More "end of the desktop PC"
by joehill-rieW9WUcm8FFJ04o6PK0Fg＠public.gmane.org 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

I've been reading articles like this for years now, in various forms proclaiming that the home desktop PC is a flawed and obsolete model, and that all of our software should be run from secure servers instead. Personally, they can take my desktop when they pry it from my cold dead hands, but I'm curious about how others see this issue. Of course there's nothing *inherantly* wrong with relinquishing some control to networked servers, but dare we trust our software when we don't have ultimate control over it locally, especially when we are talking about proprietary, closed source software that we cannot see what's "under the hood"?

Many Thanks, Learning is a wonderful thing. I had no idea I didn't need cat. I guess I'd only use it to append to a file as in cat >>, no? I considered the quotes but regrettfully never tried them. I definitely will not need so much sleep now. I use logwatch, but at the default level. I never attempted to customize it. It reports a number of things including lame servers, although I wish it would put a time-stamp on the lame server entries. Most of these are generated through Spamassassin MX lookups. My ultimate goal is to create some colorful charts and track some trends similar to this: http://farmer6re9.isa-geek.org/log.html ~141k w/image Thanks Again, farmer6re9 -- Eating Crow is better with MyCrowSauce -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

How about trying grep "DPT=22 " /var/log/messages.1 > somefile to see if that works. Alternatively you might try egrep to see if it can handle the \b for a space.

If you want to grep for DPT=22 followed by a space, then grep for it: grep 'DPT=22 ' file ^ space! Why do you pipe to "cat" and redirect? Direct redirection should also have the desired effect: grep 'DPT=22 ' file > dp22 The reason that grep DPT=22\> doesn't work is that the \> probably gets grabbed by your shell and handed to grep as a bare >, the \ being the shell escape character, so what grep actually sees is DPT=22>. Quote-protect the grep pattern so the shell doesn't mess around with it. grep 'DPT=22\>' file > dp22 Bonne chance, Andy -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Please, there must be an easier way... I am trying to automate my self induced weekly ADMIN duties. I mull through my logs on Sunday morning after rotation. They have gotten pretty big since the end of August so I sought a means to parse some files for information without having to scroll through 20,000 lines. One nagging problem for me is with grep. For example, if I: grep DPT=22 /var/log/messages.1 | cat > somefile somefile would contain not only DPT=22, but also all 220, 2276, 22344 or any port 22xxx. I tried the symbols \>, \b, \B thinking they would match the emptyness at the end of DPT=22 but they did not work for me. Laugh if you must but my solution to this dilema was to get DPT=22 by elimination using the invert switch -v like so: read DIRPATH mkdir $DIRPATH/DPT grep DPT=22 $DIRPATH/LOG | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/A grep -v DPT=220 $DIRPATH/DPT/A | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/B grep -v DPT=221 $DIRPATH/DPT/B | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/C grep -v DPT=222 $DIRPATH/DPT/C | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/D grep -v DPT=223 $DIRPATH/DPT/D | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/E grep -v DPT=224 $DIRPATH/DPT/E | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/F grep -v DPT=225 $DIRPATH/DPT/F | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/G grep -v DPT=226 $DIRPATH/DPT/G | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/H grep -v DPT=227 $DIRPATH/DPT/H | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/I grep -v DPT=228 $DIRPATH/DPT/I | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/J grep -v DPT=229 $DIRPATH/DPT/J | cat > $DIRPATH/DPT/dp22 echo "DPT=22" grep -c farm $DIRPATH/DPT/dp22 I search for about 40 ports both source and destination. Most high numbered ports don't require the elimination method like 8080 because 80800 doesn't exist. After I get the common ports catalogued, I hope to use diff to find what's left-over and flag those lines with same source and destination ports. Can I simplify the above and thus remove much of the sleep in the script? Shouldn't grep DPT=22\> work? That's what I'm seeing in the man page.
