Apr 16, 2011I keep all of my web design work under /var/www/(application_name). Nine times out ten, when I open a terminal, I'm heading to the www folder - cd /var/www. I would love to make that my "home" folder for the terminal, so it would just open there - I know if I ctrl+shift+t to open a new tab it defaults to the same dir, but it would be nice to have the first opened terminal default to there. Is this possible, or is there a better way to go about this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Make Rhythmbox Exclude A Specific Folder?
Oct 19, 2010This question can be found on the Internet and on this forum but either there is no response or the advice is to move the folder to exclude on another path (in case of using a subfolder for ripped/downloaded mp3).
But in my case my music is on a SAN and I access it through CIFS. So every time I delete a file or folder it goes to the Trash, in a folder called #recycle, which Rhythmbox indexes as well. So I have to delete this folder to avoid duplicates...
Is there any configuration in Rhythmbox to exclude a folder?
I only see a configuration for multiple folders in gconf-editor:
/apps/rhythmbox/library_locations

Software :: Way To Automatically Copy Files Off Of A Cd To A Specific Folder?
Jun 24, 2011What would be the best way to automatically copy all of the data off of a library of cds to a specific folder on the computer? I was thinking of running a bash script but I've run into a few snags figuring out the correct way to do it. Mainly due to the fact that the cd drive is mounted in a different folder in /media each time I insert a new diskAlso, the mounting and unmounting process causes it's own problems, but I think that could be covered by a for loop that checks /mtab every few seconds or so.

General :: Moving Files From Folders And Subfolders To A Specific Folder?
Aug 21, 2010I am using secure delete to remove files from a Debian Linux PC. However, secure delete does not remove folders. This has lead me to look at writing a script that would move files to a predetermined folder for deletion. My plan is as follows:I have a folder on my desktop called shredder where I move the contents of the waste bin to. The script needs to identify all files within the folders and sub folders, within the shredder folder, and move each file to the shredder folder and then delete the folder. At this point secure delete can be used with a command like shred -v -u *.*on the shredder folder.The problem I have is in creating the code to move files from the different folders and then deleting the folders. Note that the names of the files, folders and subfolders will not always be known

Nov 16, 2010I have a script that checks a folder for zip files than moves them to a different folder. I want to check every 5 maybe 10 seconds and since cron is setup to run at least a 1 minute increment I'm not sure how to do that time check as probably a loop within the script. One other thing is once the time check is in the script how would a cron job be setup to run this script? Once the script is running cron doesn't need to run it again, is there a feature to check if it's running and if it's not then run it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Move Folders That Contain A File With A Specific Extension To A Destination Folder?
Oct 3, 2010Many years ago, I converted a portion of my files to an arbitrary format with a specific extension. i no longer desire to have them in this format and i would like begin the process of replacing them because conversion is not an appropriate solution. unfortunately, they are mixed in separate folders of the same root folder with files in my current format of a different extension. I feel it would make this process easier if I were to move every folder that contained a file with the undesired format to a separate root folder. The files are stored on a Linux server and shared via samba. How can I do this with a couple of commands or a script? I am open to other suggestions as well. I want to avoid time spent editing text files. Ultimately, I'd like a command that produced a list of full paths for folders, sorted by the number of levels would be a nice touch. A list of all of the files is clearly not what I'm looking for.

I would like a script that enables me to copy and move this image001 in all these individual folders to another folder altogether.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Allow A Specific User To Mount Or Remount A Specific Partition?
Jun 9, 2010my system I want user1 and only user1 to be able to mount and unmount a specific partition, this partition contains backups and is usually mounted read only, needs to be temporarily mounted read/write by user1 while doing the backup.user1 is an unprivileged user. I've read that the user option will let any user mount the file-system (and only that user can then subsequently unmount it) and that the users option allows any user to mount or unmount the file-system.I also found this in mount's man pageQuote:The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the group of the special file.So it looks like I'd need a login script for that user to make the user owner of the device file (/dev/voiceserv/backup in this case)

Server :: Sendmail: Block Specific Sender To Specific Recipient?
Oct 1, 2009I'm trying to configure our mail server to block email from a specific sender reaching a specific recipient. In other words, if one of our employees is getting harassed by a 'stalker', how would one go about blocking, at the MTA (Sendmail) level, a specific sender email address from reaching a particular users inbox? We do not want to capture the email - simply block it before it consumes server resources.The Sendmail server (MTA) is a front end to our Exchange server so no user accounts exist on the Linux server. We simply use it as a SPAM and Virus scanner then forward clean email to the Exchange server.
