I am a newbie in writing unix scripts: I have a file with a list of arguments like:
./a arg1 arg2 arg3
./b arg1 arg2 arg3
.
.
.
./n arg1 arg2 arg3
But these binaries (a,b,..etc) are in a different sub directory from where the above file is located. How do I write a script that will pick up each line from the file and execute it.
I recently installed FC15. When I try to execute a binary file, it shows permission denied message even when I login with the root user through "su -" command. It also give me the same message when I try to run a python script. How can I execute binaries in FC15?

I am working at a client who has a project where code is a mixture of different source control systems. So a layout might be like this
project/a/.svn
/a/subfolder/.svn
/b/.hg
/c/subproject/.svn
/d/.hg
So I am trying to put together a simple command that when executed from the project folder will run the appropriate hg/svn command in each project i.e:
[Code]...
Since the client has many such projects, Instead I am looking for a solution similar to find -exec where the svn/hg commands are automatically executed on each first level of match (i.e. svn up is run in the project/a folder but not in project/a/subfolder). How can such a command be constructed ?.
Whenever execute the below scriptlet with out proper file name it deletes /tmp directory .I guess this is because value of variable a didnt get initialized and there for rm -rf /tmp/ get executed and entire /tmp directory get deleted.How would i avoid any empty variables to be used in script? as this is a classic case of destructive script.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter file to delete from tmp"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am actually running Linux Mint 10 64-bit, which should be essentially identical to Ubuntu 10.10.
When I attempt to execute a Linux binary file that I have downloaded from the internet, I get the error "No such file or directory." I have eliminated all sources of user error as explanations: I am in the correct directory; 'ls' displays the file in question as present. I am prefixing the command with './' The permissions on the files are correct and they are marked as executable
The specific cases where I have problems are with the Mathematica Player freeware program from Wolfram, the Foldit protein folding game, and the XPP-Aut dynamical system program. I have used the Foldit and XPP-Aut binaries previously on other Linux distros, including Ubuntu, so I don't believe there is any problem with the files themselves.
why Mint can't execute these binaries?
Assume the directory I locate is /mypath/bin/ , there exists a file named "ccache"
Then I execute ccache code...
I was doing a tutorial on scripting in bash. I saved my file on the desktop and I cannot seem to get to that file to execute it. Here is what I have been using:

What can I do about this?

I have no real LINUX system experience and therefore the company has tasked me to get a VMware Appliance running in which they can build their product.
The product runs on Red Hat 7.2. I have attempted many times to get Red Hat 7.2 installed on VMware player. It always fails when I get to Xwindows. I need Xwindows as the company is going to use NetBeans 6.9 for development.
I downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 Appliance, which runs fine.
The idea is to build the product on the Ubuntu and run it on the Red Hat target.
All systems are x86 platforms.
I have some binaries running on my server. I want to make a script to kill the binaries.

What is the best program to use to monitor a directory and execute a script when a new file is dropped in the directory? I've searched Google and just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

When I do this I get the error There was an error launching the application. Details: Failed to execute child process "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" (No such file or directory). But I do have that directory and file on my system.

So I am trying to install Plastic 2.8.148.0 on a virtual server. I have the install package that i copied over to the machine using WinSCP i then gave the file executable permissions by using the command "chmod +x PlasticSCM-professional-2.8.148.0-linux-installer.bin" But when i try to install the package by using the command "sudo ./PlasticSCM-professional-2.8.148.0-linux-installer.bin" It gives me the following message.
sudo: unable to execute ./PlasticSCM-professional-2.8.148.0-linux-installer.bin - No such file or directory
why it isn't recognizing it? I know the file was there because i was able to change permissions and i can see it with -ls command.
I am looking for a clue in shell or ant script, where I excecute a binay file on linux. For example ./myfile.bin which ask me few questions.
./myfile.bin ...........................100%

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 (it's a long story, and I still can't go beyond 2.30).The update got rid of WICD, which is what I used and installed network-manager. Network-manager was not working at all, so I uninstalled it again and installed WICD. I could connect perfectly and had no problems.However, now the computer hangs during boot, saying that init can't start network-manager. I assume that something went wrong during the uninstalling process, since it wasn't updated.
This is the message: init: Failed to spawn network-manager main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory.
So how do I update it or manually change it so it stops requesting network-manager?
My machine is dual booted with Fedora 14 and RHEL 6. (I have only installed Red Hat because I am studying for RHCE). Just now I tried to install the Banshee player on my Red Hat OS. I ran various scripts inside the directory to see what really happens and after I ran the 'Makefile.in' file my terminal froze. It displayed '/bin/ not found'Then i restarted my computer and I got the following messages:
init: Failed to spawn readahead-collector main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn rcS main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory

I tried run level 1 and run level 3 but I get the same error messages.
