In coreutils please refer to the README-hacking file for more detailed instructions. See this message for more information. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00109.html Are you trying to build GNU coreutils? You have not really said what it is that you are doing. It is hard to guess correctly with such little information available.

If you are building a copy from the latest development sources from git version control then follow the instructions in the README-hacking file. If you are trying to build GNU coreutils then I recommend that you use the latest stable release. It is the most self-contained and easiest to build. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.tar.gz.sig I observe that you are trying to build as root. That is not recommended. It is better to compile as a non-root user. Bob ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

There are lots of ways to do it, but none using just one single tool. Basically you will need to write some sort of script. For example, split the columns into separate files using cut or awk, sort the columns you need with sort, and then rejoin the columns with paste.

'sort -k2,2' will sort over just the contents of the second column, with ties broken by the overall line. 'info sort' will give you a better idea of all the flags that make sort so powerful. If, on the other hand, you want to extract a column, sort just that, then reinsert it back into the same location, you should look into cut and join, alongside sort. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Hi ..
Hi,
We use nohup command in Linux environment to start a process in back ground.
This process must run continuously until the process is killed. We notice that
the process is running fine for some time and then stops automatically on its
own. We have no clue how the process is stopped.
Is there any way to know why the process gets stopped on its own, is there any
Linux log will say that ? This process is running fine in Unix environment.
I use following command to start the process:
$ nohup ${CHECKIN_TOP}/scripts/mars_checkin_daemon.sh enter
I check if the process is running, I see it is running.
$ ps -ef|grep mars_check enter
marsdev 4572 1 3 Aug30 pts/001:40:32 /bin/ksh /d002/u17/app01/mard/ma
rsdev/scripts/mars_checkin_daemon.sh
marsdev 1417 4392 0 10:13 pts/000:00:00 grep mars_check
After say few hours when I check if the process is running, I see it is not
running.
$ ps -ef|grep mars_check enter
marsdev 1417 4392 0 10:13 pts/000:00:00 grep mars_check

We don't have a clue as to why your program is exiting either.

You will have to debug it. There is no way for us to know what is in
your script.
There are many differences between systems. Writing portable scripts
can be a challenge at times. If this behaves differently between two
different systems then it is obviously sensitive in some way to the
underlying system differences.
I use following command to start the process:
$ nohup ${CHECKIN_TOP}/scripts/mars_checkin_daemon.sh enter
I check if the process is running, I see it is running.
$ ps -ef|grep mars_check enter
marsdev 4572 1 3 Aug30 pts/001:40:32 /bin/ksh
/d002/u17/app01/mard/marsdev/scripts/mars_checkin_daemon.sh
Unfortunately as you can see it is still associated with a tty
device. In this case pts/0. Before job control a unix task could be
placed in the background with nohup as you show and that would be
fine. But on job control systems this is no longer sufficient. On
job control systems the process is still attached to the tty. You
should disassociate from the controlling terminal. The Perl Cookbook
if I recall correctly has an example of doing this. But I don't have
a copy handy to look.
After say few hours when I check if the process is running, I see it is not
running.
$ ps -ef|grep mars_check enter
marsdev 1417 4392 0 10:13 pts/000:00:00 grep mars_check
The process has apparently exited. You will have to debug it.
There is nothing we can do here to help you with this.
Bob
