It performs an immediate action and then exits. What action? Let's break it down -- sed : this is the command to be executed -i : this tells sed that it's going to be editing an existing file 1s : the start of the actual sed script. This means we're going to be doing 1 substitution .* : this is what we're going to be looking for, essentially any content on the line #!/usr/bin/perl -w : what the previous match will be replaced with check_sendmail.pl : The file that sed is going to be editing The end result is that sed would replace the entire first line of the file check_sendmail.pl, located in your current directory, with the text '#!/usr/bin/perl -w'. Your confusion is that the filename should have been check_mail.pl, not check_sendmail.pl. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
