I am trying to execute command mactime in order to control changes made to the file system, but I am getting an error. I am running the shell as root, and it is the first time I run the command in this system - Debian Squeeze up to date. The I/O is as follows:
# mactime 3/1/2011 cannot exec /bin/date: No such file or directory cannot exec /bin/hostname: No such file or directory cannot exec /bin/uname -n: No such file or directory Cannot open /var/cache/tct/data/Amnesiac/body: No such file or directory
The first three lines of output are the ones that are worrying at the moment; I am not concerned with the last. Although error messages suggest the programs date, hostname and uname do not exist in /bin directory, they are available as shown by
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
I am executing a run command in a script after that i need to copy files into a directory which are the inputs for the run,on run a new shell is created and the remaining commands in the script does not execute,wot should i do to execute the remaining commands in the script??
i want to execute iptables command via php. i can run simple command as echo 'iptables -h'; but i can't run ipables -L and i create excutable file (firewall.sh). i can run it on console but not done on php.
I am trying to process a column separated data file, with a few bash command. For example, I have
Code:
file1 aaaa yes file2 aaaa no file3 bbbb yes
Let say I want to create new file with the output of first column and do something else with the output of 3rd column. Of course there are many ways to process this data file, but I wish to know by using awk, how could I do it. I'm trying:
Code:
awk '{system("touch $1")}' datafile
but the shell command will not able to get the awk '$1' output. How do I get this done ? And for another question, if the data file contains the variable name of a shell variable, how could I make use of it during a awk output ? For example I have a datafile1:
Code:
server1 yes server2 no
And in another server declaration data file, I got this datafile2:
Code:
server1=xxx1 server2=yyy1
And in my awk script, I want to achieve something like (the syntax is definitely wrong, just to demonstrate what I assume it will like):
This is weird. I have a shell script with no execute rights.$ chmod -x test.shThen I try$ test.shwhich does not work. (I have "." in PATH)When I do$ . test.shit works! I can run the script even though I have no execute rights. Why is that?Another question: If I have a shell script without a hash bang, I still can execute the shell script. Why? What does hash bang do? If there is no hash bang, why is the shell script run? What does the hash bang do
Is there a way to execute some command and then after the command completes utomatically reboot the system and then after the system reboots execute another command ? For example look at the sequence shown below(1) Execute command-1(2) After the command-1 in (1) is completed,reboot the system (3) Execute command-2(4) After execution of command-2 reboot the sytemIs there a way i can automate this process so that i need not reboot the system manually
i have one executable file (filename : "tet"). i can run this command in other linux os like: "fedora, cent os" using command "./tet", and it's working fine. but this command not working in debian. i don't know how to execute this file.
1. i have tried with 755 and 777 permission 2. i have tried "home/fullpath/tet" 3. i have tried "/tet" 4. i have tried "./home/fullpath/tet"
but above all commands are failed. to run this execute file
due to an exercise in Operating Systems I have to do the following: There are 6 users, user1, user2 ... user6 with home directories /users/user1 ... users/user6. User1 to user3 belong to group1, user4 to user6 belong to group2. The System Administrator wants to change the privilege* only to users 1, 2 and 3 to execute the file /bin/xxx. Which are the commands he has to type in order to achieve the previous?*I'm not sure if this is the right translation.What I have come till now is: Code: $ chgrp group1 <name_of_file> but it seems too simple to be right.
I am trying to write a perl script which will give an interactive session to a user to execute command on the server. I have written a small script to do this :
Code: !/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::SSH::Perl; my $host = '192.168.1.1'; my $username = 'user'; my $login_passwd = 'test123';
I am having trouble writing a script that monitors a text file. When the file contains number 1 (or any other string that is not a command) it does nothing, but when it is something different from 1, it executes that command.
So, there are 2 files: monitor.mon - this is the file that will be checked constanlty; and test.sh - the script that does the job. The monitor.mon file will have its content modified by php. This means a web page will have a form where I input commands and writes does commands in the file. Test.sh will watch when the file's content changes from character 1 to a command, execute that command and write back a 1 so it will not execute it more times.
I tried combining while and if but with no success. Tried reading the file with cat and grep -e but it doesn't seem to recognize when content changes.
I have a big bash script ,its goal is to download movie one by one . But I often get into a problem: if this script is executed in cron,it often does not completely download the movie.I often find the movies it downloaded are several KB while the movie is actually 20MB.So I think it is because it did not wait for finishing one task ,and jump to download another.So I want to know ,is there a way to force the bash script to wait until one movie downloaded completely and then start to download another movie ?
