I'm trying to trim down Linux so that it fits on an appliance, and noticed that some related files in /bin have the exact same size:
Code:
Are those file duplicates, or are they just hard-linked, ie. there's really only one file in the flash memory but it looks like there are more than one? How can make sure?
I've got a shared (Windows/multiuser Linux) laptop, and I've got installed World of Warcraft and some steam games in Windows. With steam games, there is (almost) no problems. I've installed steam in Linux, and soft linked the 'steamapps' directory (per-game compatibility is another issue). With WoW, the problem is different. I would like to have almost (but not) all files. Under World of Warcraft, every file and directory must be linked except the Interface directory and WTF/config.wtf file (so every user can play with their own settings and addons). How can I have a mix of linked and not linked files without linking every file? If I link manually every file/dir, when updating from Linux other users and Windows Wow is not updated; when updating from Windows, new files remains "unlinked".
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find a way to do this, so maybe it's not actually possible, but I was wondering if there was a way to list all files that link to a file.
For example.
touch a
ln a b
ln a c
I want to find out what files link to a (not symlinks, mind you), assuming that this is more complicated (they are spread around to different directories).
I kind of understand about the filesystem storing links in one area and data in another, so I understand it probably takes more work to find a link from a file location than the other way around.
How can I find a list of files that are named duplicates i.e. have same name but in different case that exist in the same directory?

I'm using Opensuse11.4 and have kmail and Firefox. When I click a url: link in kmail it opens a new tab in Firefox. The problem is that the url is linked to my temp cache files as this file:///var/tmp/kdecache-terry/krun/1589.0.ctt
The tab this opens has most of the link icons stripped out and the links to other parts of the website don't work and I get a "file not found" error and the link is to a file which doesn't exist file:///contribute.php3
This is only a minor annoyance as I can right click > copy the url and paste it to the address bar in Firefox then it works ok. I don't think it anything in either programme that's broken because this happened after an update to Opensuse 11.4 on my previous laptop and has happened again on my new laptop with a fresh install.

Although having used Ubuntu for a good couple of years, I'm still a total beginner when it comes to scripting. However, what I need to do should be fairly straightforward:
Importing images from my digital camera, both RAW "originals" and JPG "copies" end up in the same folder. I typically flip through the JPG:s in Image Viewer and remove those that I'm not interested in. Now, this leaves me with the tedious job of going though all the RAW files in the folder manually to get rid of those too! It sure would be wonderful to get Ubuntu to do the work for me...
The script would simply need to go though all the RAW files in a folder one by one, check for a corresponding JPG file - and if there isn't one, remove the RAW file. How could I accomplish that?
I have a text file which is a list of all my contacts. So far i have only found software and commands which remove duplicates but i would like to remove all duplicates AND their original entries too so only contacts which have no duplicates are left.

I'm having issues setting up rsyslog to receive syslog from another server and only log to one file. I'm receiving the syslog from the remote side, however its putting the entries into more than one log file.
I configured /etc/rsyslog.conf to enable udp, and I have implemented a filter to log only from that IP address, and then stop processing more rules, but it seems to continue on.
I have found that the remote syslog events are using local0 and local1. There are two custom rsyslog config files in /etc/rsyslog.d that handle those two facilities. If I use that same if statement at the beginning of those custom config files, I can get it to work. Seems like a hack though.
Not working:
I put my if statement before the include statement, thinking I could stop it from hitting the custom rules.
Code:
Select all# /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog v3.

I am hoping someone already has a script or knows of an app that will let me do this fairly easily - I have a fairly large folder structure that goes several levels deep, etc. In many cases there are duplicate file names that are not really different, e.g.,
/home/chris/folder/folder1/doc1.doc
/home/chris/folder/folder2/folder3/doc1.doc
I want to recursively go through /home/chris/folder and move everything to /home/chris/another_location/ without subfolders and renaming duplicates as appropriate, e.g.,
/home/chris/another_location/doc1.doc
/home/chris/another_location/doc1_1.doc

I've tried using a script to run incremental backups. The idea was to use the update switch to just update the files in the .tar instead of creating new ones. However it seems to have created duplicate files in the tar instead of just updating them (refer to screenshot). Is this normal?
Here is the command in the script;
Code:
tar -uvpf /home/jonny/.BackUps/Updating/Documents.tar /home/jonny/Documents
Is there a way stop this but still have them update to the latest version?

My question is how does cd understand relative paths and not return an error the way ls does?
