I want to get a monotonic clock on IRIX, like: clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t); But CLOCK_MONOTONIC doesn't exist on IRIX. It has CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE, but that (as the names says) cycles too often (about every 90s on my machine in case you're…

How do I find the MAC address programatically on IRIX?

How do I find the MAC address of a network card on IRIX? I'd rather not shell out to something that displays it and parse the output. I'm coding C. Methods that require root access are acceptable.

Shell script for loop: variable strangeness

My shell-fu is weak, and these SGI (IRIX 6.5) boxes aren't helping. It works as I would expect on Linux. The ultimate goal is to run one or more shell scripts on a remote system. There is one shell script in an appropriate location, so this should…
