General :: Fast Change Directory For The Cli?
Jun 29, 2010
In the old days of M$-DOS, there was the NCD (Norton Change Directory) utility. Anything of the sort in Linux?Explanatory note: you typed out the name of the directory you wanted to go to, that is, last element of the dir path.And you were, ipso facto, in that dir. If that was the only one by that name, good. When not, and if that wasn't the intended dir, you typed the same command again and you were in a second dir of that name. If this was the intended dir, good. And so on. It simply maintained a data base with the whole tree, and updated it when invoked from a newly created dir o by means of an option, NCD/R.

I'm still getting my head around setting things up on my web server, I've configured php to run off of Fast CGI, rather than mod_php, due to better memory consumption. I've managed to get my virtual hosts configured to work with fastcgi, ensuring the following options are set:
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FCGIWrapper /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5 .php
Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
I tried adding those settings to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf, but this doesn't seem to work. Whenever I go to www.mydomain.com/phpmyadmin , I just get a 403 Forbidden Error. This used to work no problems on mod_php.
[URL].. because the alias is set so that my virtual hosts can access it through /phpmyadmin. There is probably something basic I am missing here.

I have 3 images made by clonezilla now I want to restore 1 of them, but when I try to use clonezilla to restore, there's no option to restore image. I can see the images in home directory and file is owned by root in my home directory. I'm trying to transfer image to usb hdd.
Did I place image in wrong directory or is it permissions problem.

I'm often deep inside a directory tree, moving upwards and downwards to perform various tasks. Is there anything more efficient than going 'cd ../../../..'?I was thinking something along the lines of this: If I'm in /foo/bar/baz/qux/quux/corge/grault and want to go to /foo/bar/baz, I want to do something like 'cdto baz'. I can write some bash script for this, but I'd first like to know if it already exists in some form.

For a user on a Linux host, I need to make everything inaccessible besides his home directory. I have heard that this is usually done by changing the root directory for the user (and setting it to the user's home directory), however I couldn't find the way to do it.
I thought about the chroot command, but it seems it just runs the specified command, considering the specified directory as the root directory. So it seems chroot is not what i need. So my question is: what is the command which changes the user's root directory?

How can I get the last time any of the files in a directory or its subdirectories has changed?
e.g
Dir - changed 1/1/1
Sub Dir 1 - changed 2/1/1
Sub Dir 2 - changed 3/1/1
File 1 - changed 10/1/1
File 2 - change 5/1/1
The output for this for Dir should be 10/1/1 (File 1 was the last modified one). Getting the last file name to be modified is a bonus but isn't necessary.

Installed Sidux over LennySidux didn't want to take my usual username, because a folder with that name existed in my home directory.So, I just mounted the home partition and changed the name of my home directory from shay to shay1.Don't know what that did or didn't do permission wise to the files in my old home directory, but I've got a few unowned files floating around my home directory anyway that have been dragged in from old harddrives and such.

I have noticed that on a Mac which is Unix based too there is a different home directory which is NOT /home/user/ but /Users/user. How can I change my home directory in linux to something else? Even as an experiment? Is it possible? and how?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME

I've already done the following commands
Code:
su
chown theif519 /home/theif519
chmod 775 /home/theif519
exit
#usermod -d /home/theif519 login
I've logged out and logged back in, and I was successful in making it the default directory it logs in to. Still, afterwards I noticed that that when I use the list all commands "ls -l" it shows that root owns it and it also shows that I do not, by default, have read write execute over it, only read execute. I'm using Slackware 13.37* in a Virtual Machine* Another thing, I don't think I added any rights to my user, how do I give it more rights as well? Like, wheel and sudo and all of that stuff. Also, this was the website I was using *Although it didn't help much, the comments sure did [URL].

