I use U.10.4. I have to take over the work of another, but all I have is the Hard Drive from that machine. Because the two positions are separate, I do not want to Import his Evolution over my own - but, I do want to be able to access it from my machine. Can my Evolution refer to the old hard drive (now in a caddy and non-bootable) for the Evolution account data that is there, while still being able to switch back to my own Evolution data on demand. E.G. in Windows the equivalent would be the way that Outlook can refer to different .pst files at loading. Alternatively, can I make the external USB drive (previously a running main HDD) bootable without losing all of the data?

I am setting up a cron job, where i am calling a shell script to make few builds. I got struck at a point, need some expert inputs to proceed further. The script is categorized in 5 parts and in the last part while building software it asks for few questions like:-
1. Build mode choice
2. normal build
3. Copy Images
4. Arch
User manually has to input ans for these questions:-
1
yes
n
64
The ans's are fixed and this won't change. How shall i hard-code them or do something in the script so as when script flow reaches to this point it automatically take's these value. So far the cron job is not getting completed as it's waiting for user to key in these values manually. I had faced similar issue while building kernel modules but there it was easier as i had to take default values always:-
# variable declaration
stt=10
enn=20
stp=1
# I want to do it in the following structure but not sure how to call # the stt, enn and stp in a for loop
for (( i = $stt; i -le $enn; i=i + $stp ))
do
blah blah
done

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a file called a.sql which I need to execute in a database and the script I am calling in a shell script .Before executing the script I have to change a value in the script according to the user input.How can I do this .
Eg...
A.sql file contains an sql query like this:
And My shll script is like this:
When executed the script it asks for enter salary and if the user has input 5000 then the Enter_salary value in a.sql must be replaced by 5000.
I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?
I'm running a java app when my specific user (not root) login. It's running fine.The problem is that profile.local are calling my app twice ... The first call, it's blocking Linux environment until I close java app. After that, occurs the second call, then it's free Linux for usage.I tried to change my java app for gedit, and I can see the problem too.I tried with profile.local and /home/<my user>/.profile, the result is the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to call a specific variable based on a user selection. For example:
Code: Select a file:
[1] foo.tar
[2] bar.tar
Enter a selection: I have already coded each possible selection to have its own variable. If the user selects 2 I need to select $SELECTED_TAR2, or if they select 1 I need to select $SELECTED_TAR1 and then do something like this behind the scenes:

I want to try out KDE on Lucid, but I don't want to install KDE on top of ubuntu, because I will end up with two sets of applications and software that is gnome specific to load in the KDE environment.SOOOOO, I want to create a separate user that is only KDE and a user(my current one) that is only gnome. Different names, different environments and applications.
Also, if it is possible, I will need instructions to remove a user as well, so in the future I decide which one I like better, I can delete the other user account.

I am experiencing some weirdo problem since some time. I don't use this machine often, so I cannot trace since when the problem is there. Problem: In Firefox. Description: When a download is completed, it shows up in Downloads window. When I ask "open containing folder", it will:
-first display a warning: "This is not a CVS folder. If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror." -will open Cervisia.And how do I perform this "switch view modes" within Konqueror? I looked into Yast, and there is no way of removing cervisia, as it does not show up (but cervisia-kde4 does show up in the list, but it is not installed). I have no use of Cervisia, by the way.
I am on KDE 3.5, on openSUSE 11.1 x64. Firefox 3.6. I do have an install of KDE4 on this machine, but never use it. I followed the advice in here. First I had Nautilus as a file manager in Firefox, then some unknown one, then (following these advices) a very minimalist thing. But I still have this Cervisia critter. The problem is likely related to KDE/Konqueror, since I tried in Gnome, and it gave me no problem (it opened Nautilus instead of Cervisia).
I am trying to setup 2 individual FTP users. They should both have access to the same directory. They both need to be able to read/write into the directory. But, I want them not to be able to write to each other's files (e.g. delete, remove, rename, etc.).
So let's say the shared directory is: /home/ftp/shared/
UserA needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserA should only have write access to his own files. UserB also needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserB should only have write access to his own files.
It would be a unix box of sorts, but that is the only restriction. I could use whatever software. I am currently thinking pure-ftpd or vsftp but I am open to all ideas.
I am writing device driver in which i have to call callback function from kernel space, which are saving my data. But the callback functions are in userspace. While accessing them i am getting segmentation fault.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I implement this: I encrypt a partition using LUKS, and store personal data on this partition. Then create a user account that solely deals with this partition and insulated from the Internet. Normally for each boot I do not even need to mount the LUKS encrypted partition, and when I mount that partition under that special user account, I can make sure that the Internet is cut off.
I'm going to do the installation these days, could you provide a brief sketch regarding what steps I should go through to implement the above result?

I want to jail Skype into its own process and not the one I login with. That way, if a hacker breaks in, it's limited to this process and only the limited functionality that that user account has. The thing is this -- thousands of Linux guys run Skype, but Skype is hardly ever updated or have security patches, and we run it all the time. It seems like an easy avenue for an exploit. As well, my iptables firew all blocks input connections that I have not established, but Skype is an established connection. How do I create a Bash script that launches Skype under a separate user account?

I use DeVeDe a lot, and it works great for general conversion and DVD authoring. I don't know, however, how to create a DVD such that each of the original .avi files will be their own chapters. In other words, I have about six or seven .avi files (episodes of a season of a television show) and I want to create a DVD with those episodes that I can navigate separately. Do I first convert each .avi? How then do I create a single DVD with six or seven chapters/episodes?
