Description of problem: Repeated use of grep and awk in the same command pipeline, even though awk has its own pattern-matching engine, is inefficient and looks unprofessional. This occurs at lines 259, 298, 439 and 677 in /etc/rc.sysinit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-6.67-1 How reproducible: N/A Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: N/A Expected results: N/A Additional info: Suggest that pipelines are rewritten to use awk's pattern-matching capabilities.
I believe most of these as of roughly Red Hat Linux 9.
