I am trying to write some small script file that will check if a USB stick is connected to my pc or not. I can't seem to get it to work, but I am sure it is a very simple fix.
I am running on Fedora core 10.Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is?If I run these lines through console it works fine (meaning, I type the commands in this file straight in the command line/console).
I am new to scripting, would like to have a script that tests whether a directory exists on remote host & display the message accordingly. The remote hostname can be provided by means of file containing list of hostnames. Can use rsh for connecting to remote host.I tried with couple of scripts by searching google but didn't get desired result. Please help me, below is my efforts, $file contains list of hostnames.

After that I'm stumped as to how to do the if statement
I am in need of a way to check that the same file exists within two different directories using a filename as a variable. Here is the process which requires it: The script is reaches out (via ftp) and pulls down a file(s) and delete it afterwards. This is halfhazard because in the instance it doesnt pull down the file, yet still deletes it, we are up a creek. I am looking to pull it down to a temp location and then verify that file exists in the location in which it needs to be present to process before deleting it, adding a little extra layer for security. The script itself is finished.If I put a file name in manually it works perfect. I just need a way to pump the filename into the variable.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a script that dose the following checks if files exists by read input from a file then compares them to the files listed in the directory if they don’t exists the script would report back which file dose not exists. I also need to format the output so that files are grouped in different groups, group A, B, and C and etc based on file name. I would like the output of that do not exists files to be sorted based on second number in the file name than group according. I understand some of the basics of bash scripting something along of the lines of a loop and if statements might do the trick. Below is what I have so far. I don’t car so much about the script reporting back the file exists I prefer to only know if the file is missing and is less than 3 days old. Problem is if a file dose not exists in the reports file the test compares against the wrong file.
Group A
Foo22000.tar.gz
Foo22010.tar.gz
Group B
foo25000.tar.gz
foo25100.tar.gz
Group C
foo26000.tar.gz

Code:a mkdir -p /home/chris/Downloads/ARCHIVE/`date -I` find /home/chris/Downloads* -mtime +14 -exec "cp {} /home/chris/Downloads/ARCHIVE/`date -I` ;
It's meant to move old files from my Downloads folder into an archive file (later tar them). The directory exists, I've used $PWD and nautilus and ls to make sure it's there, yet for every file it gives
Code: find: `cp /home/chris/Download/foo.bar /home/chris/Downloads/ARCHIVE/2011-08-19': No such file or directory I tried to test it on a different destination, specifically my home folder. IT still gave me the error.IS it a bad syntax within find or something else? I'm running a 32-bit system with 11.04
Is it possible to set up a udev rule that will check if a file exists on a USB drive?
I've got a few ubuntu servers in environments with some very not-techy peoples. Im hoping to get to the point where I can give them a few USB sticks with scripts on them, and if they plus one of these sticks in it will be mounted in, say, /media/special (rather than /media/usb0..7) and then the script would be run. But if a usb drive without special.sh is inserted, it should be mounted to /media/usb0..7 as normal.
I've been googeling for udev rules, and it seems simple enough to specify a mount point based on brand/model/serialnumber/etc... but i havent been able to find anything about checking for the existance of a file.
Tho the more i think about it, the more im starting to think its not going to be that straight forward. Can udev check for a file on a drive before that drive is mounted? Is it going to be a case of mounting every drive to /media/usb0..7 then having a script run that will check for the file, and if its there change the mount point before running special.sh?
I was transferring some files from my laptop (running FC6) to a server at my work (don't know what kind) with "scp -rpC" and it stalled, don't know why.

if [ -e /root/.credentials ]; then

does first line create file in tmp directory with dsuser.exists.* ?or we are assigning the path of existing file in this directory?

There's been a couple of similar questions on LQ, but only one which seemed to have a vaguely helpful answer was this one. I too am running 64-bit Slackware, so it may well be a similar problem. The poster installs "ld-linux.so.2", which I don't have on my system (I have "ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" installed, though)... However, he gets it from a package using apt, and the source package which contains ld-linux.so.2 seems to be glibc.
Is ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 in any sense equivalent to ld-linux.so.2? Have other people seen this problem, and do they believe installing ld-linux.so.2 will solve the problem? If so, is installing glibc the right way of going about it?
i'm using c++ and Ubuntu and I need to write/copy some files to a directory chosen by the user of my system (the user can save it on any folder of any disk of the pc or other usb device). Before I do it, I need to know if there's space available on the disk. I cannot only check the result of write() function, the validation must be executed before I start to save or copy.
I was trying to use statvsf structure, but I only have the complete filepath (/home/lobinho/myDocs/), not the disk path. The statvfs() function only works with disk path (i.e. /media/KINGSTON ).
The source of my function:
Code:
int MyClass::availableSpace(string dst, ulong* availableSize) {
int result = ERROR;
try {
struct statvfs devData;

My laptop keeps shutting down out of nowhere- now more so than ever since installing Ubuntu. After starting a thread in the hardware and laptop section asking anyone if they had a solution to a well known fan problem with the Acer Aspire 5315 (my laptop), the only responses I received were rubbish in nature. Simply put, the Acer Aspire 5315 has a faulty fan which runs only when it wants to- not when the computer NEEDS it to.
I found THIS solution to my problem: [URL]. As suspected, this isn't a BIOS thing as some have told me that it was. But here's the REAL crappy part - the solution posted in this thread works up until you're about to install the fix via the terminal. The commands spit back at me that "No such file or directory exists". THUS, I'm unable to get this thing working.
I need someone to explain to me why the terminal is spitting out the garbage that it is- that no such file or directory exists when attempting to install and launch the fix for this fan issue. Please be as detailed as possible. What? Should I move the script to some sub-directory? how does this input into the terminal?
i was wondering if there's a bash script to check the amount of files in a directory with an IF statement..
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a bash script to check how much free space is left in /var directory then, if it hits a certain threshold, delete certain files with numbers for extensions (e.g. fileA.1, fileA.2 fileA.3, and fileA.4, fileB.1, fileB.2 fileB.3, and fileB.4 ). Here's a snippet from my script:

If I use a * as a wildcard for the number extension, the script fails. Maybe regex would work here, but I'm not particularly accomplished at it. Or some other construct.
I have been searching for 90 minutes for something that I "think" should be fairly easy. I'm pretty new to Bash Scripting so I could be completely wrong. Then again it may be a weird request to even need something like this. But here it is.I have a script written to convert data from one of our software version to another. The only thing I need to add to it is a "check to make sure the user running the script is in the /tmp directory".

The problem is that if you take that right now and run it, it will return back good in that it does exist. What I need it to do is pass back that it's bad because it doesn't exist (that is unless you actually do have that directory in your root).
I need some software that will check .xml file and tell me which character is malformed in 'utf-8'. I am using perl for some parsing.
