I would like to be able to get rid of hard returns when they show up in files (like ocr files). Is sed the best way to do this? If so, exactly what script do I use. How do I indicate the hard returns? Tried sed s/^M// source.txt >output.txt and that doesn't seem to do it.

Is there any way to delete this?
I experienced a full hard drive yesterday due to a massive error_log. We took care of the errors, but later found out we were missing files, including a MySQL database table. Having a shopping cart and ecommerce stuff on the site, we found that some of those files were missing, too.Does RHEL 5 have some sort of feature for automatically deleting files when the partition is full? If it does, I want to turn it off.

The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a server that hosts a website and our email. I set up the email (Postfix) to work with Dovecot to enable IMAP and POP support.The mails can be retrieved and sent through this server with no hassles. We just have an issue that all emails sent via a client to any other address (be it on the same domain or not) will return to the inbox of that client.So basically, I open MS Outlook. Click new message and send it off to my GMail address. After I send it, it pops into my inbox on Outlook (stating that it came from me). The intended recipient also gets the message.

After checking my tmp folder I found out some strange hidden and unhidden folders of programs that I have not used or downloaded. After removing each one using sudo rm -rf some folders insist on re-appearing, and after a reboot all folders are back.
Moreover, trying netstat -l, found that many of these files are in listening state.
How can I permanently erase them?

Since upgrading to Lucid (I think), I can't boot into Windows. When I select the Windows Vista entry in GRUB, the screen goes blank for a moment before returning me to the GRUB menu.I have tried pressing 'e' to edit the GRUB entry before booting, and what I find is that it says the root is hd0,1Since my Windows partition is sda1 in GPartEd, should that translate to, for example hd0,0 ?The only reason I want to boot into Windows in the first place is to install a BIOS upgrade from HP, which only works with their Windows software. If someone can suggest an alternative way of doing this then I won't need to boot into Windows at all.
