I wanted to trim my logfiles when they reach 5kb(I am using for testing so i took less bytes)and i want 3 backups. this way i followed
vim /etc/newsyslogd/wifi.conf
# logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when flags [/pid_file] [sig_num]
/var/log/wifi.log 640 3 5 *
And when i test it by giving
newsyslog -nvv
rm -f /var/log/wifi.log.3
rm -f /var/log/wifi.log.3.gz
rm -f /var/log/wifi.log.3.bz2
ln /var/log/wifi.log /var/log/wifi.log.0
chmod 640 /var/log/entreda_macagent.log.0
chown 4294967295:80 /var/log/wifi.log.0
Start new log...
mktemp /var/log/wifi.log.zXXXXXX
chown 4294967295:80 /var/log/wifi.log.zXXXXXX
chmod 640 /var/log/wifi.log.zXXXXXX
mv /var/log/wifi.log.zXXXXXX /var/log/wifi.log
Signal all daemon process(es)...
kill -1 83411 # /var/run/syslog.pid
sleep 10
But when i check for trimmed files in /var/log
They are not appearing. Please help me to debug and suggest me better way to do logtrotation
They will appear but with some delay

rm -r .git
rm -r .git --force
I get the following and there seems to be a never ending supply after I enter 'yes' and move to the next.
override r--r--r-- redacted/staff for .git/objects/95/90087aa4b351e278e6e53ff6240045ab2db6d1?
Analysis and explanation:
The message override r--r--r-- ...? is seen in some versions of the rm command when you try to delete a file or files with the rm command that have write access removed.
To reproduce:
▶ mkdir -p foo/{bar,baz} ; touch foo/bar/qux
▶ chmod -R -w foo
▶ find foo -ls
4305147410 0 dr-xr-xr-x 4 alexharvey wheel 128 24 Mar 18:19 foo
4305147412 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 alexharvey wheel 64 24 Mar 18:19 foo/baz
4305147411 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 alexharvey wheel 96 24 Mar 18:19 foo/bar
4305147413 0 -r--r--r-- 1 alexharvey wheel 0 24 Mar 18:19 foo/bar/qux
Now if you try to delete these files you'll be asked if you really want to override this file mode:
▶ rm -r foo
override r-xr-xr-x alexharvey/wheel for foo/baz?
Note also that if you are on Mac OS X or other BSD variant, as appears to be the case, then you have specified the --force argument incorrectly by adding it to the end of the command line, where it will be interpreted as the name of an additional file to delete.
But even if I correct that, -f still can't override r--r--r--. Instead, you would see this:
▶ rm -rf foo
rm: foo/baz: Permission denied
rm: foo/bar/qux: Permission denied
rm: foo/bar: Permission denied
rm: foo: Directory not empty
The fix:
To fix this, firstly restore the write permission within the folder:
▶ chmod -R +w foo
Then rm -r should work fine:
▶ rm -r foo
▶ ls foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory

source code for BSD rm here.
if you want to delete directories in git, just log in to sudo:
$ sudo rm -r file-name
rm -rf .folder
does the trick without spending extra time setting parameters
In Ubuntu I could run truncate -s 0 /var/log/*/* &> /dev/null to clear all the log files in /var/log/ dir and directories under that in one command
But in centos, it doesn't work. Instead I have to run truncate -s 0 /var/log/* &> /dev/null ; truncate -s 0 /var/log/*/* &> /dev/null to clear the /var/log/ dir and then clear the dirs under /var/log/
I believe it should be straight forward but either I am having a bad day or I simply can't find what I am looking for.
Please help.
I need to run following commands in MAC Terminal in order to get rid of following entries:
sudo rm -Rf /Applications/Network\ Connect.app
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSApplicationServices.framework
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSCoreServices.framework
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSNetworkDiagnostics.framework
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-ins/net.juniper.DSSafariExtensions.plugin
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Widgets/Network\ Connect.wdgt
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/juniper
sudo rm -Rf /private/var/db/receipts/net.juniper.NetworkConnect.bom
sudo rm -Rf /private/var/db/receipts/net.juniper.NetworkConnect.plist
sudo rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/ncproxyd.plist
It does it's job but it's not exactly elegant. I was also thinking about providing this to my colleagues so I wanted to create some sort of .bat file for MAC.
I really spent about half day trying to figure it out but it doesn't work :(
Can somebody help me to create a .sh file or bash file which will do execute the commands above?
Create a script file, let's say it's called deletion.sh and add the lines: -
#!/bin/bash
rm -Rf /Applications/Network\ Connect.app
rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSApplicationServices.framework
rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSCoreServices.framework
rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/net.juniper.DSNetworkDiagnostics.framework
rm -Rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-ins/net.juniper.DSSafariExtensions.plugin
rm -Rf /Library/Widgets/Network\ Connect.wdgt
rm -Rf /usr/local/juniper
rm -Rf /private/var/db/receipts/net.juniper.NetworkConnect.bom
rm -Rf /private/var/db/receipts/net.juniper.NetworkConnect.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/ncproxyd.plist
Then, in terminal you need to set the executable flag to the script: -
chmod +x deletion.sh
Note that the executable flag may be removed when the script is copied to another machine or network drive, so you may have to do that after copying.
