I don't know why --exclude doesn't work when I use tar command. Please see this code
Code:
mahmood@pc:~$ l a/
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt b/
mahmood@pc:~$ tar cvjf compressed.tar.bz2 --exclude=/home/mahmood/a/b/ a/
a/
a/2.txt
a/1.txt
a/3.txt
a/b/
mahmood@pc:~$
As you can see although I excluded b/ but tar command ignored that.
i have created on folder in my server to upload some regular states. I want that user can modify or upload already stored files. but, should not upload any unwanted files orfolders.for that i want to use "rm" command as auto scheduler (putting this in cron tab.so that all files will be removed except some required files / folders for which this upload facility is activated. users are using secure-shell for uploading data.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell i downloaded a program with many .deb files ( At least 15 ) so i wanna execute them all trough the terminal so i typed
Code:
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~$ cd /home/patowlmc/Downloads/i386
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~/Downloads/i386$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Readme.deb: command not found
As you can see all files in the folder are .deb packages, but one: The Readme file, wich is a text file.
I know I just have to move the file to somewhere else, and everything should work, but i wanna know if there's a command for excluding a file or something.
P.D. I totally trust the program, so don't worry about so many .deb files.
I'm trying to backup a whole startup disk to another with GRSYNC but I don't need some files or directories. For example, I don't want to backup my 'swapfile1' (I do not have a dedicated swap partition) or the 'media' directory' in order to no enter a looping sync.I've searched the web for the correct syntax of the --exclude command but none have worked if applied in the advanced option "before" rsync starts. These a sample of NOT workin syntaxes:
exclude /media or -- exclude 'media' or -- exclude "media"
same for swapfile1:
exclude swapfile1 or -- exclude 'swapfile1' or -- exclude "swapfile1"

More specifically, I'm trying to zip the important files in my root directory not including my home directory (which includes my documents which I backup separately/more frequently) to an external hard drive attached via USB (called 'My Book').Since File Roller didn't give me quite the level of control I was looking for, I created a script that I could execute to backup and archive regularly.

This is wat i executed:

Somehow it doesnt read the rules.txt and it will always include the anaconda-ks.cfg file.
I tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.

View 3 Replies View Relatedim using rsync to sync files across multiple machines.
using the following:

--delete --delete-excluded --force --exclude=.git --exclude=.bundle
--exclude=tmp --exclude=log/* --exclude=*.log --exclude=*.pid

Is this possible with rsync?

I use the 10.04 ubuntu, somehow I did something and now the apt-get install command doesn't work. No matter what package I try to download, there's always a "couldn't download all packages run update or --fix...." message. When I scroll up I see that it downloaded some packages but it couldn't find them all. So I thought that I should try a different server. I googled it and found that the server's address is stored in /etc/apt/sources.list. I edited that file and replaced all the deb and deb-src lines with the server's address. I saved that but when I tried to download something (like vlc) I got a "E: Couldn't find package vlc" message. I also tried many different server's but there was no difference. Am I doing it wrong? Should I run a command after editing the /etc/apt/sources. list file? Or didn't I edited the file right?

I am have trouble getting the ls command to work exactly how I want, for example, sometimes I want to list the contents of a directory into a text file by command:
Code:
ls directory > list.txt
(assume the only objects the directory contains are files with extension .dat eg file1.dat, file2.dat, ...)sometimes I want the relative path of the files prepended to them in my text file eg:
path/file1.dat
path/file2.dat
path/file3.dat
[Code].....
It feels like ls is unpredictable in this regard - sometimes it prepends the path and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it adds both entries (with and without the path prepended into the text file)....How can better control the way ls works?
