CentOS 5 :: Pass Shell As Command Line Argument When I Ssh To An Account
Jan 25, 2011I want to have a choice or more preferable pass shell as command line argument when I ssh to an linux account.i.e. If John logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc", by default definition of account "zzz" n server "abc" he get csh.But Sally desires that when she logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc", she needs the login shell to be ksh,and Rick wants bash when he logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc".What is the most non-intrusive / easiest way to achieve this? Each user can set their preference on ssh command line or create a simple alias by each shell, but not sure how to do this.

Fedora Installation :: Boot - Grub Drops Into Its Minimal Shell And Gives A Command Line
Jun 12, 2009I'd like to say I'm very impressed with Fedora 11. I'm a long time Linux user and I've tried many distros. But, I usually keep only the best on my laptop. For a long time that was Ubuntu but, I think Fedora 11 has made some key improvements over Ubuntu and I'm eager to switch. The problem is: I haven't been able to run Fedora as anything other than on the Live CD. Everything works perfectly and it installs but, when I reboot, Grub begins. Instead of booting, however, Grub drops into its minimal shell and gives me a command line.
I've tried installing it a number of ways now and have read much about the problems with Ext4 on Grub and took special care to see that Grub has its own, separate, /boot ext3 partition. Even then, no luck. My hardware should work fine. I've got an HP DV-5 with 4GB RAM, AMD Turion 64-bit dual-core @ 2 Ghz, and an IDE 250GB hard drive. I'm working with the 64-bit Fedora 11 Live disc with KDE as the Gui.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Bash Script To Monitor Server Load / Mail From Command Line
May 4, 2010I am attempting to write a very basic script that monitors a server's load and automatically emails an administrator upon the load reaching a certain threshold...
1.) `uptime | awk -F ' ' {'print $10'} | cut -d ',' -f1 | awk -F '.' {'print $1'}` -- the output from this command results in a decimal figure, so when that value is parsed and placed in an if statement, the value is not seen as a number. load-monitor.sh: line 9: [: 4.96: integer expression expected/How can I allow a number like "4.56" to be seen as an actual number within the if statement and be compared to 4, for instance?
2.) I am running a cPanel server on CentOS 5.4 -- when I run mail -s "SUBJECT" $EMAILADDRESS the command just hangs, and stracing the process shows it stuck on a read syscall.
3.) If I wanted to write this script in PHP, I have one primary confusion -- how can I mimic the functionality of obtaining the output from uptime via awk, etc. so that I can determine what the server load is at a given time? Which PHP function(s) would assist in that regard?

Mar 20, 2011I'm new to the shell scripting. can any one help in creating shell script for matching the content of the specific variable with file. it should remove that line from the file if line is containing same value as variable and keep the other content as it is.i used grep -v for accomplishing the same. But grep will remove the pattern which is similar.For eg. Assume file "test" contain datas :aaffif i used grep -v command for the pattern "a" to this file this will remove content "aa" from the file. I want the pattern only "a" should remove from the file, if it is existing. otherwise it should throw alert content not exists.
