I have an Ubuntu server in which a file is dumped every hour and a new file for the next hour and the process continues. If there is any problem due to which the creation of file stops then empty files are created every minute till the process is killed & started again. I need help to make a shell script to check if the empty files are being created and then kill the process and start it again.It would be a great help if anyone can help me regarding this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a multi user system for my roommates and myself that has separate folders for each of us. I've got user authentication working with samba, but unless I set every file and folder readable/writeable by all users, I can't browse it or edit the files.This isn't ideal as the shares are open to other users access, so I'm hoping there's a way to keep folders at 750 and files at 660 while allowing samba users to browse, delete and edit.Also, the samba share is actually a mounted NFS share from another server. Both the NFS server and the Samba server have the same users/uid's. When a file is created from a Windows host via the Samba client, the NFS server's permissions do show that the correct user owns the files, but since the files aren't mode 666 but 640 I can't edit or delete the file.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running RHEL5.5 and nagios 3.2.0. The real question deals with how to change the printed output so nagios will work with it.I have made a script that will calculate network throughput on interfaces. The script is going through and finding all interfaces (eth, bond, lan) and doing the math to calculate throughput.The output is mainly for nagios to report and trend the values. As nagios wants to see nothing but perf data after the '|' character, I somehow need to have only one '|' character for all of the output.

There is a file with that format of each models' information.I don't think that's good format, but I cannot change that format. I needed to modify the model name, 'model = xxx' as 'model = abc'.And I don't know how to parse and modify 'model = iii' and 'model = ddd'.The only clue to parse 'model = ddd' is the second 'model = ' after the second 'system information'. But how to parse the second keyword?Is it possible with 'sed'?I sometimes have to modify the information of the file.using shell script if possible.Python is ok. (Shell script is better for me.)

But the idea is that I can add a line to a section and it check if the section is defined, (add the definition if not), the property is defined, let it undefine (erase the line), (and delete the section header if there is no property defined), etc...
I didn't find anything except gconftool-2 but it do not explain how to modify other files. (there is a shema file there).
there isn't a program/script to achieve this, but can easyly be made for every config file, If someone do something like that, with a little database of which markup use each file, it could become really popular.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a ftponly user "rom" in my box. This is used by our vendor to send files through ftp. When they send files the ownership of files are all the same as user name group created in this machine.But our application engineers use another user name "deb" to process these file. But as the owner of these file are "rom", they cannot process with their user. Manually they modify the user name and group and then they able to process.The group ID of the two users are different and its application dependent.how should the ownership will be modified automatically or is there any workaround or script to modify the ownership of these file for application user's?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program I use, rrdtool. I need to modify a ds value on every file at the same time. However, using a wildcard (*) to try this operation of all files does not work and instead only updates one file.
Here is the command syntax:
rrdtool tune <file> --maximum traffic_in:100000000000 && rrdtool tune <file> --maximum traffic_out:100000000000
So, how can I do this on every file in the directory?
just thought i would throw this out there as a google search doesnt even come back with what i need. I have setup proftp with a mysql auth on a debian box. When i save files or try to modify them i get an error. Ie i dont have permission. When i look at the permissions for the files, it has a 2001 user permission and a ftpgroup as the group permission.
I want it to be ftpuser and ftpgroup with readable and writable permissions for the user and group. This is my second proftp box and i basiclly copied the config files over from the old box.
Is it possible to somehow setup a secondary group of log files that log every action taken on the server where your average user wouldn't know that they're being logged. Perhaps if a hacker got in and messed around or something you'd be able to see what they did, but they wouldn't have permission to modify the file.

I recently started using SVN with Apache for my web development, although I find it really annoying that I have to issue two SVN commands (one local, one remote) to update my web site. I have been looking into SVN post-commit hooks to solve this problem. The only problem is that apache does not have permission to modify files in my user directory... So here is how everything is setup. I am running Slackware 13 full install. There have been no installations overriding any of the default installs.

I have a few ubuntu servers which have samba shares on the network and for the most part have had little trouble with them. Recently we purchased a few iMac's for one of our deptartments and, while we're able to access the shares, all the files on them are read-only and we are unable to delete/modify files using the iMacs. This is not an issue with any of our windows machines (W2K, WinXP, Vista).
