View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Change Hardlinks To Softlinks
Mar 23, 2010A missuse of the tool "fslint" created many (realy many) hardlinks in my /home folder. Now I am looking for a script, which converts all those hardlinks into softlinks. The difficult part will be to select a "major file". This is normally the file with the shortest path.
Using
Code:
find . -type f -printf "%n %p
"
I get all files including hard link count.

General :: Osx - Move A Bunch Of Hardlinked Files From A Box Onto OS X Mac And Preserve The Hardlinks?
Dec 8, 2010I have an rsnapshot backup that I need to move off of a corrupt Linux file system. I need to preserve the internal hardlinks. I've tried rsync -H and using a newer rsync and neither preserve the hardlinks on OS X.
I tried to get rsync -H working and I've isolated it to the file system mounted. I can preserve hard links copying locally (HFS to HFS) but it doesn't preserve when I try to rsync off of a SMB file system mount or AFP file system mount. Is there some mount option solution to getting OS X rsync to obey -H?
Fedora :: Coverting Symlinks To Hardlinks
Aug 11, 2011I'm wondering if there is a safe and reliable way of converting symlinks to directories to hardlinks? Basically I have a bunch of files in a directory tree under directory A, and I have in another directory B a set of symlinks to the original site. I would like all the files to end up in B and A to be empty. The links are all to directories, not to files, so the soft2hard script here won't work.
I don't have enough free diskspace to copy the files from A to B so I thought that converting the softlinks to hard links and then removing directory A would work? There are many directories, so would like to do it automatically if at all possible.
(In case anyone is intrigued, the issue is with my maildir directory. I used to use kmail, but with the move to kmail2 it became buggy and virtually unusable with large amounts of mail and I had to find another solution. I now use dovecot with gnus and mutt as MUA to access the maildirs. kmails maildirs are non-standard (!), so with the help of a script I found online, I created ~/dovecot and in it put symlinks to all the maldirs under ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail. The problem with this is if I accidentally start kmail it will try to access that directory and mess up all my tags, so I want to completely move all my mail from ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail to ~/dovecot, but without messing up all my tags etc.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Links Browser Script - Automatically Fills In The Credentials On The Links Login Page?
Dec 6, 2010At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.
Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using
Code:
And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.
Literally, the process is
Code:
Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.
Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.
My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;
1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and
2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?
Programming :: Scripting : Change Markdown Links To Wikitext Links?
Feb 3, 2009I have a personal wiki of notes, with now thousands of links in markdown format:
[link text](http://example.com)
but now that fckeditor is available for mediawiki (very beta), it has become much better to just stick with wikitext format. There are only a few conversions to do: tables, links, and bulleted lists. The lists are a fairly simple regex and fckeditor magically reformats the tables, so all I'm left with is the links. But I'm not a regex master. How do I reformat code...

General :: Links Don't Work After Mount?
Jul 26, 2010I work in a lab when all the guys use PCs with Windows and access the lab linux servers via ssh.
I prefer linux, so I have a local installation of ubuntu 10.4 on my PC. I mount the home of our lab server using mount server:/home /mnt/home/. I can then access the files on the server (I had to change my local UID to match the one assigned to me on our server in order to be able to write to my home dir).
The problem is all the (symbolic) links I have on the server don't work when I access them through the mounted location. I guess the system simply tries following the link in my local /home instead on server:/home.

May 26, 2011I am, as the forum title suggests, new to linux and to programming and having trouble figuring out how to do this.I have a very large XML file with a lot of information in it. I'm trying to get a single tag out of the file, each of these tags contains a single web link and I want to download the file at every single one of those links. I really don't know how to do this.My thought, though its probably not the most efficient or correct way, was to use VIM to search the document and somehow extract all of this one particular tag and then use wget on the links.

Mar 27, 2011copy all symlinks
i want to copy all symlinks (both active and dead) from one partition's os's user's home directory, to another partition's os's user's home directory, and i'm wondering if this can be accomplished with some clever bash options and pipes after "cp".
this is very useful for users with multiboot systems, who keep all their data on a separate drive. this would allow the symlink'ed shortcut tree directory hierarchy expedience, to be instantly copyable to any of their oses.
distro-hoppers/surfers will love it. ^_^
so here goes my first attempt at trying to work out what it'd be...
cp -P
(copy, dont follow symbolic links)
(or is it -d i aught use?)
find /% -type l

General :: Cannot Get Links To Work From Internal Webpage
Jun 6, 2011I just setup my first Linux box using [URL] everything went along fine except now I have a problem that I cannot seem to solve. I've set up a webpage on the box for my company's intra-net for testing purposes but I cannot get the links to work. On the server itself all the links work but Firefox still ask me to authenticate with the Adobe Flashplayer (player10), but when I access the page from another computer I have the following issues:-
1. Even though hostname -f shows the a fully qualified domain name I have to use the IP Address eg. 192.168.100.100
2. I can access the page but the links leading to the other pages do not work I get "Webpage cannot be found or the HTTP 404 Not Found" Error Message
3. None of the embedded pictures show up I get the red X.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Runlevel Scripts And Creating Links?
Dec 16, 2010I have learned without a doubt what runlevels are...the questions I have are related to the init scripts and how to create a link to an init script. I see that there was a post where someone was trying to get people to do homework for them...I assure you I want to understand what I am trying to learn. That said, here are my hang ups:
1. The script that contains the default runlevel to my understanding is /etc/rc.d/init.d, though I've also found /etc/inittab on the web as the default. My book isn't too clear on this as it doesn't state it exactly, so which is it for sure?
2. My assignment asks what I'd name a link to an init script that would start a fictitious BIGD daemon early on in the boot process. My answer: /etc/rc.5.bigd.d --I don't think that this is the right answer though because in the book, it states that the /etc/rc.d/rcN.d contains names of scripts whose names begin with K and S. My understading in that this starts and kills each script depending on how it's entered.
