Has anyone else had problems using the --link-dest flag? I do what it says in the example rsync -a --delete --link-dest=/home/chamberl/oldbk/ /home/chamberl/source/ /home/chamberl/backup/ I make sure that /home/chamberl/source has some files exactly the same as in /home/chamberl/oldbk/ but evertything gets copiued, and no hard links are done (though they should be). Anyone know the problem?

I am looking for something similar to the windows SEARCH FILES comman with the option "files containing ..." (that is where I can specify a string and it will find all files containing that string -- not just having the string as part of the name but actually containing it in the text). Is there some way to do this?

...ad. For some reason I never got the mail.

Hello I need to know a way to have scp allocate a tty on a remote machine so I can have it run sudo and activate a vpn which it will need to activate. scp with "-S" does not work. I can't chmod +s the cisco vpn client because when I try to run it it says it can not have setuser. I could have the user scp via root but I do not want to do that. Any way to have scp allocate a tty?

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly", then daily.6 gets moved to weekly.0 The next time daily runs, 5 will move to 6,

I have a shell script, /usr/bin/joevpn, which does a quick VPN connect. Basically (HOST and DOFIL are defined above and are correct. I just did not list them here) case "$1" in start) date > $DOFIL while [ -f $DOFIL ] do echo y | /usr/local/bin/vpnclient connect $HOST sleep 10 done ;; #

Another question about find. I looked at the gnome tool and tried to simulate what it is doing. I can't use it directly because it won't do sed. Basically I want to find all files with a string (except binary) and change it. let STR be the string I am looking for. NEW is new string. I am doing TFIL=/usr/tmp/dummy$$.txt find . -type f | while read fil do grep "$STR"

I am currently running CentOS 4.5 (which, through many Yum updates) now appears to be CentOD 4.8. 4.8 is still rather old, but I havbe lots of stuff (files and stuff installed). I would like to install Fedora but I am worried about losing all the stuff I have. I would have to back everything up, uninstall/reinstall things, etc. I am wondering whether there is some way to upgrade to Fedora from

I made a file partition-ks.cfg and put it in our machine 192.168.5.17 under /var/www/html. When I install a new machine I just do a linux ks=http://192.168.5.17/partition-ks.cfg I have a couple questions though: 1) I have the following in it: clearpart --all part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part /var --fstype ext3 --size=10000 part / --fstype ext3 --size=10000

Not sure if there is a DHCPD/PXE forum so I will ask here. I have been trying to get netboot to work (i.e. a machine with nothing on it but a NIC card, no linux, no operating system, whatever) boots up and receives a file from a dhcp server. This dhcp server gives it all the Linux stuff it needs so a full install can be done over the network. I actually got this working by turning my desktop

I am looking for the optimal VPN. Well it doens't have to be that elaborate. Just the best VPN. We currently have some customers using PPTP, some using openvpn, some using Cisco Any Connect and there are a few others. So my question is, if you have control of both ends (client and server) what is the best VPN to use? There are not too many requirements, but a big one is The VPN must return

I am having a problem with 5.4 that I did not have with 4.5. The problem happens only sometimes but in specific instances. Basically a summary of the problem is that certain network transactions timeout. The specfic instances are with wget, rpm, http. The problem usually, but not always, occurs with pptp stuff. (NOT running pptp but getting pptp stuff). For instance, the following command, which

A while ago I sent mail about wanting to find all files that had a certain text string in it and changing it to something else. People mentioned that there is a system tool to do it (gnome has it too). I ran this, for example to find all files WITH "prog" in the name, and then I did a ps and I saw simply find . -iname '*prog*' then I did something similar, all file names

Hello I am trying to sync via NTP locally (since I have no Internet access). None of the NTP stuff I read on the net seems to work right. I mean it works fine setting up a client going to something like 0.pool.ntp.org but when I want to make my LInux box a server, and I do an ntpdate to it from another machine, it says no suitable server found. I have tried every possible combination of

I am using Cent OS 4.6 and a USB speaker (no sound card but USB speaker works fine). Problem is, if I use something like xine or realplay and then later want to visit youtube through firefox, the youtube sound won't work, because even though I exited xine or realplay somehow it still has control of the sound device. Someone in fedora list suggested pulse audio but I can't get that

Thanks for the responses. I think this is what I want to do. I commented out #Defaults requiretty in /etc/sudo. But what I really wanted to do was just place it in VPNUSERS: %vpnusers ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/service myciscovpn start, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn stop, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn status, \ /usr/bin/mycisco,

I just installed wine and am having trouble installing. I get the message The authority of the current user is limited.
