How can I change the owner and permission of this hard drive ?

am using the sendmail to send an email and configure it as the following :
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc

define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp-server')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/authinfo')dnl

/etc/mail/authinfo

AuthInfo:smtp-server "U:[email protected]" "P:password" "M:PLAIN"

after that i run the following command :
$ m4 sendmail.mc >sendmail.cf
$ makemap hash authinfo < authinfo
$ /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

and test it with :
/usr/sbin/sendmail -v [email protected] < body.txt

but still cant receive any email ?? and i got the following error

Deferred: Name server:smtp-server-name: host name lookup failure <br>

i tried i can ping to the smtp server , and i run the command dig smpt-server-name
i cant see any thing wrong ... why i got this message and cant revise an email.

I am trying write a script to find all changes (modify,create,delete) in a list of directories for last 24h, as the following :

#!/bin/bash

LOGDIR=change_log
FILETYPE=*.php
DIR=www
OUTPUT=$LOGDIR/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log


function start_check {
    for i in `find . -name $DIR -type d`;do
        used=0
        for j in `find $i -name "${FILETYPE}"`;do           
            case `find $j -mtime -1` in
                '');;
                *)  
                    if [ "$used" = "0" ];then
                        current_directory=`echo $i | cut -d'/' -f2`
                        display "$current_directory"
                    fi
                        echo $j >> $OUTPUT
                        used=1
                ;;
            esac
        done
    done
}

function display {
    echo "---------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT;
    echo "$@" >> $OUTPUT;
    echo "---------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT;

}

MAIN(){
    echo "START CHECKING" > $OUTPUT
    start_check;
}

ANY HELP

Information:
-i have a public ip and domain name .
-website and mail server (sendmail) in same server with ubuntu OS

i got the following error :
PHPMAILER_EXECUTE/usr/sbin/sendmail, and i tried configure mail server in joomla to php mail function: could not instantiate php mail function

I'd like to change the IP address in this string with some user input:

rmi.sceduling.service.url=rmi\://192.168.0.19\:1199/ScedulingService

The code should also work if there is no address:

rmi.sceduling.service.url=

It should also be portable, at least to Solaris.

The code I am using at the moment:

value=`grep 'rmi' application.properties \
| awk -F":" '{print $2}' \
| awk -F"\'" '{print $1}'
| cut -d '/' -f 3-5 `

sed -e "s/$value/$host_ip/g" application.properties > file.tmp \
&& mv file.tmp application.properties

I want to write shell script file that has a GUI with multiple input boxes for user entry. I already tried zenity. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

What is best way to install a Cisco VPN client application in Ubuntu?

I tried the following command in my script:

find=grep "$jasper" jasperreports.properties | awk -F"reports/" '{print $2}'

Example output:

maps

I want to change this output to something else, e.g. charts. For that, I tried:

sed -i /"$find"/charts

sed is causing me problems, it needs an input file but I don't have one. Is there a way to pipe the output from grep and awk to sed?

i was thinking in way that before run my script , evaluate which operating system that user use ubuntu or solaris , am using this because there is some differences
in command option in each OS such as sed .. , i was trying the following :

sysEval=`grep "ubuntu" | uname -a`

if [ sysEval ]; then

.......some command 

else ....... some command
fi

NOTE That my script will run only in ubuntu or solaris
seems not working !

How can I read file in shell script , then assign each line to an variable that i can use later ,,,(am thinking in way to load an default setting from file)

i already try :

process (){

}

FILE=''
read -p "Please enter name of default file : " FILE

if [ ! -f $FILE  ]; then

    echo "$FILE : does not exists "
    exit 1
elif [ ! -r $FILE  ]; then

    echo "$FILE : can not read "
fi

exec 0<"$FILE"
n=0
while read -r line
do
   (assign each line to an variable) 
done

I'm trying to catch any error when run a command in order to write a log-file / report

I've tried this code:

    function valid (){

    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
     echo "$var1" ": status : OK" 
     else echo "$var1" ": status : ERROR"   
    fi
   }

function save(){

 sed -i "/:@/c connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@$ip:1521:$dataBase" $search
 var1="adding database ip"
 valid $var1

 sed -i "/connection.username/c connection.username=$name" #$search
 var1="addning database SID"
 valid $var1
}
save

The output looks like this:

adding database ip : status : OK
sed: no input file

But I want it to look like this:

adding database ip : status : OK
sed: no input file : status : ERROR"

or this:

adding database ip : status : OK
addning database SID : status : ERROR"

I've been trying, but it's not working with me. :(

Is there any way to check if there is an error in executing a command?

Example :

test1=`sed -i "/:@/c connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@$ip:1521:$dataBase" $search`
valid $test1

function valid () {
  if $test -eq 1; then
    echo "OK"
    else echo "ERROR" 
  fi
}

I already tried do that but it seems it isn't working. I don't how do that.

I want to copy a file into a ZIP or JAR archive.

Is that possible? If so how?

I want to search for a line that contains log4j and take 7 lines before and 3 lines after the match.

grep -B7 -A3 "log4j" web.xml

After that I want to add comment tags before this paragraph and after it.

<!--
paragraph that i found by grep
-->

I wrote this script bellow:

search=`find . -name 'web.xml'`
text=`grep -B7 -A3 "log4j" $search`
sed -i "/$text/c $newparagraph" $search

It's not working. Is there any way to just add comment symbol not replace the paragraph?

What I want to the script to do:

1. search for the paragraph
2. append
3. append --> at the end

Edit: This is the paragraph that am trying manipulate :

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listenerclass>
        org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
    </listener-class>
</listener>

This paragraph is part of many paragraphs! I want make it like this:

<!--
<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listenerclass>
        org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
    </listener-class>
</listener>
-->

How could I read user input as an array in the bash shell?

I'm having a problem using the sed command . I'm trying to write a bash script that does the following :

1. search for the line that contain :@
2. then save the line that contained :@ and replace it with new line

as in the following:

#! /bin/bash

echo "Please enter the ip address of you file"
read ipnumber
find=`grep ':@' application.properties` # find the line
input="connection.url=jdbc\racle\:thin\:@$ipnumber\:1521\:billz" # preparing new line
echo `sed "s/'${find}'/'${input}'/g" application.properties` # replace old with new line

The problem is: nothing happens.

I've already tried to use "${find}" instead of '${find}'
