I am currently trying to figure out how to remove a specific line in a file. So far I've only been able to come up with Ideas such as removing blank lines, duplicate lines, or a number of line that are one right after another. I think that I should be using the commands grep, cat, and rm along with pipes to somhow make this work.
Here is some code that I've started so far: first script i though of: #!/bin/sh mtmp='wc -l mylock | awk '{print $1}'' ntmp='expr $mtmp - 1' tail -n $netmp mylock second idea: cat mylock | grep 'pid' | rm -r I am new to the BASH language, and so If there are any good websites that I can reference please let me know!
