I'm relatively experienced with UNIX and Linux, but this has me thrown for quite a loop, and it seemed like such a simple question. How would I go about finding the newest file in a file system? I thought something like:
Code:
ls -ltr `find /usr -type f`
would work, but I seem to be exceeding the argument maximum for ls:
ksh: 0403-029 There is not enough memory available now
I thought something involving xargs might work, but I really suck with that command.
I have a file that's supposed to be growing in size 24/7. I want to check every 10 minutes via cron that it's actually growing. If not, send an email. Does anyone know how to write a script to do that?

To find the space occupied by files modified more than 4 years ago, i tried following.I am wondering if it is right ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was just testing specifying limit on file size to a user and have added the following to /etc/security/limits.conf bob soft fsize 100 This basically should have said not to allow bob to create anyfile greater than 100Kb in size.
But the interesting thing is, if bob already has any file which is greater than 100Kb in size, it even doesn't allow to log him into the system both from console and SSH. Also nothing is logged in logs.. How do I configure it so that, bob can login to the system even though he has any file greater than 100Kb (but doesn't allow him to create file which are greater than 100Kb) ??
I have two shell scripts:
sh1.sh
echo "First script"
echo "Now calling second one"
sh2.sh
sh2.sh
echo "Second script"
In this shell script, I want to print out which shell script called this. In this case, sh1.sh called sh2.sh. So, I want to print out "sh1.sh".How to achieve?
I was trying to find a shell script that will encode video to a an iso that I can burn for a dvd. It seems I have lost a few of my dvds and I backed them up into mkv and I need to convert it to pal so it will work until I find them. My search was leading to other formats, but I was wanting to use pal because it is smaller. My search lead me here, but this shell script is not in pal.I need a solution that would work with slackware.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Canoscan LiDE 30 scanner which works fine in Linux. I haven't used it in months, and never since moving from Jaunty x86_64 to Fedora 11 x86_64. This evening I suddenly need to scan two pages to send to someone via e-mail, and the recipient is desperate to receive them. Naturally, Xsane has decided this is the moment to screw me.
The problem: I cannot figure out how to tell Xsane that the page size is 8.5 11. It insists on scanning only the left side, 3.99 x 11. I cannot find a page size anywhere in any of the buttons.
In Preview I once got it to scan the entire page, but could not figure out how to save the image to file. Subsequently I have not been able to figure out how I did it. In any event, scanning from the small main window always scans 3.99 x 11. Adjusting the scan area manually in the Preview window allows me to change the size area in the small main window to 8.5 x 11, but when I then scan from the small main window it reverts to 3.99 x 11.
I have scanned the document a hundred times at least, each time trying different buttons, but nothing has succeeded in getting the full page.
I am supposed to take some small files, and print them to a specific printer, such that the small files are concatenated into one file. The file name has to be included in the file that gets printed.
Should I be looking to concatenate the files into one file with the file names included, and then print them?
something like: -printfunction -printername < file*
I wrote a small script that gets me the list of enabled system accounts in my system.
I figure '*' & '!' (in field #2 of /etc/shadow) mean that the account is disabled or they cannot login, hence 'safe-to-ignore'

'
for i in `cat /etc/passwd` #get each line in the passwd file
do
var1=`echo $i | cut -d':' -f3` #get user ID field
if [ $var1 -lt 500 ] && [ $var1 -gt 0 ] #compare to extract relevant IDs
[Code].....
BTW i figure the following command gives me the list of system users, but i am not able to find a way to process it further... :-(
Code:
awk -F":" '$3 >= 1 && $3 < 500 { print $1 }' /etc/passwd
