We only consider the option, -R, which means that chmod will recursively apply the permission setup to all subdirectories and its files below fileDir Permissions could be in one of the following formats: (1) Octal numeric format, e.g., 0255 or 255. (2) Text format like a+r, u=rwx", or o-w. You can use several comma separated text form permissions. We have the following parameters for the permission: Three types of permissions r sets the read permission. w sets write permission. x sets execute permission. Who receive the permissions u sets permissions for the owner. g sets permissions for the group. o sets permissions for other users. a sets permissions for all (owner, group and others). Set permissions = assigns permissions, e.g. "a=rw", sets read and write permissions and disables execution for all. - remove permissions, e.g. "a-x" disables (remove) execution permission from everyone; read and write permission will remain unchanged. + add permissions, e.g. "a+x" add execution permission to everyone; read and write permission will remain unchanged. More examples prompt% chmod 755 hello.java prompt% chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx hello.java prompt% chmod u=rwx,go=rx hello.java prompt% chmod u+rwx,g+rx,g-w,o+rx,o-w hello.java prompt% chmod u+rwx,go+rx,go-w hello.java c Chung-Chih Li P-2/2.

  • DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software
    DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software DC Console is easy-to-use, application design software developed specifically to work in conjunction with AML’s DC Suite. Create. Distribute. Collect. Every LDX10 handheld computer comes with DC Suite, which includes seven (7) pre-developed applications for common data collection tasks. Now LDX10 users can use DC Console to modify these applications, or create their own from scratch. AML 800.648.4452 Made in USA www.amltd.com Introduction This document briefly covers how to use DC Console and the features and settings. Be sure to read this document in its entirety before attempting to use AML’s DC Console with a DC Suite compatible device. What is the difference between an “App” and a “Suite”? “Apps” are single applications running on the device used to collect and store data. In most cases, multiple apps would be utilized to handle various operations. For example, the ‘Item_Quantity’ app is one of the most widely used apps and the most direct means to take a basic inventory count, it produces a data file showing what items are in stock, the relative quantities, and requires minimal input from the mobile worker(s). Other operations will require additional input, for example, if you also need to know the specific location for each item in inventory, the ‘Item_Lot_Quantity’ app would be a better fit. Apps can be used in a variety of ways and provide the LDX10 the flexibility to handle virtually any data collection operation. “Suite” files are simply collections of individual apps. Suite files allow you to easily manage and edit multiple apps from within a single ‘store-house’ file and provide an effortless means for device deployment.

  • Cluster Generate — Generate Grouping Variables from a Cluster Analysis
    Title stata.com cluster generate — Generate grouping variables from a cluster analysis Description Quick start Menu Syntax Options Remarks and examples Also see Description cluster generate creates summary or grouping variables from a hierarchical cluster analysis; the result depends on the function. A single variable may be created containing a group number based on the requested number of groups or cutting the dendrogram at a specified (dis)similarity value. A set of new variables may be created if a range of group sizes is specified. Users can add more cluster generate functions; see[ MV] cluster programming subroutines. Quick start Generate grouping variable g5 with 5 groups from the most recent cluster analysis cluster generate g5 = groups(5) As above, 4 grouping variables (g4, g5, g6, and g7) with 4, 5, 6, and 7 groups cluster generate g = groups(4/7) As above, but use the cluster analysis named myclus cluster generate g = groups(4/7), name(myclus) Generate grouping variable mygroups from the most recent cluster analysis by cutting the dendrogram at dissimilarity value 38 cluster generate mygroups = cut(38) Menu Statistics > Multivariate analysis > Cluster analysis > Postclustering > Summary variables from cluster analysis 1 2 cluster generate — Generate grouping variables from a cluster analysis Syntax Generate grouping variables for specified numbers of clusters cluster generate newvar j stub = groups(numlist) , options Generate grouping variable by cutting the dendrogram cluster generate newvar = cut(#) , name(clname) option Description name(clname) name of cluster analysis to use in producing new variables ties(error) produce error message for ties; default ties(skip) ignore requests that result in ties ties(fewer) produce results for largest number of groups smaller than your request ties(more) produce results for smallest number of groups larger than your request Options name(clname) specifies the name of the cluster analysis to use in producing the new variables.

Access Permissions • A super user: – has the maximum set of privileges in the system – also know as system administrator – can change the system – must have a lot of experience and training • Users can be organized into groups. • One or more users can belong to multiple groups. 1 2 1 2 Figure 4-5 Access Permission Code Directory and File Permissions • The protection on a file is referred to as its file modes • Linux supports three types of access permissions: r read w write x execute - permission denied Linux assigns different permission to owner, group and other users 3 4 3 4 Access Types Checking Permissions • To check the permissions of an existing file or an Access Type Meaning on File Meaning on Dir. existing directory, use the command: ls –l r (read) View file contents List directory contents • Example: (open, read) ux% ls –l unix w (write) Change file contents - Change directory contents - Be careful !!! total 387 drwxr--r-- 1 z036473 student 862 Feb 7 19:22 unixgrades -rw-r--r-- 1 z036473 student 0 Jun 24 2003 uv.nawk x (execute) Run executable file - Make it your cwd -rw-r--r-- 1 z036473 student 0 Jun 24 2003 wx.nawk - Access files (by name) in it -rw-r--r-- 1 z036473 student 0 Jun 24 2003 yz.nawk - Permission denied Permission denied 5 6 5 6 1 22-Feb-19 Figure 4-7 Figure 4-6 Changing Permissions The chmod Command 7 8 7 8 Figure 4-8 Changing Permissions: Symbolic Mode Changing Permissions: Symbolic Mode ux% ls -li sort.c 118283 -rw-r--r-- 1 krush csci 80 Feb 27 12:23 sort.c Example 1: To change the permissions on the file “sort.c” using Symbolic mode, so that: a) Everyone may read and execute it b) Only the owner and group may write to it.

  • Unix, Standard I/O and Command Line Arguments Overview Redirection
    Unix, Standard I/O and command line arguments For any programming assignments I give you, I expect a program that reads and writes to standard input and output, taking any extra parameters from the command line. This handout explains how to do that. I have also appended a small appendix of useful Unix commands. I recommend that you go to a Unix terminal and type in and run all of the examples in the gray boxes. You can do this from the Terminal application on a MacIntosh, or from a terminal window in GNU/Linux or any Unix-like operating system, from Cygwin in Windows maybe, or by connecting to bingsuns using SSH. Overview Most programming languages feature “standard,” or default, input and output channels where I/O goes unless otherwise specified. In C, the functions scanf(), gets() and getchar() read from standard input, while printf(), puts() and putchar() write to standard output. In Tcl, the gets and puts commands read and write standard input and output. In awk and perl, you just sort of use the force and your program receives a line of input from somewhere. Letʼs stick with C for the time being.1 When a program runs from a terminal, standard input is usually the userʼs keyboard input, while standard output is displayed as text on-screen. Unix and Unix-like operating systems allow you to intercept the standard I/O channels of a program to redirect them into files or other programs. This gives you the ability to chain many simple programs to do something genuinely useful.
