Subject: How to determine ethernet utilization using UNIX?
Organization: International Network Services
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 20:20:52 GMT

A friend and I have been debating about how to use a UNIX workstation
to determine the ethernet utilization of the segment that the
workstation is on.  

I have seen programs that can do this. For example, sun's traffic
program will graph utilization (but unfortunately has no command line
interface). I am further guessing that there is some device independent
method, because there are a few Macintosh programs floating around
that will tell you utilization and don't seem to care what kind of
Ethernet card you have.

Here are the strategies we've considered so far:

1. Run an SNMP agent on the workstation and query it. Unfortunately,
the standard MIBs don't have Ecarrier or Etime, which is what we
really want. Alternatively, we thought we could put the card in
promiscuous mode and query InOctets and OutOctets, but that doesn't
sound like its exactly what we're looking for. Even worse, the only
public domain UNIX snmpd that we've seen so far won't report InOctets
anyway.

2. Use standard utilities like netstat. The problem here is that
all the ones we've seen report packets, not actual bits on the wire.
I guess you could perform a rough estimate based on packets, but
you'd never really know how accurate you were. 

Does anyone know how this is done in practice? Any tips or pointers
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Date: 25 Jan 1993 10:24:47 -0500
Organization: Department of Mathematics, The Ohio State University

NNTP-Posting-Host: function.mps.ohio-state.edu

I don't know what we need to do in C source code to have 
version (unix command) to report version id.

I checked  man version: It says 

The version command looks for the ASCII string of characters
following the string "@(#)RELEASE ". The string could be any
sequence of printable characters terminated by a NEWLINE  or
NULL.   Thus  if  you  put  this string into your files, the
version command can be used to display the version  of  your


 
I put  lines such as

/*@(#)RELEASE 1.0*/  or

#define version_id "@(#)RELEASE 1.0"

in my source program. Version does not work with this.

Please help!
Many thanks!

Hello...


I've got a couple questions regarding installation and setup of a unix machine.
Right now I've got a Macintosh IIci which I enjoy thoroughly & couldn't do 
without it.  However, I'm a Mathematics major with a minor in Computer Science
and with these classes I do a lot of Unix programming.  I've looked into 
getting A/UX 3.0 and installing that on my IIci, but it's too expensive &
demands a better computer (with more memory, at least).

So, I've been looking into getting a small, basic, Unix box (probably a 
Motorola 3 Slot or No-Slot (88k Machine, I believe)), and using my Mac as
a Terminal for it.  

Here are my questions: I know I can use NCSA Telnet for the Mac side, but 
what kind of hardware connection am I looking at between my Mac and the Unix
box?  Will I have to get an ethernet card for the ci, or can I use one of it's
serial ports?  I'm not sure what the Unix box will have for communications,
but I'm assuming serial or ethernet.

I'm trying to keep the costs minimal... but right now I'm really open to 
anything.  

If anyone has any similar experience or ideas, I'd appreciate it if they relay
their thoughts to me.  You can either post it or e-mail me... I'll keep up
with both.

Thanks,

Jason

Use Perl instead. It can does all of the sed commands and will write
back to the file.

Well, what I would do is to 'mv * bar' and ignore the error.

The elegant solution is, assuming that you are using a shell whichs supports
command line programming (sh, ksh, bash, etc...) is:

for i in *; do
   if [ $i != bar ]; then
      mv $i bar
   fi
done

This is something I must get around to learning one of these days,
I've got it installed, the manuals are [somewhere] on my desk, but the
pressures of work never let me play with the damn thing, anyway...

>The answer is more simple if you simple want to edit a file use ed
>sed is only the stream version of ed

OK, I used ed the other day to edit many (about 100) files, however, I
found I had to go about it rather awkwardly, ie: I had to do the
following (in tcsh):

	foreach file ( $list_of_files)
	> ed $file < ed_script
	> end

because I couldn't sus out how ed can handle more than one file at a
time. Does anyone have any clues as to how I might handle something
like:
	ed $list_of_files < ed_script

I am of course assuming that there might be a way to tell ed to move
onto the next file from within the script, but, if this is possible,
then is it also possible to re-use the same script on each file?
(some sort of primitive loop with a branch and a write for each file or
something?) (I haven't found it in the man page, if such commands
exist.)

thanks in advance

At least on the computers I use, that will not work.  zcat and
uncompress look for the .Z extension.  If you direct the file to
uncompress and pipe it to tar, it will work:

uncompress < rzsz9202.tar-z | tar xvf -

Of course, it's probably simplest to download files from an archive
that has capital letters.  The lower case z extension is supposed to
be for pack not compress.

Or try something like this:

sed <sed commands> file > /tmp/$$ && mv /tmp/$$ file

There is a cute script called ow (I think! Stands for overwrite.) in
Kernighan and Pike's "The Unix Programming Environment" which makes it
simple to do "in-place" substitutions.

This sounds like a job for 'expect' - available from fine archive
servers everywhere.

Truly one of the more useful tools of the trade.

I'm told 'perl' can do similar things as well... (also available
at sites all over the place)...

RTFM.  See "man ln".  ln -s is NOT a hard link, it is a symbolic (soft) link.
ln without any options creates a hard link.

Annoying in principle, but not so much in practice (for me) as, say, a
Sun keyboard ... "Backspace" where the "Delete" key is on any
civilized keyboard, not to mention "Control" and "Caps Lock" swapped,
a tiny little "Return" key, and so on.

Probably the best way of doing it is to write a function:

  function _cd 
  {
    \cd "$@" || return
    PS1="`basename $PWD` $ "     # or something to that effect
  }

  alias cd=_cd

Then just stick that lot in your .profile or .kshrc.

My 2cts:
I'm using vi because it's the full-screen version of ed(1) _and_ it's
available on just about any UNIX system.

I'm using UNIX for about 15 years now. I started with Version 5 on a PDP 11/45
with DecWriters/Beehives. We used ed then and I've learnt to
appreciate regular expressions.
Vi uses the very same commands as ed, yet it's a full-screen editor.

Besides, I have two UNIX boxes at home, one running SysV, one running
4.2bsd. Both have vi!

Last but not least, it's a "no frill's" editor: no fancy menues, no
border lines, no tab replacement. Just in the style of UNIX.

Sorry but this seems very redundant to me.  Just set PS1 and export
like this in your .profile:

	PS1=`$PWD $ `
	export PS1

Then your prompt will always contain your current directory followed
by whatever you set with it--in this case:

	/usr/home/you $

has anyone used the wild card "%" in make? According to the man page you
can use it in a target or dependency as in ...

all: %.o

file1.o:
file2.o:

but "make all" spits the dummy with "don't know how to make target `%.o'".
I am using SunOs 4.1.2.


Appreciate any responses,

sct.
