Over the holiday, I took the opportunity to do a long-overdue hardware and
OS upgrade of my home Mailman server. I'd been running Mac OS X 10.3.9
(!), and moved to a slightly-less-antique box running Mac OS X 10.5.1.
Mostly, everything went smoothly, but there were a few minor gotchas. One
was with mmdsr.sh, and I thought I might save some others the headache of
figuring this out. I was getting errors from the 'sort' invocation in the
line that produces the "Hourly Summary of Posts":
$SED -e 's/^[A-Z][a-z][a-z] *[0-9]* //' -e 's/:.*$//' $TMPLOG | $UNIQ -c |
$SORT -n +1 | $AWK '{ printf( "%8d %02d:00-%02d:59\n", $1, $2, $2 ) }' >>
$TMP
It turns out that according to:
<http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Darwin/RN-Unix03Conformance/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004772-DontLinkElementID_5>
'sort' no longer supports the form 'sort +POS1 -POS2', instead needint the
form 'sort -k POS1,POS2'. Of course, In that form POS1 and POS2 are
1-based rather than 0-based. So the 'sort' part of mmdsr.sh line above
becomes, instead,
$SORT -n -k 2
Hope this saves someone some head scratching...
