Hello all,
I apologize if this is not the proper forum for this simple question,
but here goes. Let's say my /etc/hosts file is as follows:
10.1.1.2 hostname
10.1.1.3 hostname.old
10.1.1.4 hostname.mgt
10.1.1.5 hostname.
I want to list only those lines that contain "hostname" only without
anything else appearing after the word. In Linux, I would do the
following:
grep hostname$ /etc/hosts
or
grep -w hostname$ /etc/hosts
Doing so gives me the desired output:
10.1.1.2 hostname
However, when I issue "grep hostname$ /etc/hosts" on Solaris all 4
entried are returned. Doing a "grep -w hostname /etc/hosts" returns
the first and last lines (hostname and hostname.). ????
What is the proper Solaris grep command to retrieve the desired output?
Thanks!
