sed & grep script?
 
I don't know if I am doing the right thing or the wrong thing here. I'm uncertain.

I have a program that reports information into a log file ever 3 seconds. When a player joins the server, it reports it. When the player leaves the server, it reports it.

I'm creating a script that uses grep to take the lines with the players joining and leaving and isolate them into a tempary storage place.

I then use sed to make the isolated information, awk usable.

But the problem is, I can not figure out how to get my script to find matchs from peices of those who joined, and peices of those who left and request a delete of both.

This is important because my objective is to setup the program to display "only" the players that are "currently" in the game.

If someone can give me a hint, idea, or even help me with this, I would be most greatful.

This is what my log file looks like after my script works with it:

Any matches between ON and OFF need to be deleted.

dolvmin 09-19-2003 01:46 AM
Well, I got one thing that works, but I don't think I'm any closer then I was before.

if [ "$(grep ~*~OFF filename)" = "$(grep ~*~ON filename) ];then

echo "This ain't going to work!"

else

echo "Told ya!"

fi

It won't work because the OFF and ON are not =.

Would I somehow use a pipe "|" on this?

dolvmin 09-19-2003 01:59 AM
I tried:

grep ~*~ON filename | grep ~*~OFF filename > test.mem

Then I did:

grep ~*~OFF filename > test1.mem

Then I did:

wc -l test.mem

wc -l test1.mem

I have more lines in test.mem then I did in test1.mem. I was hoping for a match.

So that command string didn't work <sighs>

dolvmin 09-19-2003 02:09 AM
I just thought of something. I think the awk command might just be my savior.

dolvmin 09-19-2003 02:26 AM
I thought about doing something this:

sed 's/"$(grep OFF filename)//g' filename > filename2

Problem with this is, it will only delete those flagged with OFF and not touch ON. I want those flagged with OFF to delete the same ones with ON then delete the ones with OFF. Man, my mind is exploading lol

dolvmin 09-19-2003 03:07 AM
Okay, I tried this out...

# Buffer.mem is full log of all ON and OFF players

grep OFF buffer.mem > test.mem
sed 's/OFF//g' test.mem > test2.mem
sed 's/[[]//g' test2.mem > test.mem
sed 's/...................]//g' test.mem > test2.mem

grep ON buffer.mem > p.mem
sed 's/ON//g' p.mem > p2.mem
sed 's/[[]//g' p2.mem > p.mem
sed 's/...................]//g' p.mem > p2.mem

sed 's/$(grep * test2.mem)//g' p2.mem > p3.mem

All it did was say I had new mail and copied everything from p2.mem into p3.mem.

If your only aim is to find out what users are online at a given moment, I think you can do it 'on the fly', with one line of code, and without any temporary files.

You shall only check what was the last action (ON or OFF) of each user.
If it was ON, the user is online.

This line does the trick:
tac logfile | sort | uniq | awk '{printf $2 " " $1 "\n"}' | uniq -f 1 | grep ON | awk '{printf $1 "\n"}'

The input of the above command shall be in logfile, and each line should look like this:

user action

(There should be no spaces in either user or in action)

So, the above line needs some tweaking, but I think it can do the task.

What is your opinion?

I just entered the string into a script file. Give me 24hrs. I'll give you all the feed back I get.

BTW, very impressive. 1 line, gz. lol

dolvmin 09-21-2003 05:26 AM
Okay, it apears to be failing. I had 1 player on line, verified it manually in the logs, but the string failed to report it.

Here's a LOG sample:

[Sun Sep 21 05:14:16]~Cameron H~ON~
[Sun Sep 21 05:42:32]~neverolivier~ON~
[Sun Sep 21 05:49:48]~Mjordin~ON~
[Sun Sep 21 05:57:36]~cao200~ON~
[Sun Sep 21 05:16:55]~Cameron H~OFF~
[Sun Sep 21 05:48:45]~neverolivier~OFF~
[Sun Sep 21 05:53:20]~Mjordin~OFF~


*NOTICE: There is no "~OFF~ Status for cao200. He is online.

