I am on AIX version 4 and am using the korn shell. (I didn't even know these
words before today)
I cannot get "ed" to work right. Can I write it in notepad as a startup
script for Novell's Host Presenter?
Please respond assuming I know nothing, cause I'm not far from it.
Thanks

The output from "ls -a | wc -l" will tell you the number of files in a
directory. Simply compare this number with your threshold and then mail you
should it exceed.

1. Urgent! Please help with basic Korn shell script!
I want to write a shell script that will take an optional parameter
which is a directory name and display information about the current directory
(or the specified directory if one is listed as a parameter). The information
given should be in the format given below. If any zero byte files are
detected in the current directory, then the program should ask the user
if (s)he wants to delete them. After displaying the information and allowing
for zero byte file deletions, the shell should ask the user if they would
like to see information for a different directory and perform the necessary
actions.
DISPLAYED BELOW IS THE OUTPUT FORMAT THAT I WANT THE SCRIPT TO USE
user input is specified all in caps (though in reality it is in lower case)
The current directory is /pub/walczak/unix
This directory contains:
1 directories
28 files, of which 5 are programs or executable files
1 files which have no data (0 bytes)
rm: remove zero? N
Would you like to see another directory? Y
Current directory is /pub/walczak/unix
Which directory would you like to see? ZSHELLTEST
----AT THIS POINT A CLEAR SCREEN SHOULD APPEAR
The current directory is /pub/walczak/unix/zshelltest
This directory contains:
0 directories
8 files, of which 5 are programs or executable files
2 files which have no data (0 bytes)
rm: remove zero2? N
rm: remove zero3? Y
Would you like to see another directory? Y
Current directory is /pub/walczak/unix/zshelltest
Which directory would you like to see? ../.. (SORRY, COULDN'T DO THIS IN CAPS)
AGAIN
The current directory is /pub/walczak
This directory contains:
4 directories
0 files, of which 0 are programs or executable files
0 files which have no data (0 bytes)
Would you like to see another directory? N
Please E-mail result if possible.
Thanks,
Mark Jones
