by m.roth＠5-cent.us 13 May '10

13 May '10

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 12 May '10

12 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

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/

12 May '10

Hi all, I'm updating a customised CentOS 5.2 repo to 5.4. After running createrepo, I find all the usual .xml.gz files updated, but the sqlite.bz2 files have not been touched. What is the significance of these files? If they need to be updated, how is it done? -r--r--r-- 1 user group 1811 Oct 1 2009 TRANS.TBL -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1050329 May 12 11:04 comps.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 4116331 Oct 1 2009 filelists.sqlite.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 5298535 May 12 11:04 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 10443591 Oct 1 2009 other.sqlite.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 18438410 May 12 11:04 other.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 2141520 Oct 1 2009 primary.sqlite.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1737825 May 12 11:04 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1140 May 12 11:04 repomd.xml The customisation essentially consists of merging base and updates into a single repository. --------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any attachments may contain Cypress (or its subsidiaries) confidential information.