Here's the script:

#! /bin/bash
# Chris Jepson
# 09-21-03 [6:20AM EST]
# This is a test script to display players currently on line.

LOGDIR=/home/nwserver/logs.0
LOGFILE=/home/nwserver/logs.0/nwserverLog1.txt
BUFFER=/home/nwserver/logs.0/buffer.mem
BUFFER2=/home/nwserver/logs.0/buffer2.mem
LOG=/home/nwserver/logs.0/PLAYER.LOG

LOOP=1

while [ "$LOOP"!=0 ]
do

clear

grep Joined $LOGFILE > $BUFFER
grep Left $LOGFILE >> $BUFFER

sed 's/] /]~/g' $BUFFER > $BUFFER2
sed 's/ (........) Joined as Player [0-9]/~ON~/g' $BUFFER2 > $BUFFER
sed 's/ (........) Joined as Player [0-9][0-9]/~ON~/g' $BUFFER > $BUFFER2
sed 's/ Left as a Player (..............)/~OFF~/g' $BUFFER2 > $BUFFER
sed 's/ Left as a Player (...............)/~OFF~/g' $BUFFER > $BUFFER2
sed 's/[.]//g' $BUFFER2 > $LOG

tac $LOG | sort | uniq | awk '{printf $2 " " $1 "\n"}' | uniq -f 1 | grep ON | awk '{printf $1 "\n"}'

sleep 4

done

Any feedback you can give me would be most helpful.

Well, in the meantime I also noticed the script only gives correct results in specific cases, which I tried :-( .

I also found what the problem is: the first 'sort' pipe sorts the lines on the whole line, and not on the 'user' field only.
If we could establish that 'sort' only sorts the lines on the 'user' field (and othervise leave the lines in the positional order), then the whole thing would work.

If you issue the 'sort' command like this: sort +1, then sort will sort on the second field (e.g. username).
The problem is that even if you specify on which field to sort, 'sort' will also sort on other fields, not leaving the lines in the positional order.

This is the last problem to solve for the script to work.

Is this what you want:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

# Location of the file shown in your first post
ALLONOFF="/PATH/TO/ON-OFF-ENTRIES"

# Need sed to strip (multiple) spaces in username
for THIS_USER in `cat ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | awk -F~ '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq`
do

  NO_ONLINE="`cat  ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | grep ${THIS_USER} | grep -c '~ON'`"
  NO_OFFLINE="`cat  ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | grep ${THIS_USER} | grep -c '~OFF'`"

  if (( ${NO_ONLINE} != ${NO_OFFLINE} && ${NO_ONLINE} > ${NO_OFFLINE} ))
  then
    echo "${THIS_USER} : Still on-line."
  fi

done
My startingpoint for this problem:
If the amount off ON's equals the amount of OFF's for a specific user he/she must be off-line.

In theory there can be more OFF's then ON's for a specific, which would give you a false hit. That's why the && ${NO_ONLINE} > ${NO_OFFLINE} part is included.

I don't know if you have a correct output of the file you show in your first post, but this is the result after feeding that info into the above script:

CH47Wind : Still on-line.
CloudZero : Still on-line.
Crazlatinboy77 : Still on-line.
Gimzur : Still on-line.
JamesDarren : Still on-line.
Nicky510 : Still on-line.
PhanserAdoze : Still on-line.
RaY_EX : Still on-line.
Rushby : Still on-line.
SKULLEY : Still on-line.
SPIRIT_WIND_ : Still on-line.
Sneb730 : Still on-line.
Souldealer : Still on-line.
TheDirtyAzn : Still on-line.
UlrichVonVentura : Still on-line.
ZePlAr-RaIdErZ : Still on-line.
_OmegaNemisis_ : Still on-line.
justinhoskins : Still on-line.
killer696 : Still on-line.
klackdink : Still on-line.
roninmetu : Still on-line.
rsherroc : Still on-line.
tcjg2 : Still on-line.
vendomslayer : Still on-line.

Which are 24 on-line users.

Let's hope I didn't overlook something :)

J_Szucs 09-21-2003 01:05 PM
I knew sort can do it!

