General :: Find All Files Starting With A String Lsnr* Under Root Directory

Oct 31, 2010

I am looking for Windows Search equivalent looking for file name patterns (not file contents but file names)....

I am aware of "globbing" and wildcard recursive search functionality in ls but I am still not capable of finding files under directories.

for example: I want to find all files starting with a string lsnr* under root directory / and any sub-directories.....

ie I want to look for files like lsnr*.* anywhere under / and any sub-directories under / such as /dir1/dir2/dir4 and dir1/other/dir/someotherdir/sub-dir etc.

so if I have /dir1/lsnrcontrol and also have /dir1/dir/2/dir3/lsnr-tinit.dat then I want to list the files names etc.

how to do this using ls -R and wildcards.

Software :: Why GCC Includes Files From Unexpected Dirs

Nov 23, 2010

Now I'm porting a WIFI driver to my platform, MIPS little endian, Linux-2.6.18, uClibc environment for STB. And I'm experiencing some strange symptom. As you know, there are some kind of include files that system provides such like GCC-provided(usually in /usr/include), LIBC-includes(/usr/include), Linux-includes(${LINUX}/include/linux), ASM-includes(${LINUX}/include/asm) and so on, and there are many files resides different directories as the same name (e.g. time.h, types.h, limits.h ...) and many of them has
different contents.

I'm confusing because that some include files are read from unexpected directories.
The command line is like following. $ cross-gcc -o Target -I$(GCC_INC) -I$(LIB_INC) -I$(appl_inc) -isystem $(LINUX)/include -isystem $(LINUX)/include/linux Source.c

And some symbol means:

GCC_INC: directory for GCC include files.
LIB_INC: directory for LIBC include files.
LINUX: Linux kernel directory.

[code]....

As shown above, some include files are read from unexpected directory. This causes some severe compile errors. I've verified these by adding '-E' to the command line. How can I order GCC to read files from where I'm expect?

General :: Bash Dirs Command And +N Option?

Feb 8, 2011

I'm trying to use the dirs command with the +N option. The manual says: dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Direc- tories are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from the list. +n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with zero.

dirs -v shows:
0 /dir1/
1 /dir2/
2 /dir3/

However, dir +n 1, dir +N 1, dir -v +n 1, dir -v +N 1 all give:

General :: Find/search Root Partition ONLY?

Jun 11, 2010

Say I need to do: find / -name somefile.txt

And say root partition / is mounted on /dev/sda5; however, let's say I also have 250GB partitions (/dev/sda6, /dev/sda7) mounted in /media - AND another location that I cannot currently remember. Say, also, that I know the file I'm looking for is on /dev/sda5.

Obviously, the above command will also descend in /media and that other directory which represent the big partitions, wasting time in looking for the file in the wrong place.

Is there a way to instruct find (or other command) to search only / on /dev/sda5, and NOT to descend to directories if they are on different partitions ?

General :: Pausing Kernel During Boot - VFS Cannot Find Root Partition

Sep 28, 2010

First time trying anything like this. I'm running a Abit NF7 with a silicon image 3112 that's support was broken in 2.6.35. I get a kernel panic when VFS can't find the root partition, I can't remember the exact line (can't log it, root isn't mounted yet) but it says something like sata1: link down (sstatus 0 scontrol 0). I think there might be a more telling error message before, but it flies by too fast to see or capture with my camera video recorder.

There's a patch that reverts back to when there was a delay in /drivers/ata/libata-sff.c in the function ata_sff_tf_load, by calling ata_wait_idle(ap) which fixes the issue for some people but not my system. I don't know anything about what I'm doing, but I thought I'd go through and add printk's in each function in sata_sil and see how far the device was initialized. I did this but they all happen early in the boot that flies by. Is there any way to add a pause like the "more" command? [URL]

General :: Disable - Non-root Shell Command To Find If A User Account Is Enabled Or Not?

Aug 10, 2011

Is 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.
