Need help on Linux ls command

Hi Team,
I want to know the difference in the output of the below unix commands

ls -F

ls -F I get the output with directories suffixed with a / , but some regular files suffixed with * , @ symbols. Why is it so?

[root@localhost ~]# ls -F
abc.txt Desktop/ install.log.syslog Public/ testfile*
accounts/ Documents/ logdata Templates/ test.ksh*
anaconda-ks.cfg Downloads/ LOGFILENAME test typescript
backup/ $file Music/ test1 Videos/
CALNOV filename novcal test123@
cc install.log Pictures/ test2

ls -d list only the current directory , but ls -d */ , is there any other command to list only directories.

Dear Experts,

I am thinking to use SSIS to do the following procedure.

(1) copy many files to Linux machines. then
(2) execute a Linux program (command) to analysis those files. The program will output the result to the local Linux drive
(3) when (2) is done, then pull the result back to Windows machine

For (1) I am thinking of FTP task (by FTP or SFTP)

how about the task of (2) and (3) ? Could you please help ... Thanks

I've installed a version of the Unifi Controller to the AWS cloud before, but it's been over 6 months. I went to install a second, built my EC2 on AWS as per the instructions, but then I couldn't get the UNIX commands to work after install. It was flawless before. I'm not getting anywhere with searching on the error.

Here's the command from the instructions that fails after launching the instance:

Once you connect to the Server and are greeted with the Ubuntu Command Line Interface (CLI), do the following:
5.1. Add the Ubiquiti repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
echo "deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

HERE's what I get...

Complete!
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-106 ~]$ echo "deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
tee: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti

The instructions are found at: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/209376117-UniFi-Install-a-UniFi-Cloud-Controller-on-Amazon-Web-Services

Has anyone RECENTLY gotten the Unifi Controller installed on AWS? I didn't even get to the point of installing the controller. Just made it to the point where it would pull it down.

Linux server - AD authentication without specifying domain name

OS: RedHat / CentOS

I can use realmd to allow specific Active Directory users/groups to log in to a Linux server.
a1) The default behavior after joining AD and enabling these AD users to log in is: log in as ADUserName@mydomain.com, provide AD password when prompted, and you're in
b1) On login, the bash prompt looks like: ADUserName@mydomain.com@servername.
c1) I add ADUserName@MYDOMAIN.COM to sudoers, and these users have admin rights if they need it
It all works just fine.

I had a request to make it so that (users who can't bear to type a few more characters) Ad users could log in, using their Ad password, but without having to specify the domain name
So, I make a few changes to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf and it kinda works. I think I'm missing something.
Now, it looks like this
a2) log in as ADUserName (note: not providing name of AD domain anymore), provide AD password when prompted, and you're logged in. So far, so good
b2) the bash prompt looks like: ADUserName@servername. Not ideal. This is not a local user, IMO the bash prompt should include the AD domain name. How do I change this back?
c2) the sudoers file had previously been modified to include ADUserName@mydomain.com. Now, the logged-in AD user can no longer use sudo. To fix this, I had to modify the sudoers file again, specifying ADUserName instead of ADUserName@MYDOMAIN.COM. Again, far from ideal. This might be confusing to anyone except the person who originally set this up - not good.

Note:The script should also need to check how many files are there in the source directory before merge them!

Masking or rewriting urls on HTML Head section

Hi, I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out a way to change the template's theme name as shown below, on the urls in the head section of my site without actually renaming the folders/directories on the template itself.

If I were to rename the folders on the actual template structure, everything would break, and even if it didn't, the automatic theme updates would not work, and for that reason, I need to figure out a way to mask, or rewrite the urls without breaking the theme template.

I have been searching online for a way to do this on my server, but no luck so far. Please help.

Hi:

Running PHP 7.0.27 on AWS EC2 linux.

I have a timer operating in a crontab which leads to a PHP script where I search for a particular user who has left their client with the app page unused for the timeout period. This timeout period is known by checking their DB entry using a UTC code when it was written.

Having ID'd the user's member number, and therefore the session_id in the table, I want to use the above script (used by crontab) to kill this user's session in the server so that whenever they try to use the app it will fail and they will get a message about logging off.

For my PHP script at the start I have ..
session_start();
session_id();
:
EG below goes here
:
And at the end of the script I have ..
session_destroy();

The crontab works fine. The script is good till the session-killing part. Here's what I found on the internet at php.net/manual/en/.. :

EG:

$session_id_to_destroy = 'nill2if998vhplq9f3pj08vjb1';	// From DB entry

// 1. commit session if it's started.

if (session_id())
{
    session_commit();
}

// 2. store current session id

session_start();
$current_session_id = session_id();
session_commit();

// 3. hijack then destroy session specified.

session_id($session_id_to_destroy);
session_start();
session_destroy();
session_commit();

// 4. restore current session id. If don't restore it, your current session will refer to the session you just destroyed!

session_id($current_session_id);
session_start();						// A

Hello Experts,

I have an uncomfortable problem that I need to be solved as soon as possible. I have this:

CENTOS Linux Server
Apache
Postfix
Postgrey
Amavisd
Spamassassin
Fail2ban
Iptables

On this Server I have several mailboxes of my customers. It is POP and SMTP Server for all those mailboxes.

