I have a good script to rename multiple files, but what's the best way I can remove some text from multiple filenames? Say I have a directory with 35 files with a .XLS at the end, how can I rename them to remove the .XLS but keep everything the same, without having to mv manually. Thanks. (6 Replies)
I am in the process of learning how to do system administration (just on my own Linux machine) and have been working with the find command. One of the things I tried was
find / -nouser -o -nogroup
I redirected the output of my find query into a text file, and when I did a wc -l on it, it... (1 Reply)

Hi,
How would you write bash script that given a directory as an argument and finds all duplicate files (with same contents - by using bytewise comparison) there and prints their names? (6 Replies)

dh_usrlocal
DH_USRLOCAL(1) Debhelper DH_USRLOCAL(1)NAME
dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts
SYNOPSIS
dh_usrlocal [debhelperoptions] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed.
It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets
(unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with
Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of
debhelper maintainer script snippets.
If the directories found in the build tree have unusual owners, groups, or permissions, then those values will be preserved in the
directories made by the postinst script. However, as a special exception, if a directory is owned by root.root, it will be treated as if it
is owned by root.staff and is mode 2775. This is useful, since that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local.
OPTIONS -n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 2.2
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
