I am working in HP UNIX. I have one process which is running continuously.There is log file generated for the process. I want to take back up of file without loosing any logs after particular interval of time or say file size increases more that 1GB.
View 3 RepliesI have cronjob that uses rsync to back up to a remote directory every hour. how do I set this rsync up so that if initial process is running already, it prevents running same rsync command and checks again in next hour until the process is finished/terminated?
View 5 Replies View Relatedin bash scripting...say I want to take the input from a user via a question...I would do this:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
echo "How large do you want this partition to be in GB (enter only the number)?" read PART_SIZE echo "You want your partition to be $PART_SIZE GB" But I don't want to echo it back to the screen, I want to add it to the content of /etc/fstab. I have been mucking around with sed to find the tmpfs partition in /etc/fstab and add the partition size attribute (this is to use the onboard RAM as a volatile partition)...but am not having any luck...
The portion of /etc/fstab that uses /dev/shm for the tmpfs partition is:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
So, if a user says "24" GB to the answer (from above), how do I get it to automatically add that value to the tmpfs partition line in /etc/fstab? So it would look like:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=24g,defaults 0 0
I understand that I would also have to come up with a way to put "size=XXg", which I could do with a copied over generic file before this action...then the script would have to find "XX" and replace it with the user's figure...
Whenever I'm running my application process, I've 1M physical memory usage is increasing for every 2 hours.This I observed using 'free -m' command.But 'top' command did not showing any increase 'RSS' size.It is same as it was started initially.Even though I stopped my process,the increased memory was not released back. If I start my application process then again memory usage start increasing by 1M for every 2 hours. increase of memory usage observer with 'free' and that too when my application is running, but top command is not showing any change in the RSS sizeIf my application is leaking any memory which is allocated by new/malloc, that should be released back whenever my application exit and the size increase will be show through top command for that process, right? This is not happeningThis proves that there is no potential leaks in my process.But why physical memory is increasing when only my process is running?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn the comments section of this blog, the commenter "Pratik" claims that you can edit a running bash script, without killing it, and have the changes picked up by the running script. He claims you can do this by editing files in /proc. Now, I know how to find the /proc folder that contains the data on the running process, Code: cd /proc/`pgrep process_name` But I can't figure out what I should do if I want to edit a running bash script.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have p1,p2,p3,p4 some processes created by me in C. p1, p2, p3 are started individually from several consoles. And I want process p4 to terminates processes p1, p2, p3 if they are running. Which is the easiest way to accomplish that? put all processes in the same process group and send from p4 a kill signal to the group. But I couldn't do that because I cannot call successfully setpgid(getpid(), 15000) from p1-p4. It's there some way to put them in the same group? the processes don't have a child-parent relationship, they are launched manually from consoles.

I can't find a way for the user to cancel the decryption process by exiting the script without pdfcrack orphaning. Line 349 works the rest of the time; the concerned process is line 228. I believe it's a piping/subshell problem. At least that's how I've been going at it in vain.

I have an ubuntu 10.10 server and want to run a script on it to check if a process is running. If it is not running, it will start the process and also write into a log file.
When running the script i get the following error message:

Here is my script.
I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time using a USB drive and everything went fine during installation. However now during the boot phase I see 10 or so lines of
[14.24024] ata5: COMRESET failed (error=-16)
The numbers prior to COMRESET change with each line but the rest remains the same. I am extremely new to Ubuntu or Linux for that matter as this boot process is also taking about 3-4 or even 5minutes as it slowly cycles through each error. Once 10 or so lines have popped up the computer finishes starting and I can log in fine and everything.
if my network downs my system process get slow down ... only in user mode but in root it is working fine ..the process slow especially if i try to open a terminal or run any gui application its taking much time comparing to normal time where network is up ..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a script can process input text file and find out 3 values called positive, negative, neutral. Now, I have a new input file which contains some text called 'content' and I need to use the above script to get three value positive, negative, neutral for each of this 'content'. The content is text in many lines and bounded by two tags <content> and </content>
The input file could have this format:
<example>
<input>
<id>abcdef</id>
<content> line1
line 2

Do you think that is possible to write that in Linux ? I have the feeling that using Linux with text finding, replacing much shorter and easier(when I have to write long and complicated code in other languages), so really want to learn how to use it from here.
I hade created a file with following text entries.
content of fileitems.txt

How do I read the file one line at a time and so its ready to do something with that line.
Having several distros on my computer (including Windows), I prefer BING (BootIt NG) as an overall boot manager. This way, I just install a distro together with GRUB to its dedicated partition, and keep full control over what partitions are available/visible and bootable when family members use the computer.Yesterday, I tried to update Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04) and got a problem with the newly available GRUB (1.98-ubuntu7): it said that installing GRUB to a partition was a "BAD" idea, and, luckily, refused to update. I've noticed this behaviour during my last install of Sidux (great distro to keep track of what's happening at the KDE front, by the way). Same problem, same message. Result: no more new Sidux releases...
What's going on? Is this intended behaviour and thus making it impossible for people to manage their booting their own way? Are we talking about a bug here? There seems to be a mentioning of this behaviour on Launchpad, but it's unclear whether it's a bug or not; at least to me.
I do use a virtualization environment using VirtualBox,Qemu. Many a times I have to format my laptop then in such situations installing again the previous programs and making same changes to the configurations is very painful. Is there some way I can make some sort of backup which I just need to install on my existing system and get all previous things immediately installed without going to install and setting of a lot of other applications and settings.

Is there a work around for this issue at all(without killing the original instance") ? The reason I do not want to kill the app because there might be 2 users connected to the same machine that might be using the same app.

Running first upgrade after installing 9.10.
Currently on item "Configuring linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic" and the progress bar/terminal readout has not changed for an hour or so I'd say.
Don't want to cause issues by killing it halfway through, especially as it presents an opportunity to learn something!
Brand new to Linux. Sort of got thrown in front of the bus if you know what I mean. The company I work for has a Linux server running CentOS 5.4 Company uses Linux for their Email, FTP and Web Server. Have been here a few years dabbling in and out of Linux and now that the old Admin has left the company.....I need to learn it ASAP. The server has run pretty solid until today.
The email server runs SendMail and SpamAssasin. Received lots of complaints today regarding extra SPAM. Noticed that SpamAssassin was not running. Tried to restart it through the WebMin tools and got the following error: Starting spamd: child process [3956] exited or timed out without signaling production of a PID file: exit 255 at /usr/bin/spamd line 2588.
I would really like to preserve a file's original modified date and pass it back to the file as the same attribute after a script has worked on it. I get a lot of JPEG files from different places on the Net which I either turn around and upload or burn to disk, and having the "original" date of either download or last mod in a graphics app would be for me, in the long run, a lot more helpful when deciding, for instance, which files to "recycle" or pass on backing up more than once.I've tried doing this on my own every now and then. Where I run into problems is that it appears "stat" and "date" use different formats for date information, and I can't seem to puzzle out how to "translate" one to the other satisfactorily for the latter command.
Just to give an example:
stat foo.jpg |grep Modify gives me
Modify: 2010-07-12 06:28:56.890625000 -0400
Passing that string as-is to date foo.jpg, I get the errordate: unknown option -- 0 and the usual semi-courteous suggestion to Try 'date --help' for more information.Somehow my TexInfo database got screwed up somewhere along the line and info dategives me the short article on date input formats, not the full documentation for the command
