View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Hide Folders Or Files Without Adding Period "." To Rename File Or Folder
Jun 18, 2011I am trying to hide some folders in Ubuntu Linux which are always hidden in Windows through File/Folder Attributes (attrib -h)
It is not an option for me to rename the folder from let's say "Ancient texts directory" to ".Ancient Texts Directory" because the programs associated with these files and shortcuts will not work in Windows. I would like to make the folder hidden by not renaming the folder. Is that so hard to ask?
Is there really no other way of making a folder or a file hidden in Linux just like in Windows by Applying Attributes? I Don't want to rename it by putting a dot in front of it. Moreover renaming a file by putting a dot in front of the name changes the position the folder appears in the list view. For some people this may be ridiculous, but for me with a few hundred files and folders and subfolders, this organisation is important, aside from the aforementioned reasons.
I need to maintain compatibility between the two operating systems' basic folder structure as i must use both Operating systems.

General :: How To Add New Alias
Feb 18, 2010I was trying to add new alias "alias ls='ls --color=auto'" in .profile, but it never worked I displayed all the alias that are current available and did not see the one I just added and found this among them:
lsls $LS_OPTIONS
and the LS_OPTIONS is "-N --color=none -T 0"
this is in /etc/csh.cshrc file which I do not have permission to edit.
Is there way to overwrite it?
Also I do not see a .cshrc under my home directory. Can I just make one and source it? Or do I have to link it to some source file that already exists?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Alias - SCP File From Folder To Network
Dec 17, 2010I know this is a relatively simple problem but no matter what combination I try for my alias, I don't seem to be able to get it right! All I want to do is scp a file from my current folder to a location on the network:
Code:
scp filename username@computername:/folder1/folder2
This is the usual layout of the command that I use, so I thought that to save time, I would create an alias or even a function which did this for me, so all I had to type was
Code:
scp101 filename
and it would copy it to the set folder on the remote computer...
My attempt at an alias looks like:
Code:
alias scp101='scp !* username@computername:/folder1/folder2'
and I have also attempted a function:
Code:
scp101()
{
scp "$1" username@computername:/folder1/folder2
}
The alias tells me that filename is not a directory, which I assume means that I have some of the syntax wrong in the alias but I did a google search and I can't seem to find a decent example of what I'm trying to do. When I load up a terminal, I get an error message about the "(" of the scp101 function - so I've obviously can't get the syntax of that right either...
Fedora Networking :: IP Alias On NIC ?
Feb 15, 2009I have to move our DNS server to our VMware environment. With that comes a new IP address (10.10.102.x). The current address is in the 192.168.10.x. range. Is there a way to bind an alias to my NIC that has a different IP range? I tried it and it didnt work but if i used two IPs in the same subnet range it works. What are my options?
I don't want to go around and modify all my clients to use the new IP. I have many other things running like Nagios and Puppet. Unfortunately this is going to suck and I probably dont have any other options.

My machine's IP address is 10.5.0.34 I can't figure out why I can ping 10.0.2.22 but not 10.0.2.23 -- seems like there is probably some kind of routing thing that I'm missing, but I'm confused how it would have gotten set up for 10.0.2.22 but not 10.0.2.23 -- hopefully someone out there has an idea -- or can point me to references where I might be able to learn how to debug routing issues on a network?

Has anyone encountered the same error messages? This might be a problem with gedit. I tried doing the following and the error messages also came up:

Running artha from the terminal also causes the error.I've managed to get the top-most line of the error:

The hardest thing about this is I have no idea what's causing it. I thought it was gedit but running artha (from the terminal) also causes the error.Sigh. This is a clean install of Lucid, which again makes it even harder to know what causes it.
Ubuntu Networking :: Create A Nickname/alias/logical Name For An Interface?
Jul 28, 2011Basically I am looking for a simple way to create a universal nickname/alias for a interface.We ship servers that have upto 6 NICs on them.

Can this be done i would settle for some added code for the 'if then' statement: so far it looks like this:

I don't want to mess with the default setup on this system too much and think things could get out of hand if i am not careful. So am cautious about doing anything at this stage.

I read a few referances to alias and looked in the manual like any good newby should but am needing your help please. getting out of the MSwindows mind set and into the linux logic is not so easy but is a great experience
Fedora Networking :: OpenVPN Using Alias Rather Than IP
Nov 27, 2009Is there anyway you can configure either OpenVPN client or the system to allow connections using OpenVPN to be made to computers on the OpenVPN network using their alias rather than their IP address. This may sound blasphemous but you can in Windows. That is if the VPN network is say 10.x.0.x I could connect to Comp4 or Comp2 using Comp4 or Comp2 not 10.x.0. 4 or 10.x.0.2 or whatever IP is allocated by the OpenVPN server. If the OpenVPN server has not been restarted then it will usually allocate the same IP every time the same client connects.
