General :: Delete All Files On A Server With A Particular Filename?
Mar 23, 2011
I run 5GBFree.com a free hosting site. As you can imagine, it gets quite a few people signing up to abuse the service.Recently I've found a LOT of people setting up sites with a particular script that floods forums and IRC chat rooms. The names of the files are as follows:
peindom1.php
peindom2.php
peindom3.php
peindom4.php
Is there a command I can run to remove files with these filenames ANYWHERE on the server (so basically, a command to go through all folders on the server and remove instances of that name

I have like over 60 gb of tons and tons of tiny tiny files.
I used
Code:
rm -rf *
and I ended with system load of over 100+.
Any idea how do I mass remove the files without crashing the system? I have Q9550 with 8 gb ram.

$ uname -a
Linux a 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:10:47 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch
[Code].....
How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.
something.mp3 → something.ogg
And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?
PS: {Filename} doesn't work.

Ubuntu 10.04 Guest in VirtualBox
I'm trying to delete a file called
Code:
springlobby_config.h
I've tried:
Code:
rm -i *
which gives me:
Code:
rm: cannot remove `springlobby_config\.h': No such file or directory
Tried to rename it:
Code:
mv * abc
which gives me:
Code:
mv: cannot stat `springlobby_config\.h': No such file or directory
I don't think it's a permissions issue because usually the terminal would say permission denied, but perhaps I'm wrong.

I just installed Picasa from google and it has corrupted my picture database. The good thing is that it has done it in an organized manner. It appended -1 -2 -3 and so on to the copies file name. They look like (filename.jpg filename-1.jpg filename-2.jpg) the original having no numerical suffix just (filename.jpg)How do i write a command line to remove all of the undesirables without deleting the origionals?

I have many files in a folder for example
Kiran.txt
Kiran1.txt
Kiran221.txt
Kiran144.txt
Time.csv
[Code]...
From this directory, I want to know how I could use grep to display files based on part of their filename - for example those starting with "Account" or those ending in ".sh".

Allright, I made a simple script that tarballs my SQL databases weekly and saves them to a backup harddrive.If possible, I would like to have the backups uploaded to a remote server for storage. But, I must have the script delete the previous upload for size contraints.I can only use rsync, scp or sftp. Haven't used any of them really before... Here's my basic tarball-backup script:
Code:
#/bin/sh
# Dates the new tarballs of current builds.
DATE=`date +%m_%d_%Y`

I had some bad luck today when I was trying to fix an account that had trouble with FTP. I decided to remove the user and add him again and reset all configuration. Anyhow, to make things short, I accidently typed rm /* -R -f and without looking hit the enter button, as soon as I realised what I wrote I hit ctrl+c. Too bad the /bin/ folder was gone by this time and standard commands like ls didn't execute anymore.
My question is if there is any way to recover these files by a system repair or something? The server is used to host a heavy loaded site which can't afford any downtime, and silly me didn't make a backup of the whole HDD, just the important folders (not the system files).
Currently I don't have the balls to restart the server as I know this will probably turn into a dissaster. I also don't have straight access to this server since it is located in a datacenter (I can go there if absolutely necessary but I rather don't).

I experienced a full hard drive yesterday due to a massive error_log. We took care of the errors, but later found out we were missing files, including a MySQL database table. Having a shopping cart and ecommerce stuff on the site, we found that some of those files were missing, too.Does RHEL 5 have some sort of feature for automatically deleting files when the partition is full? If it does, I want to turn it off.

I am trying to use an old box as backup server. I have tried a couple of possibilities along the lines of:
Quote:
rsync -a --delete --progress --log-file=/home/$USER/info.txt -e ssh /home /etc root@192.168.0.106:/mnt/back
The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)

I have set up a simple find and delete script for files older than X days. The problem is that some of the files that are send in this share are transfered from an archive server and creation/modified date remains the same when copied and the age of them could be a year ago or older and they get deleted over night by the script.For performance reasons the raid is mounted with noatime in fstab.Do you see any solution to this problem except enabling atime?I'm thinking at some more advanced script that writes the list of added files once a day and marks them for deletion after some time.

I'm currently trying to organize a media server so that things will be in some kind of logical order rather than the current setup of dumping everything of a certain content type into a single folder. However, the size and diversity of content within these disorganized folders precludes me doing things manually. Does anyone know of a program or script that could sort the files into folders based on part of a filename

Is there really no way of having with a GUI an indexed file search by filename (not contents etc) which gives a detailed list? Great big icons as a "result" is no good to me, I want "details" that I can then click on to either open or copy etc. I tried the totally useless "Tracker" and Zeitgeist in my 11.04 is no better. There is a fantastic product in the win environment called everything.exe which does exactly what I want. I cannot be alone in this type of requirement. It has to have a GUI.

I've installed ethernet adapter, it is made in china from a manufacturer called FOX. The driver for that adapter is supported for sco linux kernel version 2.4.x and 2.5.x .However, I'm using Centos5 but the OS didn't recognize the adapter alone, so I'm trying to follo instructions on the driver on the attached CD.
The CD contains file named "SC92031.c", the instructions tell me to do the following "Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o"

I just can't stand knowing that there's a slight problem with my PC.I have roughly 12.5 Gigs of files, mostly movies that are multiple clones of a particular movie (which was an entirely different problem altogether) and I CANNOT DELETE THESE THINGS! There has to be a simple way to do it from terminal, problem is, I can't seem to find the trash directory in terminal.

I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".
