I need to schedule for a repeated task on my Linux, as the followings:
-) Telnet to a remote node
-) Issue a command
-) Capture the output in a log
-) Logout from Telnet
-) Wait for a prescribed time interval
-) Then redo , but append the subsequent output in just on file
know which options do we have to write such a task?
Is there a way to schedule a task to run on the 1st Saturday of every month? I'm not sure if what I have here will run. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Server x64
What I have right now is:
# m h dom mon dow command
00 00 1 * Sat /storage/scripts/monthly-script.sh
This looks to me that it will only run at midnight if a Saturday is the first of the month. But if that's the case then that's not quite what I'm looking for...
I am attempting to schedule a task to run every hour. I have altered the crontabs for my account but the the task still won't run on the hour.

Like if I run jedit I type jedit & which launches jedit as a backgorund task. But, if I close terminal window, jedit dies to. How do I laucnch jedit and completely divorce it from the terminal task?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

Quote:
Now if you see the first line:
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- mismatch
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- does not exist in DB
This should appear just once as :
Quote:
The same goes for last line.
For further information the ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is a table name and it row count is taken from a log and then Database checked for the rowcount to see if it is a match,mismatch,or the table does not exist!
I am getting the desird output just that i need to do something to this output file.
I have a mvfs file system mounted.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed Debian onto a PowerPC G4 Tower with two hard drives. I left OS X on one of the drives and reformatted and installed Debian on the other, using the installer from the 60Mb ISO from the Debian website.
The installation had no issues and it starts yaboot and Debian no problem.
After about 2 minutes of the booting up process, it starts to output this, every five seconds:
While this happens, other things still continue load and it outputs occasional messages and even gets to "Debian Login:" where if you type really quickly and hit enter, it takes it and prompts for "Password:" right after the next round of the above messages.
I have not been able to completely log in yet.
I can start up into the shell as root with "Linux single" with no problems.
I think this might have something to do with the second Mac OS Formatted Hard drive. I have considered unplugging that drive and testing it that way, but I am looking for a solution to turn off whatever script is running that every five seconds and failing, regardless of what it is trying to do.
After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am setting crontab to run a script every minute irrespective of the current hour's value:
Code:
[root@localhost bin]# ls
sec.php showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]# crontab -l
1 * * * * /root/bin/showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]#
But it is not working. Does the line mean: "Run this script every day at hour:01"?
my problem is that an application which I want to start at the startup is creating some problems if it is started at the startup. But if it is started after a few seconds or say a minute of the startup, it doesn't cause any trouble.

I am trying to create a backup schedule for client computers and servers; and I would like your opinion on what I came up with. Here is network infrastrusture setup:

Ubuntu is repeatedly crashing on me. It seems to be Xorg crashing, but apport only reports that various apps are crashing.The screen will go blank with a blinking dash cursor in the upper left. Then a dialog box will popup and say that xorg is running in low resolution mode. I can click ok and everything comes back up fine, but any running apps are gone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to get this out:
I have had this problem (entering the correct password and having Fedora repeatedly ask me for the password again) for a long time (since FC9) and have recently found what I believe to be a solution.
I know, you'll probably think it's extremely simple, but I just wanted to help any newbies to Fedora who might have the same problem as me.
Solution:
Right click on the Network Manager icon, and select "Edit Connections"
Go to the Wireless tab, and delete the entry for your wireless!Then manually re enter all of the settings.
This worked for me with a WPA2 TKIP connection, but it might work with a WPA2 AES also.
I want a tool, which can record my actions on the gnome desktop and play it again. I must be able to edit the recorded script.

I noticed with the recent version of Ubuntu, 10.10 that the drop down menus, when selected the sub menus doi not appear straight away. I have to repeatedly go up and down the menu until they appear. They often open a blank box and sometime once selected leave the menu on the screen. This happens on all my machines.
View 4 Replies View RelatedU1 is trying to sync a file which doesn't exist on any of the devices attached to the account nor in the cloud folder. I've tried using U1sdtool to stop it, including the following commands:
I've also tried actually creating a file of the same name that it keeps trying to sync in the hopes that it will latch onto that one instead, but no go. I tried deleting that file, but no go. It constantly loops through the same nonexistent file, over and over and over and over and over...
It also only does this on one device. It does not do that on the other devices.
And, yes, I've done u1sdtool --waiting, and there is the nonexistent file, on the list, with all of the real files that actually do need to be synced backed up behind it.
after having some boot issues not so long ago, i was pointed in the direction of rescatux, which solved my problem at the time. now im having a number of other issues. i am dual booting isodora mint and lucid ubuntu.when my lucid distro is working, it often becomes totally unresponsive during everyday tasks and when i go to restart (or any of the other options) from the shut down menu, i get the window appearing blank.upon rebooting (by pressing ENTER, which works even though there are no buttons within the window), it tells me to either insert boot media or there is a grub failure. this happens almost every session on the computer.
on the times when it says 'insert boot media', generally speaking turning it off for an extended period tends to work. the times when a grub failure occurs, going through rescatux's rescap leads to no other partitions being identified at least 90% of the time.is this something that anyone recognizes the signs for and can offer me a solution? or does this sound like an intermittent hardware problem?
