Reboot in single user mode. Get your files backed up. If that doesn't work, take the drive out of the system and get the files off it from a new system.
If it's corrupt, that sucks. Take it data recovery if you don't have backups.
Check fdisk, check fstab, or reinstall. Try not to bork your system again.

Hi,
I would like to ask the user to enter a command that will be executed, but I don't understand why I can't assign two commands to the same variable.
Here is the code:
user@localhost:~# read -ep "command: " cmd ; "$cmd"
And result:
command: id ; date
-bash: id ; date : command not found
but if I type a single command, it works.
Thanks for your help

When the user types in id; date, that's the value of the $cmd variable. So when you want to execute the command, its as if you had typed "id; date" at the command line, including the quote marks. So the bash interpreter is looking for a command named id; date. Its not treating this as "subscript" to be parsed and executed. For that you'll need to use eval
[k5054@localhost ~]$ cmd="id; date"
[k5054@localhost ~]$ $cmd
-bash: id;: command not found
[k5054@localhost ~]$ eval $cmd
uid=1002(k5054) gid=1002(k5054) groups=1002(k5054)

[k5054@localhost ~]$

I spent an hour earlier trying to figure out a way to do this. I need get my Unix books out of storage.

I am developing a website that uses javascript, php and jQuery.
One of the screens executes a php that connects to the IP of another PC that
is on the same network as the PC with the web server.
However, this PHP fails because it doesn't have access to the other PC.
Both PCs have Debian 11 installed.
Seeing that in any of them to ping the other, it is necessary to do it with sudo, I thought that the problem may be in that it is necessary to add the web user (www-data) to the netdev group, like so I have executed the command:
$ sudo adduser www-data netdev
Adding user `www-data' to group `netdev' ...
Adding user www-data to group netdev
Done.
But the php is still unable to access the other PC.
Should I configure something else?
Any comment or suggestion is welcome.

Check the firewall settings on the destination PC. You may be blocking the port on the destination for incoming connections. There's an article that may help here: IBM Documentation

I'm not sure exactly what that means. You should be able to ping a (reachable) host without needing sudo. For example, assuming that you have your resolver and gateways correctly configured you should be able to
ping 8.8.8.8
ping google.com
ping 192.168.100.100
etc

This is a php that runs on PC1 and calls another php on PC2, where the IP of PC1 and PC2 are known.
The call made by the php on PC1 is as follows:
$file_headers = @get_headers(http:
How can I know which port would need to be opened on PC2?

Since you're using http then that would be port 80. If you've installed a web server on PC2, then you may already have port 80 open. You can check to make sure that the port is open using nc
nc -z -w 1 IpPC2 80; echo $? $? is the return value of the last command, so if it's 0 then the connection was successful. Anything other than 0, and the connection failed. Make sure you've got a web server running on PC2. You can do that using netstat
[k5054@localhost: ~$ sudo netstat -tlnp
Active Internet connections (only servers)

Thank you very much.
With your instructions I have been able to verify that port 80 is open on PC2 and that Apache is listening on port 80.
$ sudo netstat -tlnp
Activate Internet connections (only servers)
. . .
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 967/apache2
. . .
Later I was able to find an error in a configuration file of PC1, which was the cause of the error.

You probably deleted the partition but didn't update your grub configs. As far as how to update Grub... I bet Google knows.

Hi,
I am running Slackware current with a 5.18.7 kernel. The motherboard it was running on has been switched, and because I was presented with a grub-rescue prompt (only after the motherboard switch, worked perfect prior to this) I chose to reinstall. Now what is happening is the grub-rescue prompt it displayed on the screen for a second or 2 and then the normal grub menu shows up and boots properly. I can't figure out how to fix this for the main drive was formatted and partitioned during install. It has 2 partitions on it a 4GB swap and the remainder of the 2TB drive for /. The second drive is also a 2TB drive both same make and model and has 1 partition on it /home which was not formatted during install, so all the files and so forth remain intact after the user is re-added. I should mention I am using grub version 2.06. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

According to my reading of the documentation that should work, so I am afraid I have no more ideas.

You may or may not have access to a GRUB environment block (of which you make no mention).
Quote: For safety reasons, this storage is only available when installed on a plain disk (no LVM or RAID), using a non-checksumming filesystem (no ZFS), and using BIOS or EFI functions (no ATA, USB or IEEE1275).
grub-mkconfig uses this facility to implement ‘GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT’ (see Simple configuration).

Quote: The environment block is a preallocated 1024-byte file, which normally lives in /boot/grub/grubenv (although you should not assume this). At boot time, the load_env command (see load_env) loads environment variables from it, and the save_env (see save_env) command saves environment variables to it. From a running system, the grub-editenv utility can be used to edit the environment block.

I just tried this and it works correctly. Whatever is happening on your system is unique to you, and may have something to do with previous questions which suggest that your installation is not very stable.
