Inotifywait restart script prevents reboot when started
Hi, maybe someone could help me optimizing this little script.
It works so far, but when running, reboot does not work. If kill inotifywait reboot from shell works. I think some optimization is required here.
This script starts at the end of the boot process, from an external device and starts a binary, logging the output, then inotify watches the config file, if changed it kills the binary and starts it again logging its output.
Hi. I am just getting into scripting. I came into a situation where I need to go through several hundred files on a Linux system and find a couple specific bits of information from within each file. All the files have pretty much identical content except for a view data values on the same two lines... (4 Replies)

Hi,
I am using inotifywait to monitor a directory where files are being transferred into.
I want inotifywait to tell me when a file has been completely transferred not just part of it.
I tried "create", "close" and "close_write" but it seems that inotifywait always gets triggered even if the... (4 Replies)
Is there a way to get my script to only trigger when a .ppt is created?

So, this is weird... I'm running this command:
iotop -o -P -k -bt -d 5
I'd like to save the output relelvant to rsyslogd to a file, so I do this:
iotop -o -P -k -bt -d 5 | grep rsyslogd >> /var/log/rsyslogd
Nothing is written to the file! I can write the full output to the file:

It looks like if matching and deleting the last line confuses 'sed' so it does not recognize '$' address. Consider:
sed -e '/^3/d' -e '$ a text'
supposed to delete a line starting with '3' and then append 'text' after the last line of input. But, if it is the last line of input which starts... (2 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT MINIX
reboot
REBOOT(2) System Calls Manual REBOOT(2)NAME
reboot - close down the system or reboot
SYNTAX
#define _MINIX_SOURCE 1
#include <unistd.h>
int reboot(int how, ...)
DESCRIPTION
Reboot() is used to close down the system. It allows several ways of shutting down depending on how:
reboot(RBT_HALT)
Halt the system and return to the monitor prompt.
reboot(RBT_REBOOT)
Reboot the system by letting the monitor execute the "boot" command.
reboot(RBT_PANIC)
Cause a system panic. This is not normally done from user mode, but by servers using the sys_abort() kernel call.
reboot(RBT_MONITOR, code, length)
Halt the system and let the monitor execute the given code of the given length. (code is of type char * and length of type size_t.)
reboot(RBT_RESET)
Reboot the system with a hardware reset.
Reboot() may only be executed by the super-user.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the call succeeds, it never returns. If something went wrong, the return value is -1 and an error is indicated by errno.
SEE ALSO shutdown(8), reboot(8), halt(8), sync(1).
NOTES
Minix can not return to the monitor if running in real mode, or if started from MS-DOS. This means that most of the reboot functions will
change to a reset.
