At present in my server the log folder was filled up and causing memory issue. So I am planning to write a script in such a way that the files which are older than 30 days will be deleted and also need to find the files which were not compressed and need to compress this file. Compression will exclude if the file was created on the same day.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have spent the last hour searching for a solution to this, but I can't get it to work. Here is what I am trying to do:
I have directories for different months in one folder. So for example Code: ../folder/Jan/
../folder/Aug/
etc. Some of the folders have a dot in front of the month as so: Code: ../folder/.Sep/
../folder/.Oct/
[Code].....
I am trying to find all the csv files EXCEPT those in a folder that has a dot. For example I want all the csv files in ../folder/Jan/ but I want none in ../folder/.Oct/.
I also want to exclude all the files in the /Aug/ folder that represent days 10-31.
Here is what I have so far: Code: find /some_path/folder/ ( ! -name "Aug[10-31]*.csv" ! -path "/.*/" -name "*.csv" ) | more This command lists all the .csv files except those in the /Aug/ files. So it just ignores the /Aug/ folder completely but lists every other .csv file.
I have tripwire 2.4.1 up and running on one of our servers, and I am now in the process of configuring it to exclude some files and/or directories that are known to change periodically between integrity checks.
I did some reading on the subject, and one file that came up was the tw.config file. However, when I did a search for the file, there was no instance of it on the server. My next thought was to modify the tw.pol file, and I did try to list some files to be excluded. However, when I tried to update the policy, I got an error message which indicated the syntax that I entered within the tw.pol file was incorrect.
If the tw.config file does not exist, can I create it, and modify the tw.pol file to indicate where the file is located on the server?
I am running RHEL 5.4 Server (32-bit) and have my audit.rules file set up per a template that I am required to use. There is one particular rule that audit is auditing the unlink of files. With this set, my log files are filling up very fast, as there is a particular app that constantly touches/ deletes a couple of files, which the unlink is catching. Here is the audit rule:-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S unlink -S unlinkat -S rename -S renameat -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k deleteI commented out the "-S unlink" and my logging returns to normal (as expected). For right now, I was wondering if there was a way to set this rule up to exclude these couple of files from what auditd is capturing?

I wanted to hear some music from my audio library, so I turned on banshee, all the sudden the audio started to hear choppy, no unusual disk activity, no slowness of my laptop. I restarted the laptop since, I had a big Red buton that asked for it. After reboot tried listening to my music and the same result choppy audio. Tried rebooting again, same thing. Has anyone experienced this issue with audio after todays update? My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad t61 2 GB RAM and fedora 11 x_64
View 1 Replies View Relatedtoday i did the automatic update with synaptic ( firefox ) on ubuntu 9.04_AMD64 and kernel 2.6.28.19. Firefox 3.6.8 is now buggy: i cannot save files with: "save as" from web-pages. Bookmarking wep-pages is not possible. and the auto completion in http:// is not working anymore
View 2 Replies View RelatedEverything was fine and dandy then I installed tonight's updates (about 6 of them - 2 or 3 for GTK and a couple of others) and now the close button at top right of the Firefox window doesn't work The buttons are still there, and the minimize and restore work ok, but the close button just flickers and leaves the window open. Also, if I right-click the tell-tale in the bottom bar of the desktop and slect "close" nothing happens. The FF window stays there
I can't think of any other way to close the window besides ending the processes in System Monitor. I can open other windows (like Home folder or Synaptic) and close those without a problem by clicking on the close button. It's just Firefox with the problem, so I don't think it is a Window Manager problem.
What's with todays updates? Webkit librarys and Firefox updates. Was there a security issue that's just recently been fixed? Just wondering, I'm obviously going to install them.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that makes portable devices running Linux and I was recently asked to make the underlying file system read-only for "security" purposes. Since the distribution is based on LinuxFromScratch, I know that very little writing happens at run time. So, even if the device runs on a usb flash device, I doubt that putting the root file system RO will be that beneficial. I am actually more concerned about a process actually breaking because it cannot open a file in RW mode than a process going rogue and filling the root file system with log files, etc. I'd really like to ear what kind of advantages disadvantages there really is with read-only file-systems.

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 have a nfs share on my 11.4 workstation at /abcd. I'd like to export everything under /abcd except for one directory /abcd/dontexport
I searched online for such an option but only came across noaccess option which doesn't seem to work.
exportfs says it is an unrecognized option if I run "exportfs -ra"
This is how my /etc/exports looks like:
Code:
/abcd*(rw,wdelay,root_squash,no_subtree_check,anonuid=12345,anongid=6789)

I am working on a project where I am dialing out of a modem!! Old stuff, ya, but the modem allows my device send info from remote sites from my datibase through a phone line so that this IT departments dont have to worry my device being a security issue on their networks.
Any way, the modem I'm using isn't incredibly well designed, and when a certain ascii char is read by the modem, it reads it as an EOF indicator. It is also important that the files I send are compressed.
My question is: Does anyone know of a compression format that allows ME to dissallow IT's use of certain ascii chars?
just as an illustration:
Device --------> Modem ---------> Off-site
and the Modem stops talking to the device when a certain char is passed to it.
I have a Ubuntu 10.10 box which i've developed an IPTables Firewall script and is forwarding my ports correctly. This service also runs Openswan VPN Server with 2 VPN's, which is also working well.
I have come across a small snag with excluding the multiple VPN subnets I have from the NAT on this box.
I have the line in my configuration file:
-A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s 10.172.1.0/24 -d ! 192.168.5.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Which when added to IPTables does make the VPN come to life. But I can't seem to get it to add the second subnet. Unfortunately, I can't do a blanket exclusion such as 192.168.0.0/16 because the second VPN is on a Class B subnet address which I cannot change.
I've got the following code and kludge. It's working okay except that there's a directory called "Archive" which I don't need to backup. I've tried various combinations of &&, -a, etc., and I'm kind of at a loss for getting this right.
Here's the code I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# backup subdirs as individual tarballs with prepended timestamps and
# move them somewhere else.
# --exclude "/path/to/dir/*" (Doesn't seem to work)
[Code]...
How can I write that line so that I can loop through all of the subdirs, tarring them up, but excluding the "Archive" subdirectory?
Is there a way of excluding a software package when issuing the 'apt-get dist-upgrade'command? For example the newer 'pm-utils' packs are incompatible with my hardware and my laptop starts to glitch. What I do is I uninstall and replace the package every time I run 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'. Which is kind of annoying. I know that you can hide updates from the update manager, but what about the terminal? I'm sure there are codes like "dist-upgrade [except pm-utils]"
