General :: Overwrite The Header Of A File Without Copying The Whole File?

Mar 1, 2011

Asuming I have two files, one large file and one small file, I want to write the smaller file to the large file without overwriting the remaining part of the larger file.

Both are binary files, and the large file can become very large, so I want to avoid copying the whole file, as that will take some time. Is there any standard Linux console utility to do this, or do I need to write it myself?

General :: Command To Overwrite File With Sed Output?

Jan 5, 2010

For example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?

General :: Copying Permissions From One File To Another?

Nov 4, 2009

copying permissions from one file to another.I know that command for changing permission is "chmod", for example chmod 666 filename However, I have one file filename1 and by listing all contents of a directory with ls -al I can find out its permissions in form -rwwx and similar. Now I want to define exact same permissions to other file "filename2". How to use chmod command to accomplish this. Other way around would be to simply copy permissions from one file to another. Is there any command for this purpose?

General :: Copying A File As Root Through An Intermediate Computer?

Jul 23, 2010

I am trying to copy four files from my machine, through a second machine, and finally to the destination. The destination computer can only be reached through the second computer, and I am curious to know if there is an easy way to do this. I am able to ssh to the middle machine and then ssh from there to the destination. I know that I could just copy from the first machine to the second, and then from there to the third. I guess that I'm curious to know what kind of command I can run to do this all at once or even if I could do such a thing (which I'm betting I can). I need to copy these files as root on the destination machine too.

General :: Fork Behavior While Copying File Descriptors

Jun 17, 2010

I am quite confused about the following description on fork. Could you please explain it ?The child process shall have its own copy of the parent's file descriptors. Each of the child's file descriptors shall refer to the same open file description with the corresponding file descriptor of the parent.For example, I am opening a socket and then fork. Now, does the child have a separate socket or is shares it with the parent. Does I have any impact on using it in child?

General :: Resuming File Copying After Remounting CIFS Directory

Mar 13, 2011

I'm trying to resume copying from a mounted CIFS device to my local hdd with cURL. I tried

Code:
$ curl -C - -O file://myfile
and also

Code:
$ curl -C <manual offset> -O file://myfile
(looked up the manual offset using "$ wc -c")

This resumes copying if I cancel it eg with ^C.

But it does not work if I unmount and remount the CIFS device. cURL then ignores my given offset and continues again from start as if nothing were there without saying a word. With "-C -" the same effect.

Software :: Overwrite Same Input File Image

Mar 18, 2011

Code:
dd bs=8192 if=Image of=/dev/PS0
In the above command, I cant able to understand the option "of=/dev/PS0"

Whether it means,
1) to write the input file "Image" in to "/dev/PS0" of the Floppy device
or
2) to overwrite the same input file "Image" in a file format ("/dev/PS0") of Floppy.

General :: Copy A File And Rename It At The Same Time While Copying It To The Same Exact Directory?

Jun 26, 2010

Create a copy of the file above and call it commands.sorted. Use the vi command to manually sort this file. I.e. use yy to copy a line, P or p to paste a line, and dd delete a line. Order the commands with the two lines starting with double quotes first. Then list the rest of the command in alphabetical order.

Anyone have any ideas what he's talking about? Can I copy a file and rename it at the same time while copying it to the same exact directory again? Now sure what the two lines things means either. I have an email out to him but it usually takes a long time for him to answer me. I got alot of work to do so everytime I get hung up it kills me.

Ubuntu :: No Dual Boot - Windows Overwrite Grub File

Jan 5, 2011

I've recently left Windows behind for good and have come to Linux (Ubuntu.) However, I've run into problems after trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. When I restarted my computer, I got a black screen with white text reading "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported". I have the Ubuntu live cd and was able to try Ubuntu without having to install it, but after I put in a flash drive with Windows 7 on it, the Ubuntu CD has stopped working entirely.

The weird thing is, the computer that I installed Ubuntu on, already had Ubuntu and Windows 7 on it. And every OS was booting successfully. The reason I deleted the Ubuntu that was already on the computer, is because there were many different versions. I wanted to do a clean sweep and only have Ubuntu and Windows 7 installed on the computer. I know that if you try to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, Windows will overwrite the GRUB file, making it unable to dual boot.
