This is probably trivial, but I'm quite new to Linux and I was unable to find any info online.
In a folder, I can execute the command find . -regex '.*py' and get the following result:
./.#netMHC3.2.py
Is this a file in the current directory? What can I do to display its contents?
Thank you
What would the best Linux operating system for hosting a Web/SVN/etc. server? One thing that it needs to have is no windowing system installed by default.
Thanks in advance!
on windows there are several key maps applications that replaces Caps lock with ESC on a single 'press and relase' and with a Control signal if hold and another key is pressed.
Is there any way to do something similar on linux? Ideally on the whole system, but if it is only for X window it is fine too.
i'm currently writting scripts with the xautomation package tools. but i guess there is already a better way to do that via configurations.
Is there any Linux command which remembers directories I changed, and shows its stack with interacting operation to choose a directory such as pushing an arrow key on keyboard? This must be different from the way pushd/popd/dirs do.
What are the advantages / disadvantages of using cooperative linux like portable ubuntu for example compared to a qemu or any other virtual machine installation. Is one option notably faster than the other plus and other things that should be taken into consideration.
I have a linux (CentOS 5.2) server with the name myserver.mycompnay.com, which is correctly returned when I run 'hostname'. When I run 'hostname -s' however it returns "localhost" which is causing some backup scripts to put stuff in a "localhost" directory instead of a "myserver" directory.
All of our other CentOS boxes correctly return the first part of their hostname when 'hostname -s', where do I go on this server to make it behave the same? Other than having "HOSTNAME=myserver.mycompnay.com" in /etc/sysconfig/network what should I be looking at?
We need to setup an intrusion detection system (IDS) on our linux proxy server. Please suggest intrusion detection systems ? anything else than Snort ?
I am interested in a utility or process for monitoring disk IO per file on CentOS.
On Win2008, the resmon utility allows this type of drilldown, but none of the Linux utilities I have found do this (iostat, iotop, dstat, nmon).
My interest in monitoring IO bottlenecks on database servers. With MSSQL, I have found it an informative diagnostic to know which files / filespaces are getting hit the hardest.
After very few issues only I moved my application from Python2 to Python3 making sure it will still run with Python 2.7, and hence has python = 2.7 as dependency only.
This was mainly done because Python3, and some dependencies are not installed in a default 12.04 LTS, and I do not want my users to have to install all Python3 only to run my script.
When I create an appname.desktop launcher I now need to decide if it starts my application using Python2, or Python3 like
EXEC=python /path/app.py
EXEC=python3 /path/app.py
But what I would like it to do is to
Launch the application with the Python3 interpreter if Python3 is installed.
Otherwise use Python2 if Python3 is not installed.
How can this be done? Do I need to tell it in my package installation script, or can I have a launcher which can handle both (in case people install Python3 after they had installed my script)?
Does anyone know of a program/script that runs on Linux that can give us a nice GUI for browsing and managing shared system folders similar in the way that windows explorer would work?
So would allow, upload, download, file modification etc. It's a way to still have access to all our files stored on the system from any location with internet access.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I need to set up a linux network: central authentication server and laptops (maybe desktops). Laptops must cache credentials. What is the current best way to do that? Can kerberos be coerced into doing that? Should I install Samba WAD equivalent and use likewise?
Hi,
is there a way to provide post-mount and pre-umount scripts in Linux ?
I am trying to do some scripts on storage media when mounted and before umounting (for synching).
Any help appreciated.
Every time my computer (Gentoo linux) reboots the clock is several hours off:
/etc/localtime is set for the correct timezone
/etc/conf.d/clock lists the correct timezone
running sntp -r 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org fixes the problem... until reboot
setting the time manually using date also fixes the problem... until reboot
The System clock is set to UTC
This is starting to drive me nuts :(
Is there any way to coax Gmail into pushing new-mail notifications into my Linux machine, without using a full-on graphical mail client like Thunderbird?
edit: Thanks for all the responses, but (unless I'm mistaken) these applications all poll, none of them receive notifications pushed from GMail.
Also, I'd prefer a console-based program, as this will be running on a headless server.
I don't have a subscription for RHEL anymore and I want to update my server. Can anyone tell me How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 using CentOS Repos ?
Hi, What is the best way to install software in a linux machine if you dont have root permissions. I know that we can use few variables like PKG_CONFIG_PATH and switches like --prefix with configure to get a software installed in a local directory, but sometimes when there are recursive dependencies it is becoming tough for me to install all the packages manually. Is there a better automated way?
Update: What i meant by recursive dependencies is: to install package A, i should install package B, which in turn requires package C to be installed
I'm looking for some software forLinux which will allow me to write and take my own quizzes. I want to have a way to test people about their technical knowledge. I'm looking for free software... any recommendations?
hi,
i will get an ibm x3500 in the next days and wondered which linux i should use. i tend to use ubuntu 10.04 server, haven't heard anything bad about it and i'm a big debian fan.
there will be a raid 5 powered by the ibm hardware raid controller (don't know which one). is it possible to monitor and manage it wit hthe ubuntu 10.04 server distro? or should i go another way and choose something like redhat (haven't used it though...)?
thanks in advance

How can I change the first byte of multiple files in Linux? Willing to use perl/awk/sed/whatever. Must work correctly on binary files (i.e. not change any other bytes).
I know that this laptop (Asus UL30A) does support playing HD material with the help of the GPU on windows. The question is how can I do this under linux? The CPU load as is implies that this is not activated. I assume that it's limited to a handful of codecs. But which player supports this, if its even supported at all?
