getfacl is a file utility for viewing the access control list information associated with a file or directory.

For a memory aid, you can think of ‘getfacl’ as “Get File ACL“.. ACL being Access Control List.

Access control lists are extended attributes added to most major file systems in the 2.6 kernel to improve ability to control the access of files. They allow permissions to be set for individual groups and users and not just the owning user, owning group, and all other users.

setfacl is a command that allows you to set the Access Control List information for a file or directory.

Access control lists are extended attributes added to most major file systems in the 2.6 kernel to improve ability to control the access of files. They allow permissions to be set for individual groups and users and not just the owning user, owning group, and all other users.

You can read man pages for both getfacl and setfacl for more information.

getfacl and setfacl example….

Here’s an example of using the basic funtion of getfacl and setfacl

# getfacl

#setfacl

setfacl -m default:user::rwx,default:group::r-x,default:other:r-x,default:mask:rwx /u06/OneSource/datapump_dbdump

setfacl -m default:user:rcodapp1:r-x,default:group:r-x,default:other:—,default:mas:rwx /u06/OneSouce/datapump_dbdump

Of course, you can use vmstat with interval, but for those sysadmin folks who are use to using Top, its still more comfortable using (and seeing) the top output.

Topas is the equivalent of Top for AIX.. it’s better than Top as a matter of fact according to some AIX gurus (and Solaris)

If you persists in using top, You’ll have to build it yourself from the sources at http://www.unixtop.org/ plus probably this fix:

Good luck!

Thanks to websites that offer to sell (and buy) second hand, used cars many people can have places to search for and are no longer limited to the restrictions of locations.

I bought my first car (my only car for that matter) from a dealer that posted their inventory online. So, thanks to this second hand used car website, I was able to find myself and buy my very own car.

Thanks also to this website (and the internet) for that matter, and idea popped to mind. Why not make my own used car websites that will not only help people buy quality used car, but also earn a couple of dimes on the side?

The search for Free Car Classified Script

How hard could it be? All you need is a webhosting company running with the servers running a flavor of Linux, PHP, Mysql, and open source classfied script and you’re good to go.

But the problem is, I could find a free car classified script that I can install on my webhosting company. I did a quick “free car classified script” search and a “free car classified script download” and the search result came with script that I need to cash out a couple of dollars… unlucky for me, I have no extra dough to cash out.

Hence, this post. I would like to ask for your help. If you know a flexible, free car classified script out there in internet, could you please drop a comment? I already tired auto_classified and PHP Car Dealer.. (and I bought one before forgot the name, but it doesn’t have what I am looking for.. yeah yeah, modify.. no time)

Thanks in advance to those who will point me in the right site for the car classified script! Chow!

Run proftpd from inetd or standalone?

inetd
standalone

Initially selected standalone here.

And you’re done!

To start up the FTP service:

/etc/init.d/proftpd start

vi is the one, if not the most popular text editor available for a System Administrator on a UNIX and UNIX-like machines.

It has two modes, command and editor mode.

Here are some syntax in using the Search and Replace in ‘vi’.

Search:

The most basic and most easily remembered command for searching is vi is slash or ‘/’ followed by the character being searched. That’s for forward searching. For backward, vi use ‘?’ followed by the string being searched.

To go to the next occurrance of the string being searched, vi use ‘n’ command. Doesn’t matter if your searching forward (from up, down) or backward, from down to top.

Example:

(you have to be in command mode… press ESC first)

/search_string

?search_string

Search and Replace

For search and replace, use the syntax

:%s/original/replaced/g

Make sense?
Any command that begins with a “:” is called a line mode command and performs its duty on the line the cursor is currently on.

The above syntax serves my purpose now… If I want to replace text in certain ranges.. syntax can be found here

My original plan was to erase the whole thing and put Ubuntu on it. Tried it couple of days ago but didn’t work out.

After the boot up from the CD (requested a copy of Ubuntu 7.10) it displayed the little cross hair, then nothing…

I thought it’s probably the Vista… So I put in XP.. coz I tried installing Ubuntu over XP before, but the same thing happened!

So I wonder if this is a hardware issue on my laptop? It’s a NEO Empriva 540SVBe.

Will do a search later.

Server is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4, running LAMP.

The data needed are located in several tables, so we need to query all relevant tables in the databse:

mysql> SELECT users.username, users.emailaddress, user_services.current_service FROM users, user_services WHERE users.username=user_services.username

The statement above queries two tables – users and user_services, as show from the expressin ‘FROM users, user_services’. The record in users table that information is required are in the username and emailaddress record. On user_services, it’s current_services. The WHERE sets the limit condition.

To send that output to a file, we use the INTO OUTFILE ‘</path/to/file>’.

So, that’s

mysql> SELECT users.username, users.emailaddress, user_services.current_service FROM users, user_services WHERE users.username=user_services.username INTO OUTFILE ‘/tmp/tempfile.txt’

You can donwload the package at asteriskNOW.com. You can choose to download and ISO image or a VMWare image on the donwload page.

The is so easy to use and install that AsteriskNOW claims that you can install it 30 minutes!

Mark Spencer, the original author of Asterisk and founder of Digium, said

“What we did was take the Asterisk, the GUI, and a variety of other packages and put it all in a CD that you drop it in a computer and install. And that is what AsteriskNOW is.”

Here’s a video of Mr. Spencer himself, showing how easy it is to install and get started with AsteriskNOW.

Here’s a typical output of a file listing using `ls -l` on a directory:

[root@unix-box icons]# ls -l | more
total 636
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          246 Aug 26  2005 a.gif
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          242 Aug 26  2005 alert.black.gif
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          279 Aug 26  2005 alert.black.png
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          247 Aug 26  2005 alert.red.gif
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          298 Aug 26  2005 alert.red.png
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root         2326 Aug 26  2005 apache_pb.gif
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root         1385 Aug 26  2005 apache_pb.png
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          293 Aug 26  2005 a.png

When using the -l (dash ‘el’) option of ls, the output will display a more detailed listing of the files. Here you’ll see the file properties/permission (-rw-r–r–) the number of links, the owner of the file, the group of the user, file size, the date/time stamp and finally the file name. That’s 7 column.

Changing The Time Stamp Of A File

To change the time stamp of a file (the 6th column in the `ls -l` listing), we use the UNIX command touch.

From the Man Pag:

NAME
touch – change file timestamps

SYNOPSIS
touch [OPTION]… FILE…
touch [-acm] MMDDhhmm[YY] FILE… (obsolescent)

There are many options for the touch command, but the one I use fairly often is the -t option

       -t STAMP;    use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]

Example:

 [root@unix-box icons]#  touch -t 200607161201 a.gif
[root@unix-box icons]# ls -l | more
total 636
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          246 Jul 16  2006 a.gif
-rw-r–r–    1 elizar root          242 Aug 26  2005 alert.black.gif

Other options that you  may find useful are -a (change access time only) -m (modification time only) and others. Consult the man page for more details

Cheers!

more and and less.

more

The more command is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. For example if your viewing one large text file, you could use more to view the content of the file one screenfull at a time.

# more /path/to/file/filename

more also has an interactive mode that uses the commands based on vi. So if you’re viewing a file using more, it will pause on the first screenfull and just in case you would want to ‘search’ for a particular string you could use the slash (‘/’) or the question mark (‘?’) just like you would if you’re using vi.

less

The command less, is just like more but unlike more which only goes one way, less allows backward movement in the file as well as forward movement.

Also, since more is a lot primitive than less, less also has tons of command line options. See it’s man pages for details.
