Programming :: Print Message When Changing Directories
Jul 21, 2010
I need some direction on a small scripting question. I've been doing some development and storing the code on a network drive with multiple user access. My development is getting complex enough that it is time to set up a svn repo for it. I would like to set up a little script (if possible) that prints a message/reminder to whomever is accessing the code directory stating that the code is ultimately stored in svn and any changes need to be checked in, etc. Is there a way to have linux print a message to the screen based on a 'cd /specific_dir/' command? So far google is mum on the topic. Using Debian and bash shell.
I'm writing a script using ksh that diffs two dirs that contain about 30 files, and writing the results on a logfile. When files differ, it writes the difference with no problem, but I also need the script to write a message if no differences are found.
I have to write a script that accepts two directory names (JIIT, JUIT) as positional parameters and checks which files are identical in both directories and files having same contents are also considered as identical in same directory. I tried using diff:
#both directories contain three files...file1, file2, file3 echo "Enter the directories:" read d1 read d2 cd $d1
if diff file1.sh file2.sh > /dev/null then echo same 1,2 else echo different fi
if diff file1.sh file3.sh > /dev/null then echo same 1,3 else echo different fi
if diff file2.sh file3.sh > /dev/null then echo same 3,2 else echo different fi
cd ../ cd $d2 .....
I used the same code in the other directory for the three files. This is not running. I also want to know what to do when I need to compare files from different directories. i.e., JIIT, JUIT..
What are the commands for changing directories in fedora linux i wanted to install something so i put it in my desktop and documents folder but i couldn't install becuase i couldn't change directories.
If it was possible to move the software install directory from the main drive to a secondary drive
I am using a ubuntu fork (mint linux) with a eee pc the primary drive is very small at around 3GB I've added my second drive to the fstab file in etc so it mounts on start up is there anyway I can make programs install to that second drive or to move my current applications to that drive?
I have several directories, each owned by root and a group of the same name,By setting the sgid bit, I made sure that newly created files and directories are owned by the correct group, and that directories have the sgid bit set too.On each newly created directory or file, the permissions are set to 755. This is because this is the default umask, and I cannot change a users umask. I actually only want files created below a particular directory to have group write access, inheriting this behaviour to newly created directories properly.I'm not on samba or NFS, I have to do this for SSH users.The filesystem is ext3.I started to fool around with ACLs, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I have a fileserver running openSUSE 11.2 and samba services for file access from MS Windows based workstations. My question relates to changing default permissions on files and directories created from the windows clients.
Following are extracts of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file :
Even with the above entries, sometimes there are files and directories created by the windows clients having permission
Is it possible to change the general permission denied error. I have some rather young users on this system that think they can "hack the gibson" and I would love to change the general error message to something a little more rude/funnyex:# cd restricted area -sh: cd: restricted area: Permission deniedI am curious if its possible to change the error message in general?ex:# cd restricted area-sh: cd: restricted area: (funny/rude message goes here)Quick info:This is a Gentoo 2008.0 system, I would also love to do this on my slacware and OpenBSD boxes as well just for kicks.
We are trying to create a message forwarder program that receive a message on Port A and pass it on t Port B. Also receive a message from Port C and Pass it on to Port D as follows.
i have problem in socket programming, while displaying received message in file,i got a problem... i cant able to write it in the file.... this is the code....
now my problem is run time error i can able to create file but i cant able to write file....log.txt contain nothing.... as here i have give sample code... dont say not initialising function and all.... i have initialised , please only see func1() - my problem is only not able to write msg which i got received from the client..
I need to find if, in a folder any directories exist, except a certain one named "mes croquis".What I am trying to say, is that the re already is a directory named "my croquis", which I have to ignore. IF any other directory appears, I have to archive them.I got everything so far, except the starting condition.In other terms , I am lookign for something like this:
IF anyDir EXIST AND name != "mes croquis" do something else
I'm having problems figuring out the process to find directories that DO NOT contain a certain file. I have a mp3 collection that all the album art is name "folder.jpg". Not all the albums have images. I need a way to find the albums/directories that do not contain "folder.jpg". I can find the ones that do contain "folder.jpg" with
I'm trying to figure out how Make handles directories.
How can I modify this makefile so it will put all of the .o files in a separate build directory?
Code:
But make ignores this and still puts main.o in the base directory. And if I refer to the build directory in the dependencies for bandit, make complains about "no rule ..."
I want to keep main.cpp in the base directory, all other sources in the src directory, and all object files in the build directory.
I have tried this a million ways, got it to work once but it didn't work sitewide for some reason. I have a url: [URL] and I want it to be found by going to: [URL] I am using this
I have been searching for a solution to the following problem:
When my distro of choice updates Firefox web browser, the directory name is '/usr/lib/firefox-<version>'. The problem here is that the directory name is dynamic by nature and doesn't allow a simple static solution, e.g. 'cp -rf /usr/local/files/bookmarks.html /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile'.
The same quandary applies when adding extensions, changing prefs etc. I have looked at the following commands:- find, sed, xargs, grep, awk, fprint. Unfortunately my grasp of syntax and programming is very simple at best.
I am supposed to create a script that displays the directories alphabetically with the size of each directory on the left hand size. I know you should use du to check for disk usage. So far i got the directories to display but not alphabetically.
I have mounted remote Windows share using CIFS and writing bash script for those files. However being a windows share since there is a space between directory names like "Program Files" and hence I am not able to parse it through bash script and script exits with error.
Does any one have any idea about how to perform the operation in script on such directories?
e.g. cd /tmp/temp/Program Error: No such File or Directory cd Files/ Error: No such File or Directory
I'm in the midst of making a perl script and I was wondering if it was possible, to say, have a folder with 20 files in it, then move 5 files out of there, into a new one. I would like to to do this until the original folder has no more files in it, but I'm very stuck.
This simple task is proving harder then imagined. I have a multi-level directory that I'm trying to clean of duplicates, but I can't get 'find' to print what I need to see. To give an illustrative example, here is a dir:
Code: stuart@stuart:~/testdir$ ls * dir1: level2: dir1
So the output of find as i'd like it to work would show the two locations of dir1, which would be ./dir1 and ./level2/dir1. But no:
Code: stuart@stuart:~/testdir$ ls -d */ | head -1 | find . "`cat`" -type d . ./level2 ./level2/dir1 ./dir1 dir1/
