AWK by example

# count lines (emulates "wc -l")
awk 'END{print NR}'

# print the sums of the fields of every line
awk '{s=0; for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) s=s+$i; print s}'

# add all fields in all lines and print the sum
awk '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) s=s+$i}; END{print s}'

# print the total number of fields ("words") in all lines
awk '{ total = total + NF }; END {print total}' file

# print every line where the value of the last field is > 4
awk '$NF > 4'

# substitute "foo" with "bar" ONLY for lines which contain "baz"
awk '/baz/{gsub(/foo/, "bar")};{print}'

# substitute "foo" with "bar" EXCEPT for lines which contain "baz"
awk '!/baz/{gsub(/foo/, "bar")};{print}'

# switch the first 2 fields of every line
awk '{temp = $1; $1 = $2; $2 = temp}' file

# print line number 52
awk 'NR==52'
awk 'NR==52 {print;exit}' # more efficient on large files

# print section of file between two regular expressions (inclusive)
awk '/Iowa/,/Montana/' # case sensitive

# delete ALL blank lines from a file (same as "grep '.' ")
awk NF
awk '/./'

SED by example

# substitute (find and replace) "foo" with "bar" on each line
sed 's/foo/bar/' # replaces only 1st instance in a line
sed 's/foo/bar/4' # replaces only 4th instance in a line
sed 's/foo/bar/g' # replaces ALL instances in a line
sed 's/\(.*\)foo\(.*foo\)/\1bar\2/' # replace the next-to-last case sed 's/\(.*\)foo/\1bar/' # replace only the last case

# substitute "foo" with "bar" ONLY for lines which contain "baz"
sed '/baz/s/foo/bar/g'

# substitute "foo" with "bar" EXCEPT for lines which contain "baz"
sed '/baz/!s/foo/bar/g'

# join pairs of lines side-by-side (like "paste")
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'

# change "scarlet" or "ruby" or "puce" to "red"
sed 's/scarlet/red/g;s/ruby/red/g;s/puce/red/g' # most seds
gsed 's/scarlet\ruby\puce/red/g' # GNU sed only

# print only lines which match regular expression (emulates "grep") sed -n '/regexp/p' # method 1
sed '/regexp/!d' # method 2

# print the line immediately before a regexp, but not the line
# containing the regexp
sed -n '/regexp/{g;1!p;};h'

# grep for AAA and BBB and CCC (in any order)
sed '/AAA/!d; /BBB/!d; /CCC/!d'

# grep for AAA and BBB and CCC (in that order)
sed '/AAA.*BBB.*CCC/!d'

# print section of file based on line numbers (lines 8-12, inclusive)
sed -n '8,12p' # method 1
sed '8,12!d' # method 2

# print line number 52
sed -n '52p' # method 1
sed '52!d' # method 2
sed '52q;d' # method 3, efficient on large files

# delete ALL blank lines from a file (same as "grep '.' ")
sed '/^$/d' # method 1
sed '/./!d' # method 2

Solaris one liner backup

--> move a directory to another server
tar cf - ./games rsh brucey cd /tmp\; tar xvBpf -
--> move a directory
tar cf - ./games (cd /tmp; tar xvBpf - )
--> dump to zip
ufsdump 0f - /filesystem /opt/local/gzip - > /tmp/dump.gz
--> backup one liner
tar cvf - /home/ebs gzip - > ebs.tar.gz
--> encrypt filename 1 and output to 1.crypt file
crypt <> 1.crypt ; rm 1
--> decrypt filename 1.crypt and stdout to screen
crypt <>
--> clever way to archive
tar cvf - `find . –print` >/tmp/dumpfile.tar
tar xvf - selectively extract from a tar archive
tar xvf /tmp/iona.tar ./iona/.sh_history

Solaris mounting and sharing cdrom

restart volmgt daemon
# pkill vold && /usr/sbin/vold &

check which is the cdrom drive
% iostat -En

c1t0d0 Soft Errors: 149 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: MATSHITA Product: CDRW/DVD UJDA740 Revision: 1.00 Serial No:
Size: 0.56GB <555350016>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 149 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

mount the cdrom manually if vold fails to mount it
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 /cdrom

nfs shares cdrom drive
edit /etc/dfs/dfstab, put in below line or just run it
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom

run dfshares to see if cdrom is shared
if not run /etc/init.d/nfs.server stopstart

on remote mahine run
mount servername:/cdrom /mnt

if want to umount /mnt run this first
fuser -cu /mnt , to see pid using the /mnt
fuser -ck /mnt , will kill all processes holding the cdrom

Solaris American English Unicode (en_US.UTF-8) Full Locale

Beginning with Solaris 8, all Unicode locales benefit from Asian locale's native Asian input systems and methods. To use Asian native input methods in Unicode locales, you must install the Asian locales that you want to use. For example, if you want to use Japanese input systems in Unicode locales, you must install at least one of the available Japanese locales.

This locale should be already on your system if you've installed "End User System Support" meta-cluster or added an upper meta-cluster such as "Developer System Support" or "Entire Distribution" during the installation. To find out if you have the locale, run the command

% ls /usr/lib/locale/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8.so.1
If the file is in the directory, the locale is in place. If the file is not in the directory then, add the packages below.
The packages in the two lists below can be found on the Solaris Software 1 of 2 CD in the directory .../Solaris_8/Product/:
