Hey All,
Okay, this is a very dumb question. I want to be able to recursively delete
selected files in a subdirectory. Bascially I have a java project and
various packages. I want to just start from the top and delete all *.class
files. This doesn;t work
rm -r *.class
not this:
rm -R com/*.class
nor any combination therein. I know there has got to be a simple
explanation. Can anyone help?

That will work on all subdirectories of . that are not symbolic links.

VMware sets up a virtual machine in which you can run any of several x86
OSs -- Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux, FreeBSD, possibly
one or two others. The version I've got can't run OS/2 or BeOS, but I
heard somewhere that later versions can run at least OS/2. VMware is
commercial software ($100-$300, depending upon your use for it). As a
general rule, it's more reliable than WINE, but it's also slower and
consumes more in the way of disk space, memory, etc.

No. It's the way it's supposed to be.
: First thought: loopback mount a file with a setuid root shell in
You can't. Mount checks if its suid root or not, and who the real
uid is when the effective uid is root. If you're not really root,
it checks in fstab to see if users are allowed to mount it, looking
for user or users options. If not there, too bad. No mount.
: it. Run the shell. You're root (euid).

No.
A CD-ROM is a block device. The generic SCSI driver is a character
device. Take a look at the results of "ls -l /dev/scd0 /dev/sg0" for
confirmation. Attempting to use /dev/sg0 as a read-only CD-ROM interface
will not work-- mount reports "/dev/sg0 is not a block device" which is
what it should be saying.
The correct module for accessing an IDE-SCSI emulated CD-ROM is sr_mod,
and the device name is /dev/scd[0-15] depending on how many CD-ROMs you
have. /dev/sg[0-15] is used by the sg module, and scanners and CD-R(W)s
also use it.
# insmod ide-scsi (IDE-SCSI emulation)
# insmod scsi_mod (if you have SCSI support as a module)
# insmod sr_mod (SCSI CD-ROM support)
# insmod sg (SCSI Generic support)
It shouldn't be this difficult-- just put
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
in /etc/conf.modules, and the right stuff should get probed automatically
when you try to access /dev/scd0 or /dev/sg0, assuming you've passed
"hdX=ide-scsi" to the kernel at boot time.

First, you need a real name!
Bevor you can use X Windows, you must configure your X Window - System!
I don't know, what distribution you use, but i think, you have a
'xf86config' or a 'XF86Setup' or a 'sax'. sax is from SuSE, the other
are standard (I think).

Hi,
Abstract of my problem:
Is it possible to redirect the stdout of a running process? If so,
how?
Details.
I have a program called a.out that writes a loop index
to the stdout. I put this program in the background
using
nohup a.out >& /dev/null &
I then log out of the workstation and go home. The next day,
I want to find out how much the program has completed. How can I
change the redirection of the program and cause its stdout to be
directed at a desired xterm?
Please reply to this newsgroup. Thanks for any help.

No Server. Read its error messages when it starts up. You probably forgot

$ nohup a.out >& logfile &

$ tail -f logfile
This isn't *quite* what you wanted, but the end result will be the same.

The complete LILO package is several files in two directories:
/sbin/lilo - the boot installer
/boot/boot.b - the boot loader
/boot/chain.b - the chain loader (to other OS's)
The boot installer does sanity checking, since version 21.4 has features that
are not supported by the version 20 boot loader.
Just make sure the above files are in-sync with one another.

In any case, surely the nohup will divert output of the a.out to
nohup.out? It's the (nonexistent) output of the nohup that you are
diverting to /dev/null.
: $ nohup a.out >& logfile &

I think (a) you'll be disappointed, that's the output from nohup, not
from a.out, (b) he's already got the output in nohup.out.

Oh, don't worry. I bought the student version of mathematica for a

I did everything except send them my student body card. They still

I also noticed that
this happens when I transfer files using ftp. Also, I tried sharing cdrom on
my linux machine and same thing happen if I try to load files from cdrom
(after sometime).
Is this a known bug or is there any solution. Here are messages that I
sometime see
before crash:
localhost kernel: VFS: busy inodes on changed media.
or
localhost kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
PS: hdb is my cdrom

I don't have a PPC, but I have heard that LinuxPPC is good. See if you
can find some docementation on it
on your favorite search engine. You can download it from
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/linux/ISO-images/LinuxPPC

If you know the device file of your tty, it's no problem with
nohup a.out >& /dev/ttyXXX &
If you don't want to do it that way (because you don't want to
look for the terminal device), you can use a FIFO:
mkfifo ~/fifo0 creates a FIFO file (called fifo0)
nohup /full/path/a.out >& ~/fifo0 & starts the process writing the fifo
In the terminal you want to see the output of the process, do a
cat ~/fifo0
Note that the full path of the program you start must be supplied (you
get "no such command" errors otherwise). If your loop program doesn't
flush the file buffers periodically, the "cat ~/fifo0" program doesn't
display anything until you terminate the loop process. (

Subject: recursive mv?
Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 14:51:07 -0800
Is there such a thing as a recursive mv, that is mv -r <from> <to> or
some such.
I recognize that the mv is basically a rename, and to 'move' a whole
directory tree, normally just the top 'directory' is 'mv'ed.
In this case, I want to transer a whole bunch of stuff via NFS from a
remote machine to my local machine. Possible? Or do I have to do a
cp -r <from> <to>
rm -rf <from> <to>
thx
