On my RHEL5 system one of my key file in one specific directory gets deleted when I start my application suite (having multiple processes). Is there some way to narrow down which specific process is deleting this file?
View 8 RepliesI've just started using ubuntu one. However, some of the files I store on there are sensitive so I encrypt them using seahorse. Right click, encrypt etc etc. My question is, is there a way to automatically get the encrypt process to delete the un-encrypted file when it makes the new encrypted copy?

Note: produkt.fil exists in all of the folders always.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to run a "Garry's Mod" game server on my dedicated server. I'm using a very helpful tutorial on the Gmod wiki (I cannot post a link to it as I don't have 15 posts or more ).
Now I have very, very little experience with Linux (I am running Debian on it). However, I've gotten quite far in the tutorial, and everything looks to be perfect. I am using putty to access my server, but I also have FTP on it.
Basically, when I need to access a certain folder called "orangebox" (using cd orangebox), an error comes up saying this:-bash: cd: orangebox: No such file or directory.
However, I know that there is such a folder, as I can see it fine on FTP.
I need to locate a file in my system having to do with backing up the hard drive. I have the file name, but where do I place it to find the appropriate file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have some very confidental files on my computer that I store such as credit reports, and other things. I always encrypt them with GPG, but there still is that original non-encrypted file left that needs to be deleted. I looked into tools like wipe, and shred but they all say that it really doesn't help on journaling filesystems directly on their man page.
I am not asking how to wipe the whole drive with dd or anything, but I am simply asking if there is a tool that'll delete a single file securely.
This one being Ubuntu 9.10 (yes, I know I really should upgrade). I keep a number of confidential files in a TrueCrypt container which is a standalone file in my Documents folder. I'd like to delete some of these, but I want to do it as securely as I can, but I believe if I simply hit 'Delete' with the file selected it'll move the file to the Deleted Items folder. This, I assume, means that the file is taken out of the encrypted volume and stored unencrypted in the Deleted folder.
I've been reading a little about the Shred command, and there seems to be some question about whether it works effectively with a journalled file system; and since I have no idea whether I'm using a journalled file system, or how to find out, I'm treating Shred and other over-writing secure deletion tools as ineffective for now.
With this in mind, can anyone advise me how I can protect the file stored in the TrueCrypt volume, and delete it in place, without taking it out of the encrypted area? And, further to that, can anyone tell me whether in fact the file is actually secured while it's in the encrypted volume? For all I know, just opening the volume may result in copies being made somewhere (apart from RAM).
How do i delete a specific string in vi? Suppose i want to delete only the instance "ing" occuring in a file through vi , how could i do this??
View 3 Replies View RelatedThese must a be a question you received a lot, but I couldn't find a similar thread! It's a simple question.
I need to delete a specific string from a file. For example the specific numbers "3456" from a file. I've tried with the tr comand, using
Code:
tr -d '3456' file,
but it also deleted whichever ocurrence of 3,4,5,6 from my file. Should I use a regular expression?
I've got a problem with my evolution here at work, which is running on a vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 install. Yesterday we received an email from a supplier with some tiff attachments. When this email is clicked on it freezes Evolution. The further problem is that I can't even browse into the inbox folder where it is since that email is the last thing that was highlighted. What is the best method for removing a single email from the Inbox? I thought about into the .evolution/mail folder, but I wasn't sure which files to modify to solve the problem.

I want to be able to tell processes/programs somehow to use a specific nic. I have a laptop (used as dekstop) and want to make pidgin use my wireless. I have a gigabit wired connection and a wireless connection. I want to force pidgin to use the wireless connection. But more specifically, I just want to block pidgin from using eth0... how to go about that? I can't find anything that will block applications... I could block outside servers from communicating with eth0, but I don't want to do that.

Definitely can't double click it, or right-click to delete or simply delete. It just freezes. I can't see any of the text of the email, but I can see that there is a .tiff attachment.I've poked around in the .evolution/ folders and can'tfind the right thing to delete to get rid of this specific email

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat i want to do is pretty simple.I want to uncomment every line that begins with "deb" (except for deb cdrom) in /etc/apt/sources.list.I know how to do this through system > administration > software sources.I know I can gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.I'd rather not do it that way.I'd rather have a script do it. It's less work, less typing, less clicking, and would work the same on every ubuntu version.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to bind specific programs to specific network devices (not IPs, since I have dynamic IPs)?
For example, I wish for irssi to route through eth0 and w3m to route through eth1. Keep in mind these devices have dynamic IPs, so I cannot attached them to an IP.
The solution cannot be accomplished through route since route pivots on IPs not devices.
