Re: OT - Shutting down an RS/6000 ?

Hi, Bryan:

Ha!  Sorry to make you spin your wheels on that one.  (Actually, I can't
see how you got it to work; I didn't give awk a filename to read).  Yes,
I'm sure that can be done on iSeries.  I didn't say what I meant, though. I
was thinking more along the lines of "from the standard command line."
Anyway, the code WILL work (correctly, with the pipe through more) on any
POSIX shell.  The result will be that it lists all files named in field 3
of any record that contains "files:" somewhere within it, and will use the
last one as a generic name.  I doubt that on iSeries you'll get compatible
results.  Didn't say you can't muck with it and make it kinda work.  :)

ls $(awk '/files:/ {print $3}' somefile | sed 's/a/z/g')* | more

BTW: You might prove me wrong (surprising me a little) because I can't test
   this at present.  Current client (whose internal auditing department
   fears the unknown and therefore all aspects of AS/400) feels that QSH is
   an open invitation to security breech, and has therefore prohibited
   installation of that OS feature.  For any reason.  Next topic?  (sigh)

Dennis,  I went ahead and tried your example (below).  I got it to work
just changing a couple of  things.

First got rid of "more" and the double quotes.  Also re-made the symbolic
link from the gawk program to awk.

This on V5R1 and QSH

Each has its limitations; each has its advantages.  Try:
   ls "$(awk '/files:/ {print $3}' | sed 's/a/z/g')*" | more
on your iSeries system.
