I usually use the command line bellow to remove directories on file system. But, for the 1st time find is returning names with white spaces on it, and rm doesn't recognize it.

find . -name .AppleDouble* -exec rm -rf {} \;

It throws the following error: find: './Aerosmith/Young Lust/.AppleDouble': No such file or directory

Is it possible to achieve it using just a single line like this one? Or should I use some kind of script? If the script is the solution, please, could you post an example?

I'm trying to use awk to parse an output generated by a java application, but it isn't working. It seems that the command after the pipe isn't able to get/see the data throwed by the java app.

I'm executing the following command (with the return generated by the command):

[root@localhost]# java -jar jmxclient.jar usr:pass host:port java.lang:type=Threading ThreadCount
06/11/2010 15:46:37 -0300 org.archive.jmx.Client ThreadCount: 103

What I need it's only the last part of the string. So I'm tryng to use awk (with pipe at the end of the line |awk -F ':' '{print $4}':

[root@localhost]# java -jar jmxclient.jar usr:pass host:port java.lang:type=Threading ThreadCount|awk -F ':' '{print $4}'

But the output isn't being parsed. It throws the entire string: 06/11/2010 15:46:37 -0300 org.archive.jmx.Client ThreadCount: 103

I also tryed to use |cut -f4 -d":" with the same result: the string isn't parsed.

So my question is, how do I parse the output in order to get just the number at the end of the string?

TIA,

Bob

I was wondering if someone here has had an enterprise experience running a "NetBIOS-free" network. I have in mind a mid to big Windows-based network.

I found some good posts here, here and here.

I would like to know if someone actually works (or worked) in a company that completely disabled NetBIOS? Was this scenario achieved painlessly?

What motivated me to ask this is that when I run certain tools to identify security problems in my network, most of them are related to NetBIOS. Of course I could try to do hardening, but since NetBIOS seems to be deprecated, why not completely turn it off?

We are facing a virus problem on our network, but I'm unable to identify it, so we can't properly deal with it.

The symptoms are that the virus duplicates a word document (.doc) generating a new archive with the same name, but with an exe extension, and, after that, the virus hides the original file.

So, when the user clicks over the file, it propagates itself.

Symantec AV seems to be able to block it: every time that the virus tries to generate the exe, symantec blocks it, but at this point, the original file was already converted to hidden, so the user thinks that the file has been deleted.

Symantec identifies it as a simple trojan horse. I already started a full scan, but it didn't found nothing.

I'm trying to know the virus name in order to fight it.

Does anyone has any kind of information?

TIA,

Bob

I'm doing a script in which I need to test a string and based on its result I'll decide if I go further or not.

The command below works fine (if the string starts with "Clean" it will print 1, otherwise 0).

echo | awk ' {print index("'"${task}"'", "Clean")}'

What I'm trying to do is to use the AWK with IF in a BASH script. Based on this post I did the following:

idx=$(awk '{print index("'"${task}"'", "Clean")}')
echo $idx
if [ "$idx" == "0" ]; then
   echo hello
fi

As I said, when I run the script it prints "0", but the second "echo" doesn't print anything, and of course the if doesn't works either.

Can anyone help me?

TIA,

Bob
