<0> great
<0> english is my third language, so don't report my bugs :D
<1> yeah, many of the freenode constituents are american, and most americans are asleep right now ... so the network tends to be somewhat quiet for a few hours during "our" night
<0> :)
<0> i see,
<1> w***im: alright, if that's what you prefer, although I'm always happy to ***ist people in learning english. French, and a regional dialect of some sort? I have no idea if there is a Tunisian language
<0> in tunisia, we speak arabic, one of the most difficult languages in the world
<2> at least you speak english better than most native speakers ;)
<2> including me :D

<1> w***im: you know, you should /join #freenode-social
<1> w***im: ... #bash is really not designed to be a "social" channel ;-)
<1> w***im: it takes a little time to get voice, but it's worth the wait
<1> w***im: ...most people who are willing to share their realname will make it accessible via /whois
<2> w***im: whois

<0> how to register Vasistha
<2> w***im: /msg NickServ help register
<1> I think /msg nickserv register yourp***word

<3> hi - wondering if an awk guru could hep with this. I have a list of emails processed by my mail server, produced by this:
<3> cat /var/log/exim/mainlog* | grep virtual | awk {' print $1'}
<0> in tunisia, when 15 we can't switch on a computer :D
<3> I am hoping to use awk to count the number of different dates shown, providing me with output like this:



<3> 2006-07-20: 10 mesages
<3> 2006-07-21: 21 messages
<3> etc
<2> basic612: could you please provide us an example output from the above command
<3> Pat`: it's jsut a list of dates
<3> 2006-07-20
<3> 2006-07-21
<3> etc
<2> wc -l
<3> one per line for each message that has p***ed through the server
<2> will count the lines
<3> yeah - but I am hoping to summarise
<2> put that through a loop
<3> the dates will chage
<2> iam sure you could have yourself a nice script
<3> I was hoping for a one liner ;)
<2> no can do ;)
<3> but I can do some looping
<3> well I found a pre-written awk script to do what I need
<3> gotta love google :)
<4> clear
<1> basic612: I'd do a grep for a date regex and pipe that to wc
<1> basic612: or even use grep's ... -v is it? grep has an option to count the lines instead of outputting them. That'd be super-efficient

<5> greets all
<6> Hi. Does anybody of you guys know how to search for files, but exclude a bunch from folders from the search?
<5> can i safely use 'tty' to try and determine if a script is being run from a terminal, as apososed to from cron for example. i want it to print things when run by logging into a terminal, but not print if run from cron for example..
<1> give: hrm. sounds like something find could do, if you know how to issue the right command
<5> find has a '!' to negate an expression..
<7> fbtab: you can check for an option -q
<5> ml2: ok, what would i be testing against..
<7> $1 $2 $3
<7> ...
<7> shift
<5> the script doesnt take arguments though, am i missing something..
<7> you could make the script taking arguments
<5> ok..
<1> are cron jobs always p***ed a -q parameter to be quiet?
<7> why not?
<5> Vasistha: i wouldnt ***ume so
<7> it would be a reliable solution to the 'do not print'-problem
<6> fbtan: how do i Use !
<6> sorry
<6> fbtab: how do i use '!' in find? find -path !excluded -iname test does not work
<1> find . ! -name dir-to-exclude
<1> ...I'm not 100% sure of that
<5> man find has some nice examples
<6> fbtab: the only example that talks about excluding folders uses -prune, which I dont understand
<5> find . -maxdepth 1 \! -name '*allso*' -and \! -name '*vmm*' , is an example on my box that excludes files i have on my filesystem, change them and try it on your side
<8> find . -name CVS -a -prune -o -print
<6> looks like this is short and works: find ../folder/ ! -path 'to_be_excluded' -iname somefile
<6> thank you for the help!
<5> yes sorry my example is incorrect, use give's
<6> 'use give's' ?
<6> ah! mine =)
<1> give: yeah, -path instead of -name
<6> Now something real tricky: How do I exclude all folders that are mounted via "mount --bind ..." into my folders. Thats real hard...
<1> give: try -xdev ?
<1> I'm not sure if it works for bind mounts
<6> no. i tried.
<1> strange, it seems to work for me
<6> ill try again
<1> find shows the folder that is bound, but does not show contents within
<6> you mounted via 'mount --bind /some/folder /someother/folder' ?
<1> yeah, that's right ... here...
<1> find -path './w*' -maxdepth 2 -xdev
<1> output of mount: /Docs/www on /var/www type ext2 (rw,bind)
<6> whats the maxdepth for?
<1> so /var/www points to /Docs/www ... if I cd /var and issue that find command above, it outputs ./www but none of the contents
<1> -maxdepth 2 is so I don't get 30 screens of output ;-)
<6> ok
<1> you'll probably want to remove it ...
<1> anyway, if I issue it without the -xdev, it lists contents
<6> strange
