Sysdef command in Solaris 10.

Hi All,
sysdef command in Solaris 10 ( 5.10, s10_58 ) no more reports the message queue related Kernel
parameters i.e msgsys:msginfo_msgmax ( MSGMAX ) etc. For more info refer the link below :
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-7137/6md5paukq?a=view
Since sysdef command no more reports the above parameters, what is the other way we can get the
same in Solaris 10? We have written our script in such a way that it greps for MSGMAX from the outcome
of sysdef and gets its value and perform certain operations. Quick reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We have written our script in such
a way that it greps for MSGMAX from the outcome
of sysdef and gets its value and perform certain
operations. Quick reply would be greatly appreciated.msgmax (maximum per-message size) has been removed completely -- there is no equivalent on Solaris 10. Instead, the
maximum total bytes on the queue, process.max-msg-qbytes (previously msginfo_msgmnb) is the only restriction on what can be placed in a SysV message queue.
To retrieve the current value of this in a script, you can use:prctl -P -n process.max-msg-qbytes -t privileged $$ | tail -1 | read x x value x x xNote that this is no longer a system-wide tunable -- the administrator can control this on a per-project basis. (see projects(1))

Cannot run zpool (zfs feature) command in Solaris 10 6/06

Hi, I couldnt run ZPOOL command in Solaris 10 6/06. It said command not found.
May I know what should I do? My Solaris 10 version provide Solaris zoning features, but no ZFS feature provided.
How?

check your PATH- the zpool command is in the /usr/sbin directory.
Also, double check you have the zfs packages-
#pkginfo | grep zfs
system SUNWzfskr ZFS Kernel (Root)
system SUNWzfsr ZFS (Root)
system SUNWzfsu ZFS (Usr)

A Unix question: grep command

Hi all,
I have a directory which contains more directories, and each directory has more directories inside, which in turn may or may not contain Java files. I need to use the grep command in the way that from the first directory goes into the directories recursively, finds the Java files and tell me what files have the PATTERN= "Basic Import Validation".
I used the grep like this, but guess its wrong since haven't received any response so far. Can sb. please tell me if I've used the command correctly or how should I change it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
dir> grep -r --include="Basic Import Validation" *.java

I gues the reason this isn't working for you isthat
-r means "process all subdirectories of any
directories listed in the command line args."
grep never sees the *.java that you supply. Theshell
grabs that and expands it to list all the .javafiles
in the pwd.If you can, would you please explain a little more,
what you meant by above?
grep whatever *.java When you type that command, your shell (bash, zsh, ksh, tcsh, etc.) is the program that receives that string on its standard input--like Java's System.in. The shell sees *.java and expands it into a list of all the .java files in the current directory. Then the shell invokes grep, and passes on the list of those java files.
But the list of .java files in the pwd has nothing to do with any java files that might be in subdirs.
If you use the -r arg, it seems that, in the list of "files" (where you put *.java), if any of those "files" are in fact directories, then -r means to look in files in that dir and its subdirs, rather than treating that arg as a file to examine.
So you'd put . (dot) as your current dir, and then use the --include to tell grep which files to process and which to ignore.
I'm sure about the shell expanding *.java. I'm not completely sure about my interpretation of -r and --include, but I'm pretty confident that's right.
As you said, the way I used grep, didn't return any
result. Your solution however, gave me results and
found the Java files containing the PATTERN. Thanks a
lot.You're welcome.
If you're still interested, it's probably worth trying out my slight modification to your original solution. If it works, it's a bit cleaner and simpler.

