I need to write a script which will delete all the previous directories I have created. I have found out how to remove one directory with the following code:find /media/CE40-EB9D -type d -name "week1" -exec rm -rf {} ;but how can I get the same script to remove weeks 2-5?
View 5 RepliesI'm currently using rsync to backup one drive to another. However, it is not currently set up to delete files if they are deleted from the source directory. I'm looking for a way to tell it to delete a file if it was deleted form the source directory X number of days ago.
Anyway I can do this with rsync or a combo with another backup program?

"system crash" means that:(1)I can ping it , but can not connect to it (via ssh or http or anything else)(2)the major role of that machine is to run a web application written in java, every 3 weeks(almost that), the users inform us and say they can log in that web application , and we find the situation just like (1) says.When this happen , we can only restart the machine by pushing the power button.(It's sad !)I've try to read all the log files located in /var/log but find nothing interesting.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using crontab to start and stop music playback (its like start and end of a brake in school). The problem is that some of the entries should be run on even weeks and some on odd.
exp:
This should be played on even weeks
00 08 * * * audacious -p
10 08 * * * audacious -u
and this on odd
05 08 * * * audacious -p
15 08 * * * audacious -u
There are about 20 entries for even and 20 for odd. I found here on the forum that maybe this should work but for it is not working for me
00 08 * * * [[ $(expr `date +\%W` \% 2) = 0 ]] && audacious -p
If I put it like that its not working at all

When I try to compile the whole project, I used -ffunction-sections,-fdata-sections to generate the .o files, use Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections to link to the exacutable file. gcc 4.3.2 ld 2.18 Debian 5 After the first time I compiled it, I got a list of Removed functions. But one second later, I rememberd that I forget to close the Compile Switch: Debug. Then I had to recompile it and got another list. Compare these two lists, I found that , bxx isn't on the second list. First I guess that bxx is a debug function but never used in debug mode, and it won't be compiled in release mode. I check the source and find that there was no compile switch for bxx. But it's caller function axx, is removed, both the debug switch is on and off. I try to compiled the project for several times , but the result is the same. I can't realized it , why? Is that the --gc-sections won't remove all the functions not used?

"word" is the name of the row in the table and maganda umaga is a randomly selected choice from the row. Is there a way i can remove the name of the row from the variable $line.

we have a variable LIBS:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'
I'd want to get:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'
Bear in mind that LIBS can be variable, I mean I need to drop any duplicate and only retain the last one of each different entry. And we must keep the order as is, I must not sort out them.
So, if LIBS is:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv -lpthread -lresolv'
I need: LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv'

I have multiple file in one folder. So how to use any script to read in one directory folder and do a same task. I prefer using awk, sed or perl.
i have the following:
Quote:
echo %host%|sed "$s/.$//"
this would remove the Last character of the value assigned to the %host%. for example if my value is: abcd i get abc. but i am not able to assign the output. for example when i do
Quote:
set k=`echo %host%|sed "$s/.$//"`
after doing echo %k i get no output at the command prompt...!! whereas when i just type:
Quote:
echo abcd|sed "$s/.$//"
at the command prompt i get abc. maybe some other ways to Remove the Last character...?

Is it possible by using awk?
I am using bash. My question is :
Code:
eval echo \h

both give output as h, but

Does eval here just remove backslashes (I know the use of eval in the case where substitutions occur)
