'ls -l' gives me the permissions in the long format - drwxr-xr-x format. Is there a way i can get the permissions in a form i can use in a bash script? the only form i can imagine of is the octal one... something like '755' for the above, but i dont know what would give me such an output.... are there other methods to consider while using (rather comparing) them in a script?

Is it possible to print the permission in octal format for a directory recursively?Code:
stat -c "%a" /etcIt prints the permission for /etc directory only.
I may not have noticed in other Fed releases, but in Fed 13 I am seeing a dot at the end of all file permissions. Example:
[pjs@linux ~]$ ls -ld Documents
drwxr-xr-x. 62 pjs pjs 4096 Jul 11 09:53 Documents
Even on files I create myself:
[pjs@linux ~]$ touch foo
[pjs@linux ~]$ ls -l foo
-rw-rw-r--. 1 pjs pjs 0 Jul 11 10:46 foo
It is the same throughout the fs. I have disabled as much of SELinux as I can. What does the dot mean?
I've recently started learning linux OS, and the most confusing for me is the notation in man pages or command synopsis. I was looking for some kind of guide describing it, but couldn't find any. Thing get even worse when there is no standard notation and it looks different from one command to another. In other words, I just want to understand what all these brackets '[ ]', dots like '...' pipelines '|', italic or UPPERCASE words, etc mean at all. I can't tell the difference between [DIRECTORY...] and [FILE]... What does it mean when there are three dots inside the brackets or outside of them? And so on. To conclude, all I need is a comprehensive description for the notation syntax adopted in linux world.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some checksums.md5 verification files from an ntfs external drive, but using windows notation: instead of /, spaces between file names (not escaped), reserved shell characters (like (, &, ', to name a few). The checksums.md5 has a bunch of checksums and filenames:

I want to use this checksums.md5 to verify the files that I've copied to my machine: but I'm on a Linux, so I need to convert the names inside checksums.md5 from Windows to Linux to use the md5sum utility from the shell. The first line in my example would become: f12f75c1f2d1a658dc32ca6ef9ef3ffc My Windows & Files (2010)/[bak]/testing.wmv Is there some application for this (converting a file listing, from windows cmd notation, to linux shell notation) or will I need to create a bash script using sed that just "replaces" what is "wrong" with the filenames
Is anyone aware of a program which will open .mus music notation files or convert them to .xml files? I have several files from FINALE which I would like to open in Linux, but Linux distros will not allow FINALE to run. .xml files will open in MuseScore.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to change the tomboy saving notation (.note) to (.txt). I'm fairly new to Linux so I may be wrong in thinking this is possible. However, if it is possible, a finger in the right direction would be appreciated.
PS: if it isn't possible, maybe there is a way to change the name of the actual .note files in ~/.local/share/tomboy/ to something more readable. Right now they show up like this:
8e824ab7-ba6f-4018-b74d-1a5a245a60bd.note Which is of course makes it difficult to determine which file I'm actually looking at.
I've been away from Fedora for a long time, since FC3/4. I seem to recall that at that time grub in Fedora used the standard drive notation such as /dev/sdax instead of the current UUID. Can anyone tell me why this change was made?
Seems to me that using UUIDs presents severe problems if a drive has to be replaced as the restore media (we all backup, don't we?) would not work without modification. How does one determine trhe UUID of a new drive to change the restore media? Sounds like a chickenand-egg routine. There must be some way which I haven't run accross yet. I do notice through experimentation that the standard notation still works, at least in /etc/fstab.

I recently installed a printer on my OpenSuse 11,2. Now every time i start the computer it prompts for the root password.

There is a script "uninstall.sh" in the PSULauncher directory that i ran but it didn't fix the problem.

how to get permission by chmod
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have installed a driver on SUSE, and changed permissions for it (/dev/name) with the chgrp command.
However after rebooting my computer the change is lost. How can I save the permissions for the device?
The root user of Linux doesn't have permission to read/write a regular file, unless all users have permission to read/write this file, like below:
drwxrwsrwx ....... file_name
However the owner of the file can still read/write this file.
AND:
0) not the problem of execution, just read/write
1) not the problem of device because regular user can read/write it.
2) the result of command id:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
so I don't think it's the problem of group.
how is the file permission is defined?
for example when i use the command list -l testp01.txt i get the result of testp01.txt file permission -rw- r-- r-- root root etc however i wonder where are those information written?
is there any special file which contains all of these information?
