True, but what columns is your awk going after? The problem is that 'df' output isn't standard. You get different output on AIX than Linux and *BSD, not sure about Solaris or HPUX. So that's what POSIX is for. :) Yes i've been bitten by this before... my solution was to add -P to all the broken scripts haha. I do agree that the multi-line df output caused by the default RedHat LVM is quite aggravating. I've run into similar problems with vmstat/iostat output being different between Linux kernels and other Unices. Unfortunately i haven't found a -P flag for vmstat. ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
