Are these normal or back quotes?

yes. it is .. Single quote. 1-Key right of L.

I think it should be the backquote '`' character which is just below the Esc key on my keyboard. I think in your case you have passed the string 'ls a' to the -name condition, whereas you actually want the output from the ls a command, so it needs to be put in backquotes for the shell to interpret correctly.

I rectified with backquote now..
----@---.-- [~/public_html/user/unixp]# find ./b -name `ls -a` -exec rm {}\;
find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames do). That means that '-name ./' will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system. You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'. Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ ./'.
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]
now ?

Erm, you changed ls a to ls -a!

That's why! It has given you a complete explanation of the issue. Your ls command is still listing the directories with trailing '/' characters and the find command does not like it. I don't know which version of UNIX this is but there should be an option to suppress these characters. Take a look at the man page for ls. Also check whether you have aliased the command to set some default options.

You're on the right track. You don't need the -name parameter, though you'll probably want to make sure that each thing "find" locates is a file, and not something else like a directory or symlink.
"find" can be somewhat annoying in that it will spit out the entire relative pathname for each file it finds. That is,
find ./dirA -type f
will yield
./dirA/file1<br />
./dirA/file2
To get around that, just chdir into dirA before doing the find.
$ cd dirA
$ touch file1 file2 file4 file5
$ cd ../dirB
$ touch file1 file3 file5 file6
$ cd ..
$ ls dirA
file1 file2 file4 file5
$ ls dirB
file1 file3 file5 file6
$ cd dirA
$ find . -type f -exec rm -f ../dirB/{} \;
$ cd ..
$ ls dirA
file1 file2 file4 file5
$ ls dirB
file3 file6

hello
Anyone has idea what's the difference between Norton Ghost Suite (http://www.symantec.com/business/ghost-solution-suite) and regular Norton Ghost (http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost)
I looked at system requirement looks like "Norton Ghost Suite" supports Windows 2003 Enterprise, regular "Norton Ghost" don't.
For Windows 7 Enterprise, seems like both can do the job.
Am I right ..?
Thanks

Symantec Ghost solution suite is the original Disk cloning program (made by Binary Research) made for cloning disks so that you can install many identical computers in a corporate environment.
Norton Ghost is the old Powerquest DriveImage which IMHO is nothing more than a backup program for home use on steroids.
Symantec = Business users.
Norton = Home users.

Is there any term available named "Robot" which is related with CD writing/burning Software?

The only one I can think of would be a device used to remove and insert CD's into the drive for you.

Hi All,
How to protect CD/DVD from copying the data file (e.g., *.PDF).
Best Regards,
Saravanan T
|
|

|

use power2go software, this will protect your CD or DVD with password and encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, but once those are entered, there is nothing stopping the user from copying the data off the disk and burning it to another one.

Do not post the same question to multiple forums. This is called spamming and is cosidered very rude.

Hi, As far as I know, windows grant the permission to the file on the server based on the SID of the user account.
But my laptop that join to the domain which already has the local user account and password that the same as the domain user account and password when it mapped the network drive, it could map successfully and could do anything as the permission which is grant to my domain user account.
Why this is possible while the SID of my domain user account is difference with the SID of my local user account?
Thank in advance!!!

Mapping drive doesn't use a SID. It uses a username and password which can be the same between two accounts in different SAMs. When you mapped the drive, you did so using the account in the domain SAM and not the local account.
Other than that, your description of the circumstances isn't entirely clear.

I would like to set up an environment where I have a primary domain controller and AD on a VPC, and then authenticate to that domain from my VPC host, which plays the role of a workstation.
How can I go about this? I am running SBS 2003 as the guest VPC
