I remember there was a command that would allow me to pipe data to an app and the use the | operator to pipe it into yet another app.
foo fooArg | Iforget app1 | app2
I forget what this command is but it pipes the data from foo into app1 and app2.

I have a GPS device which sends in data on port number 5000, i am able to capture the data into a pcap file using tcpdump. Now my problem is, i need to pipe the data into a text file as and when data arrives into the pcap file continuously.I did extensive search, but to no avail. been trying to solve this for the past 3 days. I use the following commands to capture and pipe the data, but that happens only once when i issue the command. I want this to happen continuously as and when the data arrives.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched high and low, and can't seem to find a solution to this. I'm running a Dell Inspiron with an HDMI output with 10.10 through the tv. I want to get HDMI sound output for VLC, but I also want S/PDIF output (to the stereo) for Musicplayer. I can test and use the HDMI in the sound preferences sound/preferences/sound, but when I try to do the same for the internal card and click 'test speakers' the sound program closes itself. When the machine was a windows machine, it had PowerDVD outputting to the TV and Mediaplayer outputting to the stereo. I'm aiming for a similar set up in Ubuntu.

I have a network of 20 machines, all running Ubuntu 10.04.
Each machine has about 200[GB] of data that I'd like to share with all other 19 machines for READ ONLY PURPOSES. The reading should be done at the FASTEST POSSIBLE WAY.
A friend told me to look into setting up HTTP / FTP. Is it indeed the optimal way to share data between the machines (better than NFS)? if so, how do I go about it?
UPDATE: Just to clarify, all I want is to be able (from within machine X) to access one of machine Ys files and LOAD IT INTO MEMORY. all of the files are of uniform size (500 [KB]). Which method is fastest (SAMBA / NFS / HTTP / FTP)?
I've got an external hard drive with one large data partition on it. I also have four computers to connect it to (individually, not at the same time). Three machines are running Slackware and one is running Ubuntu 9.10. I need to be able to just plug the drive into whichever machine, mount it (preferably to the same location each time) and not have to worry about user permissions and such. Do I just chmod 777 all the files and folders or is there a better method for different 'users' to access the same partition? And how about mounting to the same location each time?
Now the second part of my question I'm pretty sure I'm not able to do but just in case..... is there any way to encrypt the information safely and make it compatible with a Windows XP machine?
Are there any tools out there that let me select a bunch of data and burn it to multiple cd's or DVD's? I'm using k3b but have to manually select cd and dvd size amounts.

I am trying to exclude all .svn directories from getting encrypted and synced.
Here is the find command I'm using. I don't see any .svn directories in the output:
find ~/Documents -type d ( -name .svn ) -prune -o -print
But when I pipe the output to rsyncrypto I see lots of .svn directories getting encrypted.
find ~/Documents -type d ( -name .svn ) -prune -o -print | rsyncrypto -vc --trim=3 --filelist - /tmp/Documents/ Documents.keys backup.crt
rewrite the command to exclude from rsyncrypto any files/folders that have .svn in their path?
I have the following code
Code:
ls ~/ | grep ^[[:lower:]]
and would like to take the result of this output and use this as the basis for a cp command to move these files to another folder.
kernel 2.6, slackware 12.0mkisofs 2.01If I do 'ls --help|more' all's well. 'mkisofs --help' outputs its help screen, and I can use Shift+PgUp/PgDn to scroll through it. But I can neither pipe it to more or to less, nor redirect it to some file. more is simply ignored. Less, gets into less but only the last screenful is seen. Redirection, i.e. 'mkisofs --help>john.txt' produces an empty file (size= 0).
View 2 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have a bash script called log.sh. In this script, I want to read in input from a pipe, but I also want to know the command used to pipe input into me. Example:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error | log.sh
In the shell script, I want to know the command tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.
I want to attach an analog camera to an old linux computer and directly pipe the /dev/video0 to another computer, where I can use it as a device again (so /dev/video0 should go to /dev/remote0, for example)
(Reason for doing this is that the computer does not have enough power to encode the video)
Is that possible? I've seen people can pipe the data directly from the device over ssh into mplayer, but I need to have some sort of reference point for Zoneminder.
I am sure this has been covered before, however I do not know which terms to sue for searching for this, so I will try and explain it.
I have a program that I run at startup to connect me to my work VPN, specifically the Cisco VPN client. When running the program, it prompts me for my username and password. I would like to be able to automate the login process by piping the username and password into the program everytime it starts up (username and password cannot be passed as arguments to the program)
Something like echo username | echo password | vpn_script
The serial console is for debugging and will physically disappear when product is mature. However, there are many background processes that may print out statuses/results. These go to /dev/console or serial console. Telnet will be the only way to get a console. I tried netconsole (with netcat) and it works, but it is only for kernel printk messages. I tried "program > /dev/pts/0" and it works also. it would be better if I can just change/add the console /dev/pts/0 to the existing /dev/console.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. I have read around about how to use curl to download a list of URLs from a text file, and everyone says to use Code:curl -K URLlist.txt. This is what the curl man page says as well. However, for even a simple file with one URL, this command outputs a bunch of weird symbols for me instead of downloading the file.For example, I have a text file "test.txt" with one line in the following format:
Code:
url = "http://www.example.com/image.jpg"