Others on this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...608#post491608 helped me realize that only the slightest modification is needed for the first script to work:

tac logfile | awk '{ printf $2 " " $1 "\n" }' | sort -s +1 | uniq | uniq -f 1 | grep ON | awk '{ printf $2 "\n" }'

You might prefer to return the results on one line separated by ',' , this can do it:
tac logfile | awk '{ printf $2 " " $1 "\n" }' | sort -s +1 | uniq | uniq -f 1 | grep ON | awk '{ printf $2 ", " }'

(though you may want to remove the last trailing ', ' after the line is built)

J_Szucs 09-21-2003 03:30 PM
Your original idea of counting ON and OFF actions is OK, I simply prefer doing everything with sed, awk, sort and grep, as I am fascinated with the power and speed of these commands.
If you follow your original idea, you inevitably need a script to cycle through each username and count their actions.

My idea may provide you the easiness of trying and tweaking it on the command line, then append it to your script when it works.
I saw the possibility that the last action of each user could be easily found by some sorting and if it was an ON action, then the user is online.

So, here is the final, complete solution for analyzing the player.log file in a previous post of yours:

tac player.log | sed 's/ /%+/g' | sed 's/~/ /g' | awk '{ printf $3 " " $2 "\n" }' | sort -s +1 | uniq | uniq -f 1 | grep ON | awk '{ printf $2 ", " }' | sed 's/%+/ /g' | sed 's/, $//'

The above line produces the following output when feeding your example lines to it: cao200

Since uniq does not seem to handle field delimiters other than space, I replaced spaces in usernames with a string '%+' (which I replace back to space in the last step), and I also replace the '~' field delimiter to space.
This was done with three additional sed commands.

If there are more than one user online, then the script outputs them on one line, using ', ' as the separator. So, the output of the script is a string, in which all users online are listed.
The last sed command removes the unnecessary, trailing ', ' characters from the end of the output line.

druuna 09-21-2003 04:41 PM
The one-liner works for the short example, but an error occurs when feeding it the longlist shown in the first post.

Error:
awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=15) fatal: not enough arguments to satisfy format string
`ON Bel%+Lord%+of%+the%+First
'
^ ran out for this one

printf is the culprint. Change the following and it will work:

awk '{ printf $3 " " $2 "\n" }'
to
awk '{ printf("%s%s%s\n", $3, " " , $2)}'

and

awk '{ printf $2 ", " }'
to
awk '{ printf("%s%s", $2, ", ")}'

Also, I get 24 active on-line hits, you 186. One of us is doing something wrong ;)

dolvmin 09-21-2003 04:57 PM
I been working on it since this morning. I'm going to take a break, then try your idea's out. Again, I'll report the feed back and thanks for the efforts.

J_Szucs 09-21-2003 07:52 PM
Thanks, druuna, my script really needs the corrections you made to process the long list without errors.

My script only gives 13 hits. (Note that it needs the original logfile, where the records are in natural order (i.e. sorted by time). So I sorted the records posted here by time before feeding it to the script)

As for the difference between the two counts, there are some users like this:

[ Sep 17 19:04:50]~Phanser Adoze~ON
[ Sep 17 19:48:03]~Phanser Adoze~OFF
[ Sep 17 19:54:36]~Phanser Adoze~ON
[ Sep 17 20:35:02]~Phanser Adoze~OFF
[ Sep 17 20:36:55]~Phanser Adoze~ON
[ Sep 18 20:54:39]~Phanser Adoze~ON
[ Sep 18 20:56:11]~Phanser Adoze~OFF
[ Sep 18 21:23:25]~Phanser Adoze~ON
[ Sep 18 22:18:26]~Phanser Adoze~OFF

Is he online?
My script says: not, since he went offline the last time.
Yours may say: yes, since the count of his logins exceeds the count of his logouts.

