OT: grep

Grep makes a match on its own process. It works OK on AIX 3.2.5 ps. If you add the -f flag it finds the grep line, but it does'nt without it. Same here on GNU/Linux (Red Hat 6.2) and Solaris 2.5.1, but ps's options notoriously vary between flavors of UNIX. Or you could just make a minor modification to the grep pattern: ps -U $LOGNAME | grep 'r[e]almutt' /dev/null That way grep won't be able to match itself. It works, but I don't understand why. Shouldn't 'r[e]almutt' just parse to "realmutt"? And just to play devil's advocate: Which costs more: | grep -v grep or the difference between grep regex and grep plain_old_string?

Yes, it's the same as matching with the regex 'realmutt'. However, the grep process will appear in the ps listing as "grep r[e]almutt", which doesn't match the regex because of the square brackets. And just to play devil's advocate: Which costs more: | grep -v grep or the difference between grep regex and grep plain_old_string? I'd still have to say the extra process caused by "grep -v grep". Unless grep has some short-circuit check enabled, I'm guessing it still makes calls to regcomp and regexec in either case, and the performance probably doesn't vary that much. That said, I've alway used "grep -v grep", and unless you are calling this repeatedly, it's unlikely you'll see a difference in practice. -- Bob Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Felten, who examined the secret "source code" for Windows 98 under a court order, said he had found 3,000 bugs marked by Microsoft programmers in the portion of Windows 98 he had examined -- and he had looked at only one-seventh of it." -- http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2273581,00.html
self-destruction
Hey, I'm having a lot of fun with the hooks in mutt, but--- Is it possible that using hooks to generate different cyber-egos for different recipients could inadvertently shut me out of a news group that I was subscribed to? Could I somehow have set things in .muttrc so that a news group no longer recognizes my postings as coming from me? (Why I'm asking: since I've switched to mutt, I've had several folks tell me they are not getting my emails...). TIA/x

pgp signatures
People are complaining to me that my pgp signatures show up as unidentified attachments which freaks them out (MS users). Is there a way to force the signature to identify itself as being what it is? I also know a few outlook users which say that my signed messages turn up as a blank message with two attachments, one the text message and the other the unidentified signature. Anyone know a way to correct this apart from surgically removing outlook ;-) -- Darrin Mison -- Life is a series of rude awakenings. -- R.V. Winkle PGP signature
