I want to write a script that would monitor a folder. Everytime a file is dumped in that folder the script would send it to the proper location.
Example
123.mp3 --> music
something.avi --> movies
and so on , now is there a way to that without running a script in cron or running a loop that activates every 5 seconds or so ??
There are lots of tutorials and opinions on file permissions and web hosting.
So lets say I wanted to allow write permissions to the /var/www folder.
which would be best practice?
Chown -R user... allow a specific user to have write capabailities.
use gksudo nautilus (unsure what this does)
or open the folder to all parties.
If anyone has any opinions on file permissions in general or web hosting security then feel free to throw them at me.
There are a few PCs on the network that lose network connection every so often -- sometimes these old beasts have a power failure and owing to a bug in the BIOS the NIC doesn't necessarily initialize properly, which requires a reboot to correct it. Got me thinking of a band-aid -- have the PC ping a specific IP address, and if it cannot ping then it forces itself to reboot.
IF I were to write it in BASH I'd do it like this:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=<some meaningful hostname or IP address>
for ipaddy in $HOST
do
count=$(ping -c 1 $HOST | grep 'received' | awk '{print $4}')
if [ "$count" = "0" ]; then
sh usr/bin/reboot
fi
done
In English: send 1 ping to the IP address. Grep through the results to see how many of 1 ping was returned. IF it returns 0 pings then reboot. I'm sure the reboot command would have to be groomed a bit for sudoers but that's beside the point here.
So, HOW do we write something like this for DOS? Stop giggling (lol). No really, I have Windows 2000 & XP machines that need some sort of script or method of knowing (at intervals) of when they're not talking to the Host system, and need to reboot to fix it. I was thinking to write a simple test script, drop it on each of these machines and use the Windows task scheduler to run it every 30 minutes.
I'm setting up my fedora 10 server. I am currently working on samba. I have added users and created their home directories with their own html directories. I have changed their html directories to 777. However, it appears to be read-only since I cannot create files or folders within it. Can anyone please give me some ideas as to what may be causing this? Probably some extra configurations I may have overlooked? Any help would be kindly appreciated. I also created a general wshare (writable share) directory for all users within home directory but I am encountering the same problem and cannot write to it.

Code:
/var/lib/mythtv 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)
Here is my hosts.allow file:[code]....
I also made sure that under Settings -> Shared Folders, the "Read-only" box was unchecked.I did all this and I still cannot get the MacBook to write to the mounted folders.
I have setup a NFS server and this the content of /etc/exports at the server with IP A.B.C.D1 is:/home/shared A.B.C.D2(rw,no_root_squash)Problem is, only the root at A.B.C.D1 and A.B.C.D2 can write to that folder.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a PHP developer and an app I'm working on right now generates files for users to download. The problem I'm seeing is in order to write to a folder I have to chmod it 777, obviously a bad idea.
I'm thinking the best idea is to change the folder user / group to that of apache, however after over an hour of Googleing I can not find out what user / group apache belongs to.
Thoughts? Is this the best way to go or should I do something else?
In my tmp directory some logs are creating continue (with name logs.txt1, logs.txt2 up to 245). Some times these logs are creating continue within 1 or 3 second gap, now I want to write a bash script that continue monitor the tmp directory and if any time logs create simultaneously within 1 or 3 section gap it will alert me..( generally logs are create with the gap of 5 or 10 minutes duration or some time after one hours )

Just finished downloading a game in .run format, i downloaded it to my Home>Downloads folder and ran these commands in terminal: (game is tremulous if it matters)
chmod +x tremulous.run
./tremulous.run
It started it up in the terminal and i began working my way through the installation process, and i tried to install it into my Home>Games folder. (Is it supposed to be home>games or your username>games?)
and it said PERMISSION DENIED. No write permission to Home/Games/
How do i give myself read and write permissions to my game folder?
I'm having an odd problem (although I'm probably missing something obvious to a non-semi-newbie):I have a directory used for samba shares which is owned by user fred, a system user which the windows clients on my network authenticate with to access the shares. I, roger, want to access the directories without having to put my 'sudo boots' on every time, so I made the directory group users and added roger to that group, and changed the file/folder modes from 0755 to 0775.However I still do not have write permissions inside the directory; I still seem to be considered 'other' and hence only have read and execute.
View 6 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is the correct forum for this but I run ubuntu 10.04 server in virtualbox, and have samba running. I can see the files and read them in win7, but I want write access aswell!
I need to do this in terminal only, and Im not that well versed in Linux or the terminal. Anyways here is my smb.conf:
[global]
security = share
workgroup = myworkgroupname
load printers = no
[Code]...
Since "read only = no" I think i should have write permissions... and since I can read the files Im guessing the smb.conf is the problem?
I just got a new PC with 2TB of HDD space and it's running Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit. I have created a user for networking, called share and have created a folder within the home folder called public. I then shared the folder and gave 777 access to it as I want this to be public - but for my local network and my later for ssh access. I have installed samba, and under the sharing options I allowed for guest logins and people to write and delete from folder. SO how would I be able to "see" this from my windows machine? It's running XP pro and it has a domain other than workgroup - but that shouldn't affect it should it?
Also, the laptop with XP is on the wireless with and internal IP of 10.0.0.135 and my PC is on the LAN connection with and internal IP of 10.0.0.1 I'm sort of familiar with networks, but I have NO clue as to how to do this.

The title says it all: I have two folders which I share in Ubuntu (10.10), one of them is "public", so I set it to allow guests to create/move/delete files in the folder. Then there is my mother's PC running Windows XP Professional (also one shared folder with write access). When I was using Windows 7, I could create/delete/edit files on my mother's shared folder but now, using Ubuntu, I can only read from it. Same with the shared folder in Ubuntu, I can only read it from XP but not write to it.

Terribly new to Linux and find it mindboggling. I work on brain imaging and unfortunately all of the analysis runs on Linux, and I do not understand computers well coming as I do from a medical background. So my question - There are various folders of patient MRI scans (folders called P1, P2, P3 etc) and within them are enclosed certain files that I am interested in (always called the same name in all folders, say image001). I would like a script that enables me to copy and move this image001 in all these individual folders to another folder altogether.
