tail -f <filename> is not working as planned on my Ubuntu 9.10, it doesn't show the appended data.tail -F works, but it does not append the new line, it reopens the file with the message: "tail: <filename> has been replaced; following end of new file"

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.
something.mp3 → something.ogg
And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?
PS: {Filename} doesn't work.
What is the difference between filename and ./filename? Under what circumstances is one preferred to the other?

The driver for that adapter is supported for sco linux kernel version 2.4.x and 2.5.x .However, I'm using Centos5 but the OS didn't recognize the adapter alone, so I'm trying to follo instructions on the driver on the attached CD.
The CD contains file named "SC92031.c", the instructions tell me to do the following "Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o"

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux, but was put in charge of our company's Amazon presence. My problem is that all of the sudden, a shell script we have been using has stopped working, and returned an odd error that I simply can't decipher. The shell script is pretty simple, and is run on our crontab (however manually running it causes the same error as well). The script name is "sendh.sh" and to run it in Linux is simply typing "sh sendh.sh". Here it is:

Yes, obviously those files are in the directory, I can see them through the "ls" command (or through WinSCP as well). When run one by one, each command works fine, it's just when using this "sendh.sh" shell script then it fails. Does anyone know why "" is appended to the filenames when I try to run it, or what the heck "ambiguous redirect" means?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 over the weekend and wanted to tail the logs whilst doing so stuff. When I browsed to the folder after getting an error trying to tail, I noticed that the messages file does not exist.
Usually use tail -f /var/log/messages
Is there a way to tail a log file and send each line as a syslog event to a remote server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to printout auth.log each line by log event, I think it should be running using the following command:

the lpr package already is installed in myserver, there is no problem to print directly.
~# cat /var/log/auth.log | lpr
I am trying to use tail -f and play a sound everytime a new line appears. I tried this: for i in tail -f myFile; do aplay alert.wav; done; Which kinda worked, the output is:

But after 3 times it stops, and I would like to print the tail -f result and not the aplay result. How could I achieve that?
I'm running ubuntu 9.10 with the latest networkmanager (from ppa)I thought this could be wrong credentials setting, so i've tried a huge amount of setups (user: phonenumber, password: phonenumber, avp:telenor, seems to be the general consensus for how it should be)Is there something I'm missing or is there any way I could tail the output as NetworkManager tries to connect (hopefully seeing something like "wrong password" etc.)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was using Opensuse on Virtualbox earlier today. I issued the tail -f /var/log/messages command on Opensuse 11.3 to see the messages. Then I logged in from my Mac into Opensuse 11.3. I noticed that Opensuse was displaying realtime messages of the things happening. For eg, I entered a wrong su password and it displayed that too. But no such things were happening on my Fedora 13 installation. So is there any way if I could get some realtime messages on Fedora 13 too like the one on Opensuse..?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was recently looking into using tail -f to monitor some text files like so: tail -f /var/sometext However, when I did some testing, it doesn't seem to work. What I did was I created a new file and ran: tail -f /home/name/text Then, I opened the log in vim and did some editing, saved it, and it seems that tail is not "seeing" the change.
The weird thing is, running echo "hello" >> /home/name/text seems to work fine (tail sees the change). I read somewhere this has something to do with file descriptors and new inodes being created when saving a file.
I need to tail -f a log file that is rotated.
This is the exact same issue as the one here, but on OS X:
Why does less tail mode stop working?
So how can I constantly track a file whose inode might change under OS X?
am facing a problem with tailing a log file.

I have had update problems for a very long time in my desktop e-machine. Maybe since 5.3. Usually something about Gwenview and other things. And, while --skip-broken got other packages updated, sorry, an incomplete update just isn't acceptable. Because of this I stopped using Centos for a long time. Yesterday, I got ambition and gave it another try. I had a lot of yum upgrade failures when upgrading 5.4 to 5.5, using --skip-broken.
I decided to fix things or delete Centos completely. But, I like the idea of free R****t. I realize this may have been posted, but I had no luck finding it via Google, So I started Googling. I soon found the --disablerepo option, and playing with repos, got most of the failures to upgrade. But, still hung up on a lot of stuff, like 11 packages or more.
Next, I learned about yum-prioroties and setting repo prorities. Yum-priorities was already installed, but I did go in and set the priorities. Since Google has a lot of information on this, I will not repeat here. You go into the repo config files and add a priority number to each repo listing. Here is a script to display repo priorities that I found online, sorry, I lost the author:

By invoking x11vnc with the -gui tray option the TCL/TK GUI attempts to embed itself onto the system tray, but I encounter the error message "tail: cannot watch /tmp/x11vnc.tray.*", after the first settings dialog approved [clicked OK].

View 1 Replies View RelatedBrasero is a great application in general, but one thing has always annoyed me: When I rip a disc to an image file, it is always called "brasero.iso" by default. Is there some way I can configure Brasero to automatically use the disc's volume label as the *.iso filename? I'm tired of having to type a filename each time, or else go back later, figure out what it's an image of, and rename it in Nautilus.
