Ubuntu :: How To Export Per-user Process Variables
Mar 15, 2010
I can't seem to find how to export a variable to all processes I run under my user? I have an application that needs this variable, and currently I have to manually export this variable (typing "export VAR=... in terminal) every time before I run the application.
Which profile file I have to put the export expression into? I want all processes to inherit this variable, not just the shell/terminal. I.e. a true environment variable...

I created variables in python and would like to be able to incorporate those into bash commands that will be mixed into the script. Example:
Code:
name=raw_input("Type your name and press ENTER: ")
import os
os.system( echo "name")
Of course this doesn't actually work, but i think you get an indication of what I am trying to do.

I'm playing around with some shell scripting and I've got a directory call CS005 and I'm trying to write a script to I can locate to the directory really quick and easy.
export CS005DIR=/home/stud/0/043234/CS005
Now I get this error
CS005DIR=/home/stud/0/043234/CS005 No such file or directory.
This is because I've got numerical values within my variable.
Is there a way to allow numbers for variable names?

mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***
Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.

forums so I'm not sure this is the right place for this topic.So, my question/topic thing is:I have a PHP script that runs on an apache2 web server (www-data).From this script, i want to launch a process that stays alive all the time,ut the parent script keeps on going. So I think I will need to run a command like 'at' to put the process on a queue, and the script can continue and finish, without waiting for the process to stop. But it seems like I will need to run the 'at' command as a different user, because www-data stops the 'atd' process. I'm not sure about that. Does anybody know how this could happen?

Does anybody know a way to log traffic on a single interface/IP by process? Specifically what I want to record is traffic usage by user, but I can match PIDs against user to product stats and the user would also be in the full command line of the process.
There is a nice tool called nethogs that I often use to monitor traffic this way in realtime, but I would like to log the accumulated traffic rather than just monitor it.

$ uptime
09:55:00 up 7 days, 6 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
..but I'm the only user logged in!
$ who -a
system boot 2010-09-06 09:48
run-level 2 2010-09-06 09:48 last=
[code]....
looks as though this is the culprit, but...
$ kill 5485
-bash: kill: (5485) - No such process
This process doesn't exist in the /proc folder or the output of ps. Does anyone know how this happened, and how to remove this ghost user from my system without a complete reboot? I think I have seen a similar thing on a RedHat machine ages ago but I have never figured out how to log out these ghost users.
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-28-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 25 16:07:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

I would like to give a non-root user (nicollet) the ability to detect and send a signal to processes started by Apache2 (those processes are FastCGI scripts and the signal tells them to empty their cache). The processes are owned by the web user (www-data), and I'm running on Debian unstable.
I can't find any way to have the nicollet user see those processes.
The processes are running and can see by both root and www-data:
root@linux-01:~# ps -Af | grep baryton
www-data 17649 17648 0 10:27 ? 00:00:00 baryton
www-data 28145 1 0 Nov01 ? 00:00:12 baryton --bot
root 18701 18700 0 10:46 pts/0 00:00:00 grep baryton
root@linux-01:~#
[Code]....
The most surprising is that the grep process is indeed run by www-data (because it's started from a setuid executable) and is visible, but the baryton process isn't.
What's going on here? Why can ps run by www-data show those processes, but ps run by a setuid executable running as www-data cannot, when it's started by nicollet?

i googled around and finally stumbled over this forum. I've been wondering, how would i kill an process running from an folder and with user parameter? I usually type this into the ssh console: pkill -9 < process > -U < username >
But i want users be able to run it multiple times, and killing only an specific process and not every single one.

For the past few days I was putting effort on understanding the software control flow starting from "Boot loader" to "Linux User space".
I am consolidating the entire process and putting forth in this forum...It would be great if someone can validate this..It might be useful to other new bees too.
Step 1 : Power up the board
Step 2 : The CPU control goes to EEPROM/storage memory where BIOS resides
Step 3: BIOS gets loaded in RAM and gets executed
Step 4: During execution, the selection of Boot device has to be done with the help of BIOS Menu [Blue screen appearance during start up in normal PC's]
Step 5: BIOS shall access the Bootloader stored in boot device [for eg.,Hard disk]. Boot loader is stored in MBR area.
for explanation purpose I take the following configurations
Bootloader = GRUB
Boot Device = Hard Disk
Step 6: GRUB shall be loaded in RAM and gets executed
Step 7: GRUB shall load the KERNEL image to RAM. Kernel image is stored in Hard Disk.
The question of "How the GRUB knows where the Kernel image is stored".
The answer is
1. In the "Grub.config" file, the location of "Kernel Image" and " Ramdisk Image" [which will be discussed later in the section] is being given.
Step 8: Kernel Image followed by Ramdisk Image is loaded in RAM by GRUB bootloader
Step 9: Kernel Image gets executed...During execution, top portion of the code shall make initial hardware initialization and latter part
of the code shall just decompress the Kernel Image
Step 10 : After decompressing the Kernel Image, it shall decompress
the already loaded Ramdisk Image
Ram disk is just creating a temporary hard disk in RAM. The main responsibility includes it consists of minimal driver files, executables, directory structures to created a TEMPORARY ROOT FILE SYSTEM.
This Temporary Root File system shall be used by Kernel Image
1. Execute the executables to access the Hard disk
2. For creating Permanent Root File System in HARD DISK
Step 11 : Kernel Shall look for the file /Linuxrc in Ramdisk. Linuxrc
is a USER script file [not sure]
Step 12: At the end of script file Linuxrc, the Ramdisk shall give the
control to "USER SPACE" [path for writing the script not known]in Linux kernel
Step 13: USER SPACE is the normal shell

A Tomcat server is installed under user A. Now I am going to write a script which will start this Tomcat server. And this script can be executed from other users (from there account). And if other user run this script, the process ID should be of user A, so that user A can start or stop this process any time. This means, at the beginning of the script I have set the process ID as user A. How to do this?
