Aug 19, 2011Let's get clear with all bin and sbin folders(from filesystem hierarchy standard):
So the question is: Why there are so many directories and what are the meanings of /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin?
Many programs are distributed through archives and we have to build them from source code. Usually they have makefile so it's quite easy. This process involves creating files in usr/local/lib, usr/local/bin... usr/local/whatever without creating specific folders for a given program.
I think it's not right because if we need to remove the program we have to manually delete every of its files if the program's creator didn't take care of it.

View 10 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Bash Aliases For Root - Where They Are Defined
Sep 26, 2010Output of my #alias command looks just as normal as one would expect:
Code:
alias +='pushd .'
alias -='popd'
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..' .....
And still whenever I (as root) type in bash
#ll
which would be short for
#ls- l
i get output of the command
#ls -al
So where aliases for root overwritten? Usually I would expect .bashrc in the /root directory. Or at least .alias file. But there none of those in my current /root. So, my question is where root user gets it's aliases from? This concerns only root user. Normal user has .bashrc and I made up my own aliases in .alias and that's works jut fine. And yes I could make .bashrc file in the /root and .aliases where I would define my own things.

General :: Bash Script For Doing Tape Backups - Need Root Password
Feb 14, 2011I have a bash script that I am using for doing tape backups. The meat of the bash script is
sudo tar --totals -H pax -cvf /dev/st0 *
This all works just fine.
But of course tape functions have to be ran as root, therefore sudo, requiring the standard user to enter the root password. I would like to be in a situation where the standard user does not need (does not know) the root password. I think my solution is add that standard user.
User named dog to the sudo list.
I have reviewed the sudo man page and looked at [URL]. I am still fuzzy.
1- Will adding user 'dog' to this sudo list do what I expect meaning I can run:
sudo tar --totals -H pax -cvf /dev/st0 *
and the user is not queried for the root password
2- How do I do that? and do I make a cmd alais for only: "tar --totals -H pax -cvf /dev/st0 *"
My distro is OpenSuse.

Is there a way that I can pass this PS1 variable between accounts so the prompt is the same?
I have tried printing it out, copying the output, and then reassigning it to PS1 on the new account, but it just doesn't work.
Here is what is printed when I type echo $PS1:

View 7 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Change Running Path In Bash
Feb 5, 2010We have a custom app that runs on boot on some older hardware running DSL linux, and their startup manager was quite simple. We purchased some newer Asus eeebox's which run xandros and things are quite stable and run nice with 1 exception.The application only runs from the root (/) location. This box auto logs in as 'user' and there is a /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder where you can stick scripts to run at boot. So I have a start.sh script, and with little bash programming tried things such as;
sudo cd /
sudo /startapp.pl
but the errors start spewing with the basic;can't find data/xyz as it's looking in the local.I thought there was a basic cwd (change working directory) but everything I try just forces the run from that location.Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, but things like can you change the code, etc. can't be done, so it must be a programming thing. The only other thought I had but not sure, can you do a cronjob with @boot or something, that when the box starts, it can run this job as root and fire off?

Fedora :: BASH :: Change File Stat In Sub Directory?
Oct 23, 2010So I have created a Bash script with the intent of the program to change the names of the files in a folder's subdirectory.The code recognises the individual subdirectories, then is able to enter into one and list the files individually, but when it tries to change their information it says;' cannot stat ' : ' No such file or directory 'As if it is looking in the directory that contains the Bash script, not its subdirectory.It is essentially saying, I see a file here called FILE but sorry, I can't change FILE because FILE doesn't exist. kweh?Is this something outside the capabilities of Bash? Am I asking too much of it? Can Bash only manipulate files that are in the same folder as the script?
