I´d like to add a file in a zip file, with a different name, and avoiding the creation of a new file with the desired name. For example, I´d like to add the myfile.txt file to a zip, but renaming it to myfile2.txt. Thanks mkrnr You can use zipnote which should come with the zip package. First build the zip archive with the myfile.txt file: zip archive.zip myfile.txt Then rename myfile.txt inside the zip archive with: printf "@ myfile.txt\n@=myfile2.txt\n" | zipnote -w archive.zip (Thanks to Jens for suggesting printf instead of echo -e .) A short explanation of "@ myfile.txt\n@=myfile2.txt\n"

I have unfortunately deleted some important files and folders using 'rm -R ' command in Linux server. Is there any way to recover? since answers are disappointing I would like suggest a way in which I got deleted stuff back. I use an ide to code and accidently I used rm -rf from terminal to remove complete folder. Thanks to ide I recoved it back by reverting the change from ide's local history.

is there a way to call a program from python without waiting for it to return? i created a script which copies a program to a directory and runs that program. but when i call the program from python, the python script does not exit until the program i launched exits. i have tried os.system and Popen. is there another way to do this? Added info: os.spawnl with os.P_DETACH still doesn't work; according to the docs, "P_DETACH is similar to P_NOWAIT, but the new process is detached from the console of the calling process". but it is still somehow attached to my calling process (calling script won

I would like to pass the output list of elements of a command as a parameter of another command. I have found some other pages: How to display the output of a Linux command on stdout and also pipe it to another command? Use output of bash command (with pipe) as a parameter for another command but they seem to be more complex. I just would like to copy a file to every result of a call to the Linux find command. What is wrong here?: find . -name myFile 2>&1 | cp /home/myuser/myFile $1 Thanks This is what you want: find . -name myFile -exec cp /home/myuser/myFile {} ';' A breakdown / explanation
