General :: CPU/RAM Usage Log Over A Period Of Time To File On CentOS
Jun 7, 2010Im looking for an app pr line of code that could let me observe a process, save the info in a number of variable and then put the gathered info on a file.
Ive been trying with variations of top but no luck. I am running several CentOS virtual servers, VM is 2gb ram 2 processor.
Maybe a script that works over a specified amount of time while writing lines with the info on a text file so at the end i can have a sort of table with the data.
The thing is Im going to stress test the server and I would like to have the data to make some statistics.
CentOS 5 :: Real-time File Replication For User Accounts?
Nov 22, 2009this idea to me right now seems stupid and impractical so I'm also looking for solutions outside of this one. I'm creating a set of highly available servers. They currently utilize pacemaker to manage a shared IP address, apache management, mysql management and also drbd handling. They currently replicate, properly failover and run fine. However, this is a shared web hosting setup and everytime a new user is added to the system a username and password is created and the httpd.conf file is updated for their site. I need a way to replicate those changes to the other server. For httpd.conf I'm pretty sure I can just stick it on the apache drbd resource and create a symbolic link. However, for the passwd and shadow files that is not a realistic solution.

Is it based on the size of my drive or is it based on the amount of data on the drive?
View 1 Replies View RelatedServer :: Unifying Permissions Between Two Servers - CentOS - Webmin/CentOs - Cpanel - And Rsync
Jan 1, 2010I have two servers, both running CentOS, but one running Cpanel as the control panel and the other running Webmin.
I would like to sync the web folders using rsync. However, when I sync the files from the Cpanel host the permissions look as follows:
Code:
But that doesn't work on the Webmin server which needs the following:
Code:
It seems the Cpanel install has the group as 'nobody' whilst webmin has it the same as the file owner. I can fix this by running:
Code:
But as the file transfers will be frequent, I don't want the files to be inaccessible until chown is run.
So, what I really want to know is - how can I change things on the 'webmin' server so that files with ownership owner:nobody will run?
Ubuntu :: Start Rsync In Daemon Mode Every Time System Turns On?
May 6, 2010I have a Linux box, running rsync, only problem is, I have to turn it off at night. What I want to do is turn it on and when it turns on, rsync will already be running in daemon mode rather then having to run rsync daemon. Does anyone know the solution? I'm sure its simple, I just cannot figure it out

Aug 4, 2009I am hosting two Virtual Servers both running Centos 5.3 on a host machine also running the same OS. The VM software in use is Xen, as supplied with the OS.The host machine's time and date is fine, however both Virtual Servers are running ahead of real time consitantly.Running /etc/init.d/ntpd restart will resolve the issue however one of these is running MailScanner and when the time suddenly goes backwards, sometimes by as much as an hour, it stops working properly.

Aug 18, 2010I installed CentOS 5.4 on a virtual server to host the tool OpenVAS, which is used to execute vulnerability assessment.This tool is based on a master engine and thousand of plugins, each one doing a specific, little function.I wrote a cron that, every sunday, updates the list of these plugins to keep the system updated; this cron uses a tool's proprietary function that download the new plugins from a site using rsync.I was using the rsync 2.6.8-3.1 until last week, when I decided to install ALL the updates proposed by operating system itself (more than 170) and the whole list includes rsync 3.0.7-1.el5.rf (from rpmforge).
This monday, the log of the tool's function gave me a bad response about the impossibility to establish a connection with the remote server due to a connection timeout.Before doing the rollback of the system, I tried to understand what happened, so I started manually the function on a terminal and, together, I was watching the results using netstat -tuvnap, so I saw that there was an attempt of connection, between my server and the remote one, but the connection did not finish the three way handshake, because the state of connection was always "SYN_STAT".I tried to value the $RSYNC_PROXY variable, because there is a proxy between my server and the world, but the result was exactly the same, so I was forced to execute the rollback of the system, which works very well now!
CentOS 5 :: Making Own Yum Repository Via Rsync?
Oct 29, 2009I'm making my own yum repository - firstly so that all the machines I administer can be updatedvia the internal network, secondly so that I can test any updates on a spare machine before passing them on, and thirdly so that I can add my own repo for internal software.
I've created the necessary folders under my webserver, and used rsync to update them from my local CentOS mirror, following the instructions at [URL]
I notice it says to run "createrepo" on the base repository, created by copying the rpms from release DVD.
When I rsynced the updates repo, but I notice that the files in repodata are very small. In fact, having a look inside them, filelists.xml contains no file details. But if I run createrepo in the updates directory, filelists.xml gets lots of file details inside it.
I wondered if maybe the local mirror hadn't been updated properly, but checking against mirror.centos.org shows that has the same files.
how does the (real, live, CentOS) updates repo work when there is nothing in the filelists?
CentOS 5 :: Rsync To Ignore Spaces?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: CentOS 5 - Mirroring System Using Rsync
Mar 30, 2011I believe it was rsync was the tool. I have a box running CentOS 5. It has a 250GB HD in it. I have another drive with the exact model. Currently it has a as a said a 250GB IDE drive. I want to shutdown the machine, install this other hard drive and set up a cron job that will backup my main drive at times that I set. This way if the main drive fails, I do not loose all the data and have to rebuild the server from scratch as I have been custom configuring it for years. I can't remember if there was an issue with the main drive being mounted to back it up or not. I have looked at some of the how's on rsync but they seem to only talk about using another server for this. If I shit down the box, install the new drive, and the box boots back up, is it going to ask about that drive or what do I need to do to get rsync going and does it partition the drive as such? And can I do it this way. This way if the main drive fails, I can just swap the drive and be on my marry way.

