RE: [cobalt-users] [RaQ4] Was (Monkey Wrench Goes Nowhere) problem but now email problem?

Hello Joe.

The script is doing the following:

1. Listing the /home/sites/ directory content.
2. Ignoring the www part at the beginning of site name
3. Grabbing the column or field no.2 and no.3

column no.2 is the site name i.e. mysite
column no.3 is the .com or .net 

since .uk domains consists of 4 parts (i.e. www.domain.co.uk), you need to make the script 
garb the column no.4 which is .uk

ok here is the modified script that will work for all tlds and .uk:

ls /home/sites/|awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print $2"."$3.$4}}' >> /etc/mail/local-host-names

same with the other script (edit the print argument to include column no.4).

Thanks for the help, when I use the script it misses out .uk part of
domain.co.uk It's fine for .com etc but not for others, how would I modify
it please?
