I have an app (a game, actually) that's sitting in a subdirectory in my /home/user and I was wondering how I could set it up so that I could run it directly without having to go into its directory. (ie: putting it in the path)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have program (command line) that requires another program be installed and in its path. So I downloaded the file (.tgz), and extracted. I followed the compile and make instructions and ended up with a folder on my desktop that contains the excutable but is not in the path of the the other program. How can I do this..I think that I have about 20 more .tgz files to do this with.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
Where do I make the necessary change?
Where is the universal PATH variable set/exported in Karmic?It is not exported from the normal place (/etc/profile). I can't find where it is set. I tried Code:find /etc/* | xargs grep "export PATH=" and it did not reveal the magic place.

I've been looking around the net for executing a shell script. My basic understanding is that after setting executable permissions and providing a path (#!/bin/sh) in the first line of the script, I can type ./myscript to execute instead of sh myscript. This is not working for me. I can run "sh myscript" but not "./myscript" even though I know for sure I have across the board execute permission and my sh path is correct. I'm working on a redhat linux station.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there is a fairly easy "How To" for setting up my home network. I have 2 XP SP3 computers and 2 Linux with ver. 9.10.

1. I dont undestand what "if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -qE "(^|:)$1($|:)"" this if statement actually comapres??
2. Also what is the difference between PATH=$PATH:$1 & PATH=$1:$PATH
I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.
Java applet not loading image with relative path(e.g. images/1.jpg) but loads image with absolute path(i.e. from /root/user/images/1.jpg) . This is a problem when i want to host the applet on web server
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
Does anyone know how to get the path with a inode number by C programming?
Or can I get the absolute path without giving a "path" but a inode number by C?
like this: get_path(unsigned inode);
not such this function: getcwd(".", xxx);

running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.
1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)
2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?
Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:
Searching for GCC...
The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?

As you can see, /usr/local/bin is in the path. However, bash does not look for nasm in /usr/local/bin.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've read one explanation saying it can allow malicious executables that are in the cwd to run in place of similarly named built-ins and core utilities.For something to wreak true havoc, wouldn't this only apply to root? And in any case, if '.' were appended to PATH instead of prepended, shouldn't that circumvent this "replacement" attack, since PATH's directories are scanned in order? (Aren't they scanned in order?)Are there any other issues besides this one?