I have a folder which includes bunch of folders each having data files in them. [ Folder A has F1, F2 F3 ..... F1000 folders in it, and F1, F2, F3 ... each has about 10 different files named FILE 1, FILE2, FILE3 .... in them.
I am interested in File 1 of each Folder, because that contains the data I need in it. More specifically, that File1 s have a line "ANSWER=..." in them, and i need to get that value of the ANSWER from each file. So doing it by hand is so hard, so I need to write a script that will scan all folders and give me a list of values of eache ANSWERs.
i want to create multiple cd's containing the data of one tar.gz file of course i can use data dump (the dd command) to cut the tar.gz into 700 MB pieces. yet then i must calculate the exact location where to cut, and use the skip, seek and count parameters to proceed. Does anybody here know, software that automatically creates 700 MB parts of a single file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a solution where the data to be shared across multiple locations through login. In this regard, the following options are required.
1) The files/folders created can be viewed by the group and the owner has an option to edit and delete. However, if required the owner/admin can grant permission temporarily.
2) log of files/folders being accessed
3) The access of files/folders is based on username and password.
One thing striking me is FTP Server to enable the above solution. If so, i just want a step by step guide. Otherwise, let me know any other better options.
Viewing any source on the Web results in partial loading of data followed by broken up multiple lines. It is occurring now with this post. Paging down I get three lines of "submit new thread" until at the bottom are multiple lines (no characters) after "forum rules". I put it to my network provider who cannot come up with any idea of what may cause it. It cannot be the hardware as the same condition exists on two PC's. Both are on 11.2.

Also, is it possible to make the Debian installer accept an existing set of partitions? Or even alter the size of the automatically created partitions? Does expert mode let you control the partitions? How many other very detailed things would I have to know to use expert mode, though?
Faced with disk-bound issues on a FTP server with high traffic. Would like to set up multiple FTP server nodes with dedicated storage for each node where all FTP access is managed by a master FTP server. So, a user would FTP to a single externally visible IP address for the master FTP server and then get routed to the appropriate FTP node. Are the mutiple FTP nodes required or is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps only one FTP server is required and then each node would serve as a separate file server

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bash script that I want to import in to Python, mainly just to see if I can or not. However in the script I do use some piping of commands into sed to trim it down to what I need. When I tried doing it with the os.system() call, it didn't work. The exact error is

However the command that was run can be run in bash without an error. Is there a better/another way to do this? For reference the command is:

New to ubuntu and shell scripting in general... currently I stored some data into a text file. Right now, I would like to output the data from the text file and store it into a variable. Here's what I have so far:
READ_FILE=$(cat $FILE_NAME)
This definitely works and READ_FILE has the necessary data. However, this command will trigger an output to std output and I will see data on the screen, which is not what I want. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME | $READ_FILE
and various other variants of this. It does not output to std output but neither does anything gets stored into $READ_FILE. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME >> $READ_FILE
and it arrived at an error of "ambiguous redirect".
how would you go about piping the output of the shell to notify-osd?