Finally, you can call the script with sudo
sudo ./deletion.sh
If you want to create a batch file, you have one. That list of commands is your shell script. To execute it, just save hem into a file add the bash command to the front of that file's name:
$ bash commands_I_want_to_execute.txt
If you want to get fancy, you can put a shebang on the top and set the execution bit using chmod. That will make your script a real shell script.
However, in order for your shell script to be found, you need to either prefix it with a path, or put it in a directory that's included in your PATH. Here, I'll just prefix it:
$ chmod a+x commands_I_want_to_execute.txt # Suffix doesn't really matter. It's executable
$ ./commands_I_want_to_execute.txt # Now this will be executed
If you are really bothered by the suffix, change it with the mv command:
$ mv commands_I_want_to_execute.txt commands_I_want_to_execute.sh
NOTE: If you create a file with Text Edit, create it as a plain text file and not as a RTF file.
First I want to say that I don't really know what I should look for, here in Stack Overflow and what could be a good query for my problem.
In simple words I want to create a new directory and than do some file operations in it. But with the script that I have crafted I got always a file instead of a directory. It seems to be absolutely regardless how I stick the code together there is always the same result. I hope tat masses can help me with their knowledge.
Here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
DLURL=http://drubuntu.googlecode.com/git'
d7dir=/var/www/d7/'
dfsettings=/var/www/d7/sites/default/default.settings.php
settings=/var/www/d7/sites/default/settings.php
#settiing up drush
drush -y dl drush --destination=/usr/share;
#Download and set up drupal
cd /var/www/;
drush -y dl drupal;
mkdir "$d7dir"; #this is the line that always produces a file instead a directory
# regardless if it is replaced by the variable or entered as
# /var/www/d7
cd /var/www/drup*;
cp .htaccess .gitignore "$d7dir";
cp -r * "$d7dir";
cd "$d7dir";
rm -r /var/www/drup*;
mkdir "$d7dir"sites/default/files;
chmod 777 "$d7dir"sites/default/files;
cp "$dfsettings" "$settings";
chmod 777 "$settings";
chown $username:www-data /var/www/d7/.htaccess;
wget -O $d7dir"setupsite $DLURL/scripts/setupsite.sh; > /dev/null 2>&1
chmod +x /var/www/setupsite;
echo "Login Details following...";
read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to continue...";
bash "$d7dir"setupsite;
chown -Rh $username:www-data /var/www;
chmod 644 $d7dir".htaccess;
chmod 644"$settings";
chmod 644"$dfsettings";
exit
I hope someone got the reason for that.
There are many way to debug a shell-scripting.
Add set -x in your beginning script
Get the return value.
mkdir 'the-directory'
ret=$?
if test $ret -eq 0; then
echo 'Create success.'
else
echo 'Failed to create.'
fi
Set to verbose mode $ mkdir -v 'the-directory'
Try this command $ type mkdir, to checking mkdir command.
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp
curl -O http://www.mucommander.com/download/nightly/mucommander-current.app.tar.gz /tmp/mucommander.tgz
tar -xvzf /tmp/mucommander.tgz */mucommander.app/*
cp -r /tmp/mucommander.app /Applications
rm -r /tmp
I'm trying to create a shell script to download and extract muCommander to my applications directory on a Mac.
I tried cd into the tmp dir, but then the script stops when I do that.
I can extract all using the -C argument, but the current tgz path is muCommander-0_9_0/mucommander.app, which could change on later builds, so I'm trying to keep it generic.
Can anyone give me pointers where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Strip the first path component when you untar the archive, from tar(1):
--strip-components count
(x mode only) Remove the specified number of leading path ele-
ments. Pathnames with fewer elements will be silently skipped.
Note that the pathname is edited after checking inclusion/exclu-
sion patterns but before security checks.
Update
Here is a working bash example of how to, fairly generically, copy the contents of the tgz file to /Applications.
shopt -s nocaseglob
TMPDIR=/tmp
APP=mucommander
TMPAPPDIR=$TMPDIR/$APP
mkdir -p $TMPAPPDIR
curl -o $TMPDIR/$APP.tgz http://www.mucommander.com/download/nightly/mucommander-current.app.tar.gz
tar --strip-components=1 -xvzf $APP.tgz -C $TMPAPPDIR
mv $TMPAPPDIR/${APP}* /Applications
# rm -rf $TMPAPPDIR $TMPDIR/$APP
The rm command is commented out for now, verify that it does no harm before you use it.
The following will update your muCommander.
#for the safety, remove old temporary extraction from the /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/muCommander.app
#kill the running mucommander - you dont want replace the runnung app
ps -ef | grep ' /Applications/muCommander.app/' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
#download, extract, remove old, move new, open
#each command run only when the previous ended with success
curl http://www.mucommander.com/download/nightly/mucommander-current.app.tar.gz |\
tar -xzf - -C /tmp --strip-components=1 '*/muCommander.app' && \
rm -rf /Applications/muCommander.app && \
mv /tmp/muCommander.app /Applications && \
open /Applications/muCommander.app
Beware, after the '\' must following new line, and not any spaces...
