List running processes

ps

Use a pipe grep (|grep) to select users or processes names.

Useful options :

• a : all processes, not only current user's process
• u : sorted by user
• f : show arborescence

exemple ci-dessous : ps fau | grep matlab

 gostiaux@eres0vmbig2:/.fsnet/data/eres/coriolis-home/gostiaux$ ps fau |grep matlab

List process with a given processname (list of PID numbers): ps -u 'username' | grep processname (|grep detects a string in any display)

kill process

kill 'number PID' or stronger  'kill -9 'numero PID' 

(case of thunderbird: need also to suppress lock files, use command 'rmLock')

Synchronisation of files

rsync -a rep1 rep2/   

(be careful with / , synchronise the directory "rep1" with rep1 existing in rep2 ;)

Change file access properties

• examples (can be performed only by the file owner):

• change all png files to read-only in the current directory:

   chmod ugo-w *.png
  

• provide writing access for your group to a directory dirname (or to a file):

  chmod ugo+ws dirname
  

Monitor disk space

 df -a

gives all the partitions and their status

 du --max-depth=2 -h

browse recursively a folder, and gives the space of each block

example :

 gostiaux@eres0vmbig2:/fsnet/project/coriolis/2011$ du --max-depth=1 -h
 0       ./lost+found
 556G    ./11KUROSHIOMANI
 337G    ./11BORDES
 625G    ./11TRANSTEK
 1,5T 

Monitor users

List potentially connected users

 ps faux | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sort | uniq

loadaing the source of uvmat as zip file on the web server

1. get an updated version from the svn server by typing:

svn checkout ​http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-uvmat/trunk/src uvmat

2. compress the folder uvmat as a zip archive, name it as uvmat.v....zip with ... =version number
3. transfer the archive to the web site using cadaver (like FTP):
