I have two problems.
1. I'm making a script to add IP's to my blacklist...
I need to add three <tabs>, the word 'REJECT' and a #DDMMYYYY that it's being done to a text file that has the IP's in it... ie this is the original list;
80.25.148.216 80.43.197.197
needs to end up like this...
80.25.148.216 REJECT #28052004 80.43.197.197 REJECT #28052004
I just happen to have almost exactly such a script running here. The relevant part is this one here, modified to your needs. It requires that you set SOURCEFILE to whatever file you use. Same for DESTFILE. I didn't put any secure checks for either source or dest in there, just FYI.
rm $DESTFILE cat $SOURCEFILE | while read TCPREMOTEIP do echo "$TCPREMOTEIP<insert TABs here>REJECT #`date +%Y%m%d`" >> $DESTFILE done
The same thing can probably also be done faster with sed.
2. The second is a little bit more complicated.
My server is having trouble deleting virus emails, I want to help it along with a little cron job that will clear out virus emails every 10 minutes or so. I get the list of infected emails from the maillog but in the maillog only the email ID is displayed. In the actual queue there are two files per 1 email ID.
ie... this is what the log spits out as emails that are infected that I want to delete...
foo1 foo2 foo3
but in the queue there are two files per email, a qffoo and a dffoo so in the queue the previous emails would actually be...
dffoo1 qffoo1 dffoo2 qffoo2 dffoo3 qffoo3
So, is it possible to run rm with a wildcard to compensate for the df qf letters and still feed it the list of email ID's which make up the last part of the df qf files?
Yes, simply run it with wildcards like this: rm ??foo1
Hope this helps
