Try this:

    find . -name &quot;*.pdf&quot; -type f -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;

Paul Dardeau answer is perfect, the only thing is, what if all the files inside those folders are not PDF files and you want to grab it all no matter the extension. Well just change it to

    find . -name &quot;*.*&quot; -type f -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;

Just to sum up!

Something like this should work.

`ssh user@ip.addr &#39;find -type f -name &quot;*.pdf&quot; -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;&#39;`

I use AIX via telnet here at work, and I&#39;d like to know how to find files in a specific folder between a date range. For example: I want to find all files in folder X that were created between 01-Aug-13 and 31-Aug-13.

Observations:

- The `touch` trick (where you create two empty files to use the -newer option) does not work for me, once the user roles that I have on the server does not allow me to create files.
- I need to find between specific dates, not days (like: files that were created more than 30 days ago, etc...)

I would like to find all the `pdf` files in a folder. It contains `pdf` files inside and more directories that contain more as well. The folder is located on a remote server I have ssh access to. I am using the mac terminal but I believe the server I am connecting to is Centos.

I need to find all the pdfs and copy them all to one directory on the remote server. I&#39;ve tried about 10 variations with no luck. Both mine and the remote systems do not seem to recognise -exec as a command though exec is fine so thats a problem.

Im not sure what the problem is here but the command does not fail it just sits there and stalls forever so I do not have any useful errors to post.


    cp $(find -name &quot;*.pdf&quot; -type f; exec ./pdfsfolder {} \; | sed 1q)

    find: ./tcs/u25: Permission denied
    find: ./tcs/u68: Permission denied
    -bash: /var/www/html/tcs_dev/sites/default/files/pdfsfolder: is a directory
    -bash: exec: /var/www/html/tcs_dev/sites/default/files/pdfsfolder: cannot execute: Success
    cp: target `./runaways_parents_guide_2013_final.pdf&#39; is not a directory

This is the last one I tried, I think I can ignore the permission denied errors for now but im not sure about the rest.

I want to kill python interpeter - The intention is that all the python files that are running in this moment will stop (without any informantion about this files).
obviously the processes should be closed.

Any idea as delete files in python or destroy the interpeter is ok :D (I am working with virtual machine).
I need it from the terminal because i write c code and i use linux commands...
Hope for help

I have a line with spaces in the start for example &quot; Hello world&quot;.
I want to insert this line to a specific line in a file.
for example
insert &quot;   hello world&quot; to the next file

    hello
    world

result:

    hello
        hello world
    world

I am using this sed script:

    sed -i &quot;${line} i ${text}&quot; $file

the problem is that i am getting my new line with out the spaces:

    hello

I have to check the time in a Linux terminal.

What is the command for getting date and time in a Linux terminal?

I have a server running where I use php to run a bash script to verify certain information of a user. For example, I have a webhosting server set up, and in order to be able to add another domain to their account I want to verify if the user is actually a member of the &#39;customers&#39; group. What would be the best way to do this?

I have searched google, but all it comes up with is ways to check whether a user or a group exists, so google is not being a big help right now.

I have a basic number for loop which increments the variable num by 1 over each iteration...

    for (( num=1; num&lt;=5; num++ ))
    do
     echo $num
    done

Which outputs:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5

I&#39;m trying to make it produce the output (add leading zero before $num):

    01
    02
    03
    04
    05

Without doing:

    echo 0$num

In Unix shell, I have a env file (*env file defines the parameters required for running the user script like log file name and path, redirect outputs and errors to log file, database connection details, etc*) which redirects all the outputs (*echo messages*) and errors to the log file from the executed script using the following code:

    exec 1&gt;&gt;${LOG_FILE}
    exec 2&gt;&gt;${LOG_FILE}

 
The env file is executed at the beginning of each script. Due to the above code in env file all the console outputs that might be user outputs or errors are directly output to the log file which is what I actually needed.

But there are some selective user outputs which I want to be displayed in both the console and the log file. But because of the above code I am not able to do so.

I know that if I remove the above code I can get the desired result for this case, but I will have to manually write all other outputs to the log file which is not an easy task.

Is there a way to get the output in both the console and the log file without removing the above codes?


 

Writing outputs to log file and console

I&#39;d like find lines in files with an occurrence of some pattern and an absence of some other pattern. For example, I need find all files/lines including `loom` except ones with `gloom`. So, I can find `loom` with command:

    grep -n &#39;loom&#39; ~/projects/**/trunk/src/**/*.@(h|cpp)

Now, I want to search `loom` excluding `gloom`. However, both of following commands failed:

    grep -v &#39;gloom&#39; -n &#39;loom&#39; ~/projects/**/trunk/src/**/*.@(h|cpp)
    grep -n &#39;loom&#39; -v &#39;gloom&#39; ~/projects/**/trunk/src/**/*.@(h|cpp)

What should I do to achieve my goal?

***EDIT 1:*** I mean that `loom` and `gloom` are the character sequences (not necessarily the words). So, I need, for example, `bloomberg` in the command output and don&#39;t need `ungloomy`.

***EDIT 2:*** There is sample of my expectations.
Both of following lines are in command output:
&gt; I faced the icons that *loomed* through the veil of incense. 
&gt;
&gt; Arty is *slooming* in a *gloomy* day.

Both of following lines aren&#39;t in command output:
&gt; It’s *gloomyin’* ower terrible — great muckle doolders o’ cloods.

OS and server information:

 - CentOS 6.4 (Final)
 - Apache 2.2.15
 - PHP 5.5.1

I previously had php 5.3.x installed but decided to upgrade. I first uninstalled the php 5.3.x and then installed php 5.5.1 but after the installation completed apache did not parse the php files it just downloaded them. I have checked similar questions here in stackoverflow but none of them have helped me so far.

For the record I have the following lines in my httpd.conf and php.conf that should make php work but don&#39;t:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    AddHandler php5-script .php


I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you.

EDIT:

I have these lines in the php.conf

    &lt;IfModule !worker.c&gt;
      LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
    &lt;/IfModule&gt;
    &lt;IfModule worker.c&gt;
      LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so
    &lt;/IfModule&gt;

EDIT:

By removing the 

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
apache no longer downloads the file. Now apache is showing the source code, but not all of it just part. I added

    AddType text/html .php
but no luck.

Apache is downloading php files instead of displaying them

I&#39;m attempting to install the PHP Zip extension.  

My server does not have external internet access, so I downloaded it myself from PECL: http://pecl.php.net/package/zip.  I chose 1.10.2, the latest &quot;stable&quot; release, and transferred it to my server.

I ran:

    pear install zip-1.10.2.tgz

and added 

    extension=zip.so

to php.ini as instructed.  I can see that zip.so was created and placed in the right extension_dir folder as well.  I restarted apache and then checked to see if it was loaded by running: 

    php -m

Despite all of this, &quot;zip&quot; is still not in that list.

Am I missing a step or doing something wrong?  I thought this should be really simple, and I&#39;m starting to feel pretty dumb, haha.

Other probably important stuff:

CentOS
Apache 2.2.3
PHP 5.2.16



Installing PHP Zip Extension

I have installed and web application which is running on port 8080 on RHEL (centOS). I only have command line access to that machine. I have tried to access that application from my windows machine from which I am connected to server via command-line, but it is giving connection time out error.

Then I have tried to open port 8080. I have added following entry into the iptables.

&gt;-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

After adding this into the iptables I have restarted it with - 
`/etc/init.d/iptables restart`

But still I am not able to access that application from my windows machine.

Am I doing any mistake or missing something?
