I've got a setup where I need to use 'find' to find 0 or more files in a certain directory, however, 'find' always produces an error when there are no files that match a certain check. Is it possible to run 'find' while having it omit errors when no files match the pattern?
View 2 RepliesI'm not able to find a thread that matches my problem. It must be a software/hardware bug, because sound works normally on a 2nd computer running the same Debian version (lenny), and it also work on the 1st computer running Debian (squeeze). - In fact the sound was working on the 1st computer in one installation of Debian lenny, but not on a 2nd (same) installation on the same computer. - Given that I had fiddled with its settings (for a different reason), and couln't fix it, I decided that the software had now a bug, deleted everything on the partition and cloned the working Linux on it. It had the same problem, so old me thougth that I had a virus in the MBR and wrote zeros all over the H/D; I then checked that the MBR (512 bytes) consisted just of zeros, and reinstalled vista, Debian lenny and Debian squeeze on the totally clean drive. The problem is still there also on a 2nd lenny installation that I tried, but squeeze works well. It's possible that the lenny installation that was previously working, was doing so due to the magic of Debian-update, but I don't know. The guilty computer is a Compaq SR5760AN (mobo pegatron violet M2N78-LA) with nVidia 0774 chipset and realtek HDA integrated audio. If it's relevant, the DVD drive is HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH15L, video is Radeon HD3450, and CPU is AMD Phenom 9650 quad core.If I use alsaconf, it comes up with 'snd-hda-intel' but there seem not to be any intel chip on the machine, and squeeze works and lenny DID also work.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a non-root shell command that can tell me if a user's account is disabled or not? note that there is a fine distinction between LOCKING and DISABLED:
LOCKING is where you prepend ! or * or !! to the password field of the /etc/passwd file. On Linux systems that shadow the passwords, this marker flag may be placed in /etc/shadow instead of /etc/passwd. Password locking can be done (at a shell prompt) via password -l username (as root) to lock the account of username, and the use of the option -u will unlock it.
DISABLING an account is done by setting the expiration time of the user account to some point in the past. This can be done with chage -E 0 username, which sets the expiration date to 0 days after the Unix epoch. Setting it to -1 will disable the use of the expiration date.
The effect of locking to to prevent the login process from using a supplied password to hash correctly against the saved hash (by virtue of the fact that the pre-pended marker character(s) are not valid output character(s) for the hash, thus no possible input can ever be used to generate a hash that would match it). The effect of disabling is to prevent any process from using an account because the expiration date of the account has already passed.For my situation, the use of locking is not sufficient because a user might still be able to login, e.g. using ssh authentication tokens, and processes under that user can still spawn other processes. Thus, we have accounts that are enabled or disabled, not just locked. We already know how to disable and enable the account - it requires root access and the use of chage, as shown above.To repeat my question: is there a shell command which can be run without root privileges which can output the status of this account expiration info for a given user? this is intended for use on a Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 system.The output is being returned to a java process which can then parse the output as needed, or make use of the return code.

I 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.

I've been around the block with this problem and don't know what else to check to compile source for gpsbabel-1.4.2. Other posts on this forum mentioning the same error with no resolution on this specifically. I have looked at the following:

I don't want to go into a lot of detail as to why, but suffice to say, I detest autocomplete, anywhere, in any form. I'll leave it at that and save the venting for another time. Now, I've disabled autocomplete within a document, that's not too hard, by disabling the "Enable word completion." But, that seems to have no effect on the "Find & Replace" box. Googling doesn't seem to find anything, except another person that also seems to hate it on the OpenOffice message boards, and they were not helpful. That was also about five years ago, if that makes any difference.

I am in the process of re-DL-ing the ISO as the checksums didn't match.
Mind you, that was with a shell extension in Win-Lose. Who knows.
Anyway:
I have the ISO (that I had previously) on a USB courtesy of UNetBootIn. All appears well until, quite quickly, I receive an error after the loading process which goes something like:
Code:
Error: cannot find disk at [hash-code - looks like 0ace5f etc etc, is about 12 char's in length.]Something very similar (but not same error I think) happened when I tried to do the same with my OpenSolaris or Fedora install. I.e., gets as far as the very beginning of the loader and then: bork.
At least one of them said "will reboot in 120 secs". Saves me the trouble!
We make everyday a DB Mysql backup on Linux redhat Enterprise. We are using a bash shell script (and putting it in the crontab) to execute it automatically everyday. We added a line to this script telling, once the backup has completed, to find old backup files (stored on hard disk after each backup) older than x days to remove them. We use the find command (search for file type) with the mtime option and in combination with rm command. Everything runs ok but we also want to add some new code to the same line: If find command cannot find anything or fails, for example if it cannot delete file or fails, send the error message (standard error output) to an error file (like error000001 and increasing) and mail the errorxxxx file to an email address for example to admin@companyname.com. What would be the code for this issue to add it to our find command in the same bash shell script??
