General :: Create My Own OS
Feb 6, 2011
I do have all basic programming knowledge, I know what to do when it comes to C,C++, Python ETC.So what I want to do is is make my own OS based off a linux kernal or anything else.But I dont know where exactly to start, ive read the whole LFS book already and yeah but like im still confused because im already dual booted with windows 7 and Ubuntu, so in order to start do I need to dump my HDD completely or do I only need to uninstall 1 OS out of 2 ?
Also if I want to do this using the LFS live CD as a host where do I start with that when beginning to write my own OS?

i am running into few problems with the script here. I have an FTP server, all configured, and i need to have a script that will create a folder with current dated within a tree as soon as particular user logs in. I was wondering if that is possible with proftpd. if not, can someone suggest how to create a script that will simply create a DIR with date and autorun itself every 24 hours? i am running Debian/Proftpd with Mysql authorization.

I bought a web hosting account(cPanel) and I want to create my own name server(ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com). So when I want to host addon domain, I can point them to my name server instead of hosting company name server.

I recently bought an host to have a personal website and would like to create a bash script to create make a mirror copy of it and then add it to crontab to run once a week. Essentially what I want to do is to get the website by using wget -m ftp://user***@ftp.host/mydir
Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)

Build Zip archive, special cases
I'm using zip to archive different files. I need to create a directory in the zip file where to place some of them. Is that possible ?
The syntax I got so far is zip output.zip -r /var/www/test
Inside the zip I want a folder called backup1 and in there the files from /test.

I have some school work that involves creating a script that creates a backup of my /home folder, everything goes well but the problem is with the filename.
I am supposed to create a .tgz with the filename : hostname-day-date-HH:MM:ss.tgz
The .tgz gets created with the correct filename but when I try to unpack it the filename can't be resolved, it's the : that mess things up.

why I cant seem to create a dot file (a file that starts with a dot) in my /tmp folder even with root priviledges. I installed F-Prot for linux & when I try to do a scan it complains it "can't stat a file" it seems to want to create & quits. So I tried creating it my self but it wont create a file that starts with a dot it seems. I also tried "chmod go+rx /tmp/*"
This is the error
root@JASONS-BRAAIN:/opt/f-prot# /opt/f-prot/fpscan -l

What is the best/easiest way to create a Linux Live CD? Specifically, I'd like to create a Live CD that is very minimal in size, runs XFCE4, Wireshark, and has hardware drivers that make it compatible with a wide variety of laptops, ethernet drivers, and 802.11 drivers.
It needs to have an up-to-date kernel and it needs to be relatively easy to update as newer kernels become available.By minimal in size, I mean would like to get my features in to less than 300MB. I only need 1 language (English) supported and 1 keyboard layout. I'm personally partial to Ubuntu.

i have to create 100 users in Linux with some password can it be done in one go i tried newuser command but the home directory is not created for those users.
plus when i login for the first time into a server i got
EXECUTING /etc/profile ...
EXECUTING .profile ...
EXECUTING /xyz/abc/bin/setenv.ksh file ...
before the prompt. The above three lines shows that some kind of script was set to run when a user login for the first time that will create the home directory (if i am not guessing wrong)and never run if user login again.

I know this will sound stupid, but we've been tasked with standing up a professional Linux server to run a vendor tool and product on. And my team has never administered a Linux or Unix box before. I know the concepts, but can't find the tools!
How do I create a user-ID? And is there a GUI tool I can fire up from the command line to make some of this easier? We can get to the box, manipulate files, etc. But to this point we're exclusively usint 'root', and I know I need to stop that, and prevent that happening in the future.

I just loaded a new server. I did an adduser with the -c and -p to create a few new users. The users show up in /etc/passwd, but when i try to SSH to the server as them I get access denied.
Is there somewhere I have to add their names to allow them to SSH in? they have /bin/bash as their shell accord to passwd.

I'm testing out the aliases to have a better understanding on how to shorten commands. I am trying to list all files whose file names end with a .c extension in which starts from the current working directory and recursing through subdirectories as well. And I want to delay the path name expansion until the alias is executed. I want to use the directory /usr/share. Would the command be: alias findc='find -type d -exec /usr/share'?

How can I create shortcut from one ftp folder to another using SFTP client such as WinSCP with Putty?
For example, application path is /home/primary/webapps/appication/
We have created new user with default home directory /home/secondary/
Using Bash command:
setfacl -R -m u:secondary:rwx /home/primary/webapps/appication/
we added full Read-Write permission for secondary user.
To access application folder he suppose to type full path to application folder which is not so convenient for daily usage.
As a solution I would like to create some shortcuts in home directory to this folders as I seen something similar in default cPanel configuration where PUBLIC_HTML folder has some alias such as WWW.

So I'm here thinking how to create custom commands on my Linux Debian? I mean so i could open up terminal and just type the script name (and possibly some arguments) and it would refer to the script in my home directory. Otherwise I've write the whole path to the script each time and it gets annoying.
