The error is obvious: You need to transition $filename from
the sh level into the awk script, i. e. the file name string
(in your example, "/var/no.txt") must be visible inside the
awk script. You're using a variable called filename which
is uninitialized (empty). You can either define the file
name statically in the awk script, or use ${filename} in
the script (use double quotes to allow resolution).
Also note that $0 is the name by which the script has been
called. $1 is the 1st parameter.

So (a) there's only one input file, not multiple... and (b) it should
come from the command line of the shell script wrapper. Right?
> awk 'getline no < filename; print no'
If there's only one input file, then this is super easy and you
don't even need any of the getline or close stuff. Try:
filename=$1
awk '{no = $0; print no;}' $filename
In the shell script context (outside the awk), $1 refers to the first
command line parameter of the script. You don't want $0 there.
On the other hand, *inside* the awk part, dollar-sign variables have
a completely different meaning. $0 in *awk* (not sh) means "the entire
contents of each line of the input file". So if your file had multiple
lines, that block would run multiple times. But since I'm guessing your
file only has one line (that being the number in question), the awk
block will only run once.

FreeBSD/EC2 -9.0-Current 2011-01-01 (ami-f4db2a9d)
I'm working my way through a re-education for EC2. I read a lot of posts but find it confusing to keep up with the current state of the art as to what information is applicable and what is not: 1. I had convinced myself that I was being told that I had to use a Windows instance but then found this AMI. It launched for T1.micro, always with the note that it was available for the free-tier which is important to me. Have I been too optimistic or is it, indeed, running with the free-tier restrictions? 2. Unfortunately, after I had spent a couple of hours on installing ports, I installed pkgng. It seemed to install OK but then when I ran pkg2ng it didn't work throwing the following error message twice. /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "Quiet" referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/sbin/pkg_info. and then ... Conversion has been successfully finished Your old packages database has been moved to: /var/db/pkg.bak There is no sign of a pkg.bak anywhere on the machine and, of course, pkg_* tools don't work. /var/db/pkg is still fully populated with what looks like the correct files. There is also no perl installed So my question is "Is there any way I can recover pkg_* tools or get pkgng to function? With only a couple of hours in it, I'm tempted to just start over and use one of the RELEASE AMIs. 3. I also noted a thread where Colin Percival talked about an initial launch as c1.medium to set things up and then restarting as t1.micro. Won't this trigger a minimum bill for 1 month being added to my free-tier $0.00? Thanks for any help responses to get me pointed in the right direction. -- Jim Flowers ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Or more verbose:
#!/bin/sh
filename=$1
echo "file is ${filename} with content:"
cat ${filename}
echo "calling awk..."
awk "BEGIN {
getline no < \"${filename}\"
close \"${filename}\"
print no
print no * 2
}"
# EXAMPLE:
#
#
# % ./awkvar.sh /tmp/no.txt
# file is /tmp/no.txt with content:
# 12345
# calling awk...
# 12345
# 24690
The example shows how to use the variable inside awk. You
could get rid of the getline function in case the file
contains only the number you're interested in. If you need
further processing of the file, you can do that inside
awk (e. g. omitting comment lines, obtain data from a given
line number of specific pattern).

Yours is a different issue with utx.log. It is not syslog that updates utx.log but the various programs like login(1) or sshd(8) that actually handle the authentication when you try and log in. Most applications achieve that via the pam_lastlog(8) module. As to why you cannot see anything in the file beyond a certain point: perhaps the file data got corrupted in the middle? You might be able to tell by examining the file with hd(1) or getent(1) -- try: getent utmpx log /var/log/utx.log You might also fine the getutxent(3) man page enlightening.

Curious question about using zfs send -R and receive on FreeBSD
I recently migrated a machine that was built on a VM to physical hardware using the zfs send -R option against a snapshot of its root zfs setup. I went from smaller drives to larger, both using a mirrored zpool. However the devices were different, the device IDs on the VM were da0 and da1, the device IDs on the physical hardware were ada0 and ada1. I had used labels when creating the gpt layout to plan for this. And all worked great, in fact it was the fastest I have ever converted a virtual machine to a physical machine. After I finished though, I got curious, was it actually necessary for me to mount the new boot zfs partition while running on the live cd and copy the zpool.cache file I had created when creating the zpool or would have the existing cache file that would have been included in the zfs send contained the right information? As the zpool was pointed at the gpt label devices, or was the fact that the size changed enough difference that copying the file was indeed necessary? -- Thanks, Dean E.

