I am trying to run prstat for an extended time, outputting to a file and appending a time-stamp to each line (running on Solaris 10). I have tried this:
prstat -c -U usrname 60 480 | nawk '$1=="PID" { "date +%d%m%Y-%H:%M:%S" | getline d ; close("date") } { print d,$0 }' > /tmp/fileName &
this only appends the time the command was started to each line. I would like to fix this so that a new time is recorded every 60 seconds.
I was created one folder in linux with current time was 1978(For example). I was moved this folder to usb(FAT32 file format).While seeing this folder in window its not showing the folder time created time stamp, because the USB file system only support the year after 1980 . But again i am putting the same folder in linux ,its showing the correct time stamp.How is it possible? Because FAT32 only supports timestamp after 1980, but still its showing 1978 in linux system
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to make a few folders, but I need the fold name to reflect the time which they were created. For example: if I create a folder at on 2010.06.03 at 13:01:34 then I would need a file name something similar to the following 20100603_130134. In addition, could the same method be used for .tar files? I would like a bash script which I can run to perform the following; however, I am not familiar with scripting in Linux yet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to use the stamp function in pdftk. I'm trying to stamp a pdf document with a pdf I generate on the fly that contains the current date. Below is what I have so far. The problem is that pdftk says "Error: failed to open stamp PDF file". the file is in the same dir as execution, I've made it 776, I've specified full paths... nothing seems to work. I've even tried the "prompt" option and specify it manually but I get the same behavior. This is pdftk version 1.4.
Script (named "go"):
Code:
# date in YYYY-MM-DD format
umask 0
# create a variable with a formatted date
TODAY=`date +%Y-%m-%0e`;

How do I change the time stamp on videos that I record so that they say what DAY they were recorded instead of just the DATE? I can't find the config file which I assume would be the place to look.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two systems running on linux. system one is running with RHEL 5.4/X86_64 hardware, system two is running with RHEL 5.3/i686 hardware. One filesystem is shared from system two and mounted as NFS on system one. Now when i do a copy from local filesystem to the NFS share from system one,it shows as follows
Quote:
-rw-r--r-- 1 xkinved rbak1 30 Mar 3 2011 king
But if i do copy with -p option then it shows right time stamp. Both machines are running with slight(minutes) different in time. Does this could be cause for this problem? The problem is happening while i do FTP from some other machines too.
I want to use history command to show the time stamp, user id, ip address, command logged
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need some help recovering from a "slight" screwup. We just moved 3 TB of data from one RAID Array to another. Low lever archive files. This was done with a regular cp (for some reason) and now we have lost all the timestamps on the files, and we urgently need to get the timestamps back on these files.
We are running Ubuntu 9.10 Server and we have mounted the following
1. /mnt/old-raid ##Old raid from the old server
2. /mnt/new-raid ##New raid on the server
I know we can read out the timestamp on the old server using the command stat -c '%Y' <<filname>>
I know we can change the timestamp of the file, using the command touch -d '<<date>>'
To get from the stat -c date to the input date in touch we need to use date -d @<<timestamp>> +'%d %b %Y %R'
So my question is, how can I create a loop that will list all files in a folder, get their timestamp and update the old timestamp with the new?
I am trying to rename multiple files in a directory and add the Date/Time stamp to the file name.
Example:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
Renamed to
2009_02_01_21.txt
2009_02_02_21.txt
2009_02_03_21.txt
I am able to accomplish this using this command:
mv file1.txt "`date +%Y_%m%d_%H`".txt
But I want to automate this task, I have many files to process and I dont want to do them one by one.
I already tried this but it does not work
mv *.txt "`date +%Y_%m%d_%H`".txt
In the Windows world where I came from, Irfanview freeware easily renamed a large folder of JPEG photos by EXIF time & date stamps, appending a unique number if the time and date stamps were the same. Is there an equivalent rename-by-EXIF information batch command in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid? For example, change (based solely on EXIF information): FROM:DSC_0001.JPG TO:20110224_09:34:56am.JPG
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on some code where I have two files. I know I can use cat file1 >> file2 to append file1 to the end of file2. What I was wondering is how I could append the first line of file 1 to the end of the first line of file2, then the second line, and so forth.
So if file1 was :
cat
dog
mouse
file2:
orange
red
blue
I want file2 to be:
orange cat
red dog
blue mouse
Also I need it to remove any duplicates from the same horizontal line.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Debian linux. I have 100 timers running. If a timer expired which will generate a signal and it was mapped to a same function handler. All the timers are mapped to one function handler. The problem is if the timer expires one at a time, the function handler called at a time. But if the 2 timers expires at a time, the function handler is called one time only instead 2 times. Is it possible to invoke the function handler as many times based on timer expirary happens simultaneoulsy?

Like say, if i wanted to create symbolic links for all the files under a folder in my hard disk to a folder on my desktop, I could say (Pretty sure this won't work, but I am looking forward to something like this) echo ln -s | ls . This should append ln -s to all the files of ls.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000 it had windows7 on it when I bought it new. Needless to say windows just ran too slow. The only Ubuntu distro that would boot up was Karmic 9.10. I had to append the phrase acpi=off to get the live ISO to boot I had to type acpi=off after the word splash. I saw it would boot so I installed it as the only OS on this computer.
Now when I boot up I am hitting the power button once and the back on again to get to the grub. I hit the E key use my arrows down to the word splash type acpi=off. Then hit CTRL X to boot up. How do I put this permanently into Grub2.

Newbie 1st post here. Trying to find the most efficient way to copy a file to a different directory and rename it with a date stamp extension. Looking to accomplish this with one command if possible.
File = make_file
Full path /home/user1/bin/scripts/make_file
would like to move to the following directory /home/user1/bin/scripts/archive/
I'm trying to find out how to use command substitution along with the date command that when I copy the file to the archive directory it gets renamed with a time stamp extension. It should look something like "make_page_12:00:00-24-10-2010" I've tried a few different combinations using the cp and mv commands but can't seem to get it to work the way I want to.
this is how we append a file at command line its like

I have the following issue: I want to upload some documents on my site(mostly pdfs) with watermark and as far my status is: I have managed to get my watermark in:
transparent png
pdf format
>> When it is a text/pdf I use a script using pdftk, which merges the pdf version of watermark to the pdf document (success)
>> When it is a scanned document(pdf) if I use pdftk, it only works if I apply the watermark as stamp (foreground not background). But in this case the watermark overlaps the original document despite the fact that watermark has the right opacity.... (fail) So the only solution is to apply a transparent watermark. So the question is:How to make a pdf transparent Or how to apply watermark from png file I tried adobe acrobat with wine and it applies the pdf watermark as stamp(foreground) with right opacity so I suppose it was a kind of bug maybe from pdftk, but I would like a command like way to do it so that I can make a script.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am combining data from a couple different input files and creating an output file in a specific format. I notice that if I use the >> operator, information gets appended to a new line in my output file. This is useful, but if I'd like to append onto the CURRENT line, is there an easy way to do this? I've been googling around and see lots of complicated answers, nothing that suggests to me an easy way to do this. For example, if my output file looks like this:
b1a:] cat test
hello my name is
b1a:]
and I'd simply like to append "Bob", how can I do it? If I use
b1a:] echo Bob >> test
b1a:] cat test
b1a:] hello my name is
Bob
b1a:]
So what I would prefer is some command that would create the result:
hello my name is Bob
