Ok, where/how do I submit this to the CentOS project? Here's a complete script - anyone, *please* feel free to test it, and let me know if I've missed anything. Thanks in advance. mark #!/bin/bash # ################################### # Author: mark roth # Date: 30 Apr. 2010 # Purpose: to create a working, bootable CentOS install on a USB key ##################################### if [[ $# < 2 ]]; then echo "usage: $0 <devname> <path/to/install.iso>" echo " Example: $0 sdb /scratch/CentOS-5.4-bin-DVD.iso" echo " Note: you must install livecd-tools before running this." exit fi /sbin/sfdisk -n -uM /dev/$1 << EOF ,10,b,* ,,83 ; ; EOF mkfs -t vfat /dev/${1}1 mkfs /dev/${1}2 /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk /scratch/CentOS-5.4-i386-LiveCD.iso /dev/${1}1 mount /dev/${1}2 /mnt cp $2 /mnt/ # end

Re: [CentOS] Text file manipulation in CentOS?
by sheraznaz＠yahoo.com 13 May '10

>>To be more specific, I need to find how many distinct records are there in say column#1? awk '{print $1}' filename | sort -u | wc -l This will show how many unique entries are present in column one (use awk -F to change delimiter e.g awk -F ":" for : delimiter) >> How can I filter out the distinct records with number of occurances less than a pre-determined threshold? I don't quite understand this part. awk '{print $1}' filename | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn Will give you a number of occurrences (reverse numerically sorted) of uniq data from column one. Now I think you want to put that through a loop and only show those that are less than threshold?

.vimrc File Disappeared and Saw vimrc and .viminfo Files in My Home Directory
by Wang, Mary Y 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I'm not sure what's going on ;-( updated a .vimrc file in my home directory with some customized settings last week. I'm looking at my home directory now, that .vimrc file disappeared for no reason and I saw a file called vimrc and .viminfo in the home directory. Of course, it didn't take my customized settings when I used vim. Is that a normal behavior? Am I missing something here? Thanks Mary

Control what messages go into /var/spool/mail/root
by Yungwei Chen 12 May '10

Hi, I found some info messages below in /var/spool/mail/root. To reduce the size of that file, I'm wondering if there's a way to prevent those unimportant messages from entering /var/spool/mail/root.

I have been getting the following error when trying to run ldconfig: ldconfig: /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so is not a symbolic link # ll /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 312336 Mar 28 11:13 /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so I've used "yum whatprovides /usr/lib64/libfreeb13.so" to determine that this file belongs to nss. I have tried to reinstall nss but that does not fix the problem. Any ideas? How can I fix this?

Rsync Directories
by James Bensley 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hey List, I am setting up an rsync daemon (not something I normally do, I normally use rsync over ssh but I'm trying to set up an rsync server and have clients sync their local directories with what is on the server) and I am wondering about the directory entries within the rsyncd.conf. You can add entries in the rsyncd.conf file for directories such as; [Example] comment = "My example directory" path /to/example/dir When using rsync on the client side, how do I specify to only sync the directories in my rsync daemon config file. As I said, I normally use rsync over ssh and just rsync <options> /local/dir user@host:/remote/dir how can I say "rsync <options> user@host /local/folderlist" and have it sync all the folders configured in the server's rsync.conf to a folder on a client called /local/folderlist? -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/
