Mar 1, 2011I'm using an 'if' statement to check whether one of positional arguments is a word or a construction like "x-y", but something doesn't seem right.
Here is the relevant part of the code:
Code:
if [[ "$3" =~ [a-Z]-[a-Z] || "$3" =~ [a-Z] ]]; then
grepRange=$3; else grepRange=$4
fi
And for the input like this:

but shouldn't the $grepRange variable be blank in this case?
Bash version is 4.1.7(1)
Fedora :: Evaluate The Ext3 File System Performance
Apr 13, 2010I need evaluate the ext3 file system performance; i need define:
- services provided
- parameters and
- the performance with different parameter values; for example, changin the value of the "data" parameter (journal, ordered, writeback).
I do not know what services ext3 provides. Well, i know intuitively that it provides services to read, write and erase files. But, there are anything more?. Where can i find the API?. Is the ext3 file system POSIX compliant?
General :: Delete /etc/passwd And Recover It With /etc/passwd - From Runlevel 1 The Lastly Created User Is Not Having His Account After Recovery?
Jan 14, 2011we know that /etc/passwd - is a replica of /etc/passwd file and acts as a backup in any damage done to /etc/passwd file..i have observed a strange thing in RHEL 5.4....for example... if /etc/passwd has 100 accounts.. then /etc/passwd - is having only 99 accounts....when i add 101 useraccount with "useradd" then /etc/passwd has 101 accounts and /etc/passwd is having the 100th account of /etc/passwd - ..when i delete /etc/passwd and recover it with /etc/passwd - from runlevel 1 the lastly created user is not having his account after recovery.. what is the solution? this is same case even with /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow -

Jan 19, 2011I need to either locate a script that is similar to what I am needing or figure out a better way of doing what I need. I have mutiple shops with AIX unix servers, using ksh with virtual terminals that connect. since these are on an internal network we have them connecting to the server as either usr01, usr02, etc. what I need to do is add 15 user's ranging from usr01-usr15 into /etc/passwd each usr is identical in such that each line contains
Code:
usr01::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh
only difference is the usr# changes. I wrote a script where I was just adding these all to the /etc/passwd but now I have been tasked with adding them to these shops but with out any duplicates. is there any way to have a script check the file to see if the usr# exists and if so proceed to the next number and then input the usr#::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh into the file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Deleted File Stripes / Log Into A Passwd Less Acct?
Jul 2, 2010I work for a seismic company that has recently experienced a security issue. Because we have an isolated network that is used for HPC work we have a very open security structue ie password less accounts rsh rlogin etc. We had, seemingly,a user that has maliciously deleted another user's files but I still haven't figured out how. So far I have been able to prove that this user has remotely logged into another host under that user's account... or at least that their workstation did. The /var/log/message file shows logins from their workstation as that user multiple times durring the times that these files were being deleted. There are wildcard searches for these files in the history in this host. There is a vi session initiated on this host for a file called delme (delete me) and then a chmod +x for this file. and then a deletion of this file (rm delme). Funny things: this user has no business in this acct. this user was bounced off the other host (permission denied) when trying to log into the other host and then as root logged into the other host as the other acct. repeatedly... ie. rsh -l xxx (permis den) then as root rsh -l xxx (logged in) why not su xxx and then rsh? password less acct?! why use root privs (which they sholuld not have) to log into a passwd less acct? Can't see any remote logins to their workstation from elsewhere. can't find smoking gun. no execution of delme script or any other rm /*/xxx/* sort of command that proves when file deletion of striped files happened?!
changing root passwd soon.need proof that no remote logins to a CentOS 5.3 workstation could be responsible.
Could mean someone gets fired.how can I be sure that no other users logged into this machine and then into another machine for sure?

Ubuntu Networking :: File 'path Omyfile' Has Been Changed On The File System?
May 28, 2010I have asked this over on Launchpad and have found bugs filed on the eclipse bug tracker but it seems to be going nowhere so I guess ill ask here.
I am using Eclipse for some development work and having saved a file, defocus the eclipse window (to test changes in a browser) when I refocus the eclipse window I get the following error...
The file 'path omyfile' has been changed on the file system.Do you want to replace the editor contents with these changes?
I have searched and searched and this seems to be a CIFS/SAMBA problem. I even found one solution suggesting that changing his mounts from cifs to smbfs fixed his problem however that would appear not to be an option for me since using smbfs in the fstab causes cifs mounts. This problem would seem to occur in Bluefish as well as some other IDE's so it is not an Eclipse issue.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Inspect And Evaluate The Mbr On A Disk?
Aug 5, 2011How can i inspect and evaluate the mbr on a disk in a computer?
I'm interested in how to do this in general.
I can use gparted to see the partitions on a disk, but i don't know how to use it, or any other tool, to see just what is in the mbr.
The particular situation i'm in is that i have two disks in my computer. One has ubuntu 10.10 on a single partition, and one has 11.04 on one of 4 partitions.
The 11.04 disk used to be bootable, but somehow i messed up the disk: longer story: i installed another os on another partition, and the other os redid the mbr and installed a different version of grub, and i tried to reinstall grub but ended up with a disk that wouldn't boot. So i put my old 10.10 disk back into the machine so that i could at least boot and look around on the 11.04 disk.
Now, there are probably ways that i could recover the 11.04, but i would like very much to be able to systematically analyze the 11.04 disk to determine its exact current state before modifying it.
Since the disk is not mounted it seems like this should be in reach: i want to be able to (a) capture the mbr from the 11.04 disk [into, say, a file on the 10.10 disk] (b) get an analysis of what the mbr would do (where it points to etc, and what is at where it points to) (c) get any high level information which can easily be determined from (a) and (b).
General :: Evaluate Size Of Output Command?
Nov 18, 2010I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cmd1=$(cat /var/log/messages | grep -e 'blocked for more than 120 seconds' | cut -c 55-62)
if $cmd1 != 0; then echo 'okay'; fi
however i'm messing up somewhere... bash attempts to evaluate the elements in cmd1. when I try to run this script it complains saying:
Quote:
test1.sh: line 5: blocked: command not found
I am open to alternatives. My intent is to replace cat /var/log/messages with dmesg, so I can attempt to determine if a problematic application I use encounters a blocked state (unresponsive for more than 120 seconds).
Should I be using a different test condition? I tried something like:
Code:
# this declares cmd1 as an array
cmd1=($(cat /var/log/messages | grep -e 'blocked for more than 120 seconds' | cut -c 55-62))
#attempt to determine if number of elements in array is greater than zero
if ${#cmd1[@]} > 0; then echo okay; fi
But I get the same error... what am I doing wrong?

Fedora Installation :: Evaluate The Checksum - Burned A CD With The Disc1.iso

Figuring there was a problem with the way I was trying to evaluate the checksum I burned a CD with the disc1.iso. I received a "INSERT A BOOT DISK" error from my machine. I then tried downloading the disc1.iso again and ran checksum on my newly downloaded file and get the same checksum on both the old and new disc1.iso files.
When I run:
I get the response:
It seems to me the checksum value should be:
What am I doing wrong? I've installed many different distros in the past and am pretty sure I burned the iso file not just copied it to the CD.
OpenSUSE Network :: Using Nessus To Evaluate Security Of Web Server?

Is there anywhere I can check to see if it's being caught in a firewall, or where I can see if the connection is even making it to the server..
