man modules.conf doesn't work on my system unfortunately.

But that's okay. the earlier suggestion about what to read was very helpful. I'm working my way through that, and believe the solution...

I have the root password for my box, but I'm ignorant.

So, every time I start my computer, I have to run this command

/sbin/modprobe fuse

as su, so that I can do other stuff (like mount...

I want to delete the file "b" as hartmantest user.

It has write permission for the "users" group, and this user is a member of that group. So, why can't I delete this file?


$ ls -l

oh this is ugly. I figured out why though.

$ echo DBI DBH | grep -i DB[IH]
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1
$ echo DBI DBH | grep -i DB[IH]
DBI DBH

Is grep -i (case insensitive) broken? If not, can someone explain to me why the third grep fails with no output?

$ echo DBI DBH | grep DB[IH]
DBI DBH

$ echo dbi dbh | grep -i 'DB[IH]'

No, I had it running every minute.

no, I had it running every minute.

Suse 10.1. Cron is running, as confirmed by pgrep cron.

For a user, I do crontab -e, specify a time 2 or so minutes in the future (with time measured with the `date` command).

Crontab -l gives...

I'm getting to grips with this concept of the umask.

What I thought was, setting umask uga+rwx would result in creating files with all permissions for everyone. Seems not to be the case though....

Below an example of what I mean. The first attempt does what I want; the second doesn't, because bash assumes a line break means the end of an individual "command unix". Is there some way that I can...

When I've got a long or hard to type file name, the following is something I like to do for convenience.

$export a=someReallyLongFileName; touch $a; chown hartmann $a
$ls

Within a script, I want to switch perl executable. I can do this within .bashrc with the alias feature, but the following didn't work when I tried it within a bash script.

Can someone explain the following? I can use find on *.pm without quotes, but find on *.pl makes on error, I need quotes for the second version. What's up with that?


$find -name *.pm...

Hi, unixers, I'm doing something like

find -type f -name '*.gif' | xargs rm &
find -type f -user root | xargs chown idealo &
wait
#do more stuff

on a very large dir. I'm thinking this would...

Thanks for pointing that out.

I hadn't really thought about portability, but I am going to try be more "portably" correct.

In terms of portability, I am assuming that the posix definition...

UPDATE: Sorry, disregard this.

It did work, I made a mistake; I just shouldn't have been using maxdepth.

I do think it is good to know, however, that

find | grep '#' | xargs rm

will...

maxdepth 0 has maximum of one line of output -- TITS. (Try It To See)

maxdepth -1 outputs the contents of one directories, without recursing into subdirs.

At least, seems that way to me ;)
...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but seems to me if all you want to do is prevent recursing into subdirectories you could also do this with

find -maxdepth 1

UPDATE: I think I may have a culprit. I had KDE console history to unlimited, and since there's a lot of output... I'm thinking that may be it. I'd still like to hear advice on how to figure out why...

In the below artificially simplified script, I want to wait till after a, b, and c have been printed, before printing "finished."

If you just want to wait on a single background process, you can...

Below script complains about remove, because the find that pipes into it has no results. It's okay operationally, but a bad error message.

I would like to first check whether find had any output,...

Thanks klashxx. I had to replace "ksh" with bash and it worked for me.

It's pretty hard for me to understand, but I will study it and work on my bash fu :)

# this works
# creates two.txt
(echo one;echo two;echo three;) | (

I want to do something like

#!/bin/bash

and then continue working in this directory.

Right now if I execute a script "myscript" containing the above, it just...