Grep Command in Linux

Hi all,
I having problem getting the output of grep command in Linux (Red Hat 9.0).
At the same time, I am able to get the output of cat command.
Using the output of cat command, I am writing it to a text file and then in another process using grep I am extracting particular line from the text file.
To get the Process Output I am using a code from http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/1092#thread.
Below is my code.
public void getUSBInfo() {
       try{
              String catCommand = "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices";
              System.out.println("catCommand is : "+catCommand);
              Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(catCommand);
              usbInfoBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
              InputStream inStream = p.getInputStream();
              new InputStreamHandler( usbInfoBuffer, inStream );
                              // InputStreamHandler is the class used to read the console output.
              StringBuffer errBuffer = new StringBuffer();
              InputStream errStream = p.getErrorStream();
              new InputStreamHandler( errBuffer , errStream );
              p.waitFor();
              catCommandOutput = usbInfoBuffer.toString();
              System.out.println("USB Info : " +catCommandOutput);
              String fileCat ="/EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt";
              File catCommandOutputFile = new File(fileCat);
              boolean filesuccess = catCommandOutputFile.createNewFile();
              setContents(catCommandOutputFile,catCommandOutput);
              extractUSBInfo();
              }catch(Exception e) {
             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Exception occured executing Native Method..catCommand.."                                         ,epname,JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);                                    System.out.println("File Exception No 6" +e);
public void extractUSBInfo() {
     try {
          String filename = " /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt";
          String grepCommand = "grep \"P:\\|S:\""+filename ;
           //String[] grepCommand = new String[]{"grep", "\"P:\\|S:\"", "/EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt"};
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(grepCommand);
          usbExtractedInfoBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
          InputStream inStream = p.getInputStream();
          new InputStreamHandler( usbExtractedInfoBuffer, inStream );
          StringBuffer errBuffer = new StringBuffer();
          InputStream errStream = p.getErrorStream();
          new InputStreamHandler( errBuffer , errStream );
          p.waitFor();
          String Output = usbExtractedInfoBuffer.toString();
          System.out.println("grepCommand is    : " +grepCommand);
          System.out.println("Searched USB Info : " +Output);
      }catch(Exception e) {
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Exception occured executing Native Method..grepCommand..."                               ,epname,JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);                                    System.out.println("File Exception No 7" +e);
      }I am not getting any IOException. The output of System.out.println("Searched USB Info : " +Output); is blank.
If I try shell> grep "P:\|S:" /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt, I get the desired output.
What could be the reason ? While using cat command I am getting the output , but grep command is
returning blank. I even tried String array[] for exec() command, but still get blank.
Where and what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jay.

Hi asjf,
Thanks a lot... The problem is finally solved.
String exeCommand = "grep P:\\|S: "+filename; I removed the quotes and it worked. But if I
remove backslash for the pipe symbol nothing happens..as I get return value of 1.
Output after removing quotes :
exeCommand is : grep P:\|S: /EthicsPoint/usbInfo.txt
Exit Value is : 0
USB Info : P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=ce84b000
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=ce849000But I have noticed another problem. If I execute the aplication number of times, eventhough
the exit value is 0, USB Info : is blank. This happens sometimes. Sometimes I get the correct output.
What could be the reason ?
Thanks to you and all who have replied to my queries....Thanks a lot.....Really appreciate the time and effort.
Regards,
Jay.

I have a batch file which will return status of the Database to a file ex: "OPEN". Now I want to read this output file and check for the "OPEN" string from another batch file. any suggestions?. This is similar to "grep" command in unix. I want this to be done in windows batch file.
This is my actual batch file
rem -- Description: Check whether the Database is UP
rem -- Usage:
rem -- ORACLE_SID is input parameter for the file
rem --

How to Setup an ACL over a Command in solaris 2.6

Hi all,
Has anyone have an idea on how to setup an ACL over a command
in solaris 2.6 . i.e: to force a user (or a group) to enter a
password to run a command (like mount and others).
Thanks for your help.
haed98.
[email protected]

Hi head98,
You can set ACL using setfacl commands. This way you can exclusively assign read/write/execute permissions on command that you wish. But ACL doesn't prompt for passwords or you can set passwords using ACL. One way of doing this will be to create wrapper for commands which will prompt for passwd, compare them with /etc/shadow and then execute the real command.
Hope this helps, Thanks. SUN/DTS

Is there a way to give two different regular expressions in a Grep command?

I am trying to search message logs from CLI. My search query which involves a regular expression is giving thousands of results. We need to further filter the results using another regular expression. Please let me know if we can put two regular expressions in the search query.
Below is how I use grep command: Can I use multiple regular expression separated by a "|" (pipe) symbol
Enter the regular expression to grep.
[]> MID 123456

No - unfortunately - from the CLI on the ESA/SMA - the 'grep' command is not as intuitive as the unix/linux 'grep'. You would need to push logs off appliance, and then take advantage of an external OS in order to parse through the logs as definitively needed.

