General :: How To Determine What Process Has A File Open

Jan 19, 2010

I'd like to determine what process has ownership of a lock-file. The lock-files are simply a file with a specific name that has been created.So, how can I determine what process has a particular file open in Linux? Preferably a one-liner type or a particular Linux tool solution would be optimal.

General :: How To Determine What File Tripped Up Tar Process

Feb 8, 2010

I am writing, well actually enhancing, a script to do a daily backup of important data on my PC to a second hard drive.I wish to tar my home directory to a single file - and will probably use gzip as well.So I decided to work out the correct tar syntax in a terminal first - here is what happened.I opened a terminal window.I cd to a directory not part of my home directory.I issued the command..Quote: tar -cvf mytar.tar /home/ken tar processed a bunch of files, the last being .netrc.I examined the tar file and it contains .netrc.The contents of .netrc are correct.I scrolled back through the list of files in the terminal window and do not see any error messages.I guess the question is... how do I determine what file tripped up the tar process?

General :: Fedora - Determine Which Process Belongs To Which Window In Monitor?

Feb 26, 2011

I have Fedora Linux 13 64bit system. I use System Monitor to check which process is taking how much memory and cpu. Normally I have dozens of Chrome and Firefox windows open. The Processes tab shows which process is taking how much cpu/ram resources but I unfortunately there is no option like right click and make the window active that matches the PID (the one process that I have currently highlighted). Usually there is a chrome process taking up 30 or 40 percent of CPU while dozens other chrome processes taking much less cpu. I must determine which chrome window ( or any application which has multiple instances running) is taking that much CPU time.

General :: Determine On System Where Process Substitution Creates FIFO Files?

Aug 16, 2011

I'm writing a C++ application and need to work with process substitution in the Bash shell. I'm trying to find a way to validate the paths passed as arguments to my program, some of which point to FIFO files created by process substitution.

Is there a shell (or C++) way that I can check if the system creates these files in /dev/fd or if they are created somewhere else?

General :: Determine Mp3 Length By File Size?

Nov 16, 2010

Multiple dirs full of mp3s All strictly encoded with exactly the same parameters (CBR 128kbps, Joint-Stereo, etc) Is it possible to determine the total playing time (to within ~98% accuracy) by some formula based on the total file size? I say ~98% accurate since ID3 tags do consume a small amount of space.

General :: GRUB Legacy - Unable To Determine The File System Type?

Dec 8, 2010

I had only Arch on an HDD.sda2 was "/".Now it's with Windows XP and sda2 is not a root any more but a container partition wich has sda{5,6,7} in it. I configured the dual boot and it works. It finds Arch and boots it, but not completely. Stops after some time and says: unable to determine the file system type of /dev/sda2. FSTAB is configured, sda{5,6,7} are on their places. So I can't boot Arch. XP boots correctly. What do I do with this error?Also it says: try adding rootfstype=your_filesystem_type to kernel command line.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Determine File Type Of Any Of Video File

Oct 14, 2010

I am writting a script to allow uploading of certain files. I want to limit the files by their filename and mime type, and by making sure the two match up.The first thing I need to do is make sure I've got all the mime types I need added. I have never done this before, but I understand that 'file' (which is what PHP's mime-type finding is based off of) uses magic databases that tell at which point in the file should have signatures of the filetype.

My trouble started when I was unable to determine the filetype of any of my video files. Currently, I have some .MOV and .MP4 files that I am using to test.

General :: Cannot Open File In RW Mode - Filling Root File System With Log Files

Nov 3, 2010

I work for a company that makes portable devices running Linux and I was recently asked to make the underlying file system read-only for "security" purposes. Since the distribution is based on LinuxFromScratch, I know that very little writing happens at run time. So, even if the device runs on a usb flash device, I doubt that putting the root file system RO will be that beneficial. I am actually more concerned about a process actually breaking because it cannot open a file in RW mode than a process going rogue and filling the root file system with log files, etc. I'd really like to ear what kind of advantages disadvantages there really is with read-only file-systems.

General :: (xubuntu) Click On Webpage File And Open File With Emacs?

Aug 26, 2010

I am using xubuntu and there are a few types of files on website that instead of downloading and saving and then opening with emacs, I would rather when the radio button choice comes up say open with emacs. I am using xubuntu with xfce, and there is no line for a command to be entered as some ubuntu editions have. In the choice of changing the opening program from mousepad to something else, it says search and allows to navigate to find a program, but I cant find emacs anywhere not in etc/ or elsewhere. So where is its executable to direct the program chooser to?
