Cp $var1 Var2 Doesn't Work

Hi,

I have Redhat 5.3 running on my machine. But when I am login through putty it gives me below error.
Without running any grep command I get this error on login and the grep command doesn't work.

login as: root

Trying to work with gnuplot in Ubuntu 12.04 I run into confusing comments about binary vs. ASCII files. Take this as an example for instance. Looking for a good explanation I open this link. It is an outstanding sample of confusion and obfuscation. My own understanding is that binary is an executable file and ASCII is a source file. With gnuplot it is all upside down. I am confused.

Thanks,- A.

hello everyone,
I created a script file (info.sh) in linux centos 6.
location of file is '/etc/init.d/info.sh'
content of file is:

#!/bin/sh
#To get the MAC address
ifconfig | grep HWaddr
#To get the HDD serial no.
hdparm -I /dev/sd? | grep 'Serial\ Number'
#To get the HDD size
hdparm -I /dev/sda |grep "device size"

gave the permission by: chmod 777 /etc/init.d/info.sh
but when i run this file by: /etc/init.d/info.sh
it gives an error like...
-bash: /etc/init.d/info: cannot execute binary file

what should i do?? Actually i have to run this file during boot up..

thanks in advance..

Hi everyone

long story short

i copied a file using netcat from one server to another but the file is not in the location it should be.

Curently i have a "find" command running in order to get the file but the disk is 3Tb and will take ages till it finds it.

Is there any other way i could figure out where this file is?

Can i repeat the copy procedure with netcat and while the copy is in progress to find out where the file is? maybe with some sort of "lsof"

Maybe verbosing netcat?

Thanks

I have a bash script executing on an AIX server to a windows share directory to update a windows text file. Most of the file is edited as expected but I have 3 issues that I am not sure how to resolve.

1. Windows text file contains a double backslash (\\) and the \\ is being written back as a single \ which corrupts the file.
2. I am not getting the last line of text in the file written back out.
3. Some lines of text are not written back out completely.

Here is a snippet of my bash script:
cp $Directory/Somefile $Directory/Somefile.$(date +'%Y%m%d')
cat /dev/null > ${HOME}/temp.out

while read -r inpLine; do
patternFound=n
echo ${inpLine} | grep -q 'SOMEPATTERN='
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
patternFound=y
echo "##${inpLine}" >> ${HOME}/temp.out
echo "SOMEPATTERN=newValue" >> ${HOME}/temp.out
fi

if [ ${patternFound} = "n" ]; then
echo ${inpLine} >> ${HOME}/temp.out
fi

done < $Directory/Somefile
mv ${HOME}/temp.out $Directory/Somefile

When I run the .cmd file in the cluster I am getting an error message as

/bin/bash: : No such file or directory

The below is the PBS script in the .cmd file

#! /bin/bash
#PBS -o logfile.log
#PBS -e errorfile.err
#PBS -l cput=740:00:00
#PBS -l select=2:ncpus=8
tpdir=`echo $PBS_JOBID | cut -f 1 -d .`
tempdir=$HOME/work/job$tpdir
mkdir -p $tempdir
cd $tempdir
cp -R $PBS_O_WORKDIR/* .
fluent 2ddp -g -t16 -pib -cnf=$PBS_NODEFILE -ssh -i srik.jou >> out
mv ../job$tpdir $PBS_O_WORKDIR/.

Please help me to figure out the problem.

This is my script and the syntax to run this script is give ip and next will be the file or script you want to perform on remote server



#!/bin/bash

# The private key used to identify this machine
IDENTITY_KEY=/home/adnew.pem

syntax()
{
echo "Syntax: Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile]"
echo "For example: ./Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile"
exit 1
}

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo not enough arguments
syntax
fi


echo "Running script $2 on $1"
ssh -ttq -i $IDENTITY_KEY ec2-user@$1 sudo -i 'bash -s' < $2
exit
exit
echo "Done"



on script file i have give for testing

touch /root/test
ls /root/test
exit
exit

it makes the file but do not show the ls output by giving error


tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

exit


what I have to do ??

I would like to learn how to create a zip file. The word zip file is a Windows/Microsoft word. I do not know what word is used in Linux OS.
What I am trying to do is send a copy of an internet radio show. The show is two hours long. When I try to attach the audio file to an email. I am told the file is too large.
I have permission from the host of the radio show to make a copy and send it to a friend.

The RHEL installation guide says:

The kickstart file should be on a
separate flash memory drive to the boot media.

Why is this?

If I want to have the minimal boot media, the kickstart file and the complete installation software on the same USB drive, is it not possible?

How do I point to the kickstart file on the USB drive if it has a file system and the kickstart file is not a raw copy but a file on the file system?

I have two files which has exact same number of lines.
I want first line of first file should be filename of new file and content of this new file should be first line of second file.
Then second line of first file should be filename of again new file and content of this new file should be second line of second file.
then third line of first file should be filename of again new file and content of this new file should be third line of second file.
and so on...
I am trying to do it using for loop but I am not able to create two for loops.
This is what I have done
Code:

IFS=$'\n'
var=$(sed 's/\"http\(.*\)\/\(.*\).wav\"\,\".*/\2/g' 1797.csv) # filenames of all files
var2=$(sed 's/\"http\(.*\)\/\(.*\).wav\"\,\"\(.*\)\"$/\3/g' 1797.csv) # contents of all files
for j in $var;
do
#Here I do not know how to use $var2
done

Please help.
