Deleting a Vista Directory you don't have access to.

I use delta copy on Vista ultimate to backup several windows machines as well as my cvs repository on Linux. I inadvertedly configured the service to start as a network service but found I couldn't access the backup at all. I subsequently changed it to start as my user and could access the new directories but was left with a backup directory I couldn't access or delete.

This is how I eventually managed to delete the directory.

Start accessories right click on the command prompt and select run as administrator. At the command line type

takeown /F [directory] /R

cd [directory]

cacls *.* /T /G "[PC NAME\USER NAME]" :F

cd ..

rd [directory] /s

proxy usage?

Quick script to give me usage for a particular url on my proxy server.

usage.sh URL

# !/bin/sh
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.9 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' > $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.8 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.7 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.6 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.5 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.4 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.3 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.2 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log.1 | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log
perl -pe 's/[d.]+/localtime($&)/e' /var/log/squid/access.log | grep -i $1 | awk '{ print $1" "$3"-"$2"-"$5" "$4" "$7" "$11}' >> $1.log

Gives the result set in URL.log
