My RHEL Machine is a Build server and always gets shutdown / rebooted at around 5:30 every evening. No idea whats going on as developers were unable to connect to the machine since three days. When I am visiting the physical server probably next morning (since last 3 days)its doesn't show anything and all i reboot the machine and it comes up without any issue. how to troubleshoot?
View 7 RepliesI'm using Centos 5.3 with xen to virtualize some virtual machines (mostly windows 2003).
It works perfectly fine excepted one thing :
Each monday morning, the server is crashed with nothing noticeable in the logs that help.
Since it allways happen between sunday 22h00 and monday 05h00, I suspect a crash when running some cron tasks...
The server works fine. I look at cron.weekly and deactivated makewhatis.com which is the only task apart 0anacron...
But it makes no difference.
I really don't see what can cause such a regular failure... As I am more specialist on Debian, there may be some specific tasks running every week on centos I didn't noticed.
I got a question, is there a script or program that automaticly boots my server and shutdown at give hours of a day I want to have my server running from 7am till 8pm ever weekday (Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday) is this possible? I'm running a Ubuntu 10.04 server with Zentyal on

I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?
I use Fedora 12 AMD64 , and my daughter use it . and I have tom and jerry in my computer , I like my daughter only use game and learn many thing about computer , but she always see Tom and Jerry and waste time .

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been googling my brains out looking for a solution to this. So far, nothing.
As the title suggests, every time I attempt to shut the computer down it instantly reboots the moment the internal fans stop whirring.
So far I've tried:
-shutting down via the terminal (this actually makes the reboot happen instantly rather than waiting for the fans to stop)
-looking in the BIOS for any obvious settings which may be causing this
-performing a dpkg repair
-Allowing "Proposed" updates in the Updater
-installing (slightly) older Kernel (2.6.35-22 as opposed to 2.6.35-23)
-installing newer (2.6.36) kernel
I know others are having this issue, but other threads I've read seem to have fizzled out with no conclusion. Has anyone managed to find a way to make this work if they've had the bug?
Any advice at all? Is it worth trying an even older kernel? Or an even older version of Linux?
I'm looking for a program or script that will automatically shut down my computer at specified times. The thing is, if I happen to be using the computer at those times, I want it to ask me if I want to shut down before it does it.
Something like I want the computer to shut down at 9 am every day. When it's 9am, a prompt pops up and says, "Do you want to shut down or continue running? If you do not answer, the computer will automatically shut down in 10 seconds." Not sure if something like this is out there or not.

Actually I want to start a backup linux machine when main server shutdown or Reboot.
simply, how we can run script while init 0 OR init 6 command
I cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.
I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.

I am running Suse Linux Enterprise 10 on a laptop and by some strange reason the computer froze from overheating and I was forced to shutdown improperly. Once I restarted it booted right to the command prompt when it usually instead boots to the default user. I managed to get gnome running using the "startx gnome" command. But when gnome loads, none of my normal extentions load like my wireless driver, the sound driver, etc. how to restore gnome to automatically load the default user on start up or fix any other damage I might have done? lol

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a debian machine with an apache2 webserver. I am able to start the machine from the internet (power plug board with webinterface) but I don't know how to shutdown the server automatically if nobody uses the website anymore. It is a homeserver which should only run if needed.
Unfortunately I don't know much about Linux, apache, php, cgi-scripts, cronjobs and other things that might be useful. But I googled a lot and have now an idea how it could work. It seems complicated to me and so I want to ask you guys what you think about it and if perhaps you could give me a hint.
The idea: A cronjob starts every ten minutes a php script that checks when the index.html of the welcome-page was opened the last time (fileatime()). Lets say it was opened last time at 3pm. Then the php script adds for example 60 minutes to that time (=4pm) and calculates how much time is left to 4pm. This time is saved in the variable $timeleft. Now the php script compares if $timeleft is less then 10 minutes (=600 seconds). If it is, the php script starts a cgi script that will shutdown the server. The cgi script will login as root (I think that can be done with the "expect"-command url and then enter the command "shutdown -h now"
Is all this realizable? Isn't there a better and/or easier way to do?
