I need a script that executes a command based on a folder's last modified time.
if "/var/data" was modified in less than an hour then "/usr/local/etc/searchd stop" should be run
can we use "find -mmin +60 -type d" in conjunction with second command
Possible Duplicate: Linux equivalent to robocopy? I have two websites - one is basically a development version and the other is a production version of the same site. So I'd like to be able to merge the changes made to the development site based on the modified date of the files. Is this possible with the 'cp' command?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to upload files from my computer to an FTP site and I don't want to upload files that are already on the server. So I need a tool that finds out which local files that are different from the ones on the server, or that don't exists on the server.
Some requirements:
I'm using a cheap provider that does not support rsync or ssh, so I can only use FTP. I generate the files before uploading them, so comparing timestamps is meaningless. I've tried lftp with the mirror command. It's slow (I think it uploads all the files). I upload the files from different computers, so I can't use sitecopy, which uses a local database to keep track of which files are on the server. I'd like to be able to upload all changed files with one command. Preferably no GUI application. And it needs to run in Ubuntu.
I was thinking about creating a tool similar to sitecopy, but which stores checksums of all the files on the FTP server on the server itself. But then I thought that there may already be such a tool.
How can I make copy only files the have been modified today
as far as get
Code:
find myworkingfolder -ctime 0|xargs -i cp {}-ap bakupfolder
Is it ctime or mtime? and how i add this command to crontab?.
I need to know all files modified within a date and time range.E.g: All modified files between 20 April 2010, 1100-1200 Hrs."find / -mtime +10 ! -mtime +11" :: this i found for date but how to include time as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was messing around with fed 12 yesterday (only on a test installation) and i've hit a snag. I installed openbox and tint2, nitrogen, obconf etc so i could have a #!-style session at startup. It all worked fine until i installed pcmanfm and removed nautilus. The problem is that i can't display files in my home directory, either using pcmanfm, a reinstalled nautilus, or in terminals. Every time i try to point a file brower there it just seems to get stuck searching forever, until i kill it. Weirdly in terminator i can do an 'ls' to see visible files, but 'ls -la' causes the problem again.
ps i thought permissions might have something to do with it, so i did a 'chmod -R 777' as root. it changed permissions for quite a lot of the files but then froze again, and now the problem persists.
In Linux bash shell, for a given directory, how can I list:The create date for that directory The number of files in that directory The number of subdirectories in that directory.

I'm guessing I'd have to use some sort of .[jJ][pP][gG] to get all the pictures from other examples i've seen, but really not sure how to use that in a recursive cp.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am searching for a program which may be used in order to display a list of modified (non-distribution-default) configuration files. For example, assume we have installed package "example-utility" which uses /etc/example-utility.conf as one of its configuration files. The package provides a default configuration file upon its installation. Assume we have modified /etc/example-utility.conf according to our needs. This file should be included in the listing produced by the program I am looking for.
If such a tool does not exist, I would like to create it. However, I am new to RPM-based systems, and, as such, I am having difficulties finding the necessary documentation. Should I be reading the yum source code? Is there some sort of document describing the package database on RH/CentOS/etc. systems and how 3rd party applications are supposed to work with this database?
I have a simple scripting question. I am trying to list all files that have been modified in the last day and then collect metadata on those files. This command is going to be run on a number of nodes via ssh so I would like to append the hostname to start of each line (the below example has blade1 as the hostname). As you can see the loop is splitting the ls command out onto a separate line for each value. What I need to do is keep the `ls -ld` output all on one line and have the hostname echoed in front of each line.
for i in `find /var -mtime -1 | xargs ls -ld`; do echo `hostname` $i; done
blade1 drwxr-xr-x.
blade1 2
blade1 user
blade1 group
blade1 4096
blade1 Nov
blade1 30
blade1 08:55
blade1 /var/cache/gdm/user
I clone my entire notebook hdd once a month to a USB drive with an identical disk once a month using dd. I would like to find a way to automatically or manually do incremental backups at shorter intervals.
The first problem is that my incremental backup drive is not the same as my full backup drive (which is my clone). Is there some way to backup or copy all files on a document partition modified after a certain date?
The second problem is that my document partition is NTFS-3G. I guess this could be done pretty easily using "dump" if I stored my docs on ext. [I don't because I want to make sure that my docs are accessible from any machine (say in an Internet cafe) should my MacBook die and I need to rip out the hard drive and run to do my homework on another system; that is why I keep my docs on my Vista partition].
I'm about to do a migration on a laptop where I have had to make a number of modifications to files mainly in /etc/ but I have lost track of what I have done. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to identify those files that have been modified from their packaged versions?

I'm almost done a larger script which takes all the pictures in a folder, converts it to video, and emails it to me. Everything worked fine until I realized the picture filenames weren't always starting at 1, then ffmpeg chokes.

I have an external 2.5" eSATA drive which up till now was using via USB2.0 connection and was working perfectly. The drive is pretty new - I think less then a year and it's a Seagate too of which I think to be more reliable although still consumer based.I had connected the drive to FreeBSD 8.0 32bit on my server in ReadOnly mode using ext2fs in order to stream the information across my network.
Plugging the drive into Linux recently yielded everything performing fine, as the drive stores all the seasons of a TV show I started recognizing that things where outa whack when the linearity of the episodes stopped being sequential and previous episodes started playing when clicking an incremented episode.
The drive is formatted with the ext3 filesystem and I have already attempted to run e2fsck -p on it which showed up as the drive being 'clean'.I then attempted to use my notebooks eSATA Express card to connect the drive via the eSATA cable as I have found it to be more reliable then the USB2 / ext3 solution which I've had my fair share of problems with. However, the drives TOC or Journal maybe damaged by whatever reason so I will need to repair that.I stumbled across Magic Rescue and so far have compiled it but not used it as I wanted to be sure first if there was another way to do this.
In my bash script I need to move files in a folder if it is not in use.
Code:
for entry in `ls /root/shared_storage/input`; do
echo $entry
run=`lsof /root/shared_storage/input/$entry`
ru=${run:0:5}
echo $entry
if [ "$ru" == "" ]; then
........
It worked fine sometimes but sometimes it just get stuck at lsof. Is there any other way that I can use here to check if the $entry is using some other process?
Is there anyway to make a hash (or similar), of a folder of files, for data integrity purposes?
I tried with sha1sum, but it cant do it.
Is it possible with some other software?
I was just curious to know where you submit a new or modified distro after making one. Not that I did--I'm not a programmer. But is there a particular place you submit a distro to, or do you just find some website to host it?
