Works in this version, thanks! Reduction of 7 lines of code.
sub(from, to, where); is the correct form.

I suspect it is a transcription error by Robert in his email.
>From man awk:
sub(r, t, s)
substitutes t for the first occurrence of the regular
expression
r in the string s. If s is not given, $0 is used.
So the correct syntax is:
sub("[a-z]", " &", nr)

Thanks for your inspiration! I concluded that it is
a possible way to split the string into two parts:
not-numbers (letters) and numbers, and then recombining
them in the desired way.
Here's my code:
if(match(nr, "[a-z]")) {
z = nr;
gsub(/[^0-9]+$/, "", z);
b = nr;
gsub(/[0-9]/, "", b);
nr = sprintf("%s %s", z, b);
}
First catch all nr's that have a letter in it, then
remove the letters in one copy, then the numbers in
another one, and finally overwrite nr with the proper
recombination that includes the space.
Works as intended, FULLY. Thanks!

I would suggest to keep the system() approach:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log | awk '/192.168.1.100/ {
system(sprintf("echo %s | mail m...@email.address", $0)); }'

You can even omit {print} because it's the default action
(to print the whole line, i. e. $0) when no action is given
for a pattern.
% awk -F';' '$3 ~ /^[a-z]{5}$/' file
When using this in a shell, keep an eye on eventually needed
quoting or escaping of $.

That's right. I originally suggested the sed and then was

Well, I knew there had to be a "static" way to read top. -bS is
it. If NICE is 9, then renice-n -9 pid ought to reset it to 0;
so in C, the check for nice or "n" would be trivial:
if (n != 0)
n = -n;
In you example, would this be if ($1 != 0) $1 = -$1;
then a '{system("renice -n $")};
or is this disallowed in awk?
gary
It is easier to redirect the output to a file then just execute that
file. You'd usually have this in a shell script run by cron.
top -bS 200 | tail -n +9 | awk '{ if ($1 != 0) printf("/usr/bin/renice %d
%d\n", $1,-$5) }' > /tmp/renice.scr
sh -c /tmp/renice.scr
But look at the file generated, you need to do more than just the check for
0 and then negate it.

Is tthere a way of using ps -alx | ask to look at nice and if it
is non-zero (the default), to reset it to zero?
You can easily do some of this using top, such as:
top -bS 200 | tail -n +9 | awk '{ print $5 }'
If you want to tweak the nice value you'd need to examine the value and
then renice it as long as you are root. You'd need the PID for that, so
here's another example:
top -bS 200 | tail -n +9 | awk '{ printf("Pid: %d has Nice: %d\n", $1,$5) }'

system tuning. This, before I'd risk publishing anything. So
far tho, by upping and lower the NICE prio of various binaries, I
have been able to get more than 70% efficient use out of my older
servers. ---This *ought* to carry over to my faster machines
Is tthere a way of using ps -alx | ask to look at nice and if it
is non-zero (the default), to reset it to zero?
Say that I've reniced xorg and mozilla to -9 for starters and
reniced epiphany to -11. Others may have a much lower NICE of
19. I don't know ask that well; is this on better left to
something like C? :-) [[[ Something I can do?? :-) ]]]
thanks in advance,

Re: awk question
You are trying to remove the files whose names are given by
ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 == 2006) print $9}';
If you are in the same directory, or you have full pathnames, you can
do just (and avoid the 'for do done' loop)
rm $( ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 == 2006) print $9}' )
If this exceeds the maximum length of a line, just use xargs also.

This is the safest way to rm or rm -i each file ($i); the
ls -ls | [awkstuff] spits out the entire list in one chunk.
But since packages from 2006 were OLD, I just /bin/rm'd them
wholesale. Thanks,

Another way is:
ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 == 2006) print "rm -rf "$9}' | sh
but I agree, using pkg_delete would be safer:
ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 == 2006) print "pkg_delete "$9}' | sh

Bill and Chuck:
These are a slew of packages from 2006. (Obv'ly in
/usr/ports/packages. I plumb fergot about xargs (again);
just rarely use it.
ls -lt | awk Foo catches those that are almost certainly invalid,
from '06) but the find -mtime [days] is another way. Like they
say about perl, there's always more than one way... When you've
got Unix, you've got power at your fingertips.

A better way to do this might be to use find and xargs. The
command below would remove all files under the current directory
that haven't been modified in the 360 days.
find . -type f -mtime +360 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
If you don't want it to go into subdirectories:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +360 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

I would use mount(8) instead: its output doesn't include any
headers, but you'll still want to pass through only local
filesystems, so it doesn't really matter:
