Removing RMAN backup files from RMAN prompt

DB version: 10.2.0.4
OS : AIX
Due to space constraints, we had to change our retention policy today. So, i need to remove some old backup files manually to free up some space. Should i remove the backup files from OS using rm command and then issue a
delete expired backup;from RMAN prompt?
Or is there another recommended way?

If you remove them manually from the O/S, then you'll have to perform a CROSSCHECK BACKUP prior to the DELETE EXPIRED.
Or once you change your retention policy you could issue DELETE OBSOLETE, which may be the safer way to ensure you don't accidentally remove wrong backup files.

"list backup of tablespace" - Not coming out back to RMAN prompt

Hi All,
We have a script to perform the restore and recover test process.
In that we have given the command "list backup of tablespace <tablespace name > summary" to check if the tablespace is backedup successfully.
Its returning the list of backup pieces, but it hangs in that stage without coming back to RMAN prompt.
I have manually loged in to rman session and typed "list backup of tablespace <tablespace name > summary", after listing the backup it hangs and not coming back to RMAN prompt.
Please advice on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

And your version and operating system are?
Is this a production system with other things running or a home machine with minimal resources?

Using Echo Command in PowerShell Script for Configuration Item

Hello All,
Before you tell me to post my PowerShell question to the PowerShell Forum, please know that the PowerShell portion of my task works just fine. It is the SCCM portion of my task that keeps failing, so that is why I am here. To give some background...
There are two servers in our SCCM test environment. Both the SCCM server and SQL DB server are 2012, patched and updated.
Test servers in my Device Collection being used for running Baselines and Reports against are 2008R2 and 2012, patched and updated.
I have created a Configuration Item that checks to see if the FTP Server Role Feature has been installed on a 2008 or 2012 server. To do the check, I am using the following PowerShell script:
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed
When I log into my 2008R2 and 2012 test servers, and run this command directly on the server, it will return a "True" if the FTP Server Role Feature is installed on either server, and a "False" if it is not installed. Basically,
it works as advertised.
When I setup my Configuration Item and then deploy my Baseline, or run a report against my device collection of test servers, SCCM will return a correct response (True or False) for the 2012 test server, but throws the following error for the 2008R2
server:
0x87df00329 application requirement evaluation or detection failed
Google searches for this have not been very helpful.
Now, when I created the Configuration Item and referenced PowerShell, the configuration screen has the following note:
"Specify the script to find and return the value to be assessed for compliance on client devices. Use the echo command to return the script value to Configuration Manager."
Since I did not include an echo command in my PowerShell script above, I figured that was my problem, so I did the following:
Logging onto both of my test servers (2008R2 & 2012) I was able to successfully run the following PowerShell commands and get the expected responses of True or False:
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | echo
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | write-output (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849921.aspx)
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | write-host (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177031.aspx)
However, when I use any of these PowerShell commands in my Configuration Item, NEITHER of my test servers returns a response to the SCCM server.
When I check the report, both servers show as "Unknown" and when I click on the number 2 (as in 2 servers unknown), the following report page (List of unknown assets for a configuration baseline) has absolutely no data/information at all.
So...I am at a loss.
SCCM tells me to use an echo command to return a script value to Configuration Manager. The PowerShell scripts above, with the various echo related commands, work just fine on the servers themselves, but they return no information when run via SCCM.
What am I missing?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand. (I forgot to mention that I am new at both PowerShell and SCCM.)
After I change the PowerShell script to add the echo/write-output/write-host cmdlet, I open the ConFig Item and "Clear" the PowerShell script and then re-add it. When I do that, it correctly shows the change in the ConFig Item.
Next I open the Baseline, then open the ConFig Item within the Baseline to make sure the change is reflected there as well, which it is.
I then deploy the Baseline to my Device Collection. After that, I run a report against the Baseline and Device Collection and it returns the "Unknown" result.
If I open the PowerShell script and remove the echo/write-output/write-host cmdlet, then go through the rest of the process of updating and reporting, the result it returns changes, showing one server in compliance and the other server out of compliance,
which leads me to think that all changes have taken correctly.
Does that sound right? If I manually deploy the Baseline, is that the same as the client retrieving policies from the management point?
Sorry to be so thick but I'm learning as I go.
Thanks again for your help.

How to put echo command and other command in same line in Terminal

Variant of expect command having similar functionality in Solaris OS??

Hi All,
I am using one shell script in Linux with expect 5.38 command utility, this script contain ssh and sftp. Now same shell script I need to use in Solaris (SunOS eupr0016 5.9 Generic_118558-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440) but issue is that the Solaris OS doesnt have expect utility.
Please let me know, is there any other variant of expect command/utility having similar functionality to use on Solaris OS.
Thanks

Run 'echo' command at boot.

Hey!
I am trying to run the following command at boot:
"echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
So far I've tried in /etc/rc.local. That didn't work
Any thoughts?

I can think of a primitive way to do it, but there's probably a better (and simpler) way than this...
Edit ~/.xinitrc and add your command above the "exec ..." line:
$ nano ~/.xinitrc
echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness &
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
The "&" at the end should be probably added in, for good measure. Backgrounding this task is (probably) a good idea, else your GNOME session (or whatever DE/WM you use) may not start.
Then edit your sudoers file, so that it doesn't ask for a password:
$ sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nano
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
dspider arch=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /usr/bin/pacman -Syu, /bin/echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
The easier way is to use the "-b" flag from gtk-redshift (inspired by f.lux):
# pacman -S redshift
$ gtk-redshift -l 44.42:26.10 -b 0.5 -g 0.8 -t 6500:3800 -m vidmode &

Terminal command or similar

Hello!
I need some help, i want an ending of all my files in a folder to be .jpg or jpeg Is there anyway to do this easy without go manually through all 500 files one by one? The endings of the files variates alot, so, any easy command i can type in the terminal or perhaps a freeware program that can fix this for me? I'm not happy about the thought to go through all files and write ".jpg" in filenames.
Using OS X Mountain Lion. V 10.8.2
Thanks!

Just chiming in to say I'd like to see a fix for this too. I put different windows onto different desktops because they're part of a completely separate work flow; when I use Application Exposé, I don't want to see windows from a different task entirely.
