Thanks for the info but I should have given some more details as to what
I was actually trying to do. I knew I could do this in the shell but I am
playing with perl and so far I have not found a way to make it do what I want.
I am trying to do something like the following:
open(CKFILE,"rpm -qf $path |");
while(<CKFILE>)
{
($status, $filename) = split(" ");
if ( $status eq "file")
{
# "file ... is not owned by any package "
printf("Process Line -->%s<--\n", $filename);
}
else
{
# rpm returned the name of the owning package as the only string on the line
printf("File >>%s<< is owned by package >>%s<<. Skipping\n", $status, $filename);
}
}
close(CKFILE);
If I set $path to something like /etc/auto.* rpm will expand the * as it should and
do the checks. The problem is that if the file I am checking is not owned by
any package I need its name so that I can do some further processing. The printf
above prints out /etc/auto.* as opposed to /etc/auto.master, /etc/auto.misc, etc.
I realize this is a perl problem that I am trying to solve with rpm so since it
appears that will not work I huess I need to go learn some more perl. :-)
Oh well, that is after all what this is all about.
Thanks again.
