I'm trying to hack into a sendmail.cf something like Sun's NIS ($%y)
lookup on a non- NIS machine. If you think I'm going about this the wrong
way, speak up.
Basically, I can, with grep, awk, sed, sort and uniq create a list
of simple (non-domain-qualified) hostnames in my local domain from my
/etc/hosts. My question is: Can the "Fc |" syntax be used with a command
line that includes pipes, or is it restricted to a single command. I.e., can
I do something like:
Fy | grep -v '^#' /etc/hosts | awk '{print $2}'
If so, do I need quotes around the entire command or other syntactic sugar?
Please respond by mail.
