CentOS 5 :: Backup Script With TAR - Incremental Backup With Simple FTP To Another Location And Email Status
Jan 15, 2010After I spent some time discovering The BIG BANG of Universe and The Meaning of Life :
I managed somehow to create a script to make some backup of files on server and TAR it and then FTP the archive to another location FTP server and then emails result.
It also measures time needed to complete it and deletes archive older than XX days (set in find -mtime +20) and makes incremental backup every weekday and FULL on Sundays (which suits me bcoz no heavy load).
Files for TAR to include and exclude are in txt files listed each line separate name:

General :: Ubuntu - Find The Device Node File For USB Device?
Aug 23, 2011I've bought an X10 Home Automation USB interface: the CM15.
This is the information lsusb gives:

General :: Nightly Backup To An Usb Device?
Jan 20, 2011I have Mandriva 2006 on a computer that I regularly backup important directories every night to a flash drive. I use Cron for my backup with scheduled backups nightly. For my script file to do the backup, there is a line that says to copy these directories to /media/sda/backup, so I figure it was copying to the sda named usb device. Well it wasn't. It is copying to the /media/sda/backup directory on my harddrive. But I would like to copy it to a usb device. How do I find out the name of my usb device that I have plugged in?

Mar 4, 2011I am trying to find the location of a package on my linux machine. There are several commands that i have tried like 'rpm -ql kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64' but this is no good.
I also tried the following command 'rpm2cpio kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64 | cpio --list! But I get a msg saying "kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64: No such file or directory"So I decided to download the rpm and when I tried to install it I get "package kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64 is already installed"Is there any way I can find out the location of this file??? It is not in any of the /usr folders (bin, lib, lib64, include etc...)

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Ubuntu - Find The Device Associated With A Mounted USB Drive?
Jun 23, 2010How do you find the device (e.g. /dev/*) for a mounted USB drive in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? I'm trying to format a Cruzer USB flash drive, and when I plug it in, the icon for the mounted filesystem appears on my desktop. However, when I open GParted, it doesn't list the filesystem as an option to partition.
The recommendations I've found through Google include monitoring tail -f /var/log/messages, which they claim should list the device name when the drive is mounted, but this never happens for me. I've also read that the USB drive would usually be linked to /dev/sdb, but this appears as a broken link on my filesystem. How else would I find the device?
General :: How To Find The /dev/Device Mapping For NFS File System In RHEL
Jun 19, 2010Found the below from RedHat Knowledgebase
The Completely Fair Queuing (cfq) scheduler in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5appears to have worse I/O read performance than in version 4. It appears as though the Completely Fair Queuing I/O scheduler (cfq) has a regression and thus exhibits reduced read-side throughput which can affect performance for both local and NFS mounted file systems.
One way to mitigate this is to set the cfq's slice_idle parameter to zero. To change this value, execute the following command echo 0 > slice_idle in the /sys/block directory appropriate for your situation, as shown below:
echo 0 > /sys/block/hda/queue/iosched/slice_idle
We are using NFS file systems in RHEL 5.3. I would like to know how to find which /dev/Device is being used by the NFS file systems, so that I could try setting the slice_idle to '0' to see if there is any difference in performance? In /etc/fstab I only see the actual NAS volumes for the NFS file systems.
Ubuntu :: How To Find Location Of Executables
Feb 23, 2011I just installed the xubuntu-desktop package on my netbook (running UNR), and I've got one major complaint about xfce.
I can't right-click on icons in the Applications menu and add them to the launcher!Instead I have to know the location of the executable for the application, so that I can right-click the panel, add a launcher, and then type the location of the executable in and manually select an icon for it...Of course it probably wouldn't be a pain if I could find everything. In Windows, if I want to know the location of a program that's running, I just open Task Manager, right-click the application, and select Properties.
Is there some equivalent or command-line way of finding the location of a running application in Linux?
A few I'd like to know the location of are:
1) Gnome System Monitor
2) Terminal
3) Swiftfox
... and I'll probably think of others.
Even though I'm using XFCE, I figured this fell under the "all variants" category since my main question is just how to find the locations of executables...

Ubuntu :: Find The Best Location For Wireless In A Marginal Environment?
Jul 12, 2011I just updated a laptop to 11.04. I'm trying to find the best location for wireless in a marginal environment, but am somewhat frustrated by the "improvements" ... I would not have updated, except that the usb TP-LINK TL-WN722N didn't work on 10.04 ... it works fine on 11.04.
But, now when I put the cursor on the wireless icon I don't get the %strength message like I did on 10.04. Is there a way to re-enable this? I suspect that this is a problem created with the "wonderful" indicator applet?
General :: "find" Command In Backup/zip Script?
Feb 13, 2011I am fairly new to scripting and I am trying to write a script that finds and zips a file named file1.xml from multiple sub-directories. So basically I want to find them and zip them all together. The disk directory structure is as follows:
/mnt/data/user_name1/db/file1.xml
/mnt/data/user_name2/db/file1.xml
(etc, etc where user_name varies)
This is what I have so far, but I keep getting an error relating to the -name command.
filename=`date +%d%m%Y-%H:%M`
find /mnt/data/ -name file1.xml -maxdepth 2 -type d | zip -rp $filename.zip -@
I keep getting the following error but don't know how to fix it. Is what I am trying to do even possible?find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -name, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).

Ubuntu :: Make A Backup Of Home Directory Onto A NAS Device?
Dec 5, 2010I would like to make a backup of my /home directory onto a NAS device, and have whatever software is used for the purpose update (new and changed files) every night, or perhaps everytime there is a period of inactivity. Any suggestions for a GUI package that will do this?
I do not want a complete backup each time, just the new or changed files. Also prefer software that backs up to a mirror of the original (i.e., uncompressed folders and files)
