Debugging on part(s) of the script




set -x # activate debugging from here w set +x # stop debugging from here

and yes it is wierd that it is backwards – is on + is off


The Bash Guide for Beginners http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html

& man bash


DrJohn other useful things:

Ch 4: Working with Files
Everything in a Linux file system can be viewed as a file (data files, directories, devices, pipes, etc)
Regular files: (20% loc 764)

file somefilename --determine type of file

touch /home/bob/newfile.ext -- create blank file

> /home/bob/newfile.txt -- create blank file

ls -l /usr/bin/apropos

file /usr/bin/whatis

file /bin/ls
directories

mkdir


x permission must be on or users can not use directory as their current directory

umask umask -S (23% loc 852)


Symbolic & Hard Links

ln -s /path/somefile.txt /newpath/symlink.txt

symbolic link – own set of permissions, can exist on different partitions, new inode number
ln /path/file.txt /newpath/hardlink.txt

hard link – same permissions, cannot exist on different partitions, same inode number


ls -li --show all info and inode numbers

symlinks ./ -- show all symbolic links in current dir

symlinks -r ./

symlinks -rv ./


device files overview only (21% loc 800)

named pipes & sockets overview only (22% loc 807)


Permissions (Table 4.1 22% loc 830)

421421421 -- rwxrwxrwx -- usergroupother

original permssions new

chmod 0700 any rwx------

chmod 0711 any rwx—x--x

chmod go+r rwx------ rwxr—r--

chmod 0777 any rwxrwxrwx

chmod a=rwx any rwxrwxrwx

chmod a+rwx any rwxrwxrwx
chmod -R 700 recursive

first 0 in all above = set-UID = 4, set-GID = 2, sticky = 1 (

set-UID will now work for shell scripts
only on ext2, ext3, ext4 file systems (24% loc 900)

lsattr, chattr --- a (append only), c (compressed), d (no dump), i (immutable), j (data journaling), s (secure deletion), t (no merging), u (undeletable), A ( no atime updates), D (synchronous directory updates), S (synchronous updates), T (top of directory hierarchy)


chattr +A somefile

good to check the attributes once in a while for security purposes

Ownership

chown bob test/

chown bob:bob

chown -R bob /


traversing file system

cd or cd ~ -- change to user home directory

cd - -- change to previous directory

cd /tmp -- change to tmp off of root

cd tmp -- change to tmp off of current dir

cd .. -- change to parent dir


Copying files

cp -a /var/www/html /backupdisk

cp -R /var/www/html /backupdisk

backup methods

dd (24% loc 879)

as root:


dd if=/dev/sdg bs=512 count=1 of=$BACKUPDIR/sdg_MBR

/sbin/fdisk /dev/hda -l > $BACKUPDIR/hda_partition_table.txt

Ch 7: Administering File Systems
Basic File system partitions (three basic types)

swap, boot, root

ext3 == ext2 + journaling

linux supports ext4, ext3, ext2, iso9660, Jffs21, jfs, msdos, ntfs, squashfs, swap, ufs, vfat, xfs

others nfs, sshfs, encfs, cifs & others (FUSE)
Partitioning:

install: used to be called Disk Druid

fdisk or parted
fdisk

/sbin/fdisk -l -- shows all partitions

(After Fedora 7 all IDE, SCSI, & SATA use /dev/sd..)

(newer Fedoras use the UUID – see the /etc/fstab file & /dev/disk

/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda

/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda --work on a particular disc

m --gets command listing

n --new partition (assumes ext3 type unless told otherwise)

d --delete partition

w --write changed info to disc (BE CAREFUL!)

parted

newer more functionality



GUI: gparted or qtparted


  1. sudo /sbin/parted -l /dev/sda

Model: ATA ST31000340AS (scsi)

Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 32.3kB 215GB 215GB primary ext3 boot

2 215GB 429GB 215GB primary ext3
changes immediately written to disk!

man parted shows brief listing info parted much more complete


in parted session help shows commands, mkpart creates new partition

both following will usually destroy file systems!

resize 2 will resize linux partitions (#2)

use the ntfsresize command to resize ntfs partitions

ntfsinfo

Both tools above only change parition table they do not format the partition

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1

mkfs -t ext3 -v -c /dev/sda1 -- more verbose output and check for bad blocks

mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sda2

-- always put -t filesystemtype first

Working with existing partitions

Backup / Restore

sudo /sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/sda

# partition table of /dev/sda

unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 63, size=419424957, Id=83, bootable

