General :: Move A File To Some Path And Create That Path When It Doesn't Exist?
Oct 8, 2010I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.

General :: Forcing An Absolute Path Where A Relative Path Is Expected
Feb 21, 2011I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?

Programming :: Create A ZIP In Perl Without Storing Path Information?
Mar 1, 2010I have the following code snippet:
Code:
my $file = 'test/mybigfile';
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
my $zipped = $zip->addFile($file);
[code]....
it simply takes a file (in this case, "mybigfile") and creates a ZIP file containing that file only. Now, my problem is that when I go to decompress the ZIP file, it creates the relative (or absolute, depending on case) path of the original file. To make an example:
Code:
$ pwd
/tmp/perl
$ ls -R
[code]....
What I need is *not* to store the path information inside of the ZIP file, so that once I decompress the ZIP file I only get the original one without having paths created.
CentOS 5 :: Create Repo And Wrong Path In Primary.xml.gz?
May 24, 2010I want to set up an installation server for CentOS 5.5, using PXE for boot, kickstart for package selection (one for server), and NFS for share all files needed.I've succesfully completed a fresh installation of CentOS5 from the DVD for one of my servers (virgil), and I've copied the anaconda-ks.cfg generated by the installer to my install server (beatrix).
Next, I've properly configured the /etc/dhcpd.conf , the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<IP_CODED> and the /etc/exports for NFS sharing on beatrix.Then, I've copied all the first DVD of CentOS5 content in this folder on beatrix: /opt/CentOS_install I've tried to start virgil from ethernet, and all has gone ok, with the kickstart and so on! But I've decided to apply the updates (new kernel, sudo, xorg, ...), so I've deleted the old rpms from /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS and copied the new ones (downloaded from http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/). So, I've launched the following commands to recreate the repodata:
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # mv repodata/comps.xml CentOS/
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # rm -fr repodata
root@beatrix:/opt/CentOS_install/ # createrepo -p -o /opt/CentOS_install/ -g comps.xml /opt/CentOS_install/CentOS
But when I try to reinstall virgil, an error message appears, telling me that a package (perl-DBI-...) isn't present in the media.After some debugging, I've noticed that in the /opt/CentOS_install/repodata/primary.xml.gz there isn't the correct path for the rpms. If you look at the original primary.xml, the "path" is like:path="CentOS/abcxyz.rpm" while in the generated file (with createrepo) the path is:
path="abcxyz.rpm".How can I recreate the repodata with the correct path information?

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Include The Subdirectories In A Chown?
Jul 19, 2010When I installed a new copy of my distro on another partition, in order to preserve all the settings from my old my user account, I made a user account with the same name on the new installation, and then copied my old user account's files (in their entirety) to the new user account, overwriting it. I did the copying from the root account (where else? I assume the new user account can't overwrite itself while it's open), and root became the owner of everything I copied, making it impossible to open the new user account. So I then chowned the new user account's folder to myself. I still can't get in, because apparently, chown only chowned the top folder, leaving all subdirectories owned by root. How do I make chown include all subdirectories? I scanned the man page, but didn't see a parameter.

For example if you had a directory full of folders that contained digital photos (along with various other files which would need to remain unaffected), and the intent was to remove the "DSC_" prefix from several thousand files buried within. I've whipped up a rather long-winded solution that works well for this purpose but chokes on directory names with spaces. I am reasonably sure there's a 2 or 3-liner that would accomplish this exact same task.

Mar 24, 2010I am trying to write a very simple script that will go to every subdirectory of a single directory and run a command (lets call it make_ndx).I know I can write this the long way with in a text document with something like:
cd /"the directory"/"the 1st subdirectory"
make_ndx
cd ..
cd "the 2nd subdirectory"
cd ..
Alternatively, I also tried: for i in 'find /path/somemorepath -type d -mindepth 1'; do cd $i; make_ndx -f *.gro; done which returns me with the error cd: find: no such file or directory. But if I run the find command by itself to test if I am calling the right directories, it gives me the exactly the output I am looking for. Any ideas? Should I just write the find results to a file and loop through the contents of the file (which seems a little bit like overkill) or am I just making a simple typographical mistake and I am just not seeing it?
