rohitt: 
 
 
did that 
samething... 
 
[root@fightube ~]# sudo -u nobody ffmpeg -i /var/www/html/wsngallery/attachments/googleearthvideo331a.wmv -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 400x300 - /var/www/html/wsngallery/attachments/googleearthvideo331a.flv 
sudo: ffmpeg: command not found 
 
 
do i need to restart something after making that change? 
 
also how do i disable iptables servcie on boot 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-261962">[root@fightube ~]# nano .bash_profile
 GNU nano 2.0.6 File: .bash_profile
 
# .bash_profile
 
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
 . ~/.bashrc
fi
 
# User specific environment and startup programs
 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
 
export PATH
unset USERNAME
PATH=&quot;${PATH}&quot;:/ffmpeg
 
source the .bash_profile
$ source ~/.bash_profile
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
just add this line to your &quot;.bash_profile&quot; 
 
PATH=&quot;${PATH}&quot;:/ffmpeg 
 
then run this command from the terminal windows 
$ source ~/.bash_profile 
 
you don't have to include these lines in your .bash_profile 
 
source the .bash_profile 
$ source ~/.bash_profile
</div>

<div>
your .bash_profile should look like this 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-261964"># .bash_profile
 
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
 . ~/.bashrc
fi
 
# User specific environment and startup programs
 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
PATH=&quot;${PATH}&quot;:/ffmpeg
export PATH
unset USERNAME
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
to disable iptables firewall execute these commands 
 
service iptables save 
service iptables stop 
chkconfig iptables off
</div>

<div>
still same thing... 
does seomthing need to be reset after i change this?? 
 
understand that typing int 
 
ffmpeg &nbsp;works. 
 
ist just when i do sudo -u apache &nbsp; ffmpeg... 
 
or 
 
sudo -u nobody ffmpeg.... 
 
or 
 
sudo -u root &nbsp;ffmpeg
</div>

<div>
When you do 'sudo -u nobody &lt;command&gt;', the PATH is being picked up by the '-u nobody' profile, not your own profile. The best way around this would be to modify the global profile (usually found under /etc/profile). 
 
_OR_ 
 
If this is being kicked off from your account, do: 
 
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/command 
sudo -u userid command 

</div>

<div>
sudo -u nobody ffmpeg.... 
you also need to add &quot;/ffmpeg/&quot; directory to the PATH of the user nobody 
 
or add the &quot;/ffmpeg&quot; to &nbsp;the the &quot;system wide /etc/profile&quot;
</div>

<div>
or you can just create a soft link to that command in /usr/bin with that command as root: 
 
ln -s /ffmpeg/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg 
 
nothing else needed.
</div>

<div>
Hello 
 
Type at prompt: 
whereis ffmpeg 
&lt;must see the result&gt; 
PATH=$PATH:/pathoftheffmpeg 
sudo -u &lt;username&gt; ffmpeg 
 
Great is our GOD. 
:)

<div>
Unless configured to leave all environment symbols as is, sudo sanitises the environment 
by cleaning it out and establishing the system defaults. 
 
SO interactive PATH=$PATH ... won't work. 
 
the symlink (to add an alias to /bin or better /usr/bin ) suggestion does work, the modification of your default environment should work (/etc/profile). 
Also giving an explicit location to sudo should work... 
sudo -u nobody /ffmpeg/ffmpeg ..... &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ;-) 
 
Also why this location /ffmpeg/ffmpeg..., if you install an rpm it should be setup to all the right places. 
 
 
 

</div>

<div>
I guess you should run the following before running the command: 
 
export PATH=$PATH:/ffmpeg 
 
And if you don't want to run this every time, then you can add this into you profile.

linux, command not found?  simple?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
