I am searching for multiple files in total linux server using shell script, But find command generally searches for the entire server for the files.
which is taking more time for searching. is there any way we can write shell script where it needs to search for multiple files. if any of the file matching with search it needs to stop searching again for it.
Example : I am looking for a1 r3 y7 files in the entire server.
If i use find syntax like below
Code:
find . -type f \( -name "a1" -o -name "*r3" \)
so will it search for "a1" file in entire server and then starts looking for "r3" ?
will it search for multiple files at a time ?.

Hi all,
In the process of creating CPU reports.
I've already used `sar` to create a daily file, then monthly reports for CPU usage (which is averaged across all 4 CPU's).
I've now used `cpusar -P ?`(?=CPU#) to collect individual CPU data and have four files for each day which is great.

Is there any better way of doing this? I only want to find a status of a diff, ie diff the file and return to me whether it is different or not or non-existant.
This example works, however I think it could be less messier:
workd=`pwd`;find $workd -name "*.sum" | while read line ; do... (1 Reply)
Hi!
Can someone explain me exactly this technique? Why a process (PARENT) creates a copy of itself with FORK (CHILD)? What's the reason of this behaviour? Sorry, but I cannot understand the logic behind it.
Thanks. (4 Replies)

Hi all,
I am working on a sample backup code, where i read the files per 7200 bytes and send it to server. Before sending to server, i compress each 7200 bytes using zlib compression algorithm using dictionary max length of 1.5 MB . I find zlib is slow.
Can anyone recommend me a... (3 Replies)

smbtar
SMBTAR(1)SMBTAR(1)NAME
smbtar - shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives
SYNOPSIS
smbtar -s server [ -p password ] [ -x services ] [ -X ] [ -d directory ] [ -u user ] [ -t tape ] [ -t tape ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -N
filename ] [ -i ] [ -r ] [ -l loglevel ] [ -v ] filenames
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
smbtar is a very small shell script on top of smbclient(1) which dumps SMB shares directly to tape.
OPTIONS -s server
The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon.
-x service
The share name on the server to connect to. The default is "backup".
-X Exclude mode. Exclude filenames... from tar create or restore.
-d directory
Change to initial directory before restoring / backing up files.
-v Verbose mode.
-p password
The password to use to access a share. Default: none
-u user
The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
-t tape
Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: $TAPE environmental variable; if not set, a file called tar.out .
-b blocksize
Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.
-N filename
Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups.
-i Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.
-r Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.
-l log level
Log (debug) level. Corresponds to the -d flag of smbclient(1) .
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The $TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May be overridden with the -t option.
BUGS
The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and tar called from smbclient.
CAVEATS
Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares,
should work on file lists. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may not work well with other versions.
DIAGNOSTICS
See the DIAGNOSTICS section for the smbclient(1)
command.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
Ricky Poulten <URL:mailto:poultenr@logica.co.uk> wrote the tar extension and this man page. The smbtar script was heavily rewritten and
improved by Martin Kraemer <URL:mailto:Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>. Many thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug
fixes, etc. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conver-
sion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter.
