General :: Copy A Read-Only File And Make The Copy Writable With A Single Cp Command?

Mar 1, 2011

How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).

More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.

General :: Copy Certain File Types Recursively While Maintaining File Structure On Destination?

Jun 14, 2011

I have just been bothered by a fairly small issue for some time now. I am trying to search (using find -name) for some .jpg files recursively. This is a Redhat environment with bash.

I get this job done though I need to copy ALL of them and put them in a separate folder BUT I also need to keep the order intact after copying.

For e.g - If I get a JPG file under /home/usr/new/1/ then the destination also needs to be /test/old/new/1/.

At the moment, I am simply putting all files under /test/old/ and I can't somehow get the later /new/1/ folder path created under /test/old/

I understand this could well be done using while OR if else loop, though if someone can just guide me with a hint, I would be really grateful.

I will complete the rest of the steps and was asking here since I am still not comfortable with the shell/bash scripts yet and planning to be really good at it over the next couple of months.

I'm using ubuntu and I'm trying to copy a .iso file to a dvd. I have k3b at my disposal. My problem is that the dvd is not empty, and I'd like to overwrite it or wipe it before copying the new .iso, but k3b displays an error if I try to overwrite it, it says it doesn't have the necessary rights and proposes me to use k3bsetup. I have it too, but I don't know how to use it.

General :: Copy One File To All Folders?

Apr 4, 2009

I am developing a Web-based application and have some folders that will generally reside outside of the Web accessible area of the server. However, since some people will not be able to store those folders outside of the "public_html" folder, I am looking to put a blank "index.php" inside of every folder within that section of the application. To make things easier, I would like to know if there might be a way to recursively copy one file into every folder in a certain location.

In other words, is there a command that might do something like:
Code:
> cp -R index.php /home/user/public_html/source-files/*
Basically, I want every directory inside of "source-files" to get a copy of "index.php". The directory hierarchy within "source-files" can go at least three or four levels deep, so the command would need to be recursive. I am looking for a command-line statement that I can type to perform this action.

General :: Different File Size After Copy

Feb 27, 2010

Firstly, I did perform a search on this problem in these forums, but didn't quite get what I was looking for. So I hope I don't yelled at for making a duplicate post. So I used rsync to backup my webroot to another nix machine. du -hs gave me 1.3 G on the source machine and 1.1 G on the backup machine. I tried to compare the individual files and noticed a trend. The files on backup machine were always smaller than the files on source machine. The source uses SATA drive, destination uses IDE. So this time I rsynced locally to another folder on the source machine. Same size anomaly. So i did a simple cp file ~/file and same size anomaly. So it's not a rsync issue.

I took a file and ran md5sum on both, the source file and destination file. To my surprise, even though the file size was different, they had the same md5sum. Now, let it be known that the source machine is a production server and the dir i rsynced was being used, serving pages to the web. I googled about this and came up with stuff like open descriptors and holes. I don't understand this stuff and was wondering if this was really the case. What are those if it is the case? And my backup copy is 100% identical right? There are thousands of files and I ran md5sum only on couple. Can I take comfort that when time comes, I can restore using my backup without any problems?

General :: Copy File In GNU With Progress Bar And Rate Limiting?

Jun 22, 2010

Is there any good tool in GNU/Linux that copy files like cp, but also shows progress and limits speed (and changes limit without interruption) like pv?

Prototype: find source_directory | cpio -H newc -o | pv -s `du -bs source_directory/ | awk '{print $1}'` | (cd /destination/directory && cpio -di)

Also rsync -aP source_directory /destionation/directory/, but this shows progress bars individually and can't change rate after started. Or may be I should just write a wrapper for pv/cpio? Done.
