- Hi all,
-
- Hope that this's not FAQ's.
-
- I want to know if HP-UX (8.07) has the re_comp and re_exec regular
- expression handler calls. I'm compiling pathalias (version 11) on my
- HP720 and found that these calls are undefined. I've installed this
- software on a DECstation 5000/200 and everything's fine. Is there any
- work around ?
-
- I also want to know how can I determine whether a process (say, "sh") is
- a background job or an interactive one. I submit jobs to a batch queue
- (managed by NQS, a batch job managing system) which acts as if the user
- logs in the system before executing the job. I don't want several
- commands in the .profile to be executed in this situation. I hope that
- the determination can be made somewhere in the process (probably a shell
- script) itself, without the help of any external program.
-
- Would anyone pls help ?
-
- Any response will be much appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
