in thread can u suggest a regex for this ?

I thought I'd replied to this but I don't see it. Sadly we're on RH5.5 . Our company is VERY change-averse. Like NASA using Apollo components..

    Thanks for replying and for your honesty. And while I do understand and sympathise with the change-averse mindset there comes a point beyond which not changing becomes more risky than changing. Good luck with persuading TPTB of this.

    Update: added abbr title to TPTB, given the ensuing discussion. Should have done it in the first place. Mea culpa.

      what is TPTB? lol! After 10 years, I have been familiar with perl, but still a English newbie. ;)




      I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

    RHEL5 went EOL just shy of 6 years ago, and extended support ended three years ago. You must not have any sort of public / outside audit looking into things because that's crufty enough that it would more than likely be called out in such.

    I work in a very change/risk averse industry, however an unsupported OS is a huge red flag for us.
