FTP of Binary file to mainframe.
On z/OS, the FTP SITE and LOCSITE commands have a few extra options for ‘traditional’ z/OS files (as apart from z/OS UNIX files). They’re documented in the <a href=”http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r9.halu001/site.htm”>z/OS Communications Server IP User’s guide</a>. So from your remote UNIX machine, you could use the FTP command SITE RECFM=FB LRECL=180. If this doesn’t suit, another option [...]

Using awk to sum a field in a file
<b><i>I think</i></b> you could use a conditional expression as in C. Something like this: <pre>awk -F~ ‘{total += $5 > 160 ? $3 : $2} END{print total}’ /tmp/foo</pre> In this example, if $5 is greater than 160 it will sum $3, otherwise it will sum $2.

What constitutes an “update” in RHEL?
I don’t know the exact policy, but once you install a certain level of updated packages, you’ve fulfilled the requirements to reach the next update level and /etc/issue (if you haven’t modified it) and /etc/redhat-release get updated to reflect the new version. In other words, the package levels installed match or exceed the levels provided [...]

Interpreting bandwidth usage by MRTG/CACTI
The MRTG graph will probably only show what you were using, not the capacity of the circuit. If it hits the 2Mb level, then you got 2Mb at that time. Try one of the online speed testers, like speedtest.net, when no-one else is using it, which should give you an idea if the line is [...]
