How do I change the time stamp on videos that I record so that they say what DAY they were recorded instead of just the DATE? I can't find the config file which I assume would be the place to look.
View 1 RepliesI need some help recovering from a "slight" screwup. We just moved 3 TB of data from one RAID Array to another. Low lever archive files. This was done with a regular cp (for some reason) and now we have lost all the timestamps on the files, and we urgently need to get the timestamps back on these files.
We are running Ubuntu 9.10 Server and we have mounted the following
1. /mnt/old-raid ##Old raid from the old server
2. /mnt/new-raid ##New raid on the server
I know we can read out the timestamp on the old server using the command stat -c '%Y' <<filname>>
I know we can change the timestamp of the file, using the command touch -d '<<date>>'
To get from the stat -c date to the input date in touch we need to use date -d @<<timestamp>> +'%d %b %Y %R'
So my question is, how can I create a loop that will list all files in a folder, get their timestamp and update the old timestamp with the new?
In the Windows world where I came from, Irfanview freeware easily renamed a large folder of JPEG photos by EXIF time & date stamps, appending a unique number if the time and date stamps were the same. Is there an equivalent rename-by-EXIF information batch command in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid? For example, change (based solely on EXIF information): FROM:DSC_0001.JPG TO:20110224_09:34:56am.JPG
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to make a few folders, but I need the fold name to reflect the time which they were created. For example: if I create a folder at on 2010.06.03 at 13:01:34 then I would need a file name something similar to the following 20100603_130134. In addition, could the same method be used for .tar files? I would like a bash script which I can run to perform the following; however, I am not familiar with scripting in Linux yet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to use the stamp function in pdftk. I'm trying to stamp a pdf document with a pdf I generate on the fly that contains the current date. Below is what I have so far. The problem is that pdftk says "Error: failed to open stamp PDF file". the file is in the same dir as execution, I've made it 776, I've specified full paths... nothing seems to work. I've even tried the "prompt" option and specify it manually but I get the same behavior. This is pdftk version 1.4.
Script (named "go"):
Code:
# date in YYYY-MM-DD format
umask 0
# create a variable with a formatted date
TODAY=`date +%Y-%m-%0e`;

I was created one folder in linux with current time was 1978(For example). I was moved this folder to usb(FAT32 file format).While seeing this folder in window its not showing the folder time created time stamp, because the USB file system only support the year after 1980 . But again i am putting the same folder in linux ,its showing the correct time stamp.How is it possible? Because FAT32 only supports timestamp after 1980, but still its showing 1978 in linux system
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run prstat for an extended time, outputting to a file and appending a time-stamp to each line (running on Solaris 10). I have tried this:
prstat -c -U usrname 60 480 | nawk '$1=="PID" { "date +%d%m%Y-%H:%M:%S" | getline d ; close("date") } { print d,$0 }' > /tmp/fileName &
this only appends the time the command was started to each line. I would like to fix this so that a new time is recorded every 60 seconds.
I have two systems running on linux. system one is running with RHEL 5.4/X86_64 hardware, system two is running with RHEL 5.3/i686 hardware. One filesystem is shared from system two and mounted as NFS on system one. Now when i do a copy from local filesystem to the NFS share from system one,it shows as follows
Quote:
-rw-r--r-- 1 xkinved rbak1 30 Mar 3 2011 king
But if i do copy with -p option then it shows right time stamp. Both machines are running with slight(minutes) different in time. Does this could be cause for this problem? The problem is happening while i do FTP from some other machines too.
I want to use history command to show the time stamp, user id, ip address, command logged
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rename multiple files in a directory and add the Date/Time stamp to the file name.
Example:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
Renamed to
2009_02_01_21.txt
2009_02_02_21.txt
2009_02_03_21.txt
I am able to accomplish this using this command:
mv file1.txt "`date +%Y_%m%d_%H`".txt
But I want to automate this task, I have many files to process and I dont want to do them one by one.
I already tried this but it does not work
mv *.txt "`date +%Y_%m%d_%H`".txt
I'm trying to change the time stamps on a bunch of pictures in the same directory, because several cameras were used, some of them with the wrong time zone.exiftool seems to be the correct package to use, but it doesn't seem to work.
The following command seems to be the recommended way to subtract 1 hour from all .JPG files in the directory, but the exif data in the file and even the time stamps don't change.
Code:
exiftool -a -AllDates -=01:00 .
I have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 under VBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:::
When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. Of course I could just re-click Shut Down -button again, but I don't want to do it. Period.
By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:
None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-session.

how I should go about rotating files that end with a date stamp. This is the configuration I have to rotate my Apache access files, but it is not working:

The files are created with a date extension like the ones below:

Newbie 1st post here. Trying to find the most efficient way to copy a file to a different directory and rename it with a date stamp extension. Looking to accomplish this with one command if possible.
File = make_file
Full path /home/user1/bin/scripts/make_file
would like to move to the following directory /home/user1/bin/scripts/archive/
I'm trying to find out how to use command substitution along with the date command that when I copy the file to the archive directory it gets renamed with a time stamp extension. It should look something like "make_page_12:00:00-24-10-2010" I've tried a few different combinations using the cp and mv commands but can't seem to get it to work the way I want to.
I have the following issue: I want to upload some documents on my site(mostly pdfs) with watermark and as far my status is: I have managed to get my watermark in:
transparent png
pdf format
>> When it is a text/pdf I use a script using pdftk, which merges the pdf version of watermark to the pdf document (success)
>> When it is a scanned document(pdf) if I use pdftk, it only works if I apply the watermark as stamp (foreground not background). But in this case the watermark overlaps the original document despite the fact that watermark has the right opacity.... (fail) So the only solution is to apply a transparent watermark. So the question is:How to make a pdf transparent Or how to apply watermark from png file I tried adobe acrobat with wine and it applies the pdf watermark as stamp(foreground) with right opacity so I suppose it was a kind of bug maybe from pdftk, but I would like a command like way to do it so that I can make a script.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have GRUB "1.98-1ubuntu6", and while I have been using GRUB, I have always wondered how to change the delay time prior to GRUB booting into the default operating system. I would even like to switch it off, if possible. Thanks for any help you may have, as I can't seem to find mention of it anywhere, and I think a 10-second wait is silly, having been accustomed to adjusting LILO to any delay time I liked.
