View 2 RepliesI am using the sudo command to log on locally as another user by the following command:
sudo -u theotheruser -s
or
sudo -u theotheruser sh
As I see it, this initiates a new shell with the mentioned other user.However, this doesn't load that users profile from his home directory.Is there a way to automatically read the users profile when login in with selected command? I am mostely interested in getting a working prompt when logged in.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path

I have running Debian on a QNAP device and it like's run well. But todat I saw that the default cron job seems a little bit strange [ -x /.sr/.ib/.hp5/.axlifetime ] && [ -d /.ar/.ib/.hp5 ] && find /.ar/.ib/.hp5/.-type f -cmin +$(/.sr/.ib/.hp5/.axlifetime) “delete
I think is sould be [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -delete
How is't possble?
I have openSUSE 11.3 Gnome installed. The nautilus address bar shows the "Button Bar" and if I press Ctrl+L it swaps to the "Text Location Bar". The Text Location bar is where you see the full path to the directory that you're viewing.But I can't set the default addressing to the Text Location Bar.What else should I do to get the text location bar (i.e. the full path) to be the default view in the address bar?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal:
normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
super user:
Code:
root@ataias-notebook:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
As many commands are in /sbin/, root can use them without writing "/sbin/" but I can't do the same cause it's not in my path.
while root do this:
Code:
shutdown -h now
I should do:
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
and I want to use only
Code:
sudo shutdown -h now

I'd like to make sure I do it right: Do I just need to edit /etc/profile or is there another file somewhere in CentOS that I should use instead?

I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
Where do I make the necessary change?
I want to add a path (/usr/sys) to the global $PATH. I will use this to test commands and scripts, which I don't want to be mixed up with regular commands. I've added the path to /etc/environment. When I start a terminal session under my user account, the path is included in the $PATH variable. However, when I start a root terminal, it is not. Is there a way to to change $PATH on one place where it will also affect the root terminal, or do I have to change it on 2 locations?

I tried to install JRE to my remote Suse 11 SP1 linux.After i finished with files i typed like
export PATH=<my jre path>
now i have no bash commands - typing ls causes
-bash: ls: command not found
i think that i should re-export my PATH to the right value but i don't know what it should be. I tried differend values
/etc/profile
/usr/bin
What steps have to be followed for having customized contents of PATH environment variable whenever new users are created? I require this in order to include a special directory into PATH variable; and this has to be a default one for all the newly created users.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded java and installed it with chmod +x and then ./bin package.
Hereunder is an output from CLI (putty)
I understand that the system knows the java is in a wrong place but if I do java -version it finds it correctly.

Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.
Looking to add lines to these files that echos date/time pwd and who am I to a log file so I can see if they ever get altered.
