Software :: Change Creation Date Of .mpg / .avi Videos In Digikam?

Feb 16, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and have been using digikam to get my photos and videos in order. A lot of the creation dates are messed up, but I have been using the "adjust time and date" tool in Digikam to ge the photos set to their correct creation date.

However, when I try to do that on a .mpg or .avi I get an error that reads "Unable to adjust metadata in ****.mpg" I've tried opening the videos in other programs, like avidemux and cinelerra, I even tried opening the properties section of the videos. I haven't been able to find a way to modify the creation date of videos.

Is there a way to change the creation date of videos on Ubuntu? I would prefer to use digikam, but at this point I'm open to anything. Do I need to download a plugin? A program? Use a command line command?

General :: Find Files In Date Range?

May 31, 2010

ls -l /tmp/empty_file*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-30 08:00 /tmp/empty_file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-30 12:00 /tmp/empty_file1

This looks good, the files expected to be seen are output: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -print

But this shows me files that should not be output and likewise when I replace ls with tar it is tarring a whole bunch of stuff I do not want: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -exec ls -l {} ;

In the end I would like to replace the "ls" with "tar cvvfp some.tar {} ;", but can't figure out what is going wrong here.

General :: Find And Sort Results By Date Modified

Jun 7, 2011

so I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10

How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)

General :: Regex - Using Find To Locate Filenames Before A Certain Date?

Jul 11, 2011

I have a ton of files that are timestamped directories. These all look like2011-06-24_13.53.36 // a directory name for june 24th, 1:53:36 pmI have thousands of these directories. I want to do operations on some of the older ones. Let's say I give it a string for date time that matches that exact format, like i'll give it2011-06-25_00.00.00 // june 25th, 12amI want to find all the directories BEFORE my time. So if i give the string for 12am on june 25th, i want to find all the directories before then.If not i can find EVERY directory i have like this and then filter after wards. The created/modified dates are not tied to the actual timestamp im looking for (that would make this easier)

General :: Finding Files Based On Date Without Using `find`?

Aug 11, 2011

I know find can do what I am looking for, but I am wondering if there is an alternative way to find files on the filesystem either created before/after a certain point, or at a certain time.

Typically I rely on updatedb & locate for most of my file searching needs. Issues with those tools, though, are that it only has directory and file names, and it only creates a database of local directories, not anything mounted via CIFS|NFS or via -o loop (eg, .iso images).

So if I need to find files created after yesterday across the entire system (local and remote filesystems), I am currently needing to use find.

What other tools, if any, would accomplish this in a similar fashion?

I have tried ls and grep, but that requires (in my attempts so far) multiple searches:

ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 10
ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 11

I need to capture the exit status of that part of the command.

What I am trying to do is set a variable that can be modified within my_job.sh, and used to exit.

Programming :: Bash - Ps - Psgrep And Read /proc/$pid Make Script Exit

Mar 22, 2011

I have not been able to write bash to use a PID file to ensure no other instance of the same script is running! All three methods I can think of to see if the PID in the PID file is another instance of the script make the script exit with a return code of 1 but the same commands run at the command prompt work as expected.

The first attempt was:

Code:

The first attempted workaround was:

Code:

The second attempted workaround (with debug to make the following command prompt copy and paste meaningful) was:

Code:

Here's the command prompt session, testing with a stale PID file and then manually running the problem command and it behaving as expected:

Code:

This on Slackware64 13.1 which has bash 4.1.7.

In desperation I tried rebooting but the behaviour was the same.

General :: Use Date With Touch To Create New File With Date Based Name?

Mar 12, 2010

I am using CRON to create a new, blank file, every minute, in a specific location on my web server. After web searching, and reading man pages, I get the impression that the following command is supposed to work:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +%H%M`.txtThis should give me a new file with a file name that is the current hour and minute.However, when executed, the CRON mailer reports:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of fileSo, it looks like shell is seeing the plus (+) sign as an EOFObviously, nothing get created.What would be the easiest, single line command to create an empty file, at a given location, with a time based file name

Ubuntu :: $(date +%k) Acts Weirdly In A Bash Script?

Jul 14, 2011

This might well be a case of "I've been looking at terminals for far too long", but here goes. In a bash script I'm writing I'd like to get the current minute of the day. Since date doesn't have an in-built format string for that, I thought I would do:minute of day = 60 * hour of day + minute of hourHowever, when the clock rolled around to 12 / 0 the value disappears from the variable. Viz:

Code:
hour=$(date +%k)
echo "hour: $hour"

Programming :: Bash Scripting With File Date Comparison?

I need to be able to compare a file date with system date and delete files older than 30 days.

the file name is basically
error_log.03222011

of course the extension is the date the file was created.

Oh and before i get hammered I looked everywhere but am unable to make sense of what I found.
