Feb 8, 2011I'm trying to use the dirs command with the +N option. The manual says: dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Direc- tories are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from the list. +n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with zero.
dirs -v shows:
0 /dir1/
1 /dir2/
2 /dir3/
However, dir +n 1, dir +N 1, dir -v +n 1, dir -v +N 1 all give:

General :: Not Enough Hash Marks Of The -h Option Of The Rpm Command
Aug 1, 2010In the rpm manual, Print 50 hash marks as the package archive is unpacked. Use with -v|--verbose for a nicer display. But actually, there're not enough hash marks when I'm installing a package. About 44 hash marks there...Well, I just want to know where the `50 hash marks' are.

Jan 26, 2010I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files. The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation: replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
This is unacceptable for a script.I need an option to force unzip to overwrite the files.I did not find in the man page nor with Google.
General :: When Extract The Tarball - Forgot The '-C' Option Of The Command 'tar'
Apr 23, 2010I tried to install gfortran on my computer. When I extract the tarball, I forgot the '-C' option of the command 'tar', which should be added, according to the instruction of installation.
That is to say, I wrote in the mp directory:
Then, the tarball creates a '/usr' directory under '/tmp' directory, and it contains only a /local directory, which contains only a /gfortran directory.
The thing is, when I modify the name of this directory, for example, from /usr to /usr-modi, I found that the name of the directory /usr under the root directory is also changed from /usr to /usr-modi.
How can I delete this annoying /usr directory under /tmp, without tragically affect /usr under the root directory?
General :: Use '{}' To Redirect Output Of A Command Run Through Find's -exec Option?
Jan 10, 2011I am trying to automate an svnadmin dump command for a backup script, and I want to do something like this:
find /var/svn/* ( ! -name dir -prune ) -type d -exec svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn ;
This seems to work, in that it looks through each svn repository in /var/svn, and runs svnadmin dump on it.
However, the second {} in the exec command doesn't get substituted for the name of the directory being processed. It basically just results a single file named {}.svn.
I suspect that this is because the shell interprets > to end the find command, and it tries redirecting stdout from that command to the file named {}.svn.

General :: Writing With "W" In Top Is Not An Option As Top Command
Sep 2, 2010I have the "top" command and I want to override its default behavior for every user, even for future users.
Writing with "W" in top is not an option as my top command somehow overrides the custom behavior per user and always turns to default behavior.
So, what I am asking for is, are there command line switches that override default behavior of top, for example:
Code:
top -<BLABLA>
to show me the load average per core which would be equivalent to starting top first and then pushing the key "1" on the keyboard.
Remember, writing to toprc is not an option for me as top for some reason ignores its config and just goes for default behavior.
Edit: it seems to me this is a bug in the procps package. That is why I updated it to the latest version for my distro CentOS 5.5 and procps to the following [URL] HOWEVER, it doesn't work even now.

CentOS 5 :: Specify Root Option For Kernel Command Of Grub Conf
Feb 12, 2010I'm using 2 cloned disks with CentOs5.3 and I need to be able to control which one is booted. I can specify which disk in the BIOS but after stage 2 it is always running from disk 2. When I have puppy linux on one disk and CentOs on the other I can boot off of either as selected by the system BIOS so the BIOS is not the issue. I think it is how the root option is passed in the kernel command in the grub.conf.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
I think when the OS searches for the /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 share is locates 2 since the disks are clones and uses the last one found. On information I have found for the kernel command and the root option it appears CentOs uses it differently. CentOs uses a volume name as specified /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 instead of a partition designator /dev/hda2. Is there a different way to specify /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 in CentOS for the root option for the kernel command of grub.conf?

Jun 16, 2011I am using the diff command with the -r option, to compare a large number of files and files in subdirectories. My main interest is to find out which files have been changed, and not what the actual changes are, and since a lot of files has been changed, it would be a lot easier to view the file names only. Is there and option for diff that might do this, or does there exist a similar tool/command that could do the job?
