/usr/bin binaries automatically executed?

"Houston, we have a problem"
I've put in /usr/bin/ a simple script  /usr/bin/pumount (I moved the original pumount in pumount_normal)
the pumount content is this:
#!/bin/bash
pumount_original $1
notify-send -i drive-removable-media 'USB storage device removed: ' $1
echo media_removed > /dev/vc/1
the problem is that it is AUTOMATICALLY launched at every startup, so (I suppose) every /usr/bin/ is launched on startup...
(I have my noteo notify the launch of the notify-send and "media_removed" appear on my vc1)
and this appen too for some other "folder" for scripts... (I tried /usr/sbin too)
now, maybe this is totally normal and I'm simply stupid (:P) but /usr/bin contains 1140 files on my system....
I'm not sure why this happen, and I reinstalled arch one month ago, so I don't think I already broke it << (I hope at least..)
Tell me if you too experiment this issue, and if it's an issue..
Thanks for the attention..
bye

why should my system call a "pumount " without args in the boot?
I think obviously there is a problem, the point is "it's only for me or for every archer?"
I have no idea why, I don't have that particular thing on my system. Now that iphitus gave you a reason, my scenario does not seem so laughable, does it? A lot more credible than "omg my system runs everything in /usr/bin/ on every boot!" (do you even realise what that would do?)
well, did you have an idea before iphitus pointed out this?
I just had mine script executed on every boot and I didn't found any reason for this...
I realise what that would do, but if I don't understand something I study it (tried to get it work for two hours) and, if I still don't understand, I ask to someone more expert.
excuse me if I choose this forum.. didn't know it was a philosophy forum, I thought it was ArchLinux forum.
edit:
for the fork bomb it was more a "demonstrative" thing that anything else... (the "aim" were more important of the "result")
if I had the will to crash his computer I would have tested it on my box first... don't you think?
anyway this is not the point.
next time I ask something stupid, please,  simply start reading another topic.
Nobody need that kind of help.

  • -bash: /usr/bin/grep: Bad executable (or shared library)

    I am receiving these error messages when I attempt to use grep, egrep, or fgrep from the terminal:

    Hi Greg,
       Sorry, otool is installed by Apple's Developer Tools package. The other listings you posted are also identical to mine so I'm stumped. I also have a G5 so the fact that your items are the same size as mine is at least strong evidence that they aren't corrupted.
       You can use the application Pacifist, to pull a new copy of grep from your Mac OS X install disk. It couldn't hurt to be sure.
       libSystem.B.dylib is in turn dependent on /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.A.dylib so there's one more possibility for a problem but there the dependency chain stops. Besides, if either of those libraries were corrupted, I would think you would have noticed something before.
       You should check to see if the following environment variable is defined: (it should not be defined)
    echo $DYLDLIBRARYPATH
    You should also login as another user (even if you have to create one temporarily) and execute grep. If that user can do it then the problem lies in the environment of your current user.

  • /usr/bin/ld: CANNOT EXECUTE binary file!

    So whenever I try to compile something, I get to the step
    checking for gcc... gcc
    checking for C compiler default output file name...
    configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
    See `config.log' for more details.
    And looking at the log, my problem is...
    /usr/bin/ld: /usr/bin/ld: cannot execute binary file
    Which... Is bad. Yes, I've tried chmodding it +x. I've also tried logging in as root and trying to run it, no luck.
    What's wrong? =/
    Would asking someone else with an iMac G5 to send me theirs, fix it?

    Running configure on all open source packages brings me to the ld cannot execute error in configure.log. In this case I was attempting to build libssh2 (SSH functions for PHP).

  • Are /usr/ubc binaries different than /usr/bin binaries?

