I thought this worked. Many web pages tell you it works. But bash is ignoring tabs in my here docs. Worst, where there are two tabs, it is functioning as a command expand in bash, where all files in the current directory are listed to complete the command. The following is the here doc I am using. Most likely the tabs will be converted to spaces in this email. But the bottom line is,

I am used to using the replace command to quickly replace strings in file, but it's not available on some of my fresh CentOS 5.4 servers. "yum info replace", "yum whatprovides replace", and "yum search replace" doesn't show me which package(s) to install to get it. So, does anyone know which package to install to get the "replace" command? Google

i need your feedback about this command, it should find a string in multiple html files in a directory and replace it with a different string... find /dir -name "*.html" -exec sed -i 's/"old"/"new"/g' {} \; Thx.

Greetings all- My apologies for the slightly OT post. My primary production platform *IS* CentOS 5.x with a minor scattering of 4.x machines behind firewalls here and there... I find that I'm being placed more and more into a 'quasi-developer' role which strays some from my normal system/network admin duties. Specifically, having to work with the deep internals of make, autoconf,

I am looking at options for VPN connections from iPhones and iPod Touches to CentOS systems. We use OpenVPN for connections with Windows, Mac OS X, and other Linux systems, but there don't appear to be any OpenVPN clients for iPhones (presumably because there are no tun/tap interfaces available yet). My experiences getting IPsec running on CentOS systems with OpenVPN have not been pretty.

Is there a way to have rsync not treat files that have gone missing (e.g. Maildir messages that have been removed) as errors while indicating I/O errors and such?

My Centos 5.2 box shuts itself down during a long tar -x. There is plenty of disk available. This is new; it worked in the past. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike.

Hi does anyone know what the problem here is [root at dnstest lib]# ps ps: error while loading shared libraries: libproc-3.2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root at dnstest lib]# ln -s libproc-3.2.7.so libproc-3.2.3.so [root at dnstest lib]# ps ps: /lib/libproc-3.2.3.so: version `_3_1_14' not found (required by ps) as far as I know only ps is

I am attempting to use libvirtd/kvm on CentOS 5.latest to migrate a SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a VM from the old VMware server. I have converted the multiple vmdk disk files to a single file, then used qemu-img convert to create files for libvirtd, both qcow2 and raw formats. After many attempts to get this working I'm up against what appears to be a brick wall. + The VMware VMs are using

I am attempting to create a simple line chart graphing three columns from a soffice-calc spreadsheet. I expect it to take the leftmost column as the X-Axis, plotting the others on the Y-Axis, but it always creates an X-Axis of the row number in the columns, and the first column amongst the data. I have tried this on OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, NeoOffice(R) 3.0.2 Patch 2, iWork Pages, and Excel 12.2.4

Is there a Viewer for .docx M$ WORD files? If so, where can I get it? This file type cannot be opened with OpenOffice.org 2.3. TIA!

Hi, my users were recently moved from a uw-imap on HPUX to dovecot on EL5. Their sent items and folders went from a ~/Sent mbox file (when using SquirrelMail and Apple Mail both) to ~/mail/Sent for SquirrelMail and ~/mail/Sent Messages for other imap clients. I notice I can cat the files together and the only artifact is I end up with multiple "This message is part of the system do not

Anyone ever come across a linux server host key changing with out a reboot, sshd restart, change in negotiating (SSHv1, SSHv2), and different DNS name or IP address?

I installed inotify and incrond to watch a directory and set the job as '/mnt/dir IN_ATTRIB chmod 0660 $@/$#' which worked very well except that as expected, IN_ATTRIB is to broad of a watch class as it caused an enormous amount of contention with the filemonitor and/or db server and the client side app was less than happy. Not to mention top showed it working away like mad... Is there

How can I find out that someone is using it's network card in promiscuous mode in a subnet? Thank you!

We run the distro HylaFax on a CentOS-5.4 host. On infrequent occasions we notice that the server will not pick up an incoming call. It reports listening to modem rings. Now, it seems to me that picking up the call should be under the control of the modem but I notice that there exists a setting in Hylafax for the number of rings before picking up. The default value for this is 0 (zero) but we

HI all! Strange problem that began occurring in last few weeks. Centos 5.4, up to date. I sometimes log in remotely via ssh using "ssh -X" and read mail via mutt. Now and then I want to use balsa instead. This has always worked (for years) though it's kinda slow... but in the last few weeks it has begun failing and spewing errors like this, repeatedly, apparently forever until I