FreeBSD as VMWare guest / disk resizing
Hello everyone - I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already existing disk has grown. I have FreeBSD running as a guest within vSphere ESX 5. Here is the output of camcontrol showing how the disks are detected within the OS: [root@QA1HWFBSD83201 ~]# camcontrol inquiry da0 pass0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device pass0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Command Queueing Enabled In the VM settings I can increase the disk size but I can't seem to find the right command within FreeBSD to force it to detect the new, larger size without a reboot. 'camcontrol rescan all' works great to detect a new drive but doesn't detect a larger disk. Within a Linux distribution like Debian, the following command will detect the larger drive: echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan I apologize if this has been answered in the archives or online but I just haven't been able to get a definitive answer if this is possible, and how.

Re: FreeBSD as VMWare guest / disk resizing
It can be done but it's not easy and not pretty. You'll have to rewrite the partition scheme to grow *only* the last partition and then use growfs on the last partition to zero the new inodes within its newly defined range. You'll of course need to boot from another medium to do this. I usually use DruidBSD for this: DruidBSD-1.0b1.iso (a tiny 23.5MB ISO that you can write to thumb disk with dd or burn to cd; either works fine) Boot from it and use the tools like "disklabel -e /dev/yourdisk" But… be extremely careful and do your mathematics! I know this isn't a complete step-by-step guide, but I wanted to get the answer out there that this is possible and it's a known quantity, but it can be dangerous if you get the math wrong when editing the disklabel positions, for example. If you can get that part right, the rest is easy (growfs). -- Devin On Dec 17, 2012, at 4:15 PM, Luke Bakken wrote: > Hello everyone - > > I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already > existing disk has grown.

Re: Partitioning - please not that again
Several trials failed, but perhaps the kind of issues do lead to the cause. I'll describe one trial.

i386 vs. amd64
Ever since 8.X (my system is now 9.1-RC3 [done via csup]) been using i386 with the following main ports: x11-wm/xfce4 www/firefox www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 editors/libreoffice www/tomcat-7 www/apace22 devel/aegis (I am the maintainer) devel/fhist devel/cook java/openjdk6 emulation/virtualbox-ose (and additions) print/cups I have avoided amd64 in the past due to some or not all them working, but want to switch if possible because PAE seems to be broken now on i386. So I have the following questions: 1. Will all the above ports (and their dependencies) work on amd64? 2. Is there any way to do a in place switch to amd64 or do I need to rebuild the system from the ground up? 3. In general is amd64 now as capable of handling ports and such as well as i386 does? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: "last" not showing recent login activity
Hi Matthew, Zitat von Matthew Seaman : Errr... OK. Yours is a different issue with utx.log. It is not syslog that updates utx.log but the various programs like login(1) or sshd(8) that actually handle the authentication when you try and log in. Most applications achieve that via the pam_lastlog(8) module. As to why you cannot see anything in the file beyond a certain point: perhaps the file data got corrupted in the middle? You might be able to tell by examining the file with hd(1) or getent(1) -- try: getent utmpx log /var/log/utx.log You might also fine the getutxent(3) man page enlightening. Thanks - that's exactly the information I was looking for. I investigated the utx.log with getent and hd. Looks like your guess is proven - it contains definitely more data than last actually shows. I did not find the reason in detail yet but I could track this down to an event occured on the affected machine during the time of the last shown data (had to perform a hardware reset due to a hanging FS snapshot, causing me to do a manual fsck).

I gave you the answer if I knew one. I general, I do not have problems which are linked to 32 or 64 bits. > 2.

I saw that some ports I used to use on i386 went 100% smooth on amd64. I believe that this has improved even further. Just make the jump.
