>> Can you give me 1 or 2 examples of the PIPE script in action? The most straight forward example: -- cut here begin -- #!/bin/bash # pqact example: # NGRID .* # PIPE -close /data/myfilename if [ -s /etc/profile ]; then source /etc/profile fi basedir="${1}" myuuid=`uuidgen` cat > ${basedir}.${myuuid} -- cut here end -- A more elaborate example, so you can place the uuid within a configuration from pqact: #!/bin/bash # pqact example: # NGRID .* # PIPE -close /data/myfilename.UUID.mysuffix if [ -s /etc/profile ]; then source /etc/profile fi basedir="${1}" myuuid=`uuidgen` myoutput=`echo "${basedir} | sed -e "s/UUID/${myuuid}/g"` cat > ${myoutput} -- cut here end -- Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: PJU-328972 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
