Dots in Linux output [closed] 20 weeks 2 days ago

I am receiving an error from an application I am running

The error looks like this:

I am curious what the dots mean in /usr/local/bin/../../etc/

Is this a shortcut I can use for something when writing a bash script?

I know this is probably a Linux noob question...

I run ubuntu-12.04 desktop x86_64. I have a simple script that needs to be accessible from the Desktop and run as root:

$ cat ~/Desktop/flash.sh #!/bin/bash -

cd ~/tools sudo ~/tools/fastboot-HW.sh

I've read this and that and that also.

When i do: sudo sh /etc/rc.local it works perfect but when i reboot my system, it wont start.

There is my rc.local file:

Code: #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits.

How to build Shallot 41 weeks 6 days ago

I am trying to build Shallot. I run x64 Debian Sqeeze.

i ran punjab - BOSH connection manager - using twistd -y punjab.tac command in my centos but i am getting following error

Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/application/app.py", line 652, in run runApp(config) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 23, in runApp _SomeApplicati

I'd like to use setfacl so that anyone in group 'app' can edit any file contained within /usr/local/users/app regardless of what the traditional UNIX permissions say. I have two users john and ben. I tried to follow the instruction from another question, but john is not able to write to some files. It looks like this is because of the acl mask.