    I am running SunOS 5.8 and I have following questions about solaris distribution:
    1. Are /usr/ucb binaries different than regular binaries like /usr/bin etc...
    Because at file level they appear to be the same:
    e.g. ps
    $ ls -ltr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps

    -r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/ps
    2. Are /usr/ubc binaries are part of standared solaris distribution?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am running SunOS 5.8 on SPARC I assume...
    and I have following
    questions about solaris distribution:
    1. Are /usr/ucb binaries different than regular
    binaries like /usr/bin etc...Yup (at least most of the time). /usr/ucb/ gives some behavior of older BSD systems for compatibility.
    Because at file level they appear to be the same:
    e.g. ps
    $ ls -ltr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps
    -r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/ps
    -r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/psThis is a side effect of a feature called 'isaexec'. You'll notice the link count is 38, so this file is linked as 38 different names.
    The 'ps' command looks through /proc, so the binary has to match the currently running kernel architecture (whether 32-bit or 64-bit). 'isaexec' allows you to have multiple binaries that are called properly based on architecture.
    On my machine:
    # ls -litr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps /usr/lib/isaexec
    18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/ps
    18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/lib/isaexec
    18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/ps
    So all 'isaexec' does is look for a binary with the same name as it was called in the architecture specific directories. So for /usr/ucb/ps, it's these:
    # ls -l /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 23504 Jul 15 2005 /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 32264 Jul 15 2005 /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
    And for /usr/bin/ps It's these:
    # ls -l /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps
    -r-sr-xr-x 1 root sys 29196 Jul 15 2005 /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps
    -r-sr-xr-x 1 root sys 38536 Jul 15 2005 /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps
    So different binaries (and different architectures):
    # file /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
    /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
    /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
    /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
    And you can use 'truss' to see how this works:
    /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
    Note that this feature (isaexec) has nothing specifically to do with /usr/ucb. It's used by any system binary that needs separate versions for 32-bit vs 64-bit to run properly. (truss, p*, uptime, ...)
    2. Are /usr/ubc binaries are part of standared
    solaris distribution?There's only one "Solaris" distribution, so yes. I believe they get installed at the 'user' installation level and above, but you'd have to check on that.

  • [SOLVED] Binaries move to /usr/bin - Few Questions

    Hi All-
    I just learned about this recent change to the filesystem. Wondering if this page outlines the correct steps for moving binaries to /usr/bin:
    https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/
    When I ran the second command (paclist...) on that page, I got a syntax error:
    bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
    Other than that, none of the commands listed on the page give me any results, so I'm assuming that means there are no conflicts and it's safe to run the final three commands to upgrade the system. Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi- Hmmm, I think this requires an explanation... I see that /bin /sbin/ and /usr/sbin directories are symbolic links, but what I meant is that if you cd into /bin for example, and do "file filename" on any file in there, it'll show that it's "dynamically linked"... I mistook this for meaning a symbolic link.

    How to rectify the above error ?
    Thanks in advance !

    The 7za executable is in the SUNWbzip Solaris 10 package on our systems (Solaris 10 Update 9). It appears that the file may have been in the SUNWp7zip package on some older update releases of Solaris 10 and later moved to SUNWbzip. It isn't clear to me whether or not this executable was available prior to the 5/08 update release. Anyway, I'd check and make sure SUNWbzip is installed. If it is and you don't have 7za you could check and see if SUNWp7zip is installed. If not, install it from you distribution media. If your release is too old to have it at all, you may have to load it from a newer distribution or another source.

  • Executing /usr/bin/mail From Within Daemon

    I've created a script that, among other things, sends an email to an external email address and it works fine from the command line.  When the same script is run periodically from within a daemon (i.e. launchctl), the email functionality of the script does not execute.  There are no errors in the system.log, the appfirewall.log or the mail.log.  All of my referenced paths are absolute.  I'm overlooking something, but don't know what.
    Python:
    cmd = "/bin/echo \"%s\" | /usr/bin/mail -s \"%s\" %s" % (messageText.strip(),subject,receiver)
    os.system(cmd)
    The question is, why does /usr/bin/mail not function correctly from within a daemon?
    I appreciate your assistance

    > Checked man mail but nothing that I could see...
    That's because you're looking in the wrong place
    mail uses your current login name combined with the domain settings for postfix, so it's postfix's configuration you need to be looking at.
    Specifically:
    /etc/postfix/main.cf
    which states:
    # The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted
    # mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname,
    # which is fine for small sites.
    So you should change the myorigin setting to reflect the @part of addresses for mail sent from this machine. It may be as simple as:
    myorigin = $mydomain
    if you just want to append your domain name.

