Problem IC69125
|
Status: Closed |
SOME DATA NOT COLLECTED BY DB2COS / DB2FODC SCRIPTS ON SOME LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO ARGUMENTS TO SORT |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The collection of some data in the db2cos / db2fodc script may
not work for all Linux distributions due to different
requirements in handling arguments to "sort".
The current scripts include a call to sort such as:
sort +5 -rn
That syntax will work on SUSE Linux; however, some distributions
(such as Redhat) require the "-k" option to be included so that
the syntax would instead be:
sort -k +5 -rn
The result of this is that some data may not be collected (such
as ps output):
$ cat pself.fullstack
11:33:02 up 1 day, 12:09, 6 users, load average: 128.84,
126.31, 119.53
sort: open failed: +5: No such file or directory |
