Every time I need to find a file and then open it, I have to use :
find ./ -name **.properties. , then copy the result, and then vi "paste the result here" .
If I need to use a mouse, it can be a little trouble. So is there any better way to do this?

I really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution.
I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.
I am frustrated by running a script on the Fedora 14 computer as a cron job. I paste the code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#a backup script to copy data from sda to sdc
ROOTVOL=`blkid -U ea210a08-6212-4dc8-be1c-23fce3b965bc`
[code]....
So when I run this as root, for example:
Code:
# /root/myscript
the result is what I expect:
Code:
Jul 1 13:41:16 svn root: ADMIN: Executing backup-svn
Jul 1 13:41:16 svn root: using blkid ea210a08-6212-4dc8-be1c-23fce3b965bc as /dev/mapper/vg_svn_backup-lv_root

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 ?.
I have the following commande /sbin/fuser -f -u /u/DT01/F010107 1>/tmp/null 2>/tmp/seausr.T0069 when executing as root 'su' this give me all user using the file. but when tried with 'sudo' i am asked with 'user password'. Is ther anyway to simply get the result without having to supply a password and to see all user not only me. (i have the file open also).

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a bit of a long shot and I think the answer will be no but I thought I'd ask just in case. I have a number of tutorials in html but I want to be able to search for particular information in these files and display that information in the terminal rather than having to go through a browser. Apart from using grep which gives a pretty messy display or having to write a a specially Bash or python script, is there any command line tools that can provide such a function?

View 14 Replies View RelatedTrying to find a way to have the find command perform a search using multiple file extensions such as "find all pics" i.e. .jpg, .png, .gif, .raw etc. I would have thought something like the following would have worked, but apparently I'm doing something wrong:
sudo find / -type f -iname "*.jpg" "*.png" "*.gif" -printf
I'm guessing find simply doesn't support more than one "-name/-iname" at a time? Or perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? I realize most times there's several different ways to skin a cat when a task is requested in linux/unix.
When looking for a certain word or phrase in the man page of linux command, one can type '/' followed by the word/phrase to search for it. What I'd like to be able to do is to search for the next occurrence of the word/phrase without having to type it out again. Kinda like when you use 'ctrl+f' in a browser to search for a word, and then press 'enter' to find the next occurrence of that word.If this is possible to do, how do I do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a program that would locate the oldest file of a certain type on a server. Here's the commands:
OLDEST_PATH=`find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1`
OLDEST_FILE=`find -L $OLDEST_PATH | grep .mp3 | sort -f | head -1`
ls -al $OLDEST_FILE
I'm writing this all in expect but I'm having problems. The main problem I have is whenever I try to run the first command, I can't seem to isolate the result of the OLDEST_PATH so that the 2nd command will work. There always seems to be a newline in the variable and the result is only "find -L" command running and it bypasses the variable. If I can just figure out how to get the 1st and 2nd command to work, then I can figure out the 3rd. Here's some code:
Code:
send "find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1
"
sleep 20
expect -re "(.*)
[Code]....
I know there is a better way to write this. I've tried multiple ways and this just happens to be the last way I've tried it. If you try running this, you'll notice that there is still carriage returns after the result of OLDEST_PATH and it prevents the 2nd "find" command from working properly.

~away, the "other" body of water varies ~blackNatural gas leaching.
IT MUST LOOK LIKE:

Upon a while of searching, I think I failed to find the correct terms and I'm posting here. I often use mlocate to search for files. For example, if I say
Code:
$ mlocate temp_2.pdf
I'll get two results:
Code:
/home/kmc/Documents/latex/temp_2.pdf
/home/kmc/Documents/latex/test/temp_2.pdf
Now if I want to open one of them, I'll have to either open Acroread and browse to their locations. Or select and copy, and call acroread in terminal like
Code:
$ acroread /home/kmc/Documents/latex/temp_2.pdf
This is tedious to me. I'm thinking of a way of quickly open its search results, I've tried pipes like this but it doesn't work:
Code:
$ mlocate temp_2.pdf | acroread
maybe it doesn't work this way. So what does the trick? What's the name of this trick? I've googled for
Quote:
Linux bash catch output, pipe output, open mlocate results And is it possible to handle multiple lines of output, e.g., can I choose which line of output get forwarded to relative programs?
After contracting malware on Vista i decided to switch over to Linux and chose to start of with Ubuntu because of the graphical interface. that being said, you have no doubt inferred that i have no coding experience. basically i was hoping to find some nice tutorials and sites for Ubuntu. Also, i did downloaded the suggested programs and patches but im still experiencing problems with Adobe,flash, and and opening .exe files. for the latter, when i click on .exe files it is equivalent of using explorer on windows so i was wondering how to use the command prompt to open them. supposedly linux is susceptible to malware so if you could please suggest a anti -malware program.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was not in touch with linux for couple of years now. So I forgot a command I used to use. I recently installed Fedora 12 and I can not remember what was that command.Here is what it used to do: I remember that I used to run a special search command on server that used to find a file very fast because it was kind a database based command. To enable it for first time after linux installation, I used to build an index of computer's files and then I could use its command [don't remember if it was "find" or "search"].
So my question if anybody know what I am talking about and what is name of these two commands. How can I build the index first.
Any solution using awk/sed/regexp or other standard linux utility (this is for a mix of RH versions)? I am dealing with some very large application log files. I want to see everything that has been written to the log since the last application restart.
For an example take a log file like this:
Code:
# cat test.log
1 msg
2 msg
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
The following command is close to what I want:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
But the awk command grabs the first restart not the last. If it was working the way I wanted I would see something like this:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
5 restart 2
6 msg
So, I need something in that search pattern that says look for the last occurrence. I know how to do this with a pipe line - I could reverse the file and then do a similar awk and reverse back, or I could find the number associated with the last restart and then use that in the awk search. But these just take too long because the file is too big.
I'm writing a script that edits a Maya ascii file. Inside the .MA(maya ascii file) there is a line defaultRenderGlobals. My script is supposed to find this line and according to what options they manipulate will update the lines below defaultRenderGlobals. I've got that working... but... the issue i'm having is that defaultRenderGlobals is only made when a the maya scene is made into a batch render. I want my script to manually addefaultRenderGlobals line into the .ma file if its not there and add the certain lines below it.RenderGlobals is already there I want to just manipulate whats below it. Hope this makes sense
