In the Linux shell, anything preceded by a dollar sign $ references a variable. In this case, $UID automatically pulls your current logged-in user account ID number. This UID variable is set in your shell environment.
For the gid=$(id -g) portion, it is running the command id -g in a quick separate shell (not visibile to you), which returns your group ID. This method of running a separate command to return output for the first command run is common. it will pull the information for you automatically. This command is safe to use as is, and does not require any modifications: sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=$UID,gid=$(id -g) share ~/host On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 2:22 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > in my case what will be the actual command that i have to run. i mean > while sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=$UID,gid=$(id -g) share ~/host what > option i have to give in place of uid=$UID, gid=$ ..... please mention in > my case what i have to write. > > > On Friday, October 27, 2017 at 12:05:44 PM UTC-7, [email protected] > wrote: >> >> Hi every one >> >> Hope all are fine >> Sorry for disturbance as i have already posted a query i also got answers >> but i am not able to do it.I am looking out of sorts as i am new to Linux. >> I am not able to access the shared folder as it shows permission denied. >> please suggest here. >> For convenience i am attached screen short so that you may get my >> question. >> in case of the image no. 3 in place of owner 1001-user# 1001 it should be >> Qiime- Qiime User. >> > -- > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users > Group. > To post a message, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] > For more options, visit our group at > http://groups.google.com/group/linuxusersgroup > References can be found at: http://goo.gl/anqri > Please remember to abide by our list rules (http://tinyurl.com/LUG-Rules) > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Linux Users Group" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Jeremiah Bess -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