  • [SOLVED] Freezing while executing /usr/bin/openbox from Openbox menu

    I'm following the instructions in this webpage to create a dynamic menu. I have successfully achieved this on my laptop by installing the openbox-menu package and typing the following lines in menu.xml:
    <menu id="desktop-app-menu" label="Applications" execute="/usr/bin/openbox-menu lxde-applications.menu" />
    For some reason, the same doesn't work on my desktop PC. After editing and saving the menu.xml file, I restart Openbox and when I right click the desktop and hover the "Applications" menu item the desktop freezes. However, I can still move the mouse and switch to other ttys with Ctrl+Alt+Fx, therefore I believe it's reasonable to suggest that the problem lies in the permissions.
    What should I do about it?
    Last edited by Martificiam (2013-02-03 11:29:21)

    Umm, that's not "some random" webpage at all... It worked on all of my Arch Linux installations. The "lxde-applications.menu" is just an argument. But thanks for the link, I'll look into it.
    It's just that it's more of a workaround, not a solution, really... since it has ALWAYS worked for me.
    Furthermore, while setting up Arch on my laptop I remember experiencing similar problems (running a particular program from the openbox menu and resulting in a desktop freeze). This must have something to do with permissions.
    Edit: the xdg_menu worked perfectly, but I would still prefer to use the openbox-menu. I'm marking this as solved anyway.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    In short, I find this solution:
         comment out `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=XXX` in .bash_profile
    I do not have DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in bash env

  • Cant execute files from Terminal In /Users/me/bin. Only in /usr/bin

    I have about 30 Snow Leopard machines in my Bioinformatics lab with one central box where I distribute programs.
    All of our scripts/programs are command line based.
    When I SCP a program to the target machine, I drop it in /Users/BioLab/bin/
    I am usually never able to execute the file from the Terminal just by typing its filename on the target machine. I can if I move the file to /usr/bin or of I create a symbolic link in that folder I always can.
    On random boxes I am able to execute files in /Users/BioLab/bin/ from Terminal. Why is this so inconsistant?
    What do I have to do to these machines to run files in /Users/BioLab/bin/ straight from Terminal w/o moving them to /usr/bin?
    Thanks!

    You modify the PATH environment variable on the systems to include /Users/BioLab/bin/
    export PATH="$PATH:/Users/BioLab/bin/"
    Your choice are to modify the .bash_profile for every user account on every Mac, or modify the /etc/profile on every Mac, or create a /etc/paths.d/BioLab entry on every Mac (look at one of the existing /etc/paths.d entries as an example).
    By the way, Terminal, Unix, and command line command questions are best asked in the Mac OS X Technologies > Unix Forum

  • Binaries move to /usr/bin requiring update intervention

    I just updated succesfully as was indicated on the Latest news with the intervention
    But I do wonder.....
    If I now look at my filesystem I now have the following links:
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 31 mei 20:40 /bin -> usr/bin
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 31 mei 20:40 /sbin -> usr/bin
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 31 mei 20:40 /usr/sbin -> bin
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 31 mei 20:40 /bin -> usr/bin
    I wonder why /usr/sbin is not pointing directly to /usr/bin but instead first to /bin (which is directed to usr/bin)
    Is that intended ?

    I have a problem updating the "filesystem" package.
    # pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
    # pacman -S bash
    Until here, everything was Ok, but doing:
    # pacman -Su
    I get:

    Looking into "/", the directories "/bin" and "/sbin" were removed. Although the directory "/usr/sbin" exists and is empty. Some clues?
