I'm trying to write a script in python to extract data from maillogs in gz format. I wrote a shell script but i now want to do this in python, as thats the preferred method where i work. anyway does anyone know how to specify directory paths for example the maillogs exist in /var/log so i want the script to go to that directory would LOG_DIR="/var/log/" work?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn Ubuntu 9.10 I installed Python 3.1.1 successfully with Synaptic Package Manager. However the Python interpreter cannot find my scripts, currently in /home/dave/pycode. This appends _temporarily_ but python remains clueless about location of my scripts. Searched Internet and some speak of .rc or .bashrc or .profile..files. Found some of these and opened with Komodo : they are Linux script files and I am clueless as to how to modify.Currently I can import my scripts only if I change to the /pycode dir before running.Lutz's Python book says to change PATH file - Ha .Sobell's "A practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is no help. Ubuntu's own on line help is worth less than a fart in a hurricane. Ubuntu's gedit would not even open bash.bashrc.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to install the NumPy package for Python on to my home directory, as I run as part of a server and do not have permissions to install new packages in the Linux server.
I have set up Python in my home directory, and have configured ~/.bash_profile to find my local Python (which works, confirmed by testing).
However, when I attempt to install the NumPy package, I get the message error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6': Permission denied Which I find strange because I do not see why it would need to install files anywhere except my local Python directory.
how I might be able to specify the directory in which files are installed?
I am using Apache/2.2.3 on Centos 55. I am having an issue that is pretty strange to me. Whenever I navigate to a url on my webserver from outside my network. I have to put a '/' in the directory path for example When I type in: mydomain.com/directory1 it winds up redirecting to the hostname for my server HOWEVER When I type in mydomain.com/directory1/ it works, since I am adding the '/' at the end of the path. I suspect it is because I do not have my FQDN set up correctly.I did not have this issue when I was using Ubuntu 10.04 , I suspect because Ubuntu automagically set this up for me. Is there a particular way I need to setup my FQDN in centos to get this to work properly? I have tried going into /etc/hosts and adding my FQDN in there, but I do not think I did it properly, is there a particular way the /etc/hosts file needs to be setup?

How do I set the PYTHONPATH for the root user only? Or at least add to the python path for the root user? I need to read from the /var/log/apache2/access.log in my python script, so I need to use sudo for my script to be able to read from it.I tried setting the PYTHONPATH in /root/.bashrc but that didn't work. I don't want to use a .pth file because I don't want the directory to be on the path for all users due to import collisions.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.
I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.
Here is what I have:
for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;

I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

since topic_file_publish.sh is being directly referenced in the code with absolute path.
I am new to writing shell scripts. So, please bare with me. I am currently trying to write a shell script which will read the directory path as input from user and will traverse the Dir tree to find all available audio and video files. I have tried to write as much as I could but I don't know where I am making mistake as I get some files to be audio file which are actully tar balls. On the second note there are some files which video but script shows them to be audio. And, some video files are completely skipped. I am giving the shell script below so that you can see. I am using two external files as source which I am attaching.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Let's load the extensions that we want to search for

I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.

I thought i'd set up the partitions correctly when i installed ubuntu, with a 15 gig "/" partision and a 45 gig "/home" and a 3.8gig "swap"
I was wrong i somehow misplaced the /home partition, and therefore didn't install it
I found this out about 4 days ago as i was running though video tutorial and realized i didnt have it setup correctly afterall
So... i did some research and found this site...[url] and i found something that seemed to work for various people, i deleted the 'now' windows partition and so i had this:
However i unmounted the /home folder following the instructions without realizing that i didnt have permissions to mount the /new home partition as it is not in the extended ubuntu 9.04 linux partition and i have no rights to it
So my question is, how do i fix the path to the /home folder (original) in ubuntu so that i can start over and do this correctly (ie; resize the extended partition and add the /newhoe directory/patition to ubuntu)
I realize that i can use a sudo command before lines to run su commands that are blocked in ubuntu, which is how i screwed up =
I cannot use anything in the menu as all links to programs are dead, i can run the add app, but it cannot install as the install folders are "not there"... i can see them in the terminal so i know my data is there and i can run the live disc to salvage it, but i cannot see it while ubuntu is loaded
Note; i have not restarted the computer and i don't know if this will block ubuntu from restarting either, so i need to fix via terminal, before i can do anything else, like letting the laptop rest.

I was wondering if we could cd in the directory of the PATH variable. For example, if I type in echo $DISPLAY. It will give me /tmp/launch-3ee4fg/org.x:0
Is there any way that I can just take the value '/tmp/launch-3ee4fg/' from the output of $DISPLAY and exclude out the filename to the end of the command. I tried using the read command and the IFS variable..apparently IFS does not recognise / I guess.
I'm trying to compress with zip for linux utility a file
Is need to be done (example):
But I would like that in the zip file there is only one file: source.file instead the whole directory path /usr, /src,... and the file.
I can't move up to the directory /usr/src/ to execute the command.
I must do this from / directory.
If this possible? I Windows systems even if I do the zip C:directory1directory2source.zip C:directory1directory2source.file, it does what I need: a Zip in directory2 with just the file source.file.
I've been looking up the man page for zip, but did not find anything useful, tried, -j, -D with no success.

I am working on getting my software packages installed on my fresh Slackware64-13.0 installation. Some (but definitely not all) of my executables are unable to be run.
I understand what PATH is for. It is for locating files, folders, executables in those directories when running from a Terminal window.
So, for example, I have just installed Cisco VPN Client for Linux, and it is the strangest thing. I should have access to this. I must not be understanding something here. Does anyone have any idea why this is not working for me? I have put in an example of what I am talking about.
I have no idea why this is not working.
