New utility script - dup-spaces.sh

Hi Family, this is your occasional cousin. ;-) I needed to be able to replicate the dbspace configuration of one IDS system into a different instance. So I dug up Peter Stiglich's copy_spaces. Unfortunately, I had some problems with it (sorry, Peter) as well as the issue of BLOBspace support - copy_spaces doesn't do it. I have not tried Peter Tashkoff's disk_struct either. So I wrote a new one - dup-spaces.sh - to support temp spaces and blob spaces. It also figures out by itself the page size of the running system. Unlike Peter's version, dup-spaces is a wrapped AWK script. However, the basic logic - analyze the output of onstat -d - is basically the same logic as Peter's (the Peter principle? ;-). You can view it under URL: http://www.iiug.org/members/memb_software/archive/dup_spaces and download it as URL: ftp://ftp.iiug.org/pub/informix/pub/dup_spaces.gz FOr searching, it is listed as dup_spaces in the index. Enjoy!