/dev/sda2 : start=419425020, size=419425020, Id=83

/dev/sda3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0

/dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0


-- d option above formats output for later restoration
/sbin/sfdisk /dev/sda < sda-part-table -- restore

/sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/sda | /dev/sdb -- copy to new disk


Changing partition label

sudo /sbin/e2label /dev/sda1 yields /

sudo /sbin/e2label /dev/sda2 yields /1
/sbin/e2label /dev/sda2 /newlable
Virtual File System

portable, liveCD, virtual OS


dd if=/dev/zero of=mydisk count=2048000

du -sh mydisk & df -h (see below for more on both)

1001M mydisk

/sbin/mkfs -t ext3 mydisk

lots of info output

mkdir test

sudo mount -o loop mydisk test

mount


/home/bob/mydisk on /home/bob/test type ext3 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)

Viewing & Changing file system attributes

sudo /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 (or dumpe2fs)

lots of information

man tune2fs

-c set maximal count before fsck

-j turn ext2 fs into ext3 by adding journaling
swap partitions

mkswap /dev/sda3

virtual partition as swap

dd -if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swapfile count=65536

chmod 600 /tmp/swapfile

mkswap /tmp/swapfile

swapon

swapoff


swapon -s
Mounting filesystems

/etc/fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1

devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

LABEL=SWAP-sdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/sdf1 /Gandalf/WinXP ntfs defaults 0 0


device mountpoint type options -o dump checkorder
pseudo filesystems

mount -o options

mount

mount, mount -t ext3, mount | sort, mount -l (labels)



mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /Gandalf/Belinda -o=below

ro, rw, uid=xxx, gid=xxx, noexec,

--bind (new additional location), --move

mount -v -o loop -t iso9660 diskboot.img ~/diskimg

mount -v -o loop local.iso ~/imgdir

/sbin/losetup -a -- show loopback device status


Unmounting filesystems

umount -v /dev/sda1

umount -v /Gandalf/Belinda
device is busy

/usr/sbin/lsof | grep mountpoint


Checking file systems badblocks & fsck

/sbin/badblocks -v /dev/sdc1 readonly test

/sbin/badblocks -vsn /dev/sdc1 non destructive read write test (slowest)

/sbin/badblocks -vsw /dev/sdc1 faster destructive read write test


fsck /dev/sda1

/sbin/fsck -TV /dev/sda1 do not display fsck version and be verbose

/sbin/fsck -TVy /dev/sda1 yes to all 'do I fix' questions
File system use

df -h usage summary in human readable mode

df -hi inode use also

df -hl only display local file systems

df -hT show file system type also

du -h /home/bob disk use of my home directory

du -h /home must be root

du -sh / summarize results

du -sch /home /data /usr/local multiple dirs

du -sh --exclude='*.iso' /home/bob exclude iso files from results & summarize

backing up over network with ssh

rsnapshot vie yum install rsnapshot (http://www.rsnapshot.org/)

mkdir mybackup ; cd mybackup -- all files beginning with myfile are

ssh bob@server1 'tar cf – myfile*' | tar xvf - -- copied from server into local home dir
tar cf – myfile* | ssh bob@server1 'cd /home/bob/myfolder ; tar xvf - -- OUT
ssh bob@server1 'tar czf – myfile*' | cat > myfiles.tgz -- IN

tar czvf – myfile* | ssh bob@server1 ' cat > myfiles.tgz -- OUT


backing up files over network with rsync (Detailed rsync reference)

rsync -a source/ destination/ – equal to cp -a source/. destination/

rsync -a -e ssh source/ username@remotemachine.com:/path/to/destination/

--the -e option specifies the remote shell to use


rsync -a a b – assuming there is a file a/foo this gives a file b/a/foo

rsync -a a/ b – gives b/foo point is backslashes matter but only on the source


rsync -a --delete source/ destination/ – any files in /destination but not in /source are deleted
– create test-src, test-dest, test-src/somefiles

rsync –delete –backup –backup_dir=bk-`date +%A` -avz test-src/ test-dest/$(date +%F)


--mirrors remote pics directory on local system (-a run in archive mode, -v verbose, -z compresses files, --delete remove any local files not still on server)

rsync -avz –delete bob@server1:/home/bob/pics bobspics


-- creates /var/backups/backup-Monday etc

mkdir /var/backups

rsync –delete –backup –backup_dir=/var/backups/backup-`date +%A` \

-avz bob@server1:/home/bob/Personal/ /var/backups/current-backup/


-- create hard links instead of duplicate files (--link-dest option)

rm -rf /var/backups/backup-old/

mv /var/backups/backup-current/ /var/backups/backup-old/

rsync –delete –link-dest=/var/backups/backup-old/ -avz bob@server1:/home/bob/Personal \

