I am installing RHEL 5.5 to be a syslog server to collects logs from servers (HP-UX, Linux, Windows and Cisco Network Devices). and i can now collect logs from my windows PC on syslog linux server by using Datagram SyslogAgent software. can collect logs from HP-UX 11.23 server. and i configuring the Unix server as in the steps below:
1. Log in as root
2. Go to /etc/syslog.conf
3. Add a line: *.*<tab>@<Sentinel Server IP Address>
I have set up one Fedora 10 server.I found that rsyslog service is running on Fedora 10 server.How to configure rsyslog on Fedora 10 to collect the log from Cisco ASA5510 ?
I have a pool of approximately 1,000 Linux servers and I would like to get a total count of reboots that occurred on those servers each month. I would like to collect this reboot count at the end of each month. Can anyone tell me what the best way to get this count.
We need to collect data from nagios once a week and have it sent/mailed.What would be a good place to get it? I am thinking starting with nagios/var/nagios.logscan it once a week and get most recent entries from each hosts.
I just got SSH access to my shared hosting server (unix). I am current in a directory on the server where there is a file called images.zip. I want to download this to my desktop (I am running windows locally if that matters). Which command do I need and what is the syntax?
I want to write a shell script which will copy files from user Mac machine to UNIX Server without prompting userID and Password. I do not want to use ssh or rcp commands as it prompts for password.
I am trying to ssh into my server from the command-line without including the username in the url. I do not want it to send any username, as it currently takes the active account and sends that as user.ex:
ssh server.com -> (doesn't send default username)
instead of [URL] I would want to input username directly into the server, just like it is done using putty on windows. he wants to be prompted for a username, rather than having to provide one when connecting - but I don't really see the utility in such a thing. - birryree Sep 8 at 17:41
I am currently interning at a place and my job is to essentially learn UNIX. My supervisor gives me problems here and there to help guide me with my learning but for the most part I'm doing this all by self-teaching myself. Needless to say I have run into a few obstacles...for instance-Create a *one* line command that, using tar, will collect the full /usr/local directory (you need to run this as root again) and copy the whole /usr/local structure under /optFor example /usr/local/bin/hello will become /opt/local/bin/hello, etc. I want this as follows:1. /usr/local is collected by tar, but the output of this tar command is its stdout.. what you get from the previous stdout, you compress with gzip and send it to stdout again 3. get this output and decompress with gzip.. get this output and pipe to tar in a way that will extract the tree under /opt.If anyone knows how I could go about doing this, please let me know, or at the very least point me in the right direction. What I've got so far (which could be completely wrong) is:tar cvf - usr/local/ | gzip -c - | gunzip -c - | tar xvf -in theory I feel like this should work (except for extracting the tree under /opt...i'm kinda stuck there)
My server is rebooting frequently(4 to 5times a day) without any logs, can any one help me out to fined the cause for the unexpected reboots of the server. reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.3.1.e Fri Feb 4 15:16 (00:-24)

I am new in perl, i have a question i.e 'How to read individual logs from linux server into another log file using perl script', I need to capture the individual logs from different paths and output the result of those log files and store to a file in another location.These Logs are generated in Linux Server..
I want to write a shell script which will simultaneously collect OS user information and write in an individual text files.Can anyone tell me the syntax of the script.N.B. The user name will be mentioned in an array within the shell script.
I would like to monitor a RedHat via snmp. I would like to make available data via snmp. The data that I would like to graph are only present in logs file. Is it possible to parse data from applicative logs and have them available for my cacti server via snmp? I already monitor CPU, mem, and others with cacti using the standard MIB.What would be the logical step I would need to achieve that?
i wondered if there is no gnome Software with it would be possible to "Collect" multiple Windows together.
As 4 Terminals or 2 Terminals and a gedit.
I dont think about tabbed views, i think about viewing them side by side. I know that it would be _possible_ to this by hand, but it would be *much* easier doing this with an application. I often want to see 4 terminals at a time and its really unhandy to do this by hand
I`m looking for solution. Is it possible to run process on 1 core in UNIX ? From time to time I must start some very CPU consuming process and unfortunately this process is running on all cores... so at this time working on PC is very hard.
I did the test with iperf for 10, 20, 40 100 and 200 seconds but the plot only showed the first 20 seconds in all of the tests. I checked the tcpprobet.out log and y saw that 2048 entries are registered, no matter if the test was for 20 or 200 seconds.
Anyway i have a very old Mandrake server where a previous owner hosted mailboxes on. This server is getting very slow and does alot of e-mail related tasks like:popsmtpmxIt runs on sendmail (which is also very outdated...) and it doesnt seem to respond to its config files. And the whole smtp and mx thing leaves us with some really weird mail problems...So i want to implement it in our current mail setup in which i have it all on seperate servers:2 smtp server (dns roundrobbing) (postfix)4 mx servers (1 etrn) (postfix)1 webmail server (v-webmail) (just apache and connects to the pop/imap server)And 1 pop/imap server (postfix, dovecot)I also want to implement smtp authentication because of all the mobile clients i have to host... This is where it gets tricky.
I want to export the unix user table of the old mandrake server and import that into a mysql database. This database will be used to authenticate the smtp users.I also want the export of the unix users to import it to the other pop/imap server so users can logon to that server instead of the crappy Mandrake server.I would expect that the export from unux users to mysql (including passwords) is the hardest part. I googled it, but some of the stuff i found didnt seem to be very reliable, so thats where you guys kick in :-). So is this possible? If so, how can i do it?I know i should go with some kind of ldap situation but that seems a way bigger hassle then this setup.
I Have RHEL4 running on IBM X3550 server, we request IBM support regarding issues with this server, they will request for IBM DSA logs. The logs are quite extensive and cover almost all server config & can identify hardware issues with drivers...etc. I want to know if there is a way to analysis those logs offline without sending them to IBM support?
1)We need to do a clean up a folder in a remote unix server . What is the best option to connect to remote server? how do we use ssh ? Is there any prerequisite to use ssh?
2) We have to SCP few files to another folder in a remote unix server . I formed the below command to use in script. Is it of correct usage? scp -r $POS_HOME/posctl [login nameip address:/home/username/directory]
I have seen public key/private key generation part for SCP. How do we handle this? Does this need to be done as unix admin?
i want to know how to connect it to debian,fedora, mandriva, puppy (or any other distro thats independant and most software needs to be installed with tarballs)and i also want to learn to connect to it with mac os x, and solaris (open solaris)
I'm using postfix with unix accounts for a while now and I just realized today that SASL authentication, instead of working only with the USERNAME, it also works if the username is followed by ANYDOMAIN.COM
So, let's say I have the following UNIX users: tim, mike, john. If I set the Outgoing Username:[URL]..(where whatever.com can be any name you can think of) IT WORKS, even though it shouldn't, it should only work with tim, mike and john without any domain name. Does anyone know what might cause this and what's the workaround to this problem?
I am implementing BigFix tool, for UNIX I need help to create script for installation of BigFix client on *nix systems. I am thinking to install BigFix using a script which will install correct version of BigFix client, is there any script available or what i need to do create a script for this taskOr Is there any Open source tool available to installation of this kind of thing on *nix?
I was wondering how could I specify for how long the logs will be kept. Rsyslog doesn't have such an option (at least I didn't find it).Do I have to use logrotate for this, or is there some other option?
