Say someone logs into a Centos Linux box and SCPs a file from /root/ called 'textfile.dat'
Is there any way to log into the Centos Linux box, later, and see that textfile.dat was SCP'd from the box?
I was wondering if there is a way to tell rsync to only apply changes (delete, overwrite,create) only if all files in the file list transferred successfully.Just to clarify, this would essentially be putting a transaction around the transfer.

I transfer avi files on my usb drive to watch on my xbox. I have Ubuntu 9.10. When I watch the movie their are parts that skip or look messed up and sometimes freeze. When I transfer the avi files to my usb drive I do have a lot of other programs running so that could create problems when transferring the files. But it shouldn't right?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just purchased an Ibiza Rhapsody the other day, and installed Gnomad2 to transfer my library of mp3's to it. Once the transfer finished, only about half the number of songs showed up on the Ibiza as there were songs I was transferring over. All of them are proper mp3 files. Also, none of the files that transferred over can be played by the Ibiza. Sometimes it pops up an error message that it can not play the audio, but mostly it sits on the song and does not play. It reads the title and artist out of the MP3, but I guess it doesn't get the real data, considering the lack of playing, coupled with the fact that it does not show a length/timeleft for the song when I go to play it. In adddition, other mp3 players I've used come up in the filesystem, mount, etc, and you can browse it, directly paste in mp3's, etc (Makes life much easier). With this, it does not show up on the desktop like the others do, and I do not see it in the filesystem whatsoever. Upon plugging in, Ubuntu does realize something is happening, but thinks it is a camera and tries to import pictures. It's weird, because apparantly Gnomad picked it up (considering it transferred some files).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used following command to sort one day older log files
Quote:
find /opt/TimesTen/tt_transaction_log/ -name "mtsDB.log*" -mtime +1 -print
following are log files which are existing, I have to delete one day older files from this location but when use above mentioned command it won't print one day older files, as i understand "-mtime" modified time, "+1" means one day older. am i correct?
Code:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 ablddb dba 268435456 May 30 17:11 mtsDB.log126985
-rw-rw-rw- 1 ablddb dba 268435456 May 30 17:17 mtsDB.log126986

View 2 Replies View RelatedWith the find command it is easy to find files that have been modified or accessed within a given period. When a file is created, the acesss time is the same as the modify time. But as soon it is accessed (read), the access time changes, but the modify time does not. I need to find files that been accessed at all, ie. files which have access time newer than modify time. How do I do that?

Is there a clever & simple way to do this all in one command line?
I want to find the difference between two files in different servers , which have trust enabled to ssh without password.

I would like to find all the files that contains the strings I'm searching.
For example (it's just an example), I would like to search all the files in "/etc" that contains "eth0" and "us", whatever where are located those 2 strings, the important is that the 2 strings are in the files listed.
It would be something like a "grep -lr 'eth0' *" and "grep -lr 'us' *" but in one time/command, so that I don't have to make a comparison of the 2 list of files resulting from the 2 "grep" commands given higher.
I am looking for all the files that contain the text string 'moo.sql'. I ran the following:
find . -name '*.php' | grep -lir 'moo.sql' *
Unfortunately it seems to return non-php files in addition to php files. I thought the find portion of this would filter the file names so grep would only search php files.
i need help in this issue how to find files with unusual size and with unusual names of EX : just dots, names ending with space(s),names containing shell wildcard characters, names containing non-ASCII (control) characters

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a many directories each with about 20 html files inside. All the files have .html ext. What I'm hoping is possible is from command line to find some text in each one and replace it with some other text.
Basically what I want to replace is;
/awstats/
with
awstats/
I can do this easily with dreamweaver or some other application but because I have 960 pages total to do I'm hoping to do it this way.
ls -l /tmp/empty_file*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-30 08:00 /tmp/empty_file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-30 12:00 /tmp/empty_file1
This looks good, the files expected to be seen are output: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -print
But this shows me files that should not be output and likewise when I replace ls with tar it is tarring a whole bunch of stuff I do not want: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -exec ls -l {} ;
In the end I would like to replace the "ls" with "tar cvvfp some.tar {} ;", but can't figure out what is going wrong here.
I was using the following command to search for tmp files older than 15 days for deletionI used "ls -l" first just in case
Code:
find somedirectory/ -type f -ctime +15 -exec ls -l {} ;
then i noticed that occasionally i get a "No such file or directory" error
When I looked at the directory, the file was not there.How does "find" find a file that doesn't exist?Is it possible that the file can be deleted right at the moment after a file is found and before the command executed?
I am trying find files in a directory that contain numbers. I have tried ls /etc *[0-9]* but that doesn't work. If I cd to /etc and run ls *[0-9]* it almost works but it also includes results from within files. My last thought was to try: find /etc [0-9] -type f but this does not work either. My second problem is that I am trying to get list of files in a directory that were changed less than 10 hours ago, using grep, while leaving out directories. I am completely stuck with the second problem.