Who is right?

dolvmin 09-21-2003 08:13 PM
THIS SCRIPT:

#! /bin/bash

# Location of the file shown in your first post
ALLONOFF="/PATH/TO/ON-OFF-ENTRIES"

# Need sed to strip (multiple) spaces in username
for THIS_USER in `cat ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | awk -F~ '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq`
do

NO_ONLINE="`cat ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | grep ${THIS_USER} | grep -c '~ON'`"
NO_OFFLINE="`cat ${ALLONOFF} | sed 's/ [ ]*//g' | grep ${THIS_USER} | grep -c '~OFF'`"

if (( ${NO_ONLINE} != ${NO_OFFLINE} && ${NO_ONLINE} > ${NO_OFFLINE} ))
then
echo "${THIS_USER} : Still on-line."
fi

#EOF

Apears to be working. I am getting more players on line then I should though. I think that is because the nwserver (not designed by me) is very TCP/IP senstive and floods it's self to a hang quite often. I'm going to clear the logs and evaluate the info I get. Again, I'll feed back any to all information I get.

BTW, regardless fo who's script I use, I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped. It takes 1 to make 2. <smiles>

J_Szucs 09-21-2003 08:29 PM
I think, if you count and compare NO_ONLINE and NO_OFFLINE, user Phanser Adoze mentioned in my previous post will ever seem to be online, though he just simply failed normal logout.
That is why you get more users online than there are actually.

I already cleared your logs and saw many users like that, so I think that only one approach can be applied in this case: the one that only considers the last action of each user.

dolvmin 09-21-2003 08:46 PM
Okay... So far, it inputs new users who log in correctly... I got my first 3, checked the logs. Check internally in the game, same output. Waiting for one of them to leave.

dolvmin 09-21-2003 11:05 PM
Okay, technically speaking, everything is running fine. There apears to be no bugs.

Now, realistically speaking, I see 1 thing this script needs, BAD:

Is there any way the script can be setup to "refresh" the screen instead of clearing it? Using "sleep #" + "clear" causes huge cpu spikes. In fact reducing it from it's current setting can spike the cpu from 20% to 100% for 1/2 a second.

Here's my script:

As stated by J_Szucs some users are still on-line if my script is used, although he/she might be off-line (last action in date sorted log is an OFF).

Question is: After the failed log-on (or a 'dirty' log-off) are there still resources being used by the server for this 'logged-off' player.

I think there are. But if that is not the case: My script does not show the correct amount of active on-line players.

@dolvmin

A cpu spike to 100% isn't a bad thing per se. If allowed, a program will consume as much cpu as it needs/is possible. It becomes a problem if multiple programs want/need cpu time and your machine is struggling to keep up. But in that case you will see a 100% count for longer then 0.5 seconds.

Speeding up the script:

Sorry, don't have a solution for the sleep/clear thingie (although I doubt that those are the main problem). There are a few other things I noticed that migth speed up things a bit:

- Script uses a lot of I/O, I'm going to take a look if that can be changed.
- The following isn't needed or can be done better/faster:

line 11 : LOGDIR=/home/nwserver/logs.0 - but LOGDIR isn't used anywhere else. Can be removed.

line 15 & 19 : variable declaration/use (LOOP) not necessary. Remove both lines and replace line 19 with - while true

line 30/31 : why 2 greps?? Can't you use egrep??

egrep "Joined|Left" $LOGFILE > $BUFFER

instead of:

grep Joined $LOGFILE > $BUFFER # Generating Player Log
grep Left $LOGFILE >> $BUFFER

line 56/57 : don't write to file if not absolutely necessary.

echo " *PLAYER* - ${THIS_USER}" > $LOG # Player Log ready.
awk -F: '{ printf "%-30s\n", $1}' $LOG # Display the Log.

This will fill a file with a string and use that file to read/print the string. Very I/O intensive.

replace with:

echo " *PLAYER* - ${THIS_USER}"

or, if you need to justify your output with printf using awk:

echo ${THIS_USER} | awk -v thisuser="${THIS_USER}" '{ printf "%-12s%-18s\n", " *PLAYER* - ", thisuser }'

and line 14 (LOG=/home/nwserver/logs.0/PLAYER.LOG) is now obsoleet, delete it.

Will take a longer/harder look if I have the time. For now: Hope this helps.

I do have a request: Can you post a relevant part of the raw input file (nwserverLog1.txt). I do believe the sed statements can be done better/faster, but I need to see the raw lines for that.
