Hi Everyone,
I am having problems with a shell script that I am writing. I am looking
to pipe the output of iostat to awk however the shell is hanging... even
at the command line it hangs. The code looks like this:
# iostat -c 300 2 | egrep -v '[a-zA-Z]|^$' | awk '{print $1}'
This code hangs for me... now when I just pipe iostat through the
egreped patter it is fine. It's when it is passed to awk that I have
problems... now of course if I simplify the output to:
# iostat | egrep -v '[a-zA-Z]|^$' | awk '{print $1}'
it works just fine... so it has to be the awk. What is the problem?
Best,
- --
