Re: [newbie] very very very basic question about ls
hi navin, from what i gather this is what you want to do: you have a directory like this a-b -c-b -c-d -c-d-b and you want to change the permissions of all instances of b (sort of they fill a certain naming requirement, right?). if this is the case then you can use a recursive script that i got. it goees something like #!/bin/bash #note that this script is stored as $HOME/bin/recscript # $1 is the target directory cd $1 chmod +x b # or whatever files in there for entry in `ls` do if [ -L $entry ] then #this is a linkfile so I dont follow elif [ -d $entry ] then $HOME/bin/recscript $entry else # regular file. do whatever you want. you can even put # the chmod here if it would be cumbersome above fi done #end script ok so it may be a little brutish but it gets the job done (like removing core files, *.class files before archiving, and that sort). feel free to use it as you please. ciao!

Hello people I have a problem and am trying to fix something A directories I have on my /home/navin/apps/JBoss directory has entries of files and directories.

Rondid you include the path info to the image file (ie.
d:/images/hd.img), or did you really type it as hd.image which
is incorrect? Also was a:: appended to that field? That would
also be incorrect. I suggest that you use the dos (rawrite.exe)
program rather than either of the windows versions. Run it in a
dos window.

Re: [newbie] A Very Very Basic Question
never done it this way but your image source in this case would have to be C in whatever directory you downloaded to.
