All I see from googling examples in awk is converting current date. How do I convert a list of past or future dates for example :
Jan18'09
Aug 7'98
Jun20'11
Apr 1'10
I will be using it to compare dates in a file and act on it accordingly.
find / -newer -10 mtime +30.i want to check only those files which are modified yesterday.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am getting little bit difficult in sorting the date ranges which are in a field like:
How make a sort as per the Month and date , i mean result should be as per the month and date wise. If i go for the sort -M , i am not able to get the list as per date of the particular month.
Cannot sudo and gets this message: timestamp too far in the future. I don't have gui interface.

I am working on the script parsing specific message "TEST" from multiple file. The log file name looks like:
N3.2009-11-26-03-05-02.console.log.tar.gz
N4.2009-11-29-00-25-03.console.log.tar.gz
N6.2009-12-01-10-05-02.console.log.tar.gz
I am using the following command:
zgrep -a --text "TEST" * | awk -F"[ .,]" '{sub(".*:","",$6); sub(",.*","",$7); print $1,$6,$7,$10}
and getting
N3 2009-11-25 20:12:57 TEST
N4 2009-11-28 10:42:18 TEST
N6 2009-12-01 10:00:24 TEST
If I only want to search the log file after 2009-11-29, what shall I change the command?
I have tried to find the solution for my problem on this site and other sites but haven't found a good enough answer yet. Maybe some of you can help me out here?What i need is a script (bash preferrably) that can delete directories based on a date in its dirname.For example.I have a bunch of directories that is named
data-20110623/
data-20110624/

Since open office is now bought by oracle I am confused about the state of the latest version of OO version 3.2 I think. Would it be legal to install that version on a computer. Oracle perhaps made a bummer with this. The real dev community is thrown out and we are again looking at corporate greed taking precedence for their own profit rather than development of technology. I have high hopes from libre office but then one more open source product (it was not sun's to begin with remember) being swallowed by a corporate.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to get the modified date on a file in linux to use in a script.I tried using 'ls -l' on the file, but this caused problems when the date turned from a single digit into a double. The reason for the problem was because I was parsing the result string on spaces.How can I get the date of the last time a file was modified so I can use it in a script? For example, if a file was modified on 1/11/2010, I need the 11.

The machine boots off of the Ubuntu NBE 10.04 CD-ROM, goes to the splash-screen (the Ubuntu Logo and 4 orange/grey dots) and after a few seconds the splash screen clears, the screen goes blank, and the CD-ROM drive stops reading. That's it. I ran the Check CD-ROM utility from the boot menu of the cd-rom and it checked good. I ran the check RAM (MemTest) utility and that was good as well. I put the CD-ROM in my Dell Inspiron and it ran just fine letting me into the LiveCD environment.
I've tried Alt-Ctl-F1 to see if there's a command prompt, but that doesn't work. I can't find any special key combination that does anything for me.
I also burned a copy of Puppy Linux 5.0, and that meets with pretty much the same results. It gets to "Setting up the layered filesystem... Done" and then "Performing a 'switch_root' to the layered filesystem...Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
And that's the end of the show... she will go no further.
The thing has Win XP installed on it and functional, so the machine works...
I have a log file that has an I/O Error about halfway in. It is a syslog file with Sendmail log entries. I need to break into smaller files. I tried using a simple egrep command creating new files by the date _egrep "^Sep 19" filename_ but the command hangs when it hits the I/O Error.
I tried split but it bails out when it hits the I/O Error. Is there anyway to read the file and get past the I/O Error? IS there a way to read the file from the bottom up so I can get the data from the top and bottom?
Installed FC-8 (DVD) on old dell 866mhez desktop years ago; works like a champ. Inherited dimension 2400, used same DVD. No errors loading (std config). Reboot and linux starts. Gets to 'Set clock - ok' and hangs on 'starting UDev'

i'm running ubuntu maverick on a dell laptop and it was working flawlessly until the audio started stuttering so I looked up a possible cure for it. I came accross a post that said uninstalling pulseaudio would cure the problem - so i did through software centre. When I was uninstalling it there was configuration files to uninstall as well. When I shut down the laptop and tried to restart it, it goes to login screen with my name but when I click on login it goes back to the same screen. This is the first time this has happened and im not sure what I can do.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSo I have a resolution problem. Before posting here, I've checked many MANY forums for similar issues, handpicking certain techniques and trying each. Sometimes they worked, and then my problem came back.
Distro: Fedora 14
Monitor: emachines 18.5" E181HV
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
resolution: 1360x768
My problem is that the resolution will never stretch past 1024x768. I have the image of my desktop in the middle part of the screen, with black sections on either side. Here is a list of things that I've already done or tried:
Install Nvidia drivers
disable Nouveau via grub.conf
use xrandr to modify xorg.conf and add the resolution
different cable
different DVI converter
One day, I logged into my Fedora boot, and after a week of frustration, the issue decided to fix itself. So I continued on, using Fedora and planning on a permanent switch from Windows. I log back over to Windows to play some games and whatnot (I'm not a fan of how Wine handles some games). I then log back to Fedora, and the issue is back. The resolution is messed up again.I've since removed that partition from my drive, as I've reached my wits end with troubleshooting. My linux expert friend tells me it may be that my monitor is just not good enough, or is not sending/receiving the proper EID signature, thus will not accept the resolution, or something along those lines.
im trying to collect some data. Is there a way to get the free memory stats over the past few days from some file... i looked into the sar log files but they dont have date stamps in them!

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've got rkhunter installed and regularly do scans immediately before & after updates & if I get warnings about 'file property updates' after the update I use 'rkhunter --propupd' to give me a clean run.I'm about to setup a ubuntu computer for my nan, I want to enable automatic security updates so she doesn't have to do anything to keep her system secure. I was planning on running rkhunter when I go to her house (about once a month) and check the dates in the resulting rkhunter.log warnings with those in the var/log/apt/history.log to see if legitimate updates caused any rkhunter warnings. I've noticed though that the 'Current file modifiation time:' in the rkhunter.log warnings are incorrect.
My system seems to be about 15 days behind the actual date, I've now run rkhunter --propupd so I have no warnings but got this one off another forum post to show what I mean:
Current file modification time: 1283341157 (01-Sep-2010 06:39:17)
I believe that the '1283341157' is the time in some strange format and the date in brackets is what rkhunter thinks it might be in human format.
1) How to interpret the 'strange date format' (1283341157 in the line above)?
2) If there's a way of configuring the date in rkhunter so that they're correct in rkhunter.log?
3) If there's a better way of keeping her system up-to-date & secure, it's her first computer & she's 86 so I think setting up automatic security updates is the way to go, it'll be one less thing to overwhelm her!
