Apr 1, 2010I just installed Karmic, but I can't copy an old user's home folder (/home/oldusername/) because everything is owned by root.I read but I'm concerned about messing up the system or the files in that old user's folder.So, how do I adjust the permissions of the files in /home/oldusername so that I can use openssh to copy them over my home network to my other computer? I have the ssh part figured out, but the files will not copy to the laptop due to permissions.

Programming :: Monitor When Files Are Copied To Another Volume And Log The Date?
Jul 29, 2010I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head with this one. Here's the situation: My practice has been, after downloading and making changes to files, to use a certain GUI cataloging app to move them to categorized sub-folders inside one "umbrella" folder, then copy them to (what are in most cases) identically-named sub-folders in another one on the same HD. Emulation of this process on the command-line would look like:
Code:
cp holytrousers.jpg /home/metoo/Pictures/fancypants/
mv holytrousers.jpg /home/me/Pictures/pants/
This was in anticipation of making a "twin" of the second, now bigger, "umbrella" folder on anexternal HD and continuing the practice. At some point I intended to get rid of the original 2nd "parent folder" and just keep the first one on the drive with my OS install, using the twin on the backup folder as I'd been doing when it was on that same drive.
I'm very close (a matter of 2 to 3 weeks, it looks like) to getting a backup/external drive in a reasonably-reliable external enclosure. With the backup, originally the "twin" of the bigger "umbrella" folder and its sub-directories, on that other drive, I also anticipate that I will likely go at least a few days between backing up any new files to it.
For the sake of argument, let's say I gave the external the name "tuxs_twin". Is there any way to monitor copying activity from /Pictures/ on the boot HD to /media/tuxs_twin/Pictures/ and log the dates and times, then have something running that checks the log every so many hours and puts up a reminder dialog saying /tuxs_twin/Pictures/ hasn't had any new files copied to it since date X at time Y? I hope this was clear enough. If not, I'll try to break it down further when I know which details are confusing folks.

Oct 19, 2010I want to delete all files within a specific folder without actually deleting the folder, what is a good bash command for this?. I found this one but encountered some errors even though I am executing it within the specific folder:
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
[1] 5052
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find: missing argument to `-exec'
[1]+ Exit 1 find . -type f -exec rm -rf
The command as it appears is:
find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
how to delete only the files contained within the folder called "folder" for example?
Programming :: Check Folder For Specific Files Than Move Script?
Nov 16, 2010I have a script that checks a folder for zip files than moves them to a different folder. I want to check every 5 maybe 10 seconds and since cron is setup to run at least a 1 minute increment I'm not sure how to do that time check as probably a loop within the script. One other thing is once the time check is in the script how would a cron job be setup to run this script? Once the script is running cron doesn't need to run it again, is there a feature to check if it's running and if it's not then run it?
find /export/xxxshare -name "*.zip" -exec mv {} /export/store ;
Programming :: Test Permissions On All Files / Folders Into A Folder Recursive?
May 16, 2010Way to test permissions on all files/folders into a folder recursive, then if those are not user:user then do :
Code:
chown user:user thatconcernedfile
The problem with that
Code:
chown user:user -R /folder
is that it is doing changes on file permissions whihch are already ok. If you wanna maintain a specific permission on a folder this is really not good this :
Code:
while [ 1 ] ; do
chown user:user -R /folder
# /folder contains 6.0 Tb

done

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Make A New Folder For Each File In A Particular Folder
Mar 28, 2011I been using linux for a while, but I havent had the time to really learn it. Something Id like to get more familiar with is bash so here is a simple example of something I would like to do:
I have a directory full of files. For each file in the directory create a new subdirectory with each files name.
I tried this:
#im already in this directory
aaa=./*
for a in $aaa
do mkdir $a
done
One of the problems is that there are spaces () and - in the filenames so I get many subfolders with names like "-" which i don't want.
I tried stuff like:
aaa=./*
for a in $aaa
do mkdir "'"$a"'"
done
This of course also did not work.
Additional I tried just creating a folder with the name of one of the files and I got this:
mkdir: cannot create directory `(audio) - R56339.EXE': File exists
Well yeah a file exsists with that name, but I want to create a folder- why is there a conflict?
Just to be clear here are the contents of this folder:
~/Desktop/LAB/Media/Drivers - (Image Deployment)/Optiplex_GX260/XP> ls
(audio) - R56339.EXE (NIC-Onboard-Intel) - R54402.EXE
(Modem-datafax-V92) - R54403.EXE OEM_Applications
