General :: Sort Generates Unexpected Results
Jun 7, 2010I sorted a large mailing list and the result is in almost sorted order, but not quite.The sort was invoked in the default manner, just "sort".See (below) a segment of the output file.(Note: the actual files have a street address following each name.I have omitted the addresses to avoid complaints about disclosing personal information on-line.) I expect all people named KATZ to be grouped together, but they aren't. This phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the output file, so it has nothing to do with surnames beginning with the character string KATZ.

Aug 12, 2010I've got a script where I have to parse out the last modified time for a large amount of files. Piping the output for "ls" into "cut" seems to work most of the time, but the output is unpredictable.The "fields" argument doesn't find the date modified columns consistently, and using character count is as well since the output can vary in width depending on the file name

Feb 2, 2011I am writing a bash script which includes the find (and rm command with exec) command the options -mtime -15 or +15 so that files older 15 days must be deleted from the home directory. I think that -mtime +15 should be ok, but in which case does the option -mtime -15 really come in handy?? go back 15 days until today's date?

Dec 25, 2009I need to delete all *.trc files that are older than 30 days and I am getting a "Argument list too long" error. There are other files that should not be deleted which is why I am using the "*.trc" and newer files need to be kept as well. I have seen other postings but they do not cover both of the conditions. Below are 2 of the many attempts at doing this but I cannot get this to work.

General :: Ran "find / -mtime +1 -exec Rm {} ;" - Trying To Clear A Directory ?
Jul 6, 2011I'm very very tired, worked all night long, and I did't sleep for hours... So I'm like a zombie now... half awake, and half asleep.
I was trying to clear a directory. Then I run the command cd to enter the directory, and then before thinking I run this dangerous command. on my Linux server: "find / -mtime +1 -exec rm {} ;"

CentOS 5 :: Find - Mtime Does Not Work As Expected On Files?
Dec 1, 2010I have some files on server with the date several months ago, but invisible for `find -mtime 7` search. When I list them as `ls -l` they look perfectly normal:

General :: Find And Sort Results By Date Modified
Jun 7, 2011so I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10
How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)
General :: Reusing Find Command Results In Mplayer Arguments?
Jan 22, 2010I wanted to supply mplayer with the output of find command as arguments. The error returned showed spliced names of files whenever spaces occurred. I have subdirectories in my /home/my_user_name/Music/ directory, and in them multiple *.oga music files. The actual command that I issued was
Code:
mplayer $(find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga")
mplayer started but then was looking for broken file names. I am thinking quoting has to do with it to preserve the filename as one string but different attempts were met with inroads:
Code:
mplayer `find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga"`
gave me the same result and
Code:
mplayer `"find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name *.oga"`
complained about wrong mplayer syntax.
General :: Sending Find Results To File - List Too Long

General :: LDAP: Ldapsearch Can't Return More Than 500 Results; Also, Can't Find Slapd.conf?
Feb 20, 2010If I do something to the effect of this:ldapsearch -b "dc=example,dc=com" -x -z 3000
I'll get this back at the end of the result set:
# search result
search: 2
result: 4 Size limit exceeded
The thing is is that I have way more (thousands) than what's being displayed here. And I've tried to mess around with /etc/ldap.conf, changing the SIZELIMIT directive to something else, 10000, let's say, and restarting the server, but the same goddamn thing happens.
I've been messing around with this for quite some time now, hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this so that I can learn my way out of this mess that is LDAP. Also in a related matter, I'm running Mint (based off of Ubuntu), and all the documentation that I've seen (probably read a good 100+ pages in a few days now on this) keeps telling me to make changes to my slapd.conf file. What slapd.conf file? It doesn't exist, I can't find it at least. find / -name slapd.conf turns up nothing.

General :: SSH: Server Unexpected Closed Network Connection
Jul 4, 2011In my case, it occurs intermittently when trying to connect using putty's command line client 'plink.exe' to a linux machine using ssh. For some testing purposes, a linux server is setup with 8K virtual ip addresses and the testing scripts will connect to these ip addresses through ssh using plink.exe. There will be concurrently 25 ssh sessions launched to the server. While it works for sometimes, it throws 'server unexpectedly closed network connection' error intermittently. If the same ip address is tried again manually, it works. While the ssh server is accepting connections, this error is thrown sometimes and unable to find out the reason from the logs. It is not that the ssh connection is completely blocked. It gives this error message while connecting to some of the virtual ip addresses but works some times.
The hosts.deny, sshd_config are tuned to allow the connections, allow more sessions etc.
