How could I give extension as a parameter and then script would take this given extension as parameter and would after that walk through the system and write these listed/ finded files directly to the file like $hostname.$extension.log. I was wondering something like this.
#!/bin/bash
EXTENSION=$1
HOSTNAME=$HOST
HOMEFOLDER=/home/
[code]....
I am trying to search particular directory which has files with extensions like .html,.mp3,.xml etc I have a list of such files What I am doing in my script is
for file_name in `find /home/ -name index.html -o -name song.mp3 -o -name help.xml`;
do
if [ $file!='' ]
then
[code]....
I have around 100+ files name with some particular extension , this code works fine if the directory name does not have any special character in it like " "(white character) .
It is failing to give the output. IF I run the find command on the console the I am getting the correct file name with location
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/config/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/pop.mp3
/home/user2/public_html/index test/pop.mp3
/home/user2/public_html/index test/web.xml
/home/user2/public_html/song.mp3
If I echo the file name from the script Then output is little missed match when a directory name has special char like " "
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/config/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/pop.mp3

I am not sure what is wrong with script or my code .. Does shell have un-controlled behavior of manipulating the output of any command.
Firefox opens file listing instead of Nautilus opening file listing.When I access a folder via "Places" -> "Home Folder" or "Places" -> "Downloads", Firefox opens and list the contents of the directory.I have re-installed Nautilus, un-installed Firefox and then going to "Places" -> "Home Folder" or "Places" -> "Downloads" launches Nautilus and I can view the contents normally. Anybody else had this problem with Firefox ? Anybody know how to fix this Firefox problem ?Running Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 64bit.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an old Windows XP Media Centre 2005 computer. My sister is the primary user of the computer and she's always downloading viruses and stuff on it so I decided to clean it up a bit and install Ubuntu via Wubi so we could use something that was harder to screw up, easier to use, and faster. I downloaded the iso of Lucid and ran Wubi.The installation worked fine (with the exception of that annoying "no disk" pyrun.exe error, which I had to keep clicking cancel to get out of). I restarted the computer, selected Ubuntu, and Lucid began to install and showed that very well-presented slideshow of Ubuntu's features. It finished, told me to reboot my computer and all seemed well until it reached the boot menu.
When it comes up to XP's boot selector, it gives me the standard list - pick between XP Media Centre and Ubuntu. I selected Ubuntu. Then, it brings me to the GRUB menu. Except, there's no Ubuntu options, just "Dell Recovery Partition" and "Windows XP." I'm positive that Dell Recovery Partition is the factory restore thing since I've used it before, but selecting Windows XP brings be back to XP's OS chooser. It's just an infinite loop until you choose XP from its own OS list.I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but a "skip" button appeared on the installation near the end when it didn't appear to be doing anything, so I clicked it. Would that have affected the install?
I've already googled this problem and I've only come across one thread with this problem, and it was from 2 months ago and didn't seem to have a clear resolution. This problem is pretty depressing considering I've used Wubi on two other computers and never ran into any trouble.Also, I would dual boot but I see no problem with using Wubi since it saves a lot of trouble and there's 95% less chance of breaking something (I've been using it for a month or so on my Dell laptop since my preinstalled Windows Vista KSOD'd and I haven't ran into any complications). Plus, I don't have any blank disks or USBs laying around and I'm not waiting 2 months to get a Ubuntu CD.
I can create a tunnel with the autossh command. Is there a way to view all SSH tunnels created by that command?

Is there some low-level way of listing which mouse button does what in Gnome? It seems my middle mouse button is mapped to something besides a middle mouse click (button 3). For example, to move or pan in apps like Xmind or blender, you need to click on hold the MMB. The app will work like expected for a split second then stop, making it useless.
This is one of the most frustrating issues I find with Gnome/Linux/etc. There is a million places to set global inputs, but no place to find them. I have been through every control panel, every compiz plugin, xorg, gconf etc, and can't find what the MMB is set too (or any other input for that matter). I know that somewhere MMB on a window title bar will send it to the back, but can't find where that is either

Once again, nobody seems to understand security properly when they decide to add nifty new features. After upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10, I now have a listing of all the user accounts under "Switch from" when I go the the logout menu at the upper right side of the task bar. This is a terrible security hole that should never have been allowed in the first place, and is just as annoying as the default behavior of listing all the user accounts on the login screen.

I presume that if this is possible it would need to be done as root (or as a user who shares root's UID of 0).How can a process be launched so that it does not show up in a ps aux or ps ef or top listing if the command is run by non-root?Is this even possible?The distributions I typically run are RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu - so if there is a distro-specific answer, that's ok, too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible for a non-root user to hide themselves from the output of who/w, so that they can be logged in without other users seeing it? I think that the file /var/run/utmp might have something to do with this, but it's not writeable by non-root users (permission 644).

For example.

ln a c
I want to find out what files link to a (not symlinks, mind you), assuming that this is more complicated (they are spread around to different directories).
I kind of understand about the filesystem storing links in one area and data in another, so I understand it probably takes more work to find a link from a file location than the other way around.