Many of my customers receive emails sent by enterprises and companies which use the Amazon Simple Email Service (www.amazonses.com), a very known email-marketing service from AMAZON corporation. That's OK, no problem with that.

But there are at least two or three specific senders, who use this service (it looks they are Spammers), whose emails I want and need to reject / discard. I am trying to do this through my /etc/postfix/access file. The problem is:

1) If I try to reject / discard them by their From email address or domain name, their emails are not blocked, they enter normally to our mailboxes:

spammerdomain.com.br REJECT (the domain name is masked)
spammerdomain.com.br DISCARD
badaddress@spammerdomain.com.br REJECT (the email address is masked)
badaddress@spammerdomain.com.br DISCARD

2) If I try to reject / discard them by the Amazonses Domain, so, they are really blocked:

amazonses.com REJECT
amazonses.com DISCARD

But, I don't want to block all Amazonses users, it is a serious service. I want to reject / discard just these two or three Spammers.

Questions:

Why this happens?
How can I accomplish it?

Actually the file descriptor table is not a real table. It's just an array of pointers to the "open file table" (struct file). But let's say we will see it as a table. What are the columns? For example:

FD | Pointer to "open file table"
----------------------------------
... | ...

In short, that's the question. I see a lot of different figures on the internet, but they are all different. For example, see:

http://faculty.winthrop.edu/dannellys/csci325/10_shared.htm
There they have a column "fd flags" (read/write), but I would think that this column is part of the "open file table" and not part of the "file descriptor table". See for example: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html

A call to open() creates a new open file description, an entry in the
system-wide table of open files. The open file description records
the file offset and the file status flags (see below). A file
descriptor is a reference to an open file description; this reference
is unaffected if pathname is subsequently removed or modified to
refer to a different file. For further details on open file
descriptions, see NOTES.

The argument flags must include one of the following access modes:
O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. These request opening the file read-
only, write-only, or read/write, respectively.

To Dual Boot, or Not Dual Boot, for gaming. Windows + Ubuntu

I'm getting a new laptop in the mail this week. It comes with Windows pre-installed. I'm Windows-averse. I'm going to use some flavor of *nix as my primary OS.

Now there are certain Windows games that aren't available on Linux that my daughter wants to play. So I'll be keeping some form of Windows around, strictly for gaming purposes. My preference would be to run Windows in a VM on Ubuntu. However, I've seen mixed reviews in terms of this being feasible when it comes to gaming -- especially with modern games.

Anyone here have any success with running Windows in a VM with modern games? Or is Dual-Boot the only way to go when gaming is a concern?

RTC in raspberry pi.

Hi Experts,

i do have two raspberry pi, One as publisher and another one as a subscriber. It works on the local area network without internet. Data transmission and receiving, works fine and data storing into MariaDB also works fine. The issue is time. The router run locally without internet connection. If someone switch off or restart router, the system depend on router time which not synchronise online time.

To over this issue, i did add in RTC DC3231 in both raspberry with the following setup.

#!/bin/sh
# Reset the System Clock to UTC if the hardware clock from which it
# was copied by the kernel was in localtime.

dev=$1

#if [ -e /run/systemd/system ] ; then
# exit 0
#fi

if [ -e /run/udev/hwclock-set ]; then
    exit 0
fi

if [ -f /etc/default/rcS ] ; then
    . /etc/default/rcS
fi

# These defaults are user-overridable in /etc/default/hwclock
BADYEAR=no
HWCLOCKACCESS=yes
HWCLOCKPARS=
HCTOSYS_DEVICE=rtc0
if [ -f /etc/default/hwclock ] ; then
    . /etc/default/hwclock
fi

if [ yes = "$BADYEAR" ] ; then
    /sbin/hwclock --rtc=$dev --systz --badyear
    /sbin/hwclock --rtc=$dev --hctosys --badyear
else
    /sbin/hwclock --rtc=$dev --systz
    /sbin/hwclock --rtc=$dev --hctosys
fi

# Note 'touch' may not be available in initramfs
> /run/udev/hwclock-set

Open in new window

After i did this , its work on RTC time till someone reset or switch off the router. Upon router up, the raspberry pi picked up router time instead of RTC time. i have to do manually to switch to RTC time.

How i can over this, by saying just depend on RTC time only.
