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 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 .
scan my network and check for files within a LAN, in a mixed Linux and Windows environment.Something like LAN spy for Windows. Is there a package or program like that for Linux?
I understand wget is used to download files. Is there a way I can search a url for what files are available for me to download. I need to install a plug-in from an adobe website.
I know that there is little need for me to install an anti-virus etc - but - I was thinking, it is a good idea to scan folders and files that I send to colleagues that run windows.Whats the best way and programme to do this? I guess I simply install an AV programme and thats it!
I ran a chkrootkit scan and found this: The following suspicious files and directories were found: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/.path /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.8/.autoreg /usr/lib/firefox 3.6.8/.autoreg /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-openjdk.jinfo
I had a hack on my oscommerce website recently. I have put in the relevant security patches but I need to check whether the hacker left any code changes in my files. What is a good file comparison software for linux? I need it to scan though the current files and folders and compare it the original default oscommerce installation so I can check the code.
I installed squeeze on my eeepc 1015ped and downloaded the correct firmware-brcm80211 drivers but every time I scan for my network using iwconfig wlan0 scan or wicd, my computer completely freezes. I previously had a solid install running xmonad, and wicd was working like a charm (using the same broadcom driver) but i tinkered too much with it and decided to do a fresh install. I haven't quite run into a problem like this before.
How to determine what type of files clamav can scan? For example, if there is no unrar installed it can't scan files in it. So is there any way to find out all types of files that clamav can't scan?
I have a file which contains the data i retrieved through prstat and an array that contains all the unique process ID's of that particular file. i want to compare each and every line in the file with each and every element of the array so that i can create multiple files for the multiple value in the array.
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?
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.
I am doing a project related to system restore concept in linux. There i am planning to perform application wise rollback in case of failure!! Is there any way to figure out what are all the files used by an application in the system??
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 want a list of all my mp3 files (or any other kind of file, actually) telling me HOW MANY OF THEM I have in my computer.I tried with both find and locate commands in terminal, but they don't tell me how many files I have.
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.

How can you remove files containing a specific string?I have...Code:find |grep 'string'This may return several results and I wanted to rm the results.I also have...Code:ls -l |grep 'string'|awk '{print $9}'which also may return results.But point is, I can't supply the results as a parameter to rmI was thinking of looping but I don't know how to access the results as if they were an array or something.

I am trying to use the command gzip to compress a directory or file list as argument and compress the file in a file named copia101225, within a directory named ZIPFILES. I want to make sure that if the arguments doesn't exist, the destination directory doesn't exist that it creates it. I keep failing at compressing the file to copia101225, that is within the directory named ZIPFILES This is what I have so far:
#! / bin / bash # Title: Compress a file # Author: Jose Miguel Colella # Description: Compress a file
