denormalizer's questions

Is it possible to setup one virtual host configuration for multiple subdomains using some sort of pattern matching?

What I want to achieve is something like the following:

<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40>
  ServerName www.([a-z]+).domain.tld
  DocumentRoot /www/subdomains/$1
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache/$1_error_log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache/$1_access_log
</VirtualHost>

I accidentally added a bunch of cache files into the repo. I've now removed them and now want to commit the change to the repo.

So I tried to do the following, but git doesn't seem to like it:

git diff --name-only | grep '/cache/' | xargs git add

Error:

warning: You ran 'git add' with neither '-A (--all)' or '--ignore-removal',
whose behaviour will change in Git 2.0 with respect to paths you removed.
Paths like 'sym_online_app_bs3/cache/demo_cust_can_create_tickets' that are
removed from your working tree are ignored with this version of Git.

* 'git add --ignore-removal <pathspec>', which is the current default,
  ignores paths you removed from your working tree.

* 'git add --all <pathspec>' will let you also record the removals.

Run 'git status' to check the paths you removed from your working tree.

I don't want to git add --all because there are some other changes I don't want committed yet.

Has anybody had to do something similar and have a solution to this.

Thanks

Update

Git interactive is an acceptable alternative for now. But would be interested to find out how to go down the xargs route.

git -i

When executing a command such as this

git pull origin BRANCH-1

and hitting tab (auto complete)

I get a password prompt like so:

git pull origin BRANCH-1Password: 

Then the terminal freezes. The cursor blinks but it would not accept any input from the keyboard. I can't Ctrl+c or enter the password.

The only option is to close down the terminal which is sending me nuts.

What are my options?

I want to do something like this

du -a | sort -rn | head

But I want to extract files only, ignoring directories.

To be clear, I want to traverse through all sub-directories but I don't want to find directory sizes. Just files sizes.

UPDATE

I also want to return the full path of the files

When doing an rsync pull from a remote server using the following command:

/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh --delete --chmod=a+rwx,g+rwx,o-wx --dry-run username@server:/remote/path/ /home/dir/local/path

I get the following error:

receiving file list ... Invalid flist flag: 1004
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(2354) [Receiver=3.0.7]

When doing the reverse (ie. PUSH) from remote to local, i get the following:

building file list ... Invalid flist flag: 1004
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at flist.c(2354) [Receiver=3.0.7]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(468) [sender=2.6.8]

I've tried removing the parameters one by one and it seems to be related to the -a flag

Environment

# local machine
Linux lbox 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
# rsync version
rsync  version 3.0.7  protocol version 30

# remote machine
FreeBSD rbox 6.4-STABLE FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE #0: Mon Feb 22 01:05:13 EST 2010     UNIX-BSD
rsync  version 2.6.8  protocol version 29

Can this be resolved easily?

I'm logging into a remote linux box:

 Linux lbox 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 23:13:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and my keyboard mapping seems to have gone down the drain.

up: ^[[A
down: ^[[B
right: ^[[C
left: ^[[D
tab: Real tab (doesn't do auto-completion)

What is happening?

I have some files in the filesystem that end with a trailing slash like so:

my_text_file_1.txt\
some_other_file_2.pl\

I usually use find for these cases, but the following did not work:

find . -name "*\\"

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I have bunch of files on the remote server.

I'm not interested in most of them, except for .pl files.

I want to get a copy of these on my local computer.

What is the best way to do this (at the same try preserving its path)?

I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of:

find . -name "*.pl" | xargs scp localuser@localip

Sadly doesn't do the trick. Anyone have better ideas?

Getting all extensions for a directory: easy. Getting file counts for a particular extension: easy.

But getting all file extensions and their respective file counts is alluding me.

eg.

+ dir
 + abc.txt
 + def.txt
 + abc.pdf
 * def.pov

should return something like:

.txt 2
.pdf 1
.pov 1

The aim of this exercise is that I want to find out which file extension is popular in a certain directory.

Thanks in advance
