off a liveCD, install TSM client somehow, then restore image backup to local disk? OS is a redhat.

The short, general question is: In Unix/Linux, what is the best way to find a list of several (about 150) strings within a large text file? I am asking this to all Unix/Linux experts as a general question, in the hopes that I can find a solution that pertains to my particular case: I have a feeling this is going to take a little tinkering. I have a large text file (actually, an MVS dataset) on an IBM Unix System Services (USS) machine-- I believe it is somewhere around 6GB. I also have a list of about 150 5-character identifiers in the format AAAAA that I need to find within this file-- that is, I'd like to extract rows from the file that contain any one of the 150 the specific identifers that I am looking for. The format of each line in the large file is: 00000000000A00000000000000000AAAAA\n where 0 represents a digit, and A represents an alphanumeric character. The string that I'm searching for is always at the end of the row. Working with datasets seems to be a little awkward in USS, and I am not able to copy it over into the Unix environment because it is too large. The standard Unix utilities don't all operate on datasets (dd for example); however sed, awk, and grep seem to work to some degree (although the command line switches seem to be a bit different). I can grep the dataset as follows: cat "//'MVS.DATASET'" | grep -e"LOOKFOR1" -e"LOOKFOR2" -e"LOOKFOR3" > output_to_file.txt However, it won't allow me to grep for all 150 items on one line; I could split it up and run it several times, but I feel like there should a better way. I tried using a sed script as follows, but I don't know sed at all, and I got an error that said "garbage after command". I saved the following in a file sed-script.txt: s/AAA01/&/p s/AAA30/&/p s/AAA10/&/p ... etc ... and then ran sed -f sed-script.txt "//'MVS.DATASET'" Again, this failed with "sed: FSUM7294 garbage after command". So, 1. How would one normally tackle this problem in the "average" Unix environment, and 2. Do you have any specific insights to this particular case?

What is the right the procedure to set the numfsbufs parameter? The current value of the parameter is 196 App_Server:>ioo -o numfsbufs numfsbufs = 196 The details of the server (prtconf command) are at http://dpaste.com/1317430/ We want to change the value of numfsbufs parameter to 512 This is based on the analysis of increasing value of I/O blocked 52534 pending disk I/Os blocked with no pbuf 0 paging space I/Os blocked with no psbuf 2228 filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf 0 client filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf 313699 external pager filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf The command to do this is ioo -p -o numfsbufs=512 What I am not sure about is how to handle the mount/unmount of Volume Groups Do i need to mount and unmount each and every file system? Or can i just restart the server after setting this variable and it will take care of itself The link at http://dpaste.com/1317412/ shows the various volume groups. Please guide as I am confused what the procedure should be. The system administrators are asking a detailed set of instruction and hence I am trying to work out a document detailing the various steps.
