string manipulation in a shell script
Hi guys and Gals, I have a simple script: #!/bin/sh a=ia$(date +%d%m%Y) tar -cf $a.zip /usr/home/projects/lunaria/items all mv $a.zip /usr/home/itemsall/ this nearly does what I want, I would like to put the time in the file name aswell. If I put the %T in the date variable, the resultant value for $a has : seperating the hours, minutes and seconds. Try as I might, I can not find away to remove the : and tar spits the dummy at them and it causes an IO device error. I looked through sed and awk, and spent an hour playing, but all to no avail. Anyhelp apreciated, Regards, Kat. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyhelp apreciated, Well, to get date(1) to spit out a date-time string without any unfortunate punctuation, try something like: % date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S See strftime(3) for details of all the % escapes you can use with date(1). On the other hand, tar(1) has an option --force-local which causes it to ignore colons in filenames as indicating a remote tape drive. Nb. that's gnu tar, which is the standard tar in all 4.x and any 5.x-RELEASE -- 5.2-CURRENT will shortly switch to bsdtar, and that will probably work differently. Thanks Matthew, I looked in date, but was not aware of strftime. This is exactly what I needed :) Regards, Kat. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Networking problem
I have a friend who can not get his FreeBSD 5.2 server to act as a gateway, from the internal network we can ping the external network card, but no further. From the server we can ping the entire world. I had him bring it over and set up my server (FreeBSD 4.8R as the gateway) so I now have: ISPMy Server---his Server---laptop From the laptop I can ping as far as the external nic on his server. From his server I can ping the world. I have googled, looked at the mailing list, but can not find the problem :o( I have re installed the server, incase he goofed up, same problem, I have swapped the external network card, same problem. Netstat -rn shows the default gateway (as my server) In rc.conf it has gateway_enable=YES I am out of ideas Regards, Kat. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Google ist your friend: Searching for FreeBSD ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory yielded: OK this was all a red herring :o( The fault turned out to be that in BIOS I had USB support for legacy KBD/MOUSE/FDD enabled. Then the installer hung while I had an ATMEL USB development board plugged in, and also a MGE USB UPS. So it looks like the install loader hangs on USB devices that are not generic (USB HP ScanJet 5200C, Aopen optical USB mouse and M$ USB keyboard are ok) Installing the 5.2 Boot Loader trashed Win XP, but a rebuild fixed win XP with no loss of data (but I had the data backed up anyway) and I installed GAG boot loader so I could dual boot.
