Fedora :: BASH :: Change File Stat In Sub Directory?
Oct 23, 2010
So I have created a Bash script with the intent of the program to change the names of the files in a folder's subdirectory.The code recognises the individual subdirectories, then is able to enter into one and list the files individually, but when it tries to change their information it says;' cannot stat ' : ' No such file or directory 'As if it is looking in the directory that contains the Bash script, not its subdirectory.It is essentially saying, I see a file here called FILE but sorry, I can't change FILE because FILE doesn't exist. kweh?Is this something outside the capabilities of Bash? Am I asking too much of it? Can Bash only manipulate files that are in the same folder as the script?
I'm trying to backup every night a big directory (~2.5Gb) using tar+gzip.I'm calling tar like this:nice -n 19 tar --ignore-failed-read --exclude-tag-all=.kein-backup -Pczpsf '/backup/20100925233802f/archive.tar.gz' '/srv/products'And in 90% of the cases works just fine, in about 20 minutes is everything done. However, if it happens that in those minutes one file or folder from '/srv/products' gets deleted it reports me the following error:tar: /srv/products/prod14564.gif: Cannot stat: No such file or directorytar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errorsDoes it exist a parameter for tar to ignore this kind of errors? Is it there any other way to avoid these errors
can you see below command i give return me error however it has been working fine before. there is 1 directory i want to make it .tar.gz [root@sa1 script]# tar cvzf /var/opt/bkup_axigen/axigen_bkup_2.tar.gz /var/opt/axigen/domain tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /var/opt/axigen/domain: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Code: stuart@stuart:~/$cat showthread.php.html | grep -o [URL][^"< ]*" | uniq | head -n3 | plowdown - cannot stat '-': No such file or directory Code: stuart@stuart:~/$ awk NR==$x Musiclist.txt | cut -d/ -f6 | basename $1 .mp3 .mp3 Here's some system info on the bash i'm using:
well I am a novice in Linux OS, I have a wireless card, it's a Linksys WUSB600N but it doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition, which it is the one I have, 64 bits machine, so I read this [URL] and I did all the steps, I downloaded 2010_0915_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.2.tar but in the last part, sudo make install I got this error
so i have no way to get connected to the internet, what is that error cannot stat `rt3572sta.ko': No such file or directory, I think thats why i can make the wireless card work.
The following errors show up when I run from the file from the term window, but are not written to log.log:
tar: /public/public/clamscans/*.txt: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors mv: cannot stat `/public/public/clamscans/*.txt': No such file or directory
I know with windows you can add the 2>&1 to capture error data. Is there such a thing for Linux?
Awhile back, PabloTwo pointed me to zenity as a way to create bash scripts with changeable parameters. That thread is here, for anyone interested in reading about it: [URL] Anyway, my problem is that I'm trying to capture input that contains double-dashes ("--") but zenity (or maybe or it's bash???) complains with the following error message:
"This option is not available. for all possible usages. bash: [/code]: No such file or directory"
Here's an example of what I'm doing:
Code:
# Select the time of day Flytime=`zenity --list --text="Select the Time" --radiolist --height=300 --width=300 --hide-column=2 --column="Select" --column="Code" --column="Time of Day" "" "--timeofday=real" "Local Time"
[code]....
What I want to accomplish is for the variable $Flytime to contain either "--timeofday=real" or "--timeofday=dawn" (without the quotes) depending upon which radio button is selected. I have tried escaping "--timeofday" (e.g. "--timeofday" and even "--timeofday") but that's not working.
It's meant to move old files from my Downloads folder into an archive file (later tar them). The directory exists, I've used $PWD and nautilus and ls to make sure it's there, yet for every file it gives
Code: find: `cp /home/chris/Download/foo.bar /home/chris/Downloads/ARCHIVE/2011-08-19': No such file or directory I tried to test it on a different destination, specifically my home folder. IT still gave me the error.IS it a bad syntax within find or something else? I'm running a 32-bit system with 11.04
i am trying to write a script that does the following..1. checks if a directory exists2. changes permisssions of the directoryi have written a script but it returns a message to say that the specified directory does not exist (but it does).my question is how to i search the entire file system as directory could potenially be anywhere. would cd or su be of any use here.
