Solaris Tips

rsync

I was getting an error when transferring some files <geshi lang="bash"> $ rsync -e ssh ... rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(464) $ rsync --version rsync version 2.5.4 protocol version 26 Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no IPv6,

             64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums

</geshi>

I compiled a more recent rsync (2.6.9), and it fixed the issue.

I have a user installed rsync, and a locked down ssh. In order to rsync files, I use this command. <geshi lang="bash"> rsync -e ssh --rsync-path=~/bin/rsync -avz --progress source dest </geshi>

vim Solaris 5.8

source-highlight-2.7

First I needed to compile boost. This was not so bad

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --exec-prefix=$HOME --with-libraries=regex --enable-static=yes

The I had to figure out how to get source-highlight to compile

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --exec-prefix=$HOME --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=yes CPPFLAGS=-I${HOME}/include/boost-1_34_1 \ --with-boost-regex=gcc41-1_34_1 </geshi>

Comma separate a list

The challenge here is to avoid a trailing comma. <geshi lang="bash"> $ echo "foo\nbar\n" | awk ' {printf "%s%s",s,$0;s=","}END{print ""} ' foo,bar </geshi>

Run a command on all hosts in a netgroup

<geshi lang="bash"> mrsh -P -c 'uptime' your-netgroup </geshi>

Find all members in a sudoers group

<geshi lang="bash"> ypmatch sqladmin group </geshi>
