eclean-dist

Clean all distfiles except for installed packages (exact version), those which are less than one month old, bigger than 50MB, or fetch-restricted:

# eclean-dist -d -t1m -s50M -f

From a crontab, silently clean packages in the safest mode, and then distfiles in destructive mode but protecting files less than a week old, every sunday at 1am

0 1 * * sun eclean -C -q packages ; eclean -C -q -d -t1w distfiles

Umount device busy

April 19th, 2008   Filed Under General, Scripts  

 # umount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s7  umount: /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s7: device is busy

The fuser command
can take two types of arguments:

You can use the -u option to the fuser statement to display the user ID’s
as well as PID’s in its output.

Lets look at a few examples. The following command will display all processes and their
associated users that are using files/directories on a specified disk on a Sun Solaris
system:

# fuser -u /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s7
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s7: 1313co(oracle) 1223c(root)

lsof /media/cdrom --> worked for me.