/var/backups/backup-current/


    • longer script can be found here: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html

backing up with unison

-- rsync assumes that machine being backed up in only one where data is being modified

-- when have 2 (ie desktop & laptop) unison is better
yum install unison

unison /home/bob ssh://bob@server1//home/bob

unison /home/bob /mnt/backups/bob-home
-- to force unison to run in command line mode (-ui text)

unison /home/bob ssh://bob@server1//home/bob -ui text


-- will prompt for y on every change. If you trust unison to find newest file use -auto

unison /home/bob ssh://bob@server1//home/bob -auto


-- no man pages

unison -help

unison -doc all | less

Backing up to removable media

mkisofs -o home.iso /home -- all files in DOS 8.3 naming mode

mkisofs -o home2.iso -J -R /home --Add Joliet & Rock Ridge extensions

mkisofs -o home3.iso -J -R music/ pics/ docs/ -- multiple dirs or files

-- /var/pics becomes /home/bob/Pictures on cd image

mkisofs -o home.iso -J -R -graft-points Pictures/=/var/pics/ /home/bob
-- add more information to ISO

mkisofs -o home.iso -R -J -p www.bob.org -publisher “Bob Thomas” -V “WebBackup” \

isoinfo -d -i home.iso -- display all header information


mkdir /home/bob/test

mount -o loop home.iso /home/bob/test -- mount image in test dir

umount /home/bob/test
Burning to CD/DVD

cdrecord –scanbus -- shows information on CD/DVD drive(s)


cdrecord -dummy home.iso -- test burn without doing anything

cdrecord -v home.iso

cdrecord -v -eject home.iso

-- multisession using growisofs

growisofs -z /dev/sr0 -R -J /home/bob --Master & burn to DVD

growisofs -z /dev/sr0 -R -J /home/belinda -- Add to burn

growisofs -M /dev/sr0=/dev/zero -- Close burn

-- m show processes with file in . Open, v verbose, a all processes, u what user owns

sudo /sbin/fuser -k /boot -- kill every process that has anything in /boot open


nice

-- sets process priority, regular user 19 (way low) to -20 (way high)

-- merely a suggestion

nice -n 12 gimp -- launch gimp with low priority

renice +2 -u bob -- set bob's process to lower priority

Running processes in background or forground with fg, bg, & jobs

/sbin/hwclock -r -- display current CMOS hardware clock setting

/sbin/hwclock –hstosys -- set system clock from hardware clock (root)

Using Network Time Protocol

yum install ntpd

service ntpd start

chkconfig ntpd on


/etc/sysconfig/ntpd -- main config file

SYNC_HWCLOCK=no -- set to yes to sync

-- problem is why would you want to run a time server ?
ntpd -qg -- q says quit after syncing, g says don't panic for way off

Managing the boot process

A detailed look at the fedora boot process

BIOS


MBR on “first” bootable partition

GRUB


/boot/grub/grub.conf -- other configs are symbolic links to this

kernel


kernel needs root file system to load modules (block devices, etc)

devices drivers are on root file system so how does kernel get them ?

a small initial ram disk (initrd)

init process

/etc/inittab -- runlevel, etc

/boot/grub/grub.conf -- lots of other kernel boot options (table 2-1)

default=1

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora (2.6.26.3-14.fc8)

root (hd1,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb init=/sbin/bootchartd

initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.img

grub-install /dev/sda -- reinstall grub

mkinitrd ... -- recreate initial ram disk
Startup & Run Levels

/sbin/runlevel -- display current and previous

init 5 or 3 etc -- change runlevel

init q -- process changes in inittab (mostly for gettys)


/sbin/chkconfig --list, smb on, --add , --level ....
/sbin/service smb -- show usage statement

service smb restart -- etc

/etc/rc.d/rc
systemd

see /etc/systemd and /lib/systemd files

man systemctl

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/FrequentlyAskedQuestions


The Kernel

uname

dmesg


lsmod

modinfo pata_acpi


/sbin/modprobe -l | grep c-qcam

modprobe c-qcam

modprobe -r c-qcam
/etc/sysctl.conf -- Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux

/sbin/sysctl -a | less -- list all kernel parameters


sudo /sbin/dmidecode -- list info about all hardware

sudo /sbin/hdparm /dev/sda -- view and change information relating to hard drive
