CentOS 5 :: Make And Run A Script
Nov 5, 2009
I have installed CentOS 5.4 on my computer.
I want to run a script before open a Root or User session (I want this script start an appli witout logon as root or any user)
I have in Root a directory (rptr with this files: rptr rptr.cfg and rptr.log)
Usually I open my session as root start the terminal and write this :
cd rptr
nohup ./rptr ./rptr.cfg > rptr.log &
I need to get a script to open this sequence at startup of CentOS but without open any session

Because I had some difficulties to make awstats running (I'm not an expert!), I would share my experience with a MINI STEP BY STEP GUIDE. I would like also to discuss some details with experts thus at the end of the guide ,I'll make some questions to them:
I have installed a new server Centos 5.5 32 bit and configured 3 virtual hosts; at the end of /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf I have:
-------http.conf virtual host--------
ServerName 127.0.0.1
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
[code]....

I want to have my server make every night at 3.00 AM backups of /root and /home.I want to use for this .tar.bz2. Also, I want to have the output of the backup.tar.bz2 into /media/400gb/backup What do I have to fill in my crontab to make this work?
I figured:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[server] # crontab -e
0 3 * * * tar -cjf backup.tar.bz2 /home /root
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But of course, it wont get into my /media/400gb/backup folder.

I need to get Java working on Firefox. I read some instructions that had one create a link in .mozilla/plugins, to a java library, so I did. When I load a website with Java on it, I still get the message about needed to install a plugin. Not sure what is up. I wouldn't care so much, but I have some equipment that has a Java web interface that I need to configure. If I can't get Java working on Firefox, then that is a problem. I've put the link I created in the plugins dir below.
I'm running Centos 5.3. Here is the uname output code....

I am looking for a tool that can automatically create a rpm package after compiling from source, replacing "make install" Ubuntu and Debian use checkinstall for that.
What is the equivalent for centos?

I have a dual boot PC, installed Win XP first, then Centos 5.5 While installing Centos, I set Centos as default. So at boot up time, it does give a choice of selecting from the two if pressed any key, otherwise boots Centos. Now I wish to set it in such a way that Windows is the default OS to boot.
My grub.conf file:--
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.

I just installed CentOS 5.2, and would like for xterm to be my default terminal instead of the gnome-terminal. I was able to do this on a RHEL4 system and Fedora 9, but I can't figure out how to do it in CentOS.
Here's the output of uname:
Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 11:57:43 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Totem didn't play .avi movies by default after my new CentOS 5.3 install. In my effort to find a way to fix it I learned in another forum that installing VLC allows almost all video formats to be played. So I added RPMForge to my repository group then I found and installed VLC with no problem.
Now that VLC is installed and I've had a chance to use it, I've learned that it fails to save my brightness setting between launches. This is very frustrating because the default brightness is always too dark, which means I have to go to the controls and reset it every time I launch the software. Does anyone here know how I can save my brightness setting between launches?

I'm trying to add a scheduled full backup to the crontab file, but the full backup never completes; it always stops somewhre in the file system. I guess is b/c the os is updating those files or has them open. I've tried to use the --exclude options but still it always hangs somewhere else.... this is what I'm usingtar -zcvpf /mnt/storage/backup/fullbackup1.tar.gz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/net --exclude=/srv / > /mnt/storage/backup/fullbackup.log

My server is headless, so I'd like to make it beep when it finishes booting. Some posts in the forum seem to indicate this is the default setting, but my box has no sound when login prompt appears. The speaker does work since it beeps once at the start of the booting process (probably BIOS' doing). "lsmod | grep pcspkr" shows "pcspkr 7105 0", lspci shows nothing related to speaker.
Also I'd like to know how I can test the speaker from command line (remote ssh terminal), will echo -e "007" work?

I run a few dozen dedicated web servers all running CentOS 5.5. A long time ago when one server was apparently compromised, I was urgently advised to sign in to the server and run "yum update" at least once a week to ensure that everything which I had installed using "yum", would get updated with any recently available updates, including security fixes, and that one reason I might have been hacked before was because I hadn't been doing that.
So, I'm still not sure if that would have prevented the original break-in, or how much this has reduced my chances of being hacked, but I've been faithfully signing in to each server every week for the past few months and running "yum udpate". Most times, this results in a lot of patches being downloaded and applied, so it's clear the machines are not doing it automatically. I figure it's about time to learn how to make the machines do this on their own. Is there a standard way to make "yum update" run automatically, every day, or every week? Yes, I'm sure there are many ways to do it, but is there a single way used by the majority of webmasters of CentOS sites who have automatic updates set up? Googling a bit for "make yum updates automatic" turned up some threads like:
[code]...
in which people describe writing their own custom scripts to do yum update automatically. This seems odd. It seems like the kind of thing that there would be a standard way to turn on. Also, is there a reason that virtually every newly provisioned dedicated server does not have "yum update" set up to recur automatically? If it's true that people break into websites using exploits that have been found in older versions of webservers and other software, and that sometimes these breakins would have been prevented by the newest patches, wouldn't it reduce the number of websites being compromised if the OS had yum updates turned on automatically by default?
