My hardware is the FriendlyArm mini2440 Samsung board. I run our main application from init.d/rcS. It uses printf's to display continuous program debug information that can be seen on the serial ttySAC2 console. I would like to be able to remotely view this information by a telnet connection when needed. What is the best way to accomplish this? The telnet user can possibly activate some script or program. I saw there is a ttysnoop program that I could not get to compile.
There must be a simpler way. There must be several ways. Instead of using printf I could do something else. I do not want to use a normal log file to the flash file system. I had thought of using a ram file in /var directory but it would complicate matters as I would need to limit its size and the telnet user needs to view the program's printfs in a real time fashion.
How system call internals could be known ? I mean for example if i take the example of write system call of linux kernel, where i can find out the code of write() system call in the kernel source tree ? The problem is write() system call directly write on console.If we want to write the data on some web page then write() system call will not do that ? How to redirect out data from console to application like html/web page?
I have an application that uses a telnet console, and I have an autostart script to start it (and check that it is running).The problem is that if the program is not startet by root, or by using sudo, I cant get access to the telnet console, it just says "connection refused".The application works fine, but I cant acces its console, so I have to shut it down, and then restart it with sudo to be able to log in to it.Anyone know how to make the script start the application with enough rights?
The serial console is for debugging and will physically disappear when product is mature. However, there are many background processes that may print out statuses/results. These go to /dev/console or serial console. Telnet will be the only way to get a console. I tried netconsole (with netcat) and it works, but it is only for kernel printk messages. I tried "program > /dev/pts/0" and it works also. it would be better if I can just change/add the console /dev/pts/0 to the existing /dev/console.
I'd like to redirect the output to a file and to the console. I know about tee but the issue is that it waits until the first process finishes.e.gecho "hello world" | tee test.txtfirst calls echo and then tee.Is there a way to redirect "on the fly" ?
I am trying to grep multiple numbers from file, grep does have the -f option for that.
Code: grep -f <`seq 500 520` /etc/passwd I know this could be done with
Code: for i in `seq 500 520`; do grep "$i" /etc/passwd; done But my question is fare more behind this example. It is possible to redirect one command output which will be treat as a content of file for another command ?
I have done some tcp stream multiplexer. I'm using it as independent login proxy (user is once authenticated and then switched to hidden device (cisco)). But I need to reset session (no connection) configuration, because cisco supports xterm, ctr-c, etc... Am I able to do? Just restart negotiation? Using IAC codes?
I am trying to find the difference between the above two services. Both are under xinetd and can someone please explain the difference between them (is one more secure than the other one?)
I have a customer who is complaining that they can connect to prt y on IP x with telnet. They are seeing the following:
telnet x.x.x.x y Trying x.x.x.x... Connected to x.x.x.x. Escape character is '^]'.
after some time the connection of course times out. Connection closed by foreign host. There is no telnet service running on this port so they cannot do anything, but they are complaining tht the fact that telnet "connects" is a security risk. I am having difficulty explaining why they are able to connect with telnet. I know it has to do with the socket layer API in Linux but I am having difficulty explaining this sufficiently. I also can't just say "this is the way linux works" to them. I am looking through "UNIX Network Programming" by W.
I want to create script wherein it will check the application if its running. The command that I'll be using to check the application is telnet (if you can recommend others, that's ok). I've an application and it is listening to port 1808. If I do telnet localhost 1808, the response is :
What I want to happen is if the response is like to code above, it will execute a commands. Obviously, above code knows that the application is not working so I need to execute a commands. I created a script before using expect but I don't think it will work because I haven't establish a shell yet unlike successful telnet I could spawn expect.
Does unistd.h declare functions in the kernel or in the stdclib? Or in any other C file. I need to know from the inside how some of the functions work.
