http://ubuntuforums.org – I have an issue with one of my servers running Ubuntu. MySQL is not working because the disk is "full". I checked the root directory and there's 218GB of data in there but the du command won't tell me where it's all located. (unless I've missed something!) Also, I don't know why I'm using 218gb of data all of a sudden because I've not put more than 15GB of data on it myself, including the OS. Output: du -h 32K ./Desktop/misc/st temp/do_not_upload/rewrite/apache2 44K ./Desktop/misc/st temp/do_not_upload/rewrite 84K ./Desktop/misc/st temp/do_not_upload/blog 64K ./De (Hardware)

I have a large Postgres database on Ubuntu 12 (+100GB). I have an old, SATA-based, spinning drive and a new SSD drive. I mainly do data analysis on Postgres (big, ugly select statements). I see a few options:

SSD for data and OS. Spinning for temp space. SSD for data. Spinning for OS and temp space. SSD for OS. Spinning for data and temp space.

I'm thinking that option #2 is the best.

Suppose I run the following command.

Code: sgy@za-box:~$ cp -v .profile /data/ibook/sgy/misc/.profile-za-box Now, I would like to perform the same operation but with file .inputrc.

Looks at the most efficient way to add up the column of data based off of the rows.

Random data Name-Number-ID Sarah-2.0-15 Bob-6.3-15 Sally-1.0-10 James-1.0-10 Scotty-10.7-15

So I would select all those who have ID = 15 and then add up total number

Code: read - p "Enter ID number" Num

i have windows 64bit and downloaded ubuntu 64bit. i am trying to install it inside windows but unable to do so.

I have One file - temp.txt - which contains

ABCDF

PQRST

LMNOP

I tried this cut command

$ cut -c 2-5 temp.txt BCDF

QRST

MNOP

output is right.

$ cut -c 1,2,3,4 temp.txt ABCD

PQRS

LMNO

output is right.

But when I change sequence, meaning

$ cut -c 2-4,1 temp.txt ABCD

PQRS

LMNO

above output displayed.

but logically output is

BCDA

QRSP

MNOL

so my question is how this happen

HI All,

I am using grep command to serach a pattern in a list of files and storing the output in a variable. Then i am applying some logic on that variable to get the required output.

I want to run a command and save its output and its exit code, in different files.

Here's what i am doing:

cmd.exe /C command 1> %TEMP%\output.log 2> %TEMP%\error.log && echo %ERRORLEVEL% > %TEMP%\status || echo %ERRORLEVEL% > %TEMP%\status

If i don't do output redirection (into %TEMP%\output.log and/or %TEMP%\error.log), then exit code is saved just fine. However, when i r
