I have a startup script which calls other scripts which need to run some utilities I have. I've tried changing the executable path by adding it to .bashrc:
Code:
echo "PATH=$PATH:$new_path" | tee -a /root/.bashrc /home/$user/.bashrc
echo "export PATH" | tee -a /root/.bashrc /home/$user/.bashrc
But this only works for finding executables once the boot process is over. The startup scripts don't see this path.
Installed Apache and the default web root was /var/www I wanted to change the cgi-bin to somewhere within the /var/www but I cannot. It only works at /usr/lib/cgi-bin. I am trying to work out the Python CGI to be precise. It works at /usr/lib/cgi-bin but gives a 404 at other places like /home/aj/public_html/cgi-bin or /var/www/cgi-bin.I even tried it with putting a webroot directory in my home directory with a cgi-bin in it and made the changes accordingly in the conf. but the only way it works is when cgi-bin settings point to /usr/lib/cgi-bin otherwise it gives 404.

I followed the compile and make instructions and ended up with a folder on my desktop that contains the excutable but is not in the path of the the other program. How can I do this..I think that I have about 20 more .tgz files to do this with.

After coming home one evening I found my server was turned off. My suspicions lead me to believe we had a storm and the power went off, then the UPS went off and finally at that point the server went off too. I think my server was set to allow security updates. After it turned of and restarted it seems it made a change to Grub and upgraded it to Grub2. In doing so I now get the following message:

I have a dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 I just started setting up - and know almost nothing about Linux - I have all my data on separate drives from my OS drives, and would like to "arrive" at my "My Documents" file when i choose "Documents" in Ubuntu.
The location of "My Documents" is - /media/New Volume/My Documents (which I found by dragging the folder onto the terminal) not quite sure how to put in the right command - something like ln -s /media/New Volume/My Documents ~Documents - (but that isn't right and didn't work).I also want to do the same with Music, Pictures and Videos.
I'm trying to make a reference to a second hard drive that is not part of the main file system, so I changed all the references to /var/www to /media/HD1/www and I have set the permissions on the entire hard drive to allow reading, and I still get a 403 forbidden error when I attempt to access my site, everything works when I just use the default path. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with apache2 installed through the package manager...

Can I change the default path for any or all of the different crontab files?
Can they be changed independently? for example can the user mark get one path for cron jobs, Lynn get another, and root get yet a third, or are they always going to be the same?
How do I change them?
Hello fellow Linux users:
I know there are several crontab files on my computer. One each for each user, and it looks like one for root, maybe others?
I think there is only one cron handler that reads all the different crontab files and does what it is told.
If I do from my command line, I get:
Code:
mark@server:~$echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
If I schedule a similar command in my own crontab file by using
Code:
mark@server:~$crontab -e

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal:
normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
super user:
Code:
root@ataias-notebook:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
As many commands are in /sbin/, root can use them without writing "/sbin/" but I can't do the same cause it's not in my path.
while root do this:
Code:
shutdown -h now
I should do:
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
and I want to use only

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just set up an internal mail server for my office using Postfix, Dovecot and Squirrelmail. It works great except for one tiny problem. When I send mail, I address it to user@myoffice (no .com, .net, etc) and it works perfectly. However, somewhere in my work, I screwed up and for whatever dumb reason put myoffice.net somewhere in there and now the return-path always shows up as user@myoffice.net instead of just user@myoffice. Does anyone know how to fix the return-path so that when someone clicks reply it goes to user@myoffice? I've Googled and searched here without finding my answer, apologies if it's out there and I've just failed to see it. Rest assured I have done a couple hours of searching before finally asking for help.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a custom app that runs on boot on some older hardware running DSL linux, and their startup manager was quite simple. We purchased some newer Asus eeebox's which run xandros and things are quite stable and run nice with 1 exception.The application only runs from the root (/) location. This box auto logs in as 'user' and there is a /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder where you can stick scripts to run at boot. So I have a start.sh script, and with little bash programming tried things such as;
sudo cd /
sudo /startapp.pl
but the errors start spewing with the basic;can't find data/xyz as it's looking in the local.I thought there was a basic cwd (change working directory) but everything I try just forces the run from that location.Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, but things like can you change the code, etc. can't be done, so it must be a programming thing. The only other thought I had but not sure, can you do a cronjob with @boot or something, that when the box starts, it can run this job as root and fire off?
I found the following function in /etc/profile file.

1. I dont undestand what "if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -qE "(^|:)$1($|:)"" this if statement actually comapres??
2. Also what is the difference between PATH=$PATH:$1 & PATH=$1:$PATH
I was wondering if we could cd in the directory of the PATH variable. For example, if I type in echo $DISPLAY. It will give me /tmp/launch-3ee4fg/org.x:0
Is there any way that I can just take the value '/tmp/launch-3ee4fg/' from the output of $DISPLAY and exclude out the filename to the end of the command. I tried using the read command and the IFS variable..apparently IFS does not recognise / I guess.
I'm writing an application with a plugin architecture and would like modify (specifically add to) the dynamic library search path while the main executable is running.
The plugin paths are not known until the application is running so I can't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH ahead of time.
My understanding (although I haven't tested it) is that the executable will only parse the LD_LIBRARY_PATH once, early on, so modifying this environment variable at runtime will have no effect.
(Note - on Windows the solution is to modify the PATH environment variable)
I know it's possible to specify the full path to load a dynamic library, and this would work if the plugin(s) only had a single library to load, but some of them will have a bunch of libraries with their own inter-dependencies, so I'd like the plugin folder(s) to get added to the search path to pick up the dependant libs.
