The normal distros now ship with an executable called "timeout". Will CentOS be including this new "timeout" command in an upcoming release?
I read that CentOS did not include it (yet) because of a name conflict with another package.
pulled up an old clunker and put centos 5.4 on it the other day. well the grub spash screen appears but i have to manually hit enter to select a kernel.at the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and timeout=5. this is a new install. so I tried changing that value to 0 and it does boot the kernel immediately but never displays the splash screen. so something is not right I assume. btw I see a message (loading stage 2) for about 20 seconds as the computer boots and I have never seen that message on my ubuntu machine, so I wonder if something is off there.

How can i reset the timeout to 3 seconds? I also cannot view the ubuntu partition within windows because of ubuntu's file system.

I was not getting any error messages after restart. I should have powered down fully, but did not think that it would make a difference. :(
The same issue is again occurring, but after shutdown ONLY and only on the first boot. After the first boot, a system restart will not cause any error messages. (I have rebooted at least ten or twenty times to make sure)
But after a system shutdown, the first boot hangs up and I get the
"Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting hdb: timeout waiting for DMA hdb: drive not ready for command"
errors five or six times before each boot. Also the system boots very slowly the first time.
I used the getinfo.sh all command and posted the info to the suggested site here: [URL]
Is it possible this could be a hardware issue? This is an old salvaged HDD. Ive changed everything I c an think of in the BIOS with no results.
I have used the hdparm -d /dev/hdb command and verified that dma is not being used on initial boot or after a shutoff but IS being used after a reboot...
here are the HDD settings
/dev/hdb:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)

One person using our DNS servers reported a very curios problem. When he tries to access [url] he gets a timeout error. I tried loading the site using chrome, firefox and ie8 and I get the same results.
Here is what dig gives me:
If I use google DNS I get the correct response:
I am a complete novice when it comes to Linux, but want to learn, and installed CentOS5 on an old P4 Dell I had lying around.
Dell Dimension 8100 BIOS is version A02
Install seemed to go fine, but when I power up I get the following message
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
hdb: timeout waiting for DMA
hdb: drive not ready for command
this happens a few times each, then CentOS finally loads.
If Im understanding this right, DMA is direct memory access.
Is it possible the hard drive, motherboard etc does not support this?
I am having a problem with 5.4 that I did not have with 4.5. The problem happens only sometimes but in specific instances. Basically a summary of the problem is that certain network transactions timeout. The specific instances are with wget, rpm, http. The problem usually, but not always, occurs with pptp stuff. (NOT running pptp but getting pptp stuff). For instance, the following command, which finishes in seconds on non-5.4 OS's:
wget [URL]
downloads about 20% then gets stuck. About 5 minutes later it downloads another 20% and then gets stuck, etc. The same thing with rpm:
rpm -ivh [URL]
waits about 3 minutes and then gives an error. I think it does the same thing as the wget but
wget will keep trying, while rpm gives up. The error from rpm:
Retrieving [URL]
..five minutes later:
I can wget the above as I mentioned before and install it that way. Before I do it, yum works fine. Afterwards, yum exhibits the same behavior of timing out (because it is using the pptp repository). Also visiting the pptp web site from Firefox times out on certain pages. I originally thought it was some problem with the pptp site, but I notice that log into hotmail.com. Does the same thin (fine on other operating systems). A view with Wireshark on the wget (pptp) shows the my machine receiving a reassembled TCPPDU from 216.34.181.96 (Sourceforge), sending an ack, receiving a reassembled PDU, sending an ack, receiving, sending followed by the 5 minutes or whatever of nothing. Then sourceforge sends an RST and a SYN and the process is repeated.
When I put the machine directly on an AT&T IP connection (12.147.X.Y) everything worked fine. Same with Comcast on a direct link. The times I am having problems is when our router is hooked up to a Comcast IP (70.88.X.Y) and assigns 192.168.5.X addresses to our machines. So when I was doing the above from 192.168.5.27 going through the router through Comcast is when I had the problem. So it is probably something with the router, but it is hard to figure out since CentOS 4.5 and Fedora do not exhibit this behavior, nor does 5.4 on most sites (mail.yahoo.com for instance). I did verify, at least from what I could, that ICMP type 3 and 4 are not being blocked. If they were, the same problem would happen on other op systems. And I was able to ping, albeit just locally, but we looked at the router settings and ping was not blocked.

I was having a problem on my squid server whereby 1 website would timeout daily and return a nscd not found error: [url]....There may be other sites but this is the only one I know of. A selection of other sites still work correctly, which is the strange thing.I have found that by restarting the dns cache everything works again: /etc/init.d/nscd restart.I never know quite when this will timeout so it is not very good for people accessing that site on the server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is an (apparently) very simple question: I would like to execute a command upon bootup of my system. It is a hardware related command which echoes a parameter into a sysfs file.
I thought the proper place for such a command would be /etc/rc.d/rc.local. But it does not work, the command seems to be ignored (no idea why...) :(
Does rc.local require special syntax after all? Or is there a better way to specify bootup commands? Ok, I could create a standard init script, but it is not really a service which has to be started/stopped/restarted..
I have tried every variation I can think of to get an 'at' to rm a file after a certain amount of time.
echo 'rm -f /var/www/media/images/tempProducts/XYZ.png' | at now + 2 minutes
In php:
$apCommand = "echo 'rm -f " . $sTempName . "' | at now + 2 minutes";
exec ($apCommand);
I have:
- pasted the command into the command line as root and it works fine so it seems to be rights related -- rm gets scheduled and the file gets deleted after 2 minutes
- tried every variation of sudo within the statement including making sure that apache is listed in sudoers
- chmod to 777
- chown to apache
The rm command does get scheduled into the 'at' queue but the rm never removes the file.
at -c (without adding sudo to the 'at' statement)
#!/bin/sh
# atrun uid=48 gid=48
# mail apache 0
umask 22

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running into what is quite possibly one of the strangest problems I've ever encountered. We recently had a power loss, and some of our vmware instances didn't shut down correctly. Once of those is our Zabbix testing monitor. From that point on, whenever I run the "ll" command, my terminal freezes. This happens over both ssh and the local console. I've forced a disk check via the "shutdown -rF now" command, and it returned no errors. Since ll is simply an alias for ls, I copied ls (and the entire bin directory) from another Centos 5.3 instance, with no change in behavior.
