Software :: Start An App And Make It Run From It's Own Directory?
Jun 25, 2010
For any custom application I create which needs to run at startup, what I normally do is have an entry in my /etc/init.local that executes the app.Now if I just putCode:/data/app/prod/start And the app writes data to relative paths, it will be writing data all over the system. Is there a method of starting a script so it is aware of the folder it is in? Sure I can do "cd [folder]" then start the app, but wondering if there's a better way.

I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].

I have a mysql database and i use it with apache for my webpages. And I guess it dosen't start when the computer starts so I have to manually start it with "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" This returns fail so i went to '/var/run/mysqld/' and the folder was empty. I don't know if this is the problem or not. How can I fix this?

I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !
DHCPD.CONF
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
[code].....

I have a partition for all my data (mounted on /mnt/data) and I want to point my /home/<username>/Pictures folder to /mnt/data/Pictures. I.e. I want to point a folder to another folder.This isn't possible with fstab as I've understood, since that's about mounting volumes. I guess the mount command can be used, but I'd like to mount the directory permanently and I'm not aware of if that's possible with the mount command. Maybe a soft link can be a solution, but that doesn't feel like a "clean" solution. Then I have to enter the /home/<username>/Pictures directory and then click the soft link?

I am having troubles starting superPI benchmark test on Linux. I have it in a file named 'super pi' so ./super_pi doesn't work. I can't figure it out how to do it. In cmd(Win) I would do it like this
cd C:/super pi/
super_pi
If the file would be located in C:/super pi/ The problem is I somehow can't tell the path to the file.

I type in /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
And I receive bash: /etc/init.d/hostname.sh: No such file directory
For hostname I've use "hostname" and my actual hostname, and both receive the same error.
Although when I do hostname is shows the correct hostname but without the the comcast part of it , and when I type in hostname -f, I get the correct hostname with the comcast part of it.

I have a dual boot with ubuntu 10.04 (ext4) and ubuntu 9.04 (ext3).On 10.04 I accidentally deleted a whole bunch of files with the rm command. I installed extundelete in 9.04 which can undelete from ext4 file systems. However, I can't access my 10.04 home directory in 9.04, as /media/disk/home/asdf is empty except for two files README.txt and Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop. I didn't delete all of it for sure.
Does anyone know how to make my 10.04 home directory visible in 9.04 so I can undelete?

I would like to make a backup of my /home directory onto a NAS device, and have whatever software is used for the purpose update (new and changed files) every night, or perhaps everytime there is a period of inactivity. Any suggestions for a GUI package that will do this?
I do not want a complete backup each time, just the new or changed files. Also prefer software that backs up to a mirror of the original (i.e., uncompressed folders and files)

I have this directory with multiple images 'pics' and the size is 20mb and I want to make a .zip or .rar package of this directory but with an increased size so the .zip/.rar file will be 100mb, and then when you extract it the file size is the original 20mb. I want to make the result file bigger, no compress it. I need to put all the directory in one single file .zip or .rar but it has to weight more (100mb), maybe it can be done with another application. By the way, I have a centos 5 from command line.

Is there a way to force rsync to not make directories in its destination directory; ie, to simply dump all of the files from the source directory directly into the destination without copying any of the folders that the files were originally in? I tried --no-dirs, but that seems to only be for empty directories.

When I haven't run yum for a little awhile, it's slow to start up because it goes through all the progress bars of downloading from different repositories. specially, just now updates/primary_db had to download 5.5MB.
Is there some way to automate this so it happens in the background and not when starting up?

I urgently need expert assistance. During a cold-start reboot, something corrupted my / directory making it impossible to access much of anything. I was able to log into a recovery console and do "ls /" which shows most of the critical directories although "media" is missing. However attempting to "ls /home" gets the "no such file or directory" error message, as do attempts to ls most of the others. Doing "ls -l /" gets one item listed, followed by a single record out of /var/log/syslog, then nothing at all.
Attempting a normal login (I've disabled the quiet and splash options, so I see all the startup messages) gets to doing fsck on the swap partition, and that stalls out at 14% complete. The fsck on the root partition completed okay, apparently. This machine is my router, firewall, FTP server, and also hosts VirtualBox VMs that contain all of my customer support tools. The VMs themselves are partially backed up on another box, fortunately, but it took me a couple of months to get the failed box configured properly so if possible I need to recover it. For lack of space, I've never been able to do a full backup of it -- and permissions have foiled portions of all my other backup attempts on it.
Complicating matters is the fact that I have a moderately large data recovery job scheduled to arrive this evening (July 3) to be done while the customer's business is shut down for the holiday. Without the FTP server I'm unable to receive the files, which will total from 100 to 200 MB in all. Is it likely that testdisk may be able to rebuild the borked main root directory, if run from a live CD? The system is Hardy LTS 8.04.4, with 3 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SATA drive. I'm posting this from my WinXP laptop, which doesn't get along with my LAN so connects from a different router than the one that's down.

I am planning to build a server in future. That will be a computer with GNU. It will be a router and file server. It will get the VPN-Internet and share it with all the PCs connected to LAN. There will be Samba for file sharing. And I'm thinking that if I just share some directory on that server with Samba, it will be possible to get access to that dir from VPN. So it's not very safe to do that. Is it possible to prevent access to Samba dir from VPN connection?

I am working on a bash script which among its operations creates directories using the mkdir command. However, when the directory already exists mkdir mentions that in the command line output.
Is there any way I can make mkdir silently overwrite any existent directory? (no messages in the output). For the same price, could it be done with other commands such as cp or mv?
