View 1 RepliesI am planning on running a script once every five minutes, and the syntax that comes to mind in doing this is the following:
Code:
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 * * * * /apps/<script>.pl
Is there a better syntax to use to accomplish this task, or is the above example the way to go?
I have an ubuntu 10.10 server and want to run a script on it to check if a process is running. If it is not running, it will start the process and also write into a log file.
When running the script i get the following error message:
syntax error near unexpected token `else'
Here is my script.
First, I'm trying to cross compile mono 2.6.4 so that it will run on Freescale Embedded Linux for a PowerPC CPU. My host machine is running Fedora 13 on an x86. Freescale provides a copy of the Linux Target Image Builder (LTIB) that has been pre-configured for the particular board I'm using, and LTIB seems to be able to help with the cross compilation of other stuff--you can add in your own packages to be built and included in your newly-built Linux image.
Mono depends on pkg-config and glib-2, so I have selected them in the LTIB package selection config. I've also added a new package for mono that builds mono-2.6.4 from the source tar (after the other deps have also been built).
I'm having a problem getting the glib-2.24.0 package libraries created. Basically they appear to build and link ok, but then libtool runs and errors out claiming it has a syntax error! (numerous wths followed...)
Here is LTIB's temporary build script for only the glib2 package:
Code:
Here is the output when building the glib2 package (configure + make):
Code:
Build path taken because: directory build, build key set, no prebuilt rpm,
I'm trying to use emacs in the auctex mode. But Flymake complains about something I could not understand. This is the error it shows whenever I open a tex file.
Code:
Flymake:Configuration error has occured while running (texify --pdf --tex-option=-c-style-errors PATH_TO_FILE_DIRECTORY/FILE_flymake.tex).
Flymake will be switched OFF.
I have texify installed on my system. I also tried suggestions in the emacs wiki on FlymakeTex, added the following lines in my .emacs file:
Code:
(defun flymake-get-tex-args (file-name)
(list "pdflatex" (list "-file-line-error" "-draftmode"
"-interaction=nonstopmode" file-name)))
How do I stop this msg and use flymake.
When ever i open vim, i get the error that the following error: E484: Can't open file/abcd/configFiles/vim/syntax/syntax.vim There was a .vimrc file in my home folder that i have removed.
Still i keep getting the same error. Presently in my home folder there is no .gvimrc or .vimrc file.
But still i keep getting the same error. I am not too sure where this file is mentioned.
Background info: The SHELL has been changed from tcsh to bash Earlier i had created a .vimrc file in tcsh, i have removed the .vimrc in bash SHELL.
I am running a shell script from a rc file in Linux. The shell script is going into a loop which runs for 8 hours. Now I want to prevent the shell script from running when Linux boots or I need to find a way to kill the shell script when it is running. I tried using killall, kill $! and Ctrl+C etc. Nothing seems to work. Can you suggest a way out. I am new to Linux.

I have been trying to figure out how to automatically run terminal commands on login. For example, I want to run Firefox on login. When I run 'firefox' in terminal, it opens. This is what I tried:I went to System > Preference > Startup Applications and clicked on 'Add'. I gave it a name, typed 'firefox' into the command field and left the comment blank and added it to the list, making sure that the box was checked.

My problem is that whenever I want to execute a command I get an error which says "Invalid argument". Maybe I should explain more what I want to do and what I did.Firstly I installed a software which I need to run, I did it through ThinLink, and it seems that it is running fine without a problems. I can execute all commands and scripts. Installed software contains tens of small programs. I have compiled it and assign the PATH to be able to use the software. This was still via ThinLink. Then I wanted to start to use SSH since it should be more secure and also faster for me. When I wanted to do same think as in ThinLink I got the message Invalid argument. For example I run a command which use program gensky. I wrote:
Code: gray1(dava) $ gensky 4 4 4
I got:
Code: -bash: ............/Radiance_install/bin/gensky: Invalid argument (i replaced the path to my home directory by dots) The PATH to the program seams correct but it does not run correctly. With SSH I can log into the remote machine and see all the files which I have on the disk as well as to run standard commands like mkdir etc. But I cannot run the programs which I installed.
I would be running SQL commands (UPDATE/SELECT) from within my bash script. I am completely new to this subject. Is MYSQL used for this purpose? Alternatively, what is sqlplus?
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently I gained interest in running command from the terminal, like rhythmbox-client --play-pause and vlc --open, but I could not find the vlc's pause command under vlc. there's a way I can have a terminal display the commands that run when I do some action. For example, when I click on pause in vlc, the terminal should show me what command it used to pause vlc. What's the closest ting I can get to this?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat i want to do is run two commands (nautilus and gedit) from the command line/shell script at the same time. i can obviously do && between them, but this requires the first app to close before moving on to the second one. i want to run both apps at the same time so i can run gedit with some project files open on it, and nautilus to browse those files/other files.

