Well, this is not Whitney, but..........

Sorry, no output with that command.

The find utility kind of can do that, but some of it depends on your file system. Take a look at -newer XY and use the m and t options there, if the B option is not supported. find . -type l -not -newermt 2019-10-01 -newermt 2019-09-01 -ls However, that gets the modification times. Would that be cl...

FYI the links I made are:-

~CamFiles =
ln -s /mnt/CCTV/ ~CamFiles

~CamFiles2 =
ln -s /home/pi/CamFiles/ ~CamFiles2

doubleudee1

Of the two links below, only one works? the other does nothing, The working lnk '~CamFiles2' puts files into ' /home/pi/CamFiles/' successsfully, but the other link '~CamFiles' doen't work and the files in '/mnt/CCTV/' are not updated????????? ls -la total 364 drwxr-xr-x 18 pi pi 4096 Sep 30 15:35 ....

Right click anywhere on desktop select Desktop preferences on Desktop tab, make sure there is a check on [ ] Mounted Disk click OK done It is already ticked, I un-ticked it and then ticked it again but the disk doesn't appear?

No laughing please! How do I get my external HDD to show up as an icon on the desktop (raspbian, loaded through NOOBS) on my pi, I did have it showing before I had to rebuild, but it's not showing now? my fstab loads it like this:- /dev/sda1 /mnt/CCTV ntfs-3g defaults,users,nofail 0 0

doubleudee1

OK, a couple of problems I had to rectify. The main one, my pi was full and so I had to create some space by using various methods/coding. 1. the HDD had been mounted automatically by pi to /home/pi/CCTVDISK, and I had then created a directory from my login (pi) as CCTVDISK. 2. I then created a syml...

I usually plug a "suspect drive" into an RPi (3B, 3B+) and see if it can be detected. if not then I'll try to initialize it if cannot initialize then I conclude its dead if can initialize, proceed to initialization then use gparted to format the drive if gparted cannot format the drive I conclude i...

Thanks, I've tried putting into my pc (win 10) but that doesn't see it. then it means there is something wrong with the PC end - is it enabled in the BIOS ? what does windows see via computer management is it powered ? how is it connected I have tried removing one of my existing HDD inside my pc an...

Does anyone know of any way I can convert my old 1 TB HDD which is formatted in Linux back to ntfs or anything windows 10 will read?

doubleudee1

OK, Thanks to all for the replies. it has enlightened me somewhat but I am 'up and running' now so all's good.

OK, no probs, copied out all the commands and just ran cronta -e and was presented with one for pi which I used and saved.
Now when I run crontab -e, it opens my crontab file.

doubleudee1

But will it run for pi (me) as I have written all the commands I want done in it and just saved it (ctrl + x then 'y' and [enter])

doubleudee1

I always log in as pi. So i logged in and went to create a Crontab but what I got was:- pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo crontab -e no crontab for root - using an empty one crontab: installing new crontab So I carried on and created it anyway, then I did this:- pi@raspberrypi:~ $ crontab -l no crontab for pi...