I have a script which builds a project and then runs junit tests. However, if the build fails, the junit tests fail with the same error message.Therefore the command which runs the junit tests should only be executed if the build was successful.
I'm trying to call a system command in perl and am having an issue with it.
Here's an example of a command i'd like to call: Code: sed -i '4 c192.168.1.4 www.something.com' hosts this is the section in my perl script where I create the variable and call it: Code: $doit = `sed -i '$line c$ip $host hosts'`system($doit); The $line, $ip, and $host variables are working fine becasue I can replace that section with "prints" and they come out fine. I imagine the problem is where I am creating the $doit variable.
I am calling another executable in my application (C programing) using "system" command which is user interactive program. now i want to pass those args in system command only.
system(" executable ");
Executable will expect 1,2 or 3.
1 is to continue 2 for do changes in settings 3 exit from application
I am having all sorts of trouble trying to assign a variable within an awk script with the system command. I know there is a lot of ways around this problem, but for efficiency reasons, I would like to, within my awk script, do something like
system(x=3)
or
system(x=NR)
and, latter on the shell script which calls the awk script, use the variable $x. But nothing is passed to x. I have already tried things like
command = "x=3" system(command)
and also used a pipeline within the system to pipe it to /bin/sh In fact tried a lot of stuff like that, using $(( )) etc etc etc I can create directories e write to files (yes, i could write to a file and read from there, but I dont think it is efficient, plus I am puzzled).
I have been trying to install a command line Debian Squeeze system on n Eee PC 701., but have run into a number of problems:
1) All install info I can find assumes that the person wants to install a GUI system of some sort. 2) The Eee PC has a unique 2 MB. partition that needs to be preserved, so no guided install. 3) The Eee PC has an SSD instead of an HD. Most postings I have seen recommend an install without a swap partition, but the install (both live and text) seems to choke and despite a fresh formatting of the existing partition, claims to be overwriting existing files. 4) I can understand from the wiki that the Eee PC wireless driver (Atheros) should be included in Squeeze, but when the wireless connection and password is added, the installer claims that the password is not correct, despite me having checked it a number of times.
I hope someone can help me out. I just want to use the Eee PC for low resource stuff done on the cli like using a text based web browser to access the net through a wireless router and to hook it up to an external USB HD and to my stereo, to play my music collection.
basically in the child process iam just calling the ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL) system call but if add this stsyem call rest of the code not working properly. i found the reason basically what happening is when we have ptrace() system call its printing the same variable 3 times i.e its not executing it 3 times but just it is printing 3 times .iam just wondering how it could be possible.

I'm trying to write a bash script program in the Linux command terminal that will write to a fellow user and then continue reading down the program. this is what i have (kind of explains the idea too):
#!/bin/sh
clear echo "this is before the write command" write jcummins this message should go to jerry echo "the message didn't send and this string will not appear" echo "it appears it has stopped at the write command"
I am trying to fix a perl script, and I really suck at perl. But I think this problem will be easy for people who know it.
The problem is, I have an old setup script someone wrote many years ago. It fails if the standard shell is dash and not bash. The only way I've gotten it to work is to point /bin/sh to bash. I looked thru the script and it uses "system" many places, and I think that's the problem.
I searched for it and found this link:url
My plan is to include this function:
Code: sub system_bash { my @args = ( "bash", "-c", shift ); system(@args); } Then I could simply change all calls to system into system_bash and it should work?
The parameter to the system calls is usually some variable. What if the parameter is a list already? Do I need to test for it somehow, and if it's a list, prepend "bash" and "-c" to the list? How do I do that?
In the script there are lots of places like this:
my $error = system($cmd); if ($error) { die/warn "some error message"; }
Shouldn't there be a return in the system_bash function?
Is it possible to allow a group/user to execute a command, where one of the parameters of the command is a group as well? example that does not work as intended:
Code: Cmnd_alias SU=/bin/su -l %group1 This example works sortof, it treats the "%group1" literally. I know I can list out the "/bin/su -l <eachuser>", but as you can imagine that is impractical. In this example, I want people in group2(not shown for brevity sake) to be able to su to someone in group1
Code: Select allapt-get install icedove-l10n-hu apt-get install rar apt-get install ... ... y press key or other language is other key. hungarian key is: i
english after apt-get install in gnome-terminal: (y)es or (n)o hungarian after apt-get install in gnome-terminal: (i)gen or (n)em
How to yes or no automatically in all languages? Not manual, not 'Y'/'I' or 'N'/'N' keydown.
I would like use this script my fresh installed Debian 7.1. I would like run this install.sh when Debian is installed for my all softwares when i would like use.
