While experimenting with rsync, I accidently deleted a bunch of files in the /proc directory. I think it was the directories: 1, 2, 3 ... 10.This happened a few days ago and after rebooting a number of times, I do not notice any problems.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a big rookie mistake in a script in cron.daily, which emptied the directory when I tested it... now I'm left with an empty cron.daily directory, and from what I know there definitely were more scripts there than only my own. Does anybody know what scripts CentOS 5.4 (Final) needs in the cron.daily?

As you can imagine, it gets quite a few people signing up to abuse the service.Recently I've found a LOT of people setting up sites with a particular script that floods forums and IRC chat rooms. The names of the files are as follows:
peindom1.php
peindom2.php
peindom3.php
peindom4.php
Is there a command I can run to remove files with these filenames ANYWHERE on the server (so basically, a command to go through all folders on the server and remove instances of that name
3 partitions (in order): Windows 7, CentOS and shared data partition.
I need to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (c:windowswinsxs seems to be something not easily remedied).
GParted didn't work in moving things around (bad sector) so I wiped out its partition (# 2 out of 3) and I was able to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (I can reinstall CentOS easily and not much work lost).
Except ... no more grub menu (unsurprising). This incantation does allow me to boot into Windows 7.
Is there any way of rebuilding the grub menu short of reinstalling CentOS (5.5)?
I want to limit delete of a particular folder in the user's home folder and to restrict any add/change/delete on files in that restricted directory.
/home/myuser
/home/myuser/_protected //no delete
/home/myuser/_protected/1.txt //only read
How can I do that on Ubuntu server?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I installed F12 x86_64 version the other day. Everything was going okay. So today I signed on to my windows 7 instead. While I was on it. I was looking at the extra space I had allocated for F12. Well I thought I was going to delete that but I actually deleted the F12 partition. This means that I don't have a MBR anymore. Is there anyway I can get my original MBR back onto my windows 7? I'm going to buy a separate hard drive to install windows 7 later. I just would like to know if I really screwed up by deleting F12. If this helps, it did switch my bootloader from the main MBR in 7, to grub. I tried EasyBCD to reinstall it but it keeps say it failed.

There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
I have created a number of network block devices that I would like to delete, but I have been unable to find any information to do this.
I am using Centos 5.6 and my kernel is 2.6.18-238.el5.
I have been searching the internet for two days now and have noticed some other UNIX systems do have utilities for deleting unwanted devices but nothing for linux.
I created these devices with the vmware supplied PERL script vmware-mount.pl which in turn calls mknod.
The commands would look like:
mknod /dev/nbd0 b 43 0
mknod /dev/nbd1 b 43 1
......
I have tried deleting them from /dev which works temporarily but they come back when I reload the nbd module i.e.
modprobe -r nbd
modprobe nbd
and also if I reboot.
There is a directory tree for each device under /sys/block and I'm guessing this is how /dev is getting repopulated. I cannot remove the directory trees from /sys/block. I get this when I try:
rm: cannot remove `nbd15/queue/iosched/slice_idle': Operation not permitted
rm: cannot remove `nbd15/queue/iosched/slice_async_rq': Operation not permitted
...... there are 25 lines like this ....
When I do a vgsan I see this:Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
/dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error
and in the messages log I see this:

For whatever reason, I somehow deleted my top panel and couldn't shut down. I built a new one and have put some apps on it but still could use 'Places' any idea how to recreate that? Can my original panel be restored? I am still very new to this.

What is wrong and what should I do?
Allright, I made a simple script that tarballs my SQL databases weekly and saves them to a backup harddrive.If possible, I would like to have the backups uploaded to a remote server for storage. But, I must have the script delete the previous upload for size contraints.I can only use rsync, scp or sftp. Haven't used any of them really before... Here's my basic tarball-backup script:
Code:
#/bin/sh
# Dates the new tarballs of current builds.
DATE=`date +%m_%d_%Y`

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to delete all files older than 7 days in a directory temp1.I have try different ways but nothing happend:
find /temp1/* -mtime +7 -exec rm rf
find . -mtime +7 -exec rm rf
find /temp1/* -mtime +7 -print -exec rm{}
So I am working on a clients PC, and after I saved their data on an external hard drive I left it plugged in while I reinstalled Windows for them.....I HATE Windows. Stupid OS doesnt know any better than to just go deleting everything. Ubuntu would have known better than to delete multiple hard drives like that.
Anyway, please tell me I can salvage this data for my client? It was probably just reformatted. The data should still be there right?
Lifetime Windows user here, finally decided to dualboot Ubuntu =) So far, I've been doing pretty good with figuring things out on my own but now...I was customizing the panel and accidentally clicked "remove from panel" on the clock, which took with it the controller for banshee, bluetooth menu, ect. I can use Add to Panel to get a clock back, but it doesnt have the other things that were attached to the default one =S
View 3 Replies View Relatedemoving some applications/libraries in synaptics and accidentally removed gnome-core.I am on a wpa2 hidden wireless network, and getting that up and running through the terminal in recovery mode has been killer, I've searched about half a dozen threads and nothing is seeming to work.My wired like is pretty far away and I really do not want to keep moving my desktop all over the house.When in the terminal i type apt-get install gnome-core it tells me I need to download 11 new packages, of course it fails because theres no connection. Is there any way I could use a command to compile a list packages I need to reinstall gnome-core, manually retrieve them from the ftp.us.debian.org, save them to eternal media and install them with dpkg -i *.deb?
