Ive been trying with variations of top but no luck. I am running several CentOS virtual servers, VM is 2gb ram 2 processor.
Maybe a script that works over a specified amount of time while writing lines with the info on a text file so at the end i can have a sort of table with the data.
The thing is Im going to stress test the server and I would like to have the data to make some statistics.
I would like to schedule a cron job to run on every first saturday of the month, so far all documentation that I have looked at, mentions only a weekly cron or a monthly cron based on the date. Is it possible to run a monthly cron based on the day of the week?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running Fedora 11 with an Oracle 11g database installed. I came to check on it and found out that the oracle service had stopped. I also have a script that gets run by cron every minute. I noticed that the last entry in the log /var/log/cron was March 24 at 4:26. Which was really close (not exactly to the second but within a few minutes) of the last log entry in the database translator logs (the database was processing data and it outputs a log).
I rebooted the machine and cron started running again, but I can't get the oracle service to start again. Normally it runs at startup, but if I need to run it or check it, I use:
Code: /sbin/service oracle restart
Is there another log that I could look at to see what would be the cause of the stoppage? How to get the oracle service started again?
I installed ubuntu 10.0.4 TLS version and my desktop freezes after a period of inactive time: the screen doesn't change and the apps do not response. It will resume after any key-stroke or mouse action. Is it a feature of 'power-saving' or something else? I need my ubuntu keep 'alive' all the time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have fedora 15 installed along side windows 7 on my acer aspire d250. So far it runs great, however I was wondering if there is a way to make fedora 15 hibernate after being in suspend for a period of time, just like windows 7 does. This make sense to me as there is no point in wasting battery life if i can hibernate, but I don't want to hibernate all the time, just suspend for a period of time, like 2 hours, in case I need my netbook again i have quick access to it.

I am running Karmic on my laptop, and I have three 1.5 TB external hard drives which I swap between frequently. My problem is that if I leave the drives in, and do not access them for a period of time, they become inaccessible, i.e. I will click on the icon on the desktop or in Places, and it will tell me there is no device mounted, even though I was using it fine just an hour before.
i have a feeling that it is because the USB drives spin down after a period, and Ubuntu detects them as being 'disconnected'. Would it help if I added individual entries for each in fstab?? Or do I need to adjust some settings elsewhere?
EDIT: If this information helps, the HD's are all Seagate Expansion drives, formatted to ext4.
My power went out for an extended period of time and now my graphics are messed up. I started my computer up and I only can get 640x480, so I was trying to reinstall the drivers but the nvidia drivers on the repositroy do not make sense as far as what goes with what, or descriptions of them. I downloaded the driver off nvidias website instaled it. It went to my desktop same problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI skipped over Jaunty on my main desktop because Intrepid had been working perfectly for so long. Finally took the plunge to Karmic, and have had major instability problems. I cannot trace them to any particular program I am using. At first it seemed related to power management, since it would lock up every time it had a period of extended inactivity. I have disabled ACPI in my BIOS (I think), and any power management settings I could find in gnome to try to troubleshoot. That seems to have helped, but it still happens semi-regularly, sometimes when I am in the middle of using it. I have tried checking logs and googled anything that seemed important. ie a message in kern.log reads: Clocksource tsc unstable
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this belongs in the Server or Networking section of the forums. Anyway, last month I upgraded my server to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Since then, I've had a recurring problem wherein after a certain period of time, the server stops accepting network connections. Ubuntu 10 will continue to reject network connections until someone logs into the server locally, after which time network connectivity is restored and the cycle begins anew. Essentially, the server goes into a "half sleep mode". I say half because the computer is still on and the fans are running.
I've done some searching around various forms and initially figured this issue was related to problems with the Network Manager service (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...er/+bug/524454), so I removed the service altogether. However, this problem is still occurring.
I've poured over /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog, but have noticed no irregular behavior. Has anyone else experienced this issues? I'd rather not resort to downgrading back to Gusty Gibbon if I can help it.
I am happy to provide more information if its needed