May 2, 2011I am trying to setup a Rsync backup method.I have multiple files and folders all OWNED by different users.Now I can read the files as root.But I want to make a user for RSYNC that can ONLY read all these files for copying them across.It requires to create a non password login and I dont want to do that with the root user ! I have tried to create a new user and use 'setfacl':setfacl -m u:someuser:r /var/test.But when I su to 'someuser' I cannot copy the files to my homedir. So I think it wont work for rsync also.
View 8 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: Any Known Errors On Allocating Disk Space Using Rsync?
Mar 13, 2009Need to know if there are any known errors allocating disk space using rsync. I have recently setup a small file backup server (2 500GB drives) running Centos 5.2, with a rsync daemon (via xinetd). However I have noticed that after about a week of usage, if I reboot, then the disk that rsync uses, has a lot of multiply claimed blocks and inode errors, such that I have to run fsck multiple times to fix. This has happened a couple of times now so I don't think that its random.

Debian :: Rsync And Different File Systems ?
Oct 21, 2010I have 2 different mounts. One points to a local windows share(NTFS ->Samba) and the other one points to a PPTP VPN connection sharing(I belive that is NTFS too). I use "cifs" scheme in my fstab to mount these. And I use my Debian box to copy between these 2 mounts. I have started using Rsync for that purpose, I think that it works fine for now. My main problem is that it looks like Rsync cannot figure out if the files are same or not in source and target folders when I use these mounts. Most of the time Rsync copies the same files and folders over and over again even though those files and folders are on the target.
I am wondering if there is a way to make this scheme work? Being on a Vpn connection(slow) a Windows box, Rsync could have save a lot of my time if it could have recognized the files and folders that are same on both ends

Server :: Rsync Execution - With Crontab - Have Given Full Path To Rsync Too
Apr 12, 2011I have a tiny shell script to rsync files between two servers and remove the source files.
This script works fine, when it has been initiated manually or even when the rsync command is executed on the command line.
But the same script doesn't work, when I try to automate it through crontab.
I am using 'abc' user to execute this rsync, instead of root, as root login to servers are restricted in all of our servers, by us.
As I mentioned earlier, manual execution works like charm!
When this rsync.sh is initiated through crontab, it runs the first command(chown abc.abc ...) perfectly without any issues. But the second line is not at all executed, and there is no log entry i can find at /mnt/xyz/folder/rsync.log.
Software :: Run Rsync To Download Files From A Server Without Rsync Daemon?

General :: Rsync - Password-file Not Working ?
May 23, 2011I made a shell backup script that uses Rsync and I am trying to get rid of the password prompt because it will use a CRON to run. I have set my variable in my shell script at:
PASSWORD_FILE=rsync_password
And the password in that file only takes up 1 line.
However when I run (ignore $DESTINATION)
rsync -aRvz tmp $DESTINATION --password-file=$PASSWORD_FILE
It still gives me the prompt. How can I accomplish this? I cannot allow a prompt and I do not want to have to use keys.
