Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to search all subdirectories? Post 71771 by zazzybob on Sunday 15th of May 2005 12:31:07 AM

But what happens when your chief exec has a legitimate file called "core" in his or her home directory that contains their core budget proposals for the year?

Far safer to do something like....
Code:
find /some/path/here -name "core" -type f -exec file {} \; | 
	awk -F: '/core file/ {print $1}' | xargs -t rm

You might need to change the awk depending on your OS

If you keep seeing a core file dumped in the same place time after time (and you can't fix the application thats generating itself directly), just
Code:
>/path/to/core
chmod 400 /path/to/core

This will truncate the core file to 0 bytes, and then make it read only - now when the core dumps, it won't be able to overwrite this file and the core file will remain at 0 bytes. Sloppy but it works...

Cheers

nissetup

nissetup(1M)                                              System Administration Commands                                              nissetup(1M)

NAME

       nissetup - initialize a NIS+ domain

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nis/nissetup [-Y] [domain]

DESCRIPTION

       nissetup  is  a shell script that sets up a NIS+ domain to service clients that wish to store system administration information in a domain
       named domain. This domain should already exist prior to executing this command. See nismkdir(1) and nisinit(1M).

       A NIS+ domain consists of a  NIS+ directory and its subdirectories: org_dir and groups_dir. org_dir stores system  administration  informa-
       tion and  groups_dir stores information for group access control.

       nissetup  creates the subdirectories  org_dir and  groups_dir in  domain. Both subdirectories will be replicated on the same servers as the
       parent domain. After the subdirectories are created,  nissetup creates  the  default  tables  that  NIS+  serves.  These  are  auto_master,
       auto_home,  bootparams,  cred,  ethers, group, hosts, mail_aliases, netmasks, networks, passwd, protocols, rpc, services, and timezone. The
       nissetup script uses the nistbladm(1) command to create these tables. The script can be easily customized to add site specific tables  that
       are created at setup time.

       This command is normally executed just once per domain.

       While this command creates the default tables, it does not initialize them with data. This is accomplished with the  nisaddent(1M) command.

       It is easier to use the nisserver(1M) script to create subdirectories and the default tables.

OPTIONS

       -Y       Specify  that the domain will be served as both a NIS+ domain as well as an NIS domain using the backward compatibility flag. This
                will set up the domain to be less secure by making all the system tables readable by unauthenticated clients as well.
