Jul 13, 2010Have a headless server running Lucid 64 bit. Everything is working great except for a couple of Cron jos I'm trying to have run at boot.
My user crontab looks like this:
# m h dom mon dow command
01 * * * * /home/ceallred/Scripts/SambaBkup.sh
@reboot /usr/bin/SpiderOak --headless &The SambaBkup script works like clockwork...
The SpiderOak job doesn't start. It works if I type the command in manually.
syslog only shows:Jul 13 22:45:33 RavenWing cron[1010]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)

General :: Reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART) - Lock Up The System And Does Not Return From The Call?
Jul 8, 2011I am running an embedded Linux Release 2.4.19-uc0.
I have code in several places that calls
reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART)
successfully. I need to put it into a new place in a application running on the system. When I do, it seems to just lock up the system and does not return from the call nor leave me able to Telnet in or Ping or anything. I've tried puttingtrace code in to write info out to a file, but that too is not working (as it never returns from the reboot() call.I don't get any error from reboot(), it just does not return and does not appear to restart the system.

Mar 31, 2010I have cron jobs running and the timing is critical, because I'm running Nessus scans on production servers. If I hit them at the wrong time, I'm toast. But when I check the cron log, I see that it is an hour off. Here is the output for the command "clock":
Wed 31 Mar 2010 03:01:26 PM CDT -0.257677 seconds
And this is the tail of the cron log:
Mar 31 16:00:01 nes-001 CROND[8790]: (root) CMD (/Nessus/Targets/NessusScriptDataCenterScan.test)
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 CROND[8822]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[8834]: finished 0anacron
Cron thinks it is 4:00 p.m., but it's really 3:00 p.m. How do I tell Cron what time it is? (Stopping and restarting the crond service did not change it.)

Fedora :: No Output From Cron Jobs In /etc/cron.daily
Jan 29, 2011I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).
The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.
The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.
I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)

Ubuntu :: Do Cron Updates Erase Cron Entries
Sep 19, 2010I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: System Time Is Always Wrong After Reboot
Jan 6, 2011Every time I reboot my computer the system time always comes up exactly 10 hours behind where it should be. So if I reboot it at 16:00 it comes up as 06:00.
This has only been happening since I got back from a trip to Australia, where I naturally changed the computer's timezone to match the local one. I'm now back in Central European Time which is 10 hours behind Australia's. This is on opensuse 11.3.
I've used the YAST date and time tool to set the timezone correctly, and /etc/localtime is set correctly:
Code:
:~> sha1sum /etc/localtime

OpenSUSE Install :: Reboot Directly To Another System?
Jul 7, 2010in a previous version of openSUSE (I think it was v10.3), there was a possibility to directly/automatically start another OS after exiting (rebooting) openSUSE. This could be done through "right-clicking" on the Reboot (Restart) button from the KDE's log-off dialog and choosing the OS you wanted to be started after the restart. Please, does anybody know if this is possible in openSUSE 11.2 (KDE 4.4)? PS: I know that GRUB enables that, but I prefer a "GUI way" rather than using command line and editing configuration files

May 3, 2010I ran Karmic until last week, and noticed that it seemed to be getting slower. I was hoping a clean install of Lucid would fix that. it's worse. If I leave my machine running for a few hours, something begins dragging down the performance to a crawl.
System Monitor sometimes won't come up - launches an empty grey window. Other times, System Monitor reports that gnome-system-monitor is consuming 86-96% CPU. This is a dual-core Dell e6500 laptop with 4 Gigs of RAM, it should fly. Any ideas on troubleshooting this?

Aug 15, 2011A few days I used the wubi installer to install Ubuntu over Windows. This I did on my C: drive. I also have another partition, the X: which now is my D: drive after I used the gparted live cd to give the system partition more free space. No problems so far.
But now, when I use Clementine Player, I see that it cannot find any of my songs in my library and Deluge has to 'check' my downloads every time I open it after a reboot. My theory is that the folder inside /media/, which contains the file system gets a new name (a 16 digit capital letter/number name) every time I reboot my computer - or maybe every time I use Windows and then Ubuntu again? It's pretty annoying,
