I need to search a bunch of files in a specific folder for a specific number and add all the numbers together to a total sum. I use Rsync everyday, everytime I run rsync i get a logfile (rsync output) witch contains the textstring "Total bytes sent: xxxxxx".
The "xxxxx" can vary in lenght. I need to extract the "xxxxxx" from each file and add the numbers together to a total size over a week or a month. Is this possible? And I wish to only use bash. One way of doing stuff at a time my friends .

If there is a command I can use to find specific file types? Say if I want to find all the jpg's in my home folder, but they don't have the .jpg extension in the name, how would I do it? Or can I set some kind of size parameter to find them? The ones I want are all from my digicam and roughly the same size.

I got this definition:"a process that replaces a series of related, specific routes in a route table with a more generic route." honestly I found it not so clear.. I want to know if this definition is correct and also more details about this subject..

I thought 'killall' would work, but I need to provide the "command" to kill. I'm really looking for a command that will kill all processes that have a particular file/directory open. Currently, my script fails on an 'umount' because there are several processes that have this filesystem open. The command 'lsof' is a good tool to determine which processes have a filesystem open, but I don't really want to write a script that parses through the 'lsof' output to capture PSIDs. Is there a linux command that can kill all processes that may have a particular filesystem open?

I need a simple traffic monitor for Linux, that counts the traffic in a specific wireless network because I have volume restrictions on that one.I tried it using the following iptables rule:
[code]...
iptables -m mac -A INPUT -p all --mac-source <mac-address> ! -s 10.0.0.0/8
where <mac-address> is the router's one. 10.0.0.0/8 is the local subnet. What I actually want is something like --routed-through <mac-address>. Also, is there some way to gather iptables's statistics? Or is there maybe another tool that does what I want (reliable)?

Is there a program for Ubuntu that converts AVI files to VOB files? This is the only type of file that will burn to a DVD and successfully play on my DVD player. I can use DVD Flick on Windows but I'm sure this can't be the only way. There has to be a way to get VOB files on an Ubuntu operating system.

I know everyone may discard this post because you do not need AV on linux BUT i am trying to use my linux PC as a download horse and would like to scan the files for viruses before I move them to my Windows machine. I downloaded and installed the latest AVG, how do I scan specific files, is it the avgscan command? I check /opt/avg/avg8/log for the scan results of a folder scanned and nothing. I tried avgscan -o -p ~/downloads where -o shows even clean files but after i run the command, there is nothing shown in the prompt and nothing in the log file.

I need to get back two avi movie files but I've deleted hundreds and any recovery might try and drop them back on my small hard disk and overwhelm it! I know the files include the word 'Archer' but I'm using Formost, which is very easy to use, but it doesn't seem to allow for the searching of specific files by name. I can recover by type ie, avi, jpeg, pdf.....
Are there any recovery programs that will list files in a table so I can pick the ones I want to recover or do a search in Terminal for my 'Archer' files?

I have several text files that list hundreds or thousands of words each. I need to find the intersect of each of these sets. (i.e. print only lines that occur in each file) Is there a CLI utility that can do this?

I have two text files in the form:1 ItemA [value]2 ItemB [value]3 ItemC [value]Some of these items are common for both files, while others are missing from either one or the other.I want to compare the values for each common item in the two lists, but don't know how. I have a vague idea that probably grep might be useful, but I don't know how to use it for this purpose.So, to sum it up, what I would like to do is to take to text files containing lists and merge their common items into a third file in the form:
1 ItemA [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]
2 ItemB [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]
3 ItemC [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]
[code]....

How can I set specific ID3 tags for multiple files? For example, I would like to set all files in a directory to the same album. (directly setting the album tag for files in a directory to the directory name would be even better)

I want to restrict the type of files that can be accessed on my web server.For example only flash movies (SWF files) and one specific PHP file.I can think of a number of ways of doing this:1. Linux file permissions, but since the SWF files need to access various PHP files and those PHP files need access to other files themselves that may not work.2. Using mod_rewrite if that is possible, I don't know as I have never used it.

When I try to upload files via FTP to a specific folder (/var/www/myfolder/) I get the message 550 permission is denied. I set CHMOD 777 for this folder (I had to do this via SSH cause I was not allowed to do this in FileZilla)

I've got a NAS running and I'd like to somehow make some of the folders and files invisible to certain users only. For example, if I 'ls' a directory, I want to see files 'a', 'b', and 'c'. But if another user does 'ls' in the same directory, I only want them to be able to see 'a' listed.I know I can use 'chmod +700' to make certain files not able to be read/written, but the filename would still appear in a 'ls'.I know I can put certain files inside of a '.hidden' file in the folder, but then it would be hiEdit : I'd also like to mention that the users that connect to the NAS could be coming from Windows or Mac operating systems. So hopefully the solution would work for users from those systems also..

I have been asked by my company management to look into moving file share server from Windows 2003 server OS to Ubuntu 10.4 using Samba. I have successfully configured active directory authentication using winbind and have configured samba and am able to access my file share successfully.
The complication arises as a result of implementing ACL mappings on Linux, as I need fine grained control over specific subfolders and files. From what I have read, I cant map all 13 permissions to respective unix rwx permissions. I have a use case where a certain group called A has read write execute rights on a folder/file but they shouldnt be allowed to delete the specific folder/file. On windows, all I have to do is set up my security permissions to deny 'delete subfolders and files' and 'delete' and it works well. In linux world I understand I cant do this as the user has rwx permissions on the folder/file and he can do whatever he likes.
I googled a lot around this issue and found that if you set up sticky bit on the directory I can still read and write from the file or directory and wont be able to delete it. It works in case of most document types but MS office. From samba help I figured that "Word does the following when you modify/change a Word document: MS Word creates a new document with a temporary name. Word then closes the old document and deletes it, then renames the new document to the original document name." (from samba how to) So if the sticky bit is set on the directory containing word files for instance, linux wont be able to delete the file (as required in write operations by MS office) and hence comes with an error. I shall be highly obliged if some one can shed light on this issue. Alternatively I would love to learn about other solutions for the use case mentioned.

I have a situation where a directory has about 1.5 million files in it. On an hourly basis, I want to be able to find any files that have changed in the last hour, compress them, encrypt them and then copy them to both a local backup machine and an off site backup.
Is there any kind of utility or kernel module that creates some type of log of modified files? I know I can use find, but the search for -mtime in this directory takes quite a while and will not suffice for an hourly backup.

I am looking for this `struct messages_sdd_t` and I need to search through a lot of *.c files to find it.However, I can't seen to find a match as I want to exclude all the words 'struct' and 'messages_sdd_t'. As I want to search on this only 'struct messages_sdd_t' The reason for this is, as struct is used many times and I keep getting pages or search results.The directory I am searching in, has another directories so it will have to search recursively.I have been doing this without success:Code: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs grep 'struct messages_sdd_t'and thisCode: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs egrep -w 'struct|messages_sdd_t'