Now, I want to be able to run a chain of commands on that router the problem is that I can't send them separated with ; cause the router doesn't understand the separation, so I have to send the "<enter>" keys somehow. I tried to do it like this:
( echo ping localhost; echo ping localhost; ) | ssh -i blah user@router
The connection is established, but it gets broken after login and no command is executed. Is there a way I could tell ssh to read a text file where the chain of commands is?
attempt to start luckybackup produces the following error:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
Feb 11 09:54:15 linux-x205 kernel: [ 5333.863607] luckybackup[7832]: segfault at 400000001 ip 00007f29e16ed6b2 sp 00007fff84b60df0 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.5.3[7f29e15a5000+22c000]
I've removed, then reinstalled.. no improvement (program worked great until about two days ago. Only change had been a routine update that included a kernel update to 2.6.31.8-0.1-default x86-64)
After I installed luckyBackup, two icons were added to the 'More applications' window. The first one launches luckyBackup and works fine. The second one is called 'luckyBackup (super user mode' and is supposed to launch luckyBackup with root privileges. However nothing happens when I click on it. I see that the associated command is 'su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/luckyBackup'. Typing that command in a shell results in an error as su-to-root does not exist. So... is this syntax ('su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/luckyBackup') supposed to work, or shall I edit it (how?) in order to be able to launch the application as root?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use two separate systems both running Debian 8. On one (my main) I can't do some commands including ping, shutdown and reboot without running them as root user, however on my other system I can ping and reboot as a non-privileged user. The permissions on both systems are the same for /bin/ping and /sbin/systemctl (reboot). I thought at first it was something to do with what groups my main was in, but that doesn't seem to be the gase.
I know I can fix it by setting setuid for both, but my question is why is it different on both machines? Is there a global setting controlling this in /etc or perhaps an icmp setting?
Having recovered from busting my installation, feel urgent need to know what I did to set it up.So...would like to see all commands I ran in terminal window and store them (execute as script in future?)I can see prior commands using up arrow, is there a way of storing all of those commands in history?Also, any pointers to setting up sort of backup of the package installation setup?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently hired a new tech guy to start managing our servers. In doing this I went ahead and upgraded all the servers. It has been awhile now since I sent him the details of the new server and the last time I talked to him he was joking around with one of the other clients not realizing how long it took.
I know on other server moves, my old guy could have everything setup and running in a couple days as a good amount of time is waiting for the data to copy over. I am starting to wonder if this guy is going to try and throw a huge bill at me, so I would like to know what hes doing on the server with time stamps just so I can get a idea of how much time he has been logged into the server. Does this server OS have anything like this built in?

My problem now is that I need to have a script that she can run if she wants to log in. She will have to invoke a couple of root commands and I do not want to give her the root password What she needs to do to set up networking is:

I have the following cron configuration in the 'crontab' file:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=<--- REMOVED -->
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
20 16 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
07 30 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
11 30 * * 1-5 root wget [URL]
My focus is on the three WGET commands. The problem is the first one works fine, runs at 4:20 p.m., but the other two never run! If I visit [URL] it works fine but cron never runs it.
I've found myself using the -v flag for lots of applications less and less (especially for trivial stuff like tar and cp). However, when I did and I was, say, unzipping a large file, it would take longer than when I didn't use the -v flag.I assume this is because the terminal has to process the text and I'm filling up whatever buffer it might have. But my question is, does this make the application actually run slower or does it complete in the same amount of time and what I'm seeing is the terminal trying to catch up?
