View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there would be a way for me to copy the contents of a shared folder that's running on an XP system using shell script. Actually, there are two shared folders that I want to do this with. I want to be able to launch the script and automatically copy all the contents of each folder into two separate folders on my ubuntu desktop. For example;
Lets say that I have Shared Folders A1 and A2 on my networked XP system and I have Folders B1 and B2 on my Ubuntu desktop. I want the script to automatically copy the contents of A1 into B1 and likewise for A2 and B2. During the copying, I want the script set up such that any pre-existing files in the B1 & B2 folders will automatically get overwritten by the ones copied from A1 & A2.Is there any possibilities of me achieving this?
I would like to make a one-liner, which diff's "ps aux" output before and after killing a process. So basically it should be a combination of fallowing commands:
1) diff -u
2) ps aux | awk '{print $2}'
3) kill `ps aux | grep [c]ron | awk '{print $2}'`
4) ps aux | awk '{print $2}'
How to achieve this? Something like this:
Code:
diff $( kill `ps aux | grep [c]ron | awk '{print $2}'` && ps aux | awk '{print $2}' ) $( ps aux | awk '{print $2}' )
I don't have pgrep or pkill available.
Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to copy a file (home/remote_computer_user/Desktop/test1.txt) from my remote office computer (a permanent URL + open port) to my home computer (home/home_computer_user/Downloads/).
How can I do this with shell commands in Linux?

What are the exact commands I should use?
I often have issues starting my window manager--xfce. My computer misbehaves in one of 3 ways, one of which is to fail to open X, but generate several screens of info. I want to paste that info to this site, but since I'm in the shell, not the terminal (please correct my vocabulary if it's wrong here), I don't know how to copy and paste the output, since right-clicking doesn't give me a menu. Even if I could copy I'm not sure the information would be accessible in X. Are there any other options?

I need to make my 1st ever script to backup VMware workstation VMs to a folder which is then backed up offsite. Here is what I have so far (will be croned):
Code:
sudo vmrun -T ws stop "/home/gareth/vmware/NagiosWeb/NagiosWeb.vmx" soft
sudo vmrun -T ws stop "/home/gareth/vmware/UbuntuBackup/UbuntuBackup.vmx" soft
**copy or rsync to /home/gareth/vmware-backup/ dir**
[code]....
1. Just to confirm, I need to place the above in a file with #!/bin/bash at the top and make it executable.
2. How do I know when the VMs have safely shut down so I can start the copy? I guess I can either a. wait a specified amount of time b. run some sort of if statement to confirm they are off.
3. How do I use Rsync or cp to copy to the backup folder?
4. How will I know the copy is complete so that I can start the VMs again?
