General :: Installing An Application Using Service Account
May 27, 2011
I have been asked to install an application using a service account on a RHEL 5.6 Server. In the past I always installed as root and have not used service accounts.
How to add an application to run as a service in Linux?is there a script in /etc i should edit? What is recommended. Right now im running something in .profile but that's kind of not what i want.
I have recently installed linux mint 10 Julia on my wife's Dell. I installed off CD from linux freedom website with the ftp download. My wife wanted her own account so I went to admin/users and groups and created her account. Or so I thought. When I tried to switch users (with the boot CD in and out of the drive) I got the follwing error:
1) "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_mintMenu" do you want to delete applet from your configuration?"
2) "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatorApplet" Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?" Both of these had an orange word bubble with an exclamation point in it.
3) "Nautilus could not create the following required folders; :/home?tina?Disktop,/home/tina/.nautilus. Before running Nautilus, please create these folders or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them." This came in a red word bubble with an "x" in it. One last thing. When I installed linux mint 10 on my ancient compac (it has a pent 4 processor and had win 2K on it) all I had to do was plug in a usb wireless card and I was online. My wife's Dell has a wireless card built in and I can't find it in mint 10. How do I set up the wireless. Sorry for the "2 fer" but I'm pressed for time and have to get to work. I'm a copier tech/electrician and I'm good with the hardware but with the software, not so much. I'm sticking with linux no matter what the learning curve because my Mom gave me the compac evo thinking it was useless and I've brought it back to life with linux.
I've been trying to send mail to email account even after installing postfix but am not able to do so.My distro is Centos 5.4. I followed the Centos user guide to install and configure postfix into the server,
Code: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix but still didn't receive any email.
I have a user account on my laptop which does not display the sound-service icon in my notification area applet (Ubuntu 11.04). If I try to start /usr/lib/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service manually, I get the following error: Code: libindicator-WARNING **: No watchers, service timing out. ** (process:5612): DEBUG: Service shutdown !
In the many months I've had this account on this box, and as a result of the many minor mods I've made to the account, I've somehow bollixed something in the account setup which interferes with the startup of the service. I created a new account on the system, and the sound service icon displays properly, so I know it's not a system problem. Both the new, bare account and my personal account are in the audio group. As a work-around, I have an icon for gnome-volume-control on my top panel, which works pretty well.
I am using an Ubuntu VPS(Virtual private server) with SSH access. I run my applications(mangos-realmd & mangos-worldd) in SSH terminal and they start up fine. But when I close the SSH terminal they close! but I want it so that when I close my SSH terminal that those programs remain running, and also want them to start up each time I reboot my system. I am found out with rc.local this is now solved or what-not
I need to know which files were added/modified/moved/deleted after compiling and installing an application from source code, ie. the command-line, Linux equivalent to the venerale InCtrl5.
Is there a utility that does this, or a set of commands that I could run and would show me the changes?
The following is sort of OK, although it includes the lines where changes occured
(eg. "@@ -2,6 +2,7 @@"), and "." and ".." that I don't need: Code: # ls -aR /tmp > b4.txt # touch /tmp/test.txt # ls -aR /tmp > after.txt # diff -u b4.txt after.txt

1) How to install any new software/application on Red Hat Linux? 2) How to run any new installed application in system start up/boot process as what we do with 'chkconfig service on' with a daemon? 3) Where to entry for a new installed application i.e. is there any specific file/directory?
I use the Basic System for Co-operative Work (BSCW) to implement a collaboration environment in Apache. In previous versions of SuSE, I had created a BSCW user and group. The UID and GID that I had used is now assigned to some other system/application.Can someone refresh my memory on how to create a UID and GID in the 100-200 range?
So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...
app deployment on Linux/debian and I'm using Debreate to create .deb packages which works fine. I install the software itself to /usr/bin but want to install the program's database to /home/username/myapp/ The problem is it that I don't know how to add the env variable 'username' to the target path. What is the exact syntax for this installation path?
I am using slackware 12.2 - 2gig ram - amd64 cpu - ati hd2400 graphics. I am trying to upgrade software in particular opera to 11.11. I am using a slackbuild script to create the package and this seems to work ok. The original opera package was installed in this way.however as soon as the new opera is installed either via upgradepkg or installpkg the user - whatever user - apart from root loses the ability to run any application including logging-in.
I am running Server 10. I have a requirement to perform an action before the MySQL service starts, and perform another action after MySQL service stops.
I found the init script for MySQL under /etc/init/mysql.conf. I added my thing to the pre-start script there and works fine.
I am having trouble finding the script that stops the server so I can modify.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to install "fedora"'s gnome-packagekit with it's GUI (gpk-application) in debian squeeze rather than installing "ubuntu" software center? Are there packages availabe in .deb file format in any repository?
I have a problem with the Google search box top right corner in Konqueror, when entering search I recieve an error page "Unsupported Protocol" Google asks for ioslave or kioslave. Also when highlighting text on a page and right clicking with the mouse no search option is given. I created a new user and all works as it should for the new user. What is wrong with my user account? I have reset default values in Konqueror setup.

I wanted to install TeamViewer (for Linux). I downloaded the RPM, but when I double-clicked on it to start the installation I got the following error: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files I Googled around for possible solutions but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know how to fix this error and install TeamViewer? I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME desktop.
The desktop search has stopped working in Gnome.I get a message that says 'Search Service not running' with a button that says 'Start Search Service'.When I click the button nothing happens
I'm trying to install KDE 4,4 on my Netbook, Asus Eee PC 1201n. I've just done a clean install, instlaled my graphics drivers and now trying to upgrade to KDE 4.4. This is the message I get when trying to use the 1Click installer from the OpenSuse site. "System Management is locked by the application with pid 3249"
Im pretty sure this is trivial to config, but I havent had any luck searching on google.My situation is: I want to forward any emails sent to my domain to another account. So:
A friend of mine helped me set up a server which includes Squirrel Mail.It?s CentOS 5.3.I have a person who would like to access Squirrel Mail at remote sites.My questions is, I can create an account on the server which has KDE and the usual general applications and he would have the remote access Squirrel Mail but he doesn?t need nor does he want to access KDE or anything else on my server. He just want an account so he can use Squirrel Mail.
