right now i do w | head -1
and get what's below my signature. I want to clean that up, cutting it after the # of users, so that everything after AND including the third comma is removed from that line. Then take that and add it to my signature script. i can either send it to a new file and cat that into the signature script, or figure out a way to write my script over in perl. right now it's just a simple bash thing of 4 lines. my question is how can i read the output of w | head -1 into a file, and then remove all after the 3rd comma, to include the comma, and have that saved in a file? if there's a better way to do this, please advise. (after ghosting on this list for awhile, I see how there's alot of ways to do anything...) also, i'd like more or less pointers so i can kludge through this one myself. ken ____________________________________________________ | |< e |\| http://www.quantifier.org GnuPG: 7C828670 | |_____________________________________________________| 10:45pm up 12 days, 2:41, 4 users, load average: 0.18, 0.12, 0.13 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
