General :: Different Results From Vmstat And Ps?
Jun 24, 2010I am trying to determine CPU usage on a radio controller running Linux. We have a script that another member of my work wrote using vmstat which I could not get any consistant results from. So, in an effort to understand what was going on I wrote a script using ps. Sadley after running several tests using both scripts, they do no match up at all, vmstat always gives me a much higher value. However, if I simply run the commands at any given time they do match up, therefore I believe that there is an error in one of the scripts. I am very new to linux and so Here is the vmstat script:
#!/bin/bash
declare -i total

General :: 64 Bit - Different Commands Shows Different Results?
Jul 10, 2010The system of my VPS is centos 5. I want to know if it is 32bit or 64bit. > uname -a Thu May 13 13:49:53 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
looks like 64 bit.
But
> getconf WORD_BIT
32
Looks like 32 bit.
Which is correct?
I believe the linux of my VPS is 32 bit. Because I downloaded a 64bit mongodb, found it can't start. And when I downloaded a 32bit instead, it works well.

Mar 25, 2010I've setup a git-svn repo with cron to fetch from the svn repo daily. I have a script to do the fetching, and this is what is invoked by cron. Everything is fine with the repo, and the script works fine when executed manually. However, when it runs under cron, empty files get dropped into the .git directory. The files have names that look like they are some base64 output, e.g. juTrvjP6m8 and kcKf3hu3b4. Two of these files show up for every cron run. I thought these might be commit hashes, but they're not, git-show says it's an unknown revision. I set-up the repo as follows:
[code]...
The last line pushes the repo to a separate (bare) public repo from which others can clone. I'm piping the output from the cron job to a file, which looks like this:
[code]...
The line "fatal: unable to run 'git-svn'" is alarming, but the fetch seems to go ahead anyway. Where are these empty garbage files coming from, and how to stop them? Am I in for bigger problems in the future?

Jun 6, 2011I'm a bit stuck with IF statement. There is the code:
#!/bin/bash
# Variables
VAR1=test
VAR2="echo $VAR1"
# Case 1
echo Case 1
if [ test == test ]; then
echo "equal"
else
echo "not equal"

echo Case 2
if [ "VAR1" == test ]; then

# Case 3

if [ "VAR2" == test ]; then
echo "equal"

When executed, why case "2" and "3" differs from case "1"? Where am I wrong and how to solve this trouble? (my aim is to get "equal" from all cases).

General :: Sort Generates Unexpected Results
Jun 7, 2010I sorted a large mailing list and the result is in almost sorted order, but not quite.The sort was invoked in the default manner, just "sort".See (below) a segment of the output file.(Note: the actual files have a street address following each name.I have omitted the addresses to avoid complaints about disclosing personal information on-line.) I expect all people named KATZ to be grouped together, but they aren't. This phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the output file, so it has nothing to do with surnames beginning with the character string KATZ.

This is only the first step for me configuring this computer as a server and i'm suck already and ready to give up and try Windows server (whcih i don't really want to do).Has anyone got any ideas how i can mount my cdrom and why FDISK isn't working?

General :: Reusing Find Command Results In Mplayer Arguments?
Jan 22, 2010I wanted to supply mplayer with the output of find command as arguments. The error returned showed spliced names of files whenever spaces occurred. I have subdirectories in my /home/my_user_name/Music/ directory, and in them multiple *.oga music files. The actual command that I issued was
Code:
mplayer $(find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga")
mplayer started but then was looking for broken file names. I am thinking quoting has to do with it to preserve the filename as one string but different attempts were met with inroads:
Code:
mplayer `find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga"`
gave me the same result and
Code:
mplayer `"find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name *.oga"`
complained about wrong mplayer syntax.
