tar symlinks: relative vs absolute

I create the tar file from / like so: tar cEhf name.tar usr/us And this creates the tar with the links intact. The problem is that this tar is going to be used for testing, so we want the links to point to the files in the tar. But when I extract the tar into /tmp, I get /tmp/usr/us/... as I...

Following Symlinks to Actual Script

I need to have my script know what directory it's in, even if it's run from a symlink located elsewhere. Here's what I've come up with, for the benefit of anyone with a similar need, but I'm also interested to know if there's a more elegant solution. I'd rather not get into awk-land, but I couldn't...

Problems using RCP with symlinks. Trying to use CPIO instead

Hello, I have inherited an old Solaris box and I have to copy all of its files onto another machine, a Centos Box. The Solaris box it so ancient is does not have rsync, scp or any other useful copy functions. I tried using RCP but it handles symlinks terribly: Extraneous data is written to my...

httpfs2

HTTPFS2(1)																HTTPFS2(1)

NAME

       httpfs2 - mount a file from a http server into the filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       httpfs2 [OPTIONS] URL FUSE-OPTIONS httpfs2_ssl [OPTIONS] URL FUSE-OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       httpfs2 is a FUSE based filesystem for mounting http or https URLS as files in the filesystem. There is no notion of listable directories
       in http so only a single URL can be mounted. The server must be able to send byte ranges.

OPTIONS

       -c console
	   Attempt to use the file ior device console for output after fork. The default is /dev/console.

       -f
	   Do not fork, stay in foreground.

       -t timeout
	   Use different timeout for connections. Default '30's.

       URL
	   The url should specify the protocol as http or https, and it may specify basic authentication username and password. Currently special
	   characters like whitespace are not handled so the URL cannot contain them. See a sample URL below:

	       http://user:password@server.com/dir/file

       FUSE-OPTIONS
	   These options are passed to the FUSE library. At the very least the mount point should be specified.

EXIT STATUS

       0
	   Successfully connected to the server

       other
	   Failure (url parsing error, server error, FUSE setup error). Some FUSE errors may happen only after the process forks so they will not
	   be returned in exit value.

BUGS

       The process can be stopped by typing ^Z on the terminal which may not be desirable under some circumstances.