I am new to Linux and I wanted to setup a dedicated game server on my notebook.
I've installed Ubuntu 9.04. I than created a directory named /home/phlex/kfserver. I downloaded the application binary from Steam. I changed the file permission with chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin and now the file attributes are -rwxr-xr-x.
The problem is when I try to run the binary file. If I type ./hldsupdatetool.bin I get an error message "-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory. It seems the OS can't find the file. I've downloaded the file several times thinking it may have been corrupt but it's not. I can delete the file, I can rename it and so the file is there. Sometimes Linux can be aggravating to use.
I had netbeans installed and I removed it using wheris netbeans and then sudo rm whatever files it gave.I also remember doing sudo rm -r /usr/lib/netbeans6.9 I did this because i wanted to install netbeans via the repo. Now I installed netbeans suing
Code:
varun@varun:~$ sudo apt-get install netbeans
and when I try running netbeans i get...
Code:
varun@varun:~$ netbeans /bin/bash: : No such file or directory
I upgraded my php from 5.1.6 to 5.2.10 but at php -v I got a weird error, so I figured let's reinstall some things. This was the probably very dumb commando I used:
yum remove gcc-c++l zlib zlib-devel php*
Now I think my whole server is fxxxed because I get the following messages:
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory -bash: rpm: command not found -bash: ls: command not found
And the only thing I'm glad about is I still have an SSH connection open because creating a new connection isn't possible either. what should I do to repair this all.
An executable fails to be found and run when called even though it is found and displayed by ls.I am on lucid LTS fully updated 32 bit.The file has permissions setup but any attempt to run it results in the error bash ./executablename No such file or directory
This situation also seems to be present in kcronsometimes my scripts dont run from it even thoughthe run now option does.This bug has been around since dapper it would be nice if someone could fix it.
Basically, I am trying to locate and copy the newest .json bookmark backup in my .mozilla/firefox/w987sdg9.default/bookmarkbackups directory.
I tried this
Code:
ls -t ~/.mozilla/firefox/b1ahb1ah.default/bookmarkbackups/ | head -1
which does return the newest file, but only the filename itself. I found readlink, but I haven't gotten that to output a full path which I can then feed to copy. So, it seems to me that find might work well here, and I know how to find based on absolute dates, but not relative.
I understand the tilde (~) at the end of a file displayed in bash is a backup file in the Linux file system. Is there a way to keep these hidden when listing the contents of a directory?
i'm brand new to linux and honestly don't know how to use it very well and i am trying to install java, following the directions is not working i am stuck at Code: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin it says bash: version: No such file or directory i downloaded the software to the downloads folder firefox uses as default.
I have a directory and sub-directories (4 or 5 depths). There are several type with extension in them (*.mp3, *.wma, *.jpg, etc). I would like to copy the whole directory to another location recursively but only *.mp3 files.
How can I open the Firefox Profile Manager. I've googled and read but the directions don't work for me:
randymanme@randymanme-desktop:~$ /usr/lib/mozilla/firefox -ProfileManager bash: /usr/lib/mozilla/firefox: No such file or directory randymanme@randymanme-desktop:~$ /home/randymanme/mozilla/firefox -ProfileManager
I have downloaded the latest gnome commander source code from the gnome commander home page. Following the instructions in the readme I have extracted it from the tar ball and changed to the top level directory of the source code. I execute ./configure and get a bunch of "checking" results.
Quote:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory ken@ubuntu:~/Desktop/gnome-commander-1.2.8.9/src$ cd .. ken@ubuntu:~/Desktop/gnome-commander-1.2.8.9$ ./configure
[code]....
I find Makefile.am and Makefile.in present in the directory. I generally install from deb packages. Still, I don't think it should be this hard to compile a package given the seemingly simple directions provided.
I have very little linux experience. And need some help with a bash script. I need to a script I can set cron to run to sort files out of a holding folder into final folders. It doesn't necessarily have to be bash, but I think it would be sufficient for this. File names are formatted as such when created: Dest-Date-Time-CID-Destination# I want the files to be moved from a all in one holding folder to a folder structure like this.
So the script will need to make directories based on information in the file name which is delimited by single dashes. Then move files from the holding folder to the newly created "sorted" folders.
