View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to find documentation on all the available terminal commands and syntax for CentOS 5.
I have googled and looked through the wiki and found nothing about the terminal to my ability.
As for what I am referencing by commands:
sudo: I get the su means super user
cd: change directory
rm: remove, I don't know how to remove folders.
General navigation and using the terminal to create files/directories/open file editor/etc..
For example, when I want to have an identical line to the above line, I must press "yy" and then P (or p). Could somebody give me the list of such commands.

View 3 Replies View Relatedif I open a terminal and hit [TAB] [TAB] it will display "Display all 2583 possibilities? (y or n) ". If I press y is there a way to capture the output and write it to a file? Not like it is a command so I can't just use a redirect to a file? If not I guess I could just do an ls on all locations of $PATH and capture that to a file.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've just started experimenting with SSH tunnels. I wanted a way to connect to MySQL on our website VPS but wanted the connection encrypted rather than just using PHP's mysql_connect() function and connecting to the remote IP. This seems to be working great. I'm also looking into autossh to make sure that the tunnel gets reconnected when it drops.is there a command/utility that can list the currently active SSH tunnels? Be great if there was a way of terminating an active tunnel through a command as well. Or is it a case of manually digging through the process list and killing the specific PID like I have been?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi am working on some kind of PBX and i have list of telephone numbers inside a file, i have to insert these numbers into the correct command and then telnet to a remote server and execute these commands. i can read the telephone numbers and insert them into the command with no problem, but when i try to insert these commands into the send i face problem. here is the basic code
#!/bin/bash
read msisdn < input
string="ZZZZ:MSISDN=$msisdn;"
[code]....
i can make external loop inside the Bash which read the input file and issue the command and then telnet and execute, but this will make the script connects and disconnects again for each line which cause high load on that server and hardwar problem. i am wondering if there is an option inside the expect interperter which makes the send read directly from a file... somthing like this:
expect "<"
send "input-filename
"
expect "<"
expect eof
I am running RHEL release 4 (Nahant Update 6). I currently have a fax server that has been encountering issues recently after hours. My boss would like our helpdesk to monitor the status of these modems throughout their shift. This has led to a request for a helpdesk account to be created on our linux box that only has access to a few commands. Is there a way to limit the new user to only have access to the following commands?
cd
less
cat
Additionally I would like to create a script for them to run that would chmod our modems when necessary since their permissions reset after a power cycle. BUT not give them access to the chmod command, just chmod through that script for those specific devices.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHere is my scenario, I want to create about 3 groups of users:
--Admins-create and manage users
--Support1-Restart basic stack apps(httpd, mysql etc)
--Support2 Backups
So in my sudoers file i have managed to set them all up to perform the tasks above. However, I want to limit the users in the specific groups from running commands from other groups. eg a user in admins shouldnt be able to restart the stack applications etc. I have tried using the ! to create an exception eg !/etc/init.d/httpd start for the users but its not working.

Senario is we have a system where root has authorised keys set up so that it can do a passwordless ssh to $WORKSTATION. I then need to run a script on $WORKSTATION as user "bob" and NOT as user "root". I do not want to set up user "bob" to be allowed passwordless ssh so any ideas how I can do this?I have tried variations of (as user "root"):ssh $WORKSTATION "su - bob; ./my_script"

How to allow access to some commands having root privleges to be run by non root user. I am new to unix/linux and I have a major assignment. I have to find ways to run particular commands which can be run only by root from a non root user. I know sudo is one of the way but i need some different approach.

I did some digging on the sudo command and I do know the config file is /etc/sudoers Read the manual for sudoers and found out that I must use visudo to edit the file I read some of the examples at the bottom of the file and tried entering my own account in following the example. one of the commands I was trying to allow my account to perform without root login is the mount command So I tried adding this in (kreid8 /bin/mount ALL) I then saved & exited the file and logged out of root and tried sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media. I got an error saying I had to be root in order to do that But when I use the visudo -l option it shows that I have that privellege. Did I edit the file incorrectly?

I've had a server setup working perfectly for the last 2 years. Today we installed a newer version of postgresql and recompiled apache/php.
Postgresql will not start now.
"service postgresql start" = /var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize the cluster first. To initdb we need to be as user postgres.
"su - postgres" = "no file or directory"
In /etc/passwd = postgres:x:26:26:PostgreSQL Server:/var/lib/pgsql:/bin/bash
how i can login as postgres user and enter these commands?
I was looking at some Vim plugins, and I installed one called Abolish. The page from where I got it [URL] only says:
install details
Extract in ~/.vim or ~vimfiles
So I extracted it in ~/.vim. Now, the issue is that, if I edit a file as root, I am able to use the commands; however, when I edit a file as a normal user, these commands won't work. So... could this be a permissions issue? Or should I copy the plugin in some other directory, maybe?