I am again struggling to make a script work, but hey, it is fun, I am learning new things. I discovered the set -x option which was, for me, like the second coming. Still, what I am not able to do is redirect ALL output to a (log) file, including what is produced by the -x setting. Let's assume a very simple script: Code: #!/bin/bash set -x source="/home/atelier/Bureau/" ls -la $source and I am running it as . test.sh >> /var/log/test.rmcb.log
The result of ls goes inded into the log file, but the rest still shows on the console where I am running the script: Code: ++ source=/home/atelier/Bureau/ ++ ls --color=auto -la /home/atelier/Bureau/ Is there a way to redirect EVERYTHING to the log file ?
I feel kind of embarrassed posting here, but this is technically a scripting sub-forum. Here is the problem. I have a folder with various files which include .txt files as well
How can i redirect same content to each of the .txt files in the folder?
I have tried Code: $ echo "hello" > *.txt -bash: !": event not found Code: also cat ~/otherdir/test.txt > *.txt -bash: *.txt: ambiguous redirect Can anyone help me with this?Ok i solved it Code: #! /bin/bash for file in *.txt do echo "Text that needs to be written" > $file done
I have a little complex Makefile system. A parent Makefile call dozens of Makefiles in subdirctories. And the subdirctory Makefile calles shell script to do real building. I want to grab all output this Makefile system generate. So, i employ "make 2>&1 > make.log". but not all output messages are filed into make.log. The message generated by sub-makefile called shell script cannot be recorded into make.log. And another curiouse thing is, if i launch "make 2>&1 > make.log" in a perl script, all output do be sent into make.log.
I would really like to capture the output of scp and my file's progress. Scp updates the transfer rate every 1 second, and I will like to save the transfer rate at every update. So for example, if the file transfer takes 30 seconds, I would like 30 reports of the transfer rate.
The output looks like: Code: file.dat 1% 3664KB 938.5KB/s 05:48
Whenever I try a simple redirect like: Code: scp file.dat 192.168.1.100:~/ &> output ... it does not save the rate at every update, it only shows the final rate.
If I try using typescript by starting "script" ... it's the same deal.
I need to redirect a /usr/sbin/sendmail command to $HOME/bin/msmtp .The sendmail command would be coming from a PHP5 application. I'm assuming the best way is to use .bashrc, but .htaccess is also available.The remote server is a shared web host which is running Debian 4.0.I do not have root access.I have SSH access.
I'm trying to write a shell script that do ftp and download file periodically, this script should be called by a daemon running in the background.
the shell script "script.sh" is as follows:
Code: yafc ftp://test:test@192.168.1.225:21 < commands and the "commands" files is
Code: d Root/md5* / quit
if I run script.sh it will work just fine. But when the daemon software calls the "script.sh", the script will send ftp login request to the ftp server, but will not even answer the username or anything.
I believe it is something about child process redirection, but I don't know how to deal with it.
This problem is not only with yafc, it is the same with any ftp client or any application like telnet and so.
I have got a script with an outer and inner loop. The inner loop issues loads of echo's which need to be redirected to a log file determined by the outer loop. The obvious solution is to redirect every echo to >$LOG and set LOG in the outer loop.
Code:
for f in $FILES ; do LOG=<logfile> for l in $LINES ; do
[code]....
it is possible to map stdout to $LOG in the outer loop without having to redirect every subsequent individual command output?
I have a TCL expect script that spawns a telnet session to a Nortel DMS100 to execute some commands. The strange thing is that the response in expect_out is not consistent. It sometimes contains a extra enter or newline. This results in differences in the expect out buffer. Here is a part of the script:
send "time " sleep 1 expect -re ">"
[code]...
This command displays the time. The correct output should be (with log_user=1):
>time Time is 11:44:04 >
But sometimes the output is:
>timeTime is 11:45:04 >
As you can see here the is missing on the command that expect sends , or at least in the echo that is comming back. I use a split command to filter out the response in the expect_out buffer, but this fails when the is missing. Here is a example with the debug enabled:
[code]....
I suspect it has something to do with a slow response of the switch. I tried to send the time command slow and with the send_human but the result is the same. A timeout between the send and expect also doesn't help.
