General :: How To Navigate Certain Directories With Bash
Jun 28, 2011
I'm very new to working with the terminal on my macbook pro and am trying to understand how to navigate into certain directories with it. I can't seem to get out of my username directory. I'm trying to access MAMP/htdocs and get those files into my git repository. I'm new to all of this. I am typing and getting this:
David-Adamss-MacBook-Pro:~ davidadams$ cd Applications/MAMP/htdocs/barcodes
-bash: cd: Applications/MAMP/htdocs/barcodes: No such file or directory
I need to get the "davidadams$" out of that line but I don't know how to navigate out of it.

I have 5 FTP users that upload files (and subdirectories) in their home directory, i need to mirror theese directories beetween them and with a "master" directory (accessible from a 6th user). Files can contain spaces or others special caracters. All the files are in the same filesystem, and i want to use hard link because i don't want to waste 5 time the space of a single file. I tried with find but i cannot handle spaces in it.

I brought a computer online which is operated by Ubuntu and I know nothing about it. I had an HP printer that I couldn't get to function. I was told that HP didn't have drivers (or something like that) for Linux Ubuntu. I just brought a Lexmark which showed on the box was okay for Linux but when I load the installation disc I can't figure how to get to the "Welcome" screne and follow it through the installation. I do not kow computer terms (a newbie) and will need to be taken step-by-step through the process, if it's even possible.

Is it possible to use cd command to navigate back and forward (like browser)?. Something similar to cd - but it only swaps current and last location. I know I can push dir on stack, it would be great to use cd -> and cd <-, though.

It achieves a bash script that takes two parameters (command line). These two parameters must be two paths of two directories (existing, and different such as not being of the other sub-folder). Path1 and path2 are for simplicity.The script will recursively visit the two directories and all sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, etc.. Looking for differences between their contents (files or directories). In particular, suppose that we work with both path1 and path2 directory, and scanned the files contained therein. These situations can occur:
* Path1 exists in a file that is not present in path2: in this case, the script displays the path of the file to you (print screen) and asks if he wants the file is copied in path2 or not. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Path2 exists in a file that is not present in path1: in this case, the script displays the path of the file and asks if the user wants the file is copied in path1 or not. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Both path1 path2 in a file with the same name but different contents: in this case, the script displays the path of the two files (which of course will start with path1 and path2 but end with an equal) to the user together with the two dates have been changed last time. Then asks if you want the file to be replaced by one in path1 path2, or that the file is replaced by one in path2 path1, or that both are left unchanged. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Both path1 path2 in a file with the same name and same content, in which case the script does nothing and proceeds with the next file.This is done for all regular files in path1 and path2. The special file (socket, device, symbolic link ...) are ignored. For folders in path1 and path2 is recursively by:
* Path1 if there is a folder that is not present in path2: in this case, the script displays the path to the folder and asks if you want the folder and all its contents are copied to path2. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Path1 if there is a folder that is not present in path2: similar at first.
* Both path1 path2 that there are two folders with the same name as the script works recursively on the two folders.

I want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

Im running on Solaris 10 and I am trying to write a script that will look at all the directories in export.home and then grep for the those in passwd and will display the directories that don't have a password associated with them
Here is what I got so far but its not working.
#!usr/bin/bash
for i in 'ls /export/home'
do
test='getent passwd | grep $i'
if [ $test="" ]
then
echo "No Home Diectories Found $i"
fi
done
All this does is display what was listed in the export.home. What I want it to do is just display what was not found in password.

I've spent some time searching for answers to this and I haven't found much at all.Please feel free to post pointers to other threads that discuss this particular problem, if you find any.The problem is that in bash I want to mount an iso file to inspect the contents with the command:Code:sudo mount myCD.iso CDMount -o loopThe command works fine, but pressing tab to complete either the iso filename or the CDMount directory does not work. The completion suggestions I get are existing mountpoints which The completion suggestions should include the files and directories in the current directory. This worked with Ubuntu 10.04 and not with 11.04.

I wrote a script that easily runs it in the same directory as it was run below: #for f in *.MTS do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -deinterlace -vpre slow -b 20000k -bt 3000k -refs 4 "${f%.MTS}.mp4" ; #done
I want to be able to use the find command so it will recurse through all the videos in my videos folder. Is there a painless way to do this. Here is the start of my find command but it doesn't work. Any help appreciated:
find . -name "*.MTS" -exec ffmpeg -i 'basename{}' -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -deinterlace -vpre slow -b 20000k -bt 3000k -refs 4 'basename{%.MTS}.mp4'

I installed openjdk-6 on my ubuntu 9.10 system along the the documentation package and some other, related packages that looked promising but I cannot figure out how to access and navigate the documentation. (This is veering out of the scope of this forum but I also cannot figure out whether I have SJSXP installed or how to acquire and install it in case I do not.) Would one of you be gracious enough to help me figure this out so that I can get started?

I ask your help to diagnose a problem. For business reasons I use a broadband internet connection via a mobile phone's connected via bluetooth [rfcomm]. Speed is not the maximum but it is more than sufficient for my work. For configuration of ppp I followed this guide Pon pulls up dialup, but I can't navigate also if resolv.conf and default route are correct. In addition I would like to use the NetworkManager that by default, does not see the device. I worked around the problem this way:
I modified the / etc / rc.local so that launch at boot time: # Rfcomm bind yes
After starting Lucid Lynx, bluetooth connects to the phone but NetworkManager does not see the modem.
When I run the connection manually, by: # Pon BluetoothDialup
NetworkManager sees the device, but can not use it because obviously it is locked by the ppp daemon.
So I close the connection with: # poff
Now NetworkManager sees the broadband modem via / dev/rfcomm0, dialup is performed properly. I can finally surf and just enable vpn with NetworkManager. all start automatically at boot, without the need to manually connect and disconnects the dialup to use, finally, the NetworkManager.

Surviving without mouse or touchpad I have been looking for this without initial success: only 2 oldie questions like the one I was going to place:
[URL]... But I found it!!: [URL]...
So the key keyboard shortcut is:
CTRL+ALT+TAB
With it you change the focus from the desktop to the panel, and vice versa When the focus in in the panel you can move from icon to icon with TAB (to the right) or SHIFT+TAB (to the left). Then Enter key (sometimes F10 instead) makes the same as left-clicking with the mouse, and SHIFT+F10 makes the same as right-clicking with the mouse. ESC key (sometimes Enter instead) takes the menus out.
There is something about this in: [URL]...
