I have installed CentOS 5.5 x86-64 on my HP 6710b laptop and currently am in the middle of adjusting it to my needs (software/hardware development). As stated in the subject I can't add /sbin to $PATH. I have tried editing .bash_profile in my home directory and adding /sbin to PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin, but it does not help. It's not a big problem, al though it would be much easier to use some commands (ifconfig for example) globaly.
View 3 RepliesI just installed CentOS 5 last night. Former Debian user.I was having problems with commands like ifconfig and visudo. So naturally I ran locate and noticed that they where in /usr/sbin. Then echo $PATH and noticed /usr/sbin was not there.Should I add it to my $PATH?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running a server with CentOS 5 where the software that needs to run on the server uses ifconfig to verify the system IPv4.The problem is that /sbin isn't set for the user that is supposed to run the software (sadmin) which means the software can't execute ifconfig and thus terminates.now the workaround I've been using is simply to input.

So the question is: Why there are so many directories and what are the meanings of /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin?
Many programs are distributed through archives and we have to build them from source code. Usually they have makefile so it's quite easy. This process involves creating files in usr/local/lib, usr/local/bin... usr/local/whatever without creating specific folders for a given program.
I think it's not right because if we need to remove the program we have to manually delete every of its files if the program's creator didn't take care of it.
I found the following function in /etc/profile file.
[Code]...
1. I dont undestand what "if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -qE "(^|:)$1($|:)"" this if statement actually comapres??
2. Also what is the difference between PATH=$PATH:$1 & PATH=$1:$PATH
I didn't find this question in the FAQ or through the Search button.I added a server application and would like to update the PATH env't variable so that I don't have to type the full path for its binaries. I'd like to make sure I do it right: Do I just need to edit /etc/profile or is there another file somewhere in CentOS that I should use instead?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to set a short cut so that you don't have to type out the full path to directories in CentOS? For example instead of typing out /var/log to get to log files, can you just type logs and have the OS know to cd to /var/log automatically?
View 7 Replies View RelatedFor example, what I have now as a root user on CentOS 5.5:
# setsebool
bash: setsebool: command not found
I need to enter /usr/sbin/setsebool to get it working
The same is with some other commands:
# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found
And so on. I know, that I need to add path somewhere, as I did it before on FreeBSD. But I don't know where?
I want to set up an installation server for CentOS 5.5, using PXE for boot, kickstart for package selection (one for server), and NFS for share all files needed.I've succesfully completed a fresh installation of CentOS5 from the DVD for one of my servers (virgil), and I've copied the anaconda-ks.cfg generated by the installer to my install server (beatrix).
Next, I've properly configured the /etc/dhcpd.conf , the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<IP_CODED> and the /etc/exports for NFS sharing on beatrix.Then, I've copied all the first DVD of CentOS5 content in this folder on beatrix: /opt/CentOS_install I've tried to start virgil from ethernet, and all has gone ok, with the kickstart and so on! But I've decided to apply the updates (new kernel, sudo, xorg, ...), so I've deleted the old rpms from /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS and copied the new ones (downloaded from http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/). So, I've launched the following commands to recreate the repodata:
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # mv repodata/comps.xml CentOS/
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # rm -fr repodata
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # createrepo -p -o /opt/CentOS_install/ -g comps.xml /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS
But when I try to reinstall virgil, an error message appears, telling me that a package (perl-DBI-...) isn't present in the media.After some debugging, I've noticed that in the /opt/CentOS_install/repodata/primary.xml.gz there isn't the correct path for the rpms. If you look at the original primary.xml, the "path" is like:path="CentOS/abcxyz.rpm" while in the generated file (with createrepo) the path is:
path="abcxyz.rpm".How can I recreate the repodata with the correct path information?
Per the man page, to remove a watch, do the following: -W path.Remove a watch for the file system object at path.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem installing CentOS 5.5 over lan. I set up a dhcp3 server and it works, client got an ip. I set up a tftpd-hpa server and it works, client can boot the install image of CentOS 5.5 I set up an apache server and it seems to be impossible... In the installation marathon I clicked through the menu to the choice of the web server where my installation files are available. I enter the ip 192.168.138.1 and the path CentOS-5.5 and CentOS tells me "Unable to retrieve http://192.168.138.1//CentOS-5.5/images/stage2.img" . Thats right because the two slashes are not right. Where the hell come the two slashes from???
I edited my httpd.conf like this:
<Directory /tftpboot/CentOS-5.5>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
[Code]....
I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.
Java applet not loading image with relative path(e.g. images/1.jpg) but loads image with absolute path(i.e. from /root/user/images/1.jpg) . This is a problem when i want to host the applet on web server
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
Does anyone know how to get the path with a inode number by C programming?
Or can I get the absolute path without giving a "path" but a inode number by C?
like this: get_path(unsigned inode);
not such this function: getcwd(".", xxx);

running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.
1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)
2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?
Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:
Searching for GCC...
The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?
As I login as root, the bash is /sbin/sh. So I have problem to run script under /ect/rc3.d/myScript
So I want to change the bash from /sbin/sh to /bin/bash.
This might be nothing but when booting a computer directly into the console (tty), and running htop, I expect the list of running processes to be very short, but it turns out I have more than 50 instances of /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon running (see screenshot below). Is this normal?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Debian Lenny as my server to host multiple databases.
Whenever, I used to add a new database, I used to add an IP address like eth0:test in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
Today when I tried to do the same, I got an error when I tried to start the interface by typing "#ifup eth0:test". I also tried to do in this way "#ifconfig eth0:test up" but both of then yielded the same error saying "/sbin/ifconfig: no such file or directory".
The path is valid and the files are also present there. There are ifup, ifdown, if and ifconfig files in the /sbin directory. I also checked the permissions which is root:root. But still I cannot find the problem.
I got this upon installation of the new kernel:
Code:
And then, on the Cleanup phase:

My question is, am I going to have issues on reboot, and if so, is there anything I can do to prevent them?
I'm a bit loose on what, specifically, grubby does other than what yum info tells me:

System responds (i'm translating from Italian):
"Unable to run the command '/usr/sbin/ipblock start_gui"
I checked directory /sbin, but there is no track of this "Ipblock star_gui". I have a Suse 11.4 updated system.
I have a problem when booting my pc.I uninstaled bootchart and since then kernel goes to panic..saying /sbin/boot:no such file or directory..I followed the Repair Installed System from my dvd but it fails at the end and it just reboots the system..Is there any way to baypass this problem without reinstalling the OS?
