find . -type f -mtime -1 -exec mv ‘{}’ /ora/bin \;

This will move all files found that were created that day to the directory /ora/bin.

useradd -u 200 -d /export/home/oracle -g oinstall -G dbadmin -m -s /bin/bash -c “RDBMS install user” oracle

Now, what does it mean?
-u = userid (it is convenient to keep this the same on multiple systems)
-d = home directory
-m = make the home directory if it doesn’t exist (believe me, it’s quite frustrating if you don’t (know) use this one.)
-s = which shell to use
-c = comment about the user

and at the end the user’s username.

And let’s add some X11 related packages in the mix so we can connect via an X-terminal:
pkg install xauth
pkg install x11/diagnostic/x11-info-clients
pkg install xclock
pkg install library/motif

So, a couple of updates since last or last-er:

Using mailx to send a mail with attachment:

mailx -m -r sender_user@example.org -s "Subject header" -a /file/to/attach.log receiver_user@example.org

With uuencode to attach a file:

uuencode <source_file> <target_file> | mailx -m -r sender_user@example.org -s "Subject header" receiver_user@example.org

With mutt to attach a file:

echo "This is the message body" | mutt -a "/file/to/attach.log" -s "Subject header" -- receiver_user@example.org

find . -mtime +0 -exec rm -f {} \;

or

find /any/directory/you/may/have/ -type f -mtime +15 -exec rm -f {} +

find and do things

Creating raidz zpool with ZIL, mirrored cache and spares == {Pretty straightforward}: Read the rest of this entry »

As you may notice below, this is a VM with plenty of disks, the intention is to have a mirrored rpool with a ZFS ZIL. There are two 16Gb disks for the rpool, one 10Gb disk for the ZIL and ten (10) 5Gb disks for a RAIDZ2 zpool. This post will show how to mirror the rpool on Solaris Express 11, it is a shameless ctrl-c/ctrl-v of this blogpost. But it works none-the-less… Read the rest of this entry »

So, way back when I wrote this post, I thought I was done with it.

Seems the procedure described then, isn’t any good now. At least, come Hell or high water, I could not get a static IP and enjoy it…
Till this pdf crossed my digital path, and sure enough… I got a static IP which worked (skip to page 17: “Configuring Network Resources”).

Not sure if I ever posted this before. Couldn’t find it none the less, so here goes:

To be able to mount NTFS and/or EXT2fs usb HDD, read this post on OpenSolaris forums. It will give a link to genunix where you can download 2 packages and a txt file with instructions.

Works every time, wish I could say the same for the functionality of smb/server.

If you have read this post, then you would have known i have this motherboard and that it has two nic’s. Now during the installation, i just went with the default and that means it is automatically configured via nwam (see this pdf -page 11- or this page, they’re practically the same!). Of course, i can’t have that…

So, here’s howto configure it manually, just the way you like it:
First, see what the status is of – and disable nwam: Read the rest of this entry »

So, here i am. Trying to setup a Solaris xVM hypervisor….
Installed OpenSolaris using the ‘install’ icon on the desktop of the livecd.

According to the package manager, SUNWxvmdom, SUNWxvmipa and SUNWxvmpv were already installed, so i downloaded the rest (available via the package repository from opensolaris.org): SUNWvirtinst, SUNWvirt-manager and SUNWxvm. Those 3 were prox. 8 Mb in size. Read the rest of this entry »

Just came across a directory with these permissions: drwxr-sr-x

Here’s howto set it:

chmod 2755 

Here are the sources: example man

useradd -u 200 -d /export/home/oracle -g oinstall -G dbadmin -m -s /bin/bash -c “RDBMS install user” oracle

Now, what does it mean?
-u = userid (it is convenient to keep this the same on multiple systems)
-d = home directory
-m = make the home directory if it doesn’t exist (believe me, it’s quite frustrating if you don’t (know) use this one.)
-s = which shell to use
-c = comment about the user

and at the end the user’s username.

I noticed that the order in which the flags are given are important on version 11.2:

Find stuff in *nix:

find /file_system/file_system -name file_name -type f -exec rm {} ;
What this does is, find files (-type f) with the name file_name in given file_system and executes rm

Of course you can use kill -9 pid, but sometimes you just can’t find the pid.
In that case try: fg.

Edit /etc/default/login with your editor (probably vi). Navigate to the line which reads

Even when it’s used:

rm -rf /file_system/file_system/fil…..

du -h /file_system | sort -n | tail -10 grep -v parameter

What this does is, give a result with the items in a given file system that sorted according to their size and only the top ten.
The grep -v excludes the parameter given.

If you regard mailing from unix as quite a hassel, see the following:
uuencode old_file_name new_file_name | mailx -r reply_address -s “subject” to_address

In this manner, the file that you send with mailx, will be attached via uuencode.
If you need to send more files, tar hem.