I am not an expert when it comes to crontabs and linux but i can survive in its world :P I've modified a script i found on the net to do a simple crontab job. Basically its a backup script (backup_auto.sh) that in the end of it, it updates the crontab also.
Code:
i just put the crontab job of the script....
if [ $CRONJOB -eq 1 ]
then
#Check if user can use crontab
[Code]...
I know for a fact that it doesnt run it because this .sh upload remotely some files for backup, and if i dont run it manually then i dont see any backups on the remote server

I am in the process of setting up an Asterisk server with Broadvoice services. I am having issues with making outbound calls and Broadvoice suggests I modify the /etc/hosts file in order to add their proxy server IP address and name. I login to my server as root and get the following command line header
[root@root tmp]#
I entered cd thinking this is what I need to change directory but fails. What is the command I need to enter in order to get to the /etc/host file so I can change it? How do I confirm an /etc/host file even exists?

I am trying to create a jailed shell for a user Don($UID '500') using my own method(I don't want to use any ready-made "jailkit"). The user don should get a home directory /jail/don instead of /home/don when he login via SSH (So that he will not able to see any other files/directories on the system)
This is what I have done.
Quote:
Code:
It works without any issue ....Home directory changes to /jail/don when I ssh to the system as user don. ie: #ssh don@192.168.0.66
Then I added a chroot command to this code.
Code:
Unfortunately , now I am getting an error message saying that "chroot: cannot change root directory to /jail: Operation not permitted" .. I am not sure how to rectify this error... Is my approach correct to get a jailed shell using /etc/profile file ?

Installing 11.2 from KDE LiveCD on an IBM ThinkCenter with 3.2Gb CPU and 1Gb RAM. Ubuntu 9.04 on first two partitions. I go through the configuration, click to 'install': Install display bars remain blank. After 2-3 minutes, black screen with scroll of attempted installation pieces and the error message: "Respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min." Freeze.
Other posts mention problem with init. But this is happening with the install so not able to address that. No apparent md5chksum for LiveCDs. No mention of this problem in installation help guide. Does anyone know how to deal with this? If you need more info, I will provide. Though it seems this is not an unusual problem when booting an installed system, there's no mention of it happening during installation.

I am interested in running Linux on my Mac Pro (8-core, 24 GB RAM).
What are the main caveats one should expect? Can all hardware be used natively after booting, say Linux or FreebSD?
Does Solaris run on this type of machine?
My use case is mostly Mail, instant messaging, web browsing and network simulation (hence this machine) and I value interactivity under full system load the most. How is interactivity under full load in Linux? My experiences with Debian "lenny" showed delays when task switching of up to 1.5 seconds. May I should look at FreeBSD?

I'm looking for a fast Linux distro to put on a USB key. The goal is to be able to boot in as few seconds as possible, with just enough to mount a hard drive and do some basic operations in there (bash would be enough).
I do need:
x86 and x86_64 support
EXT2/3 and NTFS mounting capabilities (read & write)
Networking support (/etc/network/ config is fine, no need for detection) Bash (another shell would also work, but I would have to modify some of my scripts I would prefer if I didn't to have to build these programs for the selected distro, but that's always an option. I do not need:
X, or any form of GUI
more languages (english is enough)
anything not mentioned
I don't care about the size on the USB key, but the bigger it is, the longer it will take to load. My research pointed me towards these distros, but I not sure which one to choose:
ttylinux
Tiny Core Linux
tomsrtbt (doesn't look maintained anymore)
I also found these tools I could use to build my own distro (as a last resort)

I've been using linux for a while (various distros) but somehow they dissapointed me. I know what I'm looking for, a lightweight, fast, minimalist but customizable enough, with no specific graphical environment, bleeding edge distro for a new laptop (used for studying and surfing internet), that hopefully works with my hardware.
I want to have the possibility to compile from source to make my own changes but also to install from binaries easily. I'm not a linux expert, not even an advanced user but I'm willing to learn anything to get my distro running so I'm not looking for a full out of the box distro. It would be great if this distro also had a good community.
