Can't create file using echo: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change
Hi,
I trying to create a file using echo and redirection: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change by this command: # echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change -------- An error message is displayed: sh: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change: No such file or directory -------- I even tried to use cat and vi, but the seems like i can't create the file... Can anyone help me resolve this problem? |
try using 'touch' eg
# touch /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change then vi or > also try # echo "1024 65000" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change i hope you know what your doing in the proc directiry... im scared of it. |
thanx crm, but the file does not yet exist, so it still gives me error message that the file does exist using touch command... i tried creating that file in my local directory then tried copying that file to that directory, but the shell tells me that cannot create regular file. What should i do?
thanks |
im having a similar experience trying to recreate the problem.
i think the issue uis that 'proc' is more of a image of your running PROCesses then an actual directory - perhaps theres another way to achieve the desired result? |
