Apr 13, 2023 at 11:52 comment added osexp2000 @terdon no problem. I understand the least privilege rule, so I am fine to keep existing code.
Apr 13, 2023 at 11:44 comment added terdon @osexp2003 oh duh, of course! I shouldn't answer comments before coffee, sorry. I that case though, I would just add this to root's configuration files. I don't want to run commands with sudo when it isn't absolutely needed since that adds unnecessary risk.
Apr 13, 2023 at 10:33 comment added osexp2000 @terdon sudo get_crtime FILES does not work because get_crtime is defined in current user's bash not the root user's bash, unless I put it to root users' .bashrc etc, that would be a hassle for just a quick try(copy and paste the function to terminal then run sudo get_crtime ...)
Apr 13, 2023 at 8:51 comment added terdon @osexp2003 so run the function with sudo. No need to add it to every command.
Apr 13, 2023 at 3:21 comment added osexp2000 It would be convenient if you prefix sudo to all commands, because sometimes the target files can not be accessed under current user.
Dec 3, 2019 at 18:26 comment added sergius yes, you're right. The correct path is /dev/mmcblk0p2 for raspbian (on a raspberry, of course). Thanks, i'll try to be more specific over this.
Dec 3, 2019 at 16:00 comment added terdon @sergius yes, rapsbian does something strange and makes df return /dev/root which doesn't actually exist. I don't know what it's doing, but you might want to ask a new question about why df $HOME returns /dev/root on raspbian. That's what is making this fail. For more info on /dev/root see: Why on some Linux systems, does the root filesystem appear as /dev/root instead of /dev/in mtab?
Dec 3, 2019 at 15:01 comment added sergius it didn't work for me on my raspbian jessie.