Is there chatr command for solaris??

Hi Everybody,
In HP-UX, I use chatr command for finding the library dependencies and for changing their flags dynamically.
Can you please let me know if there is any such command in solaris 10??
I know ldd command, but it does not allow me to change the library loading flags.
Thanks in advance
Durga Prasad

Solaris will always use your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the location of your dynamic libraries. If you haven't defined any LD_LIBRARY_PATH the systems settings are used instead. You may alter the default settings of your system by running the crle utility.
As far as i understand; if you build a static library under Solaris, the executable will actually contain the static libraries which you linked into it so it won't have to load external libraries.

Grep command - binary file

When using the grep command for the mail_logs file I sometimes receive the message "Binary file (standard input) matches."
This does not always happen. Sometimes I'm able to use grep and receive the expected results. The problem seems to come and go.
Doing it via the command line or stepping through the setup (i.e. grep > 14 (mail_logs) > expression > ...) will show the same "Binary file (standard input) matches" message.
Thank you for any help ahead of time.

Grep command has lost the "-P" option

The grep command has lost the "-P" option. It now supports a non-standard "-p" option that doesn't work on previous versions of OS X or Linux. It also doesn't support the long form version of "--perl-regexp". Any portable solutions?
In addition, the command line usage still shows "-P" as an option, but the man page doesn't list it.

Grep command to achieve the following - Almost got it

Hi
I have been on here before and received great help with grep styles but have one that I can't find a solution for from online resources
I am using the following grep command to add a descriptor to a event.
My text looks like this
9.00     Football
Grep command is
(\d+\.\d+\t)(Football)(.*\r.+\r)
$1$2$3Play football.\r
Which acheives...
9.00     Football
            Play football
Problem is
Some of the titles are
9.00   Sunday Football
9.00   Junior Football
9.00   Junior 5 a side Football
I ideally need a grep command that will do exactly the same but ignore Sunday, Junior, Junior 5 a side (but leave it in) I can't add extra greps as there are too many
Is there a command that will find the digits (ignore everthing until football) and add the descriptor
Hopefuly it is just a little addition to the grep but I can't find a solution
Any help much appreciated

I'm a little unclear
when starting with:
9.00   Sunday Football
9.00   Junior Football
9.00   Junior 5 a side Football
what do you want the result to be? This, or something else--
9.00   Sunday Football
          Play Football
9.00   Junior Football
          Play Football
9.00   Junior 5 a side Football
          Play Football

CLI grep command in AsyncOS 4.5

A late addition to AsyncOS 4.5 was the CLI "grep" command. Yes, it is a "hidden" command and we would like input from IronPort Nation on whether this is useful and what additions they would like to see to it. Here are a brief set of examples on its use:
boxster.mfg> help grep
grep -e regexp [-e regexp] [-i] [-p] [-t] log_name
Run the Unix grep command over the named log file.
Normally the grep will be run over all files in the
named log subscription. Using the -t option will run
the grep over a tail of the log file. Using the -i
option will ignore case sensitivities. Using the -p
option will paginate the output.
regexp - an extended grep expression
log_name - the name of the log file
Manually using grep will look like this:
boxster.mfg> grep

(Been away from IPN for a while, catching up).
As a long time Unix sysadmin, I'm also a little frustrated by the locked down nature of AsyncOS, especially since I know that under the hood it's my particular Unix flavor of choice. For example, when I see the CPU stuck at or near 100%, I really want to fire up "top" and see what's soaking up the CPU. I had that problem recently and needed to make a tech support call for what turned out to be something I could have diagnosed myself had I just been able to use "top". I've also had times when direct access to "netstat" and "ifconfig -a" would have saved me a lot of trouble (like when someone changed the duplex setting on the switch port).
That said, I know that IronPort has some valuable intellectual property to protect from prying eyes. But it seems to me that a compromise could be reached. We don't need to be able to peek under every rock in order to have much improved sysadmin abilities.
Oh yeah, I like the "grep" command. :-) I've been wishing for that for quite a while.
