Well i downloaded a program with many .deb files ( At least 15 ) so i wanna execute them all trough the terminal so i typed
Code:
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~$ cd /home/patowlmc/Downloads/i386
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~/Downloads/i386$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Readme.deb: command not found
As you can see all files in the folder are .deb packages, but one: The Readme file, wich is a text file.
I know I just have to move the file to somewhere else, and everything should work, but i wanna know if there's a command for excluding a file or something.
P.D. I totally trust the program, so don't worry about so many .deb files.
i have created on folder in my server to upload some regular states. I want that user can modify or upload already stored files. but, should not upload any unwanted files orfolders.for that i want to use "rm" command as auto scheduler (putting this in cron tab.so that all files will be removed except some required files / folders for which this upload facility is activated. users are using secure-shell for uploading data.
I am using openSUSE 10.3.When I install software from tarball then to record time required I send output of date to beg.txt(when installation begins) and end.txt (when installation finishes).How can I append output of date to a file so I don't need two files?
I don't know why --exclude doesn't work when I use tar command. Please see this code Code: mahmood@pc:~$ l a/ 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt b/ mahmood@pc:~$ tar cvjf compressed.tar.bz2 --exclude=/home/mahmood/a/b/ a/ a/ a/2.txt a/1.txt a/3.txt a/b/ mahmood@pc:~$ As you can see although I excluded b/ but tar command ignored that.
i have this find command to find modified files and copy them.Code:find $SRC_DIR -type f -ctime -1|xargs -i cp --parents {} $BACKUP_DIR/$DAY/and it works good but it want to exclude files that exist in some folders like $SRC_DIR/cash and $SRC_DIR/woks/tmp

I relly need the key commands SHH Terminal for dummies
I'm trying to backup a whole startup disk to another with GRSYNC but I don't need some files or directories. For example, I don't want to backup my 'swapfile1' (I do not have a dedicated swap partition) or the 'media' directory' in order to no enter a looping sync.I've searched the web for the correct syntax of the --exclude command but none have worked if applied in the advanced option "before" rsync starts. These a sample of NOT workin syntaxes:
exclude /media or -- exclude 'media' or -- exclude "media"
same for swapfile1:
exclude swapfile1 or -- exclude 'swapfile1' or -- exclude "swapfile1"
I have the following command which finds all files that have changed in the last day and lists them. How can I exclude hidden files like .bash_history?
I need a hand with a line of terminal commands. I need to be able to search a given .sh file in a given location for a string, and when found, add a "#" to the start of that string and save the file back to it's original location.
I use webcam with the streamer application. So, to record a video I have to put in terminal something like this: Code: streamer -q -c /dev/video0 -f rgb24 -r 24 -t 00:30:00 -o /home/shark/untitled.avi I know I can use other applications but I have got problems with all except with this. This is really annoying because it is a delay job. So, I am wondering how can I make a script that the terminal will ask me to name the file or even better to ask where to put my file.
I've recently installed matlab and after some poking around found that you must start it using a script like:
#>> cd ~root/../matlab2009/bin/ #>>./matlab
the manual tells me that the installation should have made it so that all you have to do is type matlab at the terminal but for some reason this hasn't happened. If you did not set up symbolic links in the installation procedure, you must enter the full path name to start MATLAB, matlabroot/bin/matlab, where matlabroot is the name of the folder in which you installed MATLAB. I've also looked at documentation on ln but most refers to making links between files. Is there a way to link the command "matlab" to the file shown above so all I have to do is type the command and it runs the script?
I'm looking for a way to have the access log for my nginx install scroll up the terminal as lines are added to the log. I think I need a command like cat access.log | diff but I'm not sure exactly what it should be.
is it possible to log the command output's history that are previously printed messages in the terminal to a file? that is the first command output when i first opened terminal through the last command.
[ --exclude FILE ] [ -X, --exclude-from FILEI tar to tar some directory and exclude a directory , I tried tar -cvf /tmp/test.gz ./* --exclude ./temp but not work , and the parameter --exclude seems exclude file only not directory , can advise what can i do
I've got used to using the ftp command from the terminal, which is useful, especially with macros. But it requires user input, and what I want to do now is upload a specific file to a server, once I've finished working with it every day. It's the same file every day. II would like to be able to do this semi-automatically: I just give the command and it connects to the server and uploads the file. (I will probably want to encrypt the file before uploading it.)I don't know how I could use ftp without any user input: I want it to be automatic.
Now, I use Fedora Core (version 8) with core linux OS 2.6 I have some file data with size about 2G and I want to burn (write) this file to DVD rewrite.
I know linux OS can install software to burn data to DVD, but I don't have permission to install more software. I only use command line over Terminal (Gnome Terminal).
I am trying to restore a tar file that contains a directory I cannot nor want to restore. How can I explicitly state the name of the directory? command I am using:tar -xzvPXf <tar file name>.tgz exclude-file=<directory>I have tried it with the exclude-file before the tar file name and same results. No restore.
how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash # #TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.

I've already install the GTK+ library development files (libgtk2.0-dev) but I don't understand the following instructions:Then to compile the Equinox engine, extract the corresponding archive in your home folder. In the new directory, run the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animationmakeWhat is the corresponding archive? Where do I run the command? On the terminal?
I know how to make things run at startup, and obviously know how to run a command in terminal (type and enter... duhhhh). However I would like to be able to run vnstat in terminal when my computer logs in, this is very handy for seeing how much I have downloaded. I have a terminal embedded on the desktop and would very much like to run vnstat in it for me when it starts, I know I could just type in vnstat when I've logged on, but where is the fun in that? Just having it already there for me would be far better.
The command for starting my desktop terminal is as follows: Code: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans --geometry 90x40+280+30
I want to add an item to my start up... I went to start up and hit add. I want my conky to start up... I need a terminal and the code conky that should start it how do you get a terminal command in start up.?
