The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sun Solaris Unix Shell script that adds 2 to a string numeric and checks last value for change before emailing

Asked by sunhux in Sun Solaris, KornShell (ksh), Unix Systems Programming

Currently our Sun E450 could detect room temperature (from "prtdiag -v" and I've
observed that it's consistently reporting about 1.5-2.0 Celsius lower than the
general DC room temperature :

# prtdiag -v | grep -i ambie
AMBIENT    19

"date" command in this Solaris box's format is :
# date
Sat May  9 06:06:58 SGT 2009


I'll need a Shell script that run every 1 minute (I'll put this into the crontab as
1,2,...59 * * * * /path/script_name) that will do the following :

I'll need this Shell script to be able to notify/email me when room temperature
(>= 21  AND there's a change from the last value)   or
(<= 20  AND the temperature recorded one minute ago is >= 21)

Above script basically notifies me once only (not repeatedly) when temperature
hits 21 C  but if temperature keep going up (at levels above 21 C) it will keep emailing/
notifying me.
This script only notify me once when temperature go below 21 C (but only notify
once and not repeatedly and it will stop notifying if room temperature stays below
20 C)  as the pseudo codes below describe :

Currentdatetime=yyyymmdd:hhmm   (24 hr format)
echo RoomTemp + " " + Currentdatetime  >> yyyymmdd_outputfile
add 2 to the value given by "prtdiag -v | grep AMBIENT" (call this variable RoomTemp
  if RoomTemp equals or exceeds 21
    check RoomTemp vs last_temperature recorded in last line of yyyymmdd_outputfile
        if RoomTemp equal or exceed 21 AND is higher than last_temperature
           email to myemail the value Currentdatetime+" "+":Room temp is now "+RoomTemp
        endif
  if last_temperature in last line of yyyymmdd_outputfile >= 21 and RoomTemp is <=20
    email to myemail the value Currentdatetime+" "+":Room temp now is down to "+RoomTemp
  endif
exit
