Ubuntu Servers :: Resin Can't Find JAVA_HOME - Exec: 40: -jar: Not Found
Aug 21, 2010I've been following the instructions to install Resin, and all seems to go well until I try to run the /bin/httpd.sh file. It simple says:
Code:
exec: 40: -jar: not found
I suspected this was something to do with my JAVA_HOME variable not being set, so I looked up how to do this and added it to my /etc/bash.bashrc file. Saying "echo $JAVA_HOME" does indeed return the correct path so I don't think this is the problem.
Programming :: `find . -exec' Handling Backticks In Bash
May 15, 2011i had a problem with the find command in bash (which i deem is close enough to a promming language, if not please move this thread :P). i tried to reduce the command to the problem. i want the backticks, or $() for that matter; to be evaluated by -exec of find, not by bash. is that a caveat of find?
Code:
$ find testd -exec echo `basename {}` ; #confused me
test
test/a
test/b
[code]...
edit: i found out whats causing this. `basename {}` gets evaluated by bash before find is invoked, returns {} and `find . -exec echo {} ;" is run. now my question is, how to escape this eveluation from happening before.
General :: Use '{}' To Redirect Output Of A Command Run Through Find's -exec Option?
Jan 10, 2011I am trying to automate an svnadmin dump command for a backup script, and I want to do something like this:
find /var/svn/* ( ! -name dir -prune ) -type d -exec svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn ;
This seems to work, in that it looks through each svn repository in /var/svn, and runs svnadmin dump on it.
However, the second {} in the exec command doesn't get substituted for the name of the directory being processed. It basically just results a single file named {}.svn.
I suspect that this is because the shell interprets > to end the find command, and it tries redirecting stdout from that command to the file named {}.svn.
Ubuntu :: Bash Script To Recurse Directories And Exec Ffmpeg Using Find (possibly)?
Oct 3, 2010I wrote a script that easily runs it in the same directory as it was run below: #for f in *.MTS do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -deinterlace -vpre slow -b 20000k -bt 3000k -refs 4 "${f%.MTS}.mp4" ; #done
I want to be able to use the find command so it will recurse through all the videos in my videos folder. Is there a painless way to do this. Here is the start of my find command but it doesn't work. Any help appreciated:
find . -name "*.MTS" -exec ffmpeg -i 'basename{}' -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -deinterlace -vpre slow -b 20000k -bt 3000k -refs 4 'basename{%.MTS}.mp4'

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Forcing The Exec Bit For Read Only?
Apr 28, 2011trying to run stuff from CD or DVD ROMS >without< copying to my cluttered hard drive, and came to a thought that I'd like evaluated: Would it work to perhaps use sed during the cd-rom auto-mount or some other point to enable the executable bit for *.exe and other 'executables' to somehow override the read only factor? I'm not too familiar with sed except that i know it can insert/replace new patterns of data for defined patterns of existing data.. so would something like this work? Could it be implemented as permanent function of Ubuntu to 'checkbox' cd/dvd mounts to insert the exec' bit on all, known, or choice files as a sort of 'virtual' permissions that can be placed on RO mounts?

May 3, 2009I have Ubuntu 9.04 and just installed Sound Converter. I am trying to convert a bunch of .ogg files to mp3 to play on my iPod and it's not working so well. In the Sound Converter options I have is set to convert to high quality mp3. I choose the folder that the files are in and after a moment (slow laptop) Sound Converter populates, I hit 'convert' and it shows that the conversion completes in two seconds. All that it did was create the new folder structure of artist/album but there is nothing in there. Not sure what I am missing. I used Sound Converter before and it worked fine.

Programming :: Bash Redirection With Exec: Specify Fd With Variable?

Various placements of eval fail, as well. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck hard-coding the descriptor?
View 3 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Fork/exec Versus Posix_spawn
Sep 30, 2010Just coming over from Windows here... where I've been using "CreateProcess" which returns a value depending on whether the process was created successfully or not.
Now I'm trying to create a process on linux and I've been learning about fork/exec, and I've been struggling with the fact that there seems to be no easy way to know (within the original parent process) if exec succeeded or not. (without forcing the parent process to hang around polling it or something).
Anyway, I've now just discovered the posix_spawn function, and it seems exactly what I need. However I'm finding the documentation a little hard to understand. In particular, I can't find actual confirmation that it will definitely return an error if creating the process fails (like CreateProcess does on windows). So can anyone confirm that for me?
The text on the documentation states: "If posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() fail for any of the reasons that would cause fork() or one of the exec family of functions to fail, an error value shall be returned as described by fork() and exec"
This makes me think it uses exec/fork under the hood, and so I wonder if it can be trusted..?
And also, most of the examples on the internet for creating processes use fork/exec, so I wonder if there is some catch with posix_spawn I haven't read about... (since it seems a much simpler way of doing things)

View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Passing Usb_dev_handle After Fork Exec?
Aug 19, 2010I have been struggling with this for about a week now. I'm working with QuickUSB to send video streams to and from a device. I get the fastest results by fork()ing and exec()ing new processes everytime I run a pipeline, which works great when reading from files, but now i have to transition it so that i am reading/writing data over a QuickUSB bus. I have it working for each individual process, but i can't run multiple processes because it won't let me open the device. After looking through QuickUSB's API a little closer, i found that the QHANDLE type that they use to describe the usb device is actually just a usb_dev_handle *. From what i have found, this is an incomplete structure, so i am having trouble with opening it in the main process and passing it to each new process to write to it. I already have semaphores set up to prevent multiple processes using it at the same time. I just CANT find out how to utilize the same usb device between two process that are forked and exec. i also must do the exec() because otherwise my gtk and gstreamer fails for trying to share resources.

Can some provide a list of files/directories that can be excluded (from backup) for RHEL 5?
