Sometimes you can use typeset -Z2 to add leading zeroes

Sometimes you can do: echo $L|awk -F" " {'print $2,$3,$5 '}|read MONTH DAY SIZE

Neither of these situations has anything to do with the OS kernel -- these are shell commands, and whichever shell you use can have any number of OS kernels under it. It's not the fault of the kernel that you didn't shebang the proper shell into your program at the outset.

I always shebang ksh. You sound like one of those awkward nerds who embraces this crap because everyone beat up on you in high school, so now you have this overly complicated usless thing that is all your own and you can LORD your false intellectual superiority over other people now.


O/S should be about getting stuff done, not about getting revenge for when you were kicked on the playground when you were ten. The O/S should take care of all of this. That is what "O/S" means. "O/S" means "relax buddy, I'll take care of the stupid crap so you can do what needs to be doing."

It does not mean "Root around the overly long and complectaed man files and if you can't find it 'Ha! Ha!' you probably kicked my master when he was ten." Which, I never did.
