General :: Ping In A Script Reporting An Error?
Aug 7, 2010I am trying to run a simple piece of code but is failing on the count of the ping. I want it to report only 1 ping to my remote server and if no ping then error with a message or else the rest of the code will proceed.
Its basically telling me that my rmt server is alive and ready to take connections etc etc.
Heres the code:
Quote:
DATE=`date +%Y/%m/%d`
TIME=`date |awk '{print $4}'`
RMT_HOST=Zeus
COUNT=1
[Code]....
It's complaining about the count number I think.. but for the life of me cannot work out why.
General :: Crontab Shutdown Not Working?
Jan 2, 2010I'm running Ubuntu server 8.04.3 with eBox on a Dell GX280. I want to power off my box automatically every night, so as root I added a crontab entry "05 1 * * * /sbin/shutdown -P now". The command runs on schedule but most days the PC goes into a coma instead of powering off. It doesn't respond to key presses or mouse movement or Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I have to push its power button to complete the shutdown. I have tried a variety of alternatives such as "/sbin/shutdown -h" and "runlevel 0", they all behave the same way
View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: After Using Crontab With /etc/crontab / Giving Error "can't Find Command Root"?
Aug 26, 2010I have a question about using crontab with /etc/crontab...
I had a cron job that I needed to run as root. At the time I thought that sticking it in /etc/crontab would be a good idea. However, I used the crontab command to edit /etc/crontab, which I guess is not standard procedure? Specifically, I configured /etc/crontab as my local user's crontab (i.e. sudo crontab /etc/crontab) then added my cron job as I would a local user crontab (i.e. sudo crontab -e).
Originally, my cron job looked like this:
30 * * * * root /my/batch/script &> /dev/null
After adding the new cron job I started seeing errors. Something to the effect of "can't find command root" or something similar. So I removed the 'root' user definition from the cron job and the job started running fine. However, because this is /etc/crontab, there are other system related cron jobs that have been defined to run under the root account (e.g. "17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly" runs as root, etc.). So these pre-existing system cron jobs, which up until now have been running smoothly, are now generating "can't find command root" errors. But I think that the system cron jobs _are_ successfully being run someplace because logrotate seems to be working.
So what I _think_ is happening is that /etc/crontab is being run twice: once as the system crontab, and once as my sudoed local user's crontab. When I run crontab -l I see nothing, but when I run sudo crontab -l I can see the contents of /etc/crontab. I am reluctant to delete my sudoed local user's crontab, because then in the process I would be deleting the system crontab, and I do not know how I should restore the system crontab's contents. (I am still not sure as to the most appropriate way to edit the system crontab).
How can I get out of this mess? I want /etc/crontab to go back to the way it was before--running _once_ as the system crontab. As for my new cron job, I'm willing to reconfigure it anywhere so long as I am still able to run it as root. Any ideas? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTE)

Fedora Servers :: Crontab Backup Job Works / But Gives Chown / Chgrp Errors
Jul 3, 2010As root, I use crontab to run mirrordir to backup directories. Everything gets copied over properly, but owner information isn't preserved and root is the owner of all the backed up files. I can deal with that, but crontab reports tons and tons of chown/chgrp errors for mirrordir every time I do back ups--which is every day--and the multiple emails to root of thousands of chown/chgrp errors is very annoying. The error is "Operation not permitted," but that doesn't make sense to me because the job runs as root (right?) and clearly the job is permitted to create the backup files, so why would it fail to chown and chgrp?
I've had the exact same setup on another server for years, and crontab has always run mirrordir without error. Any suggestions how to clear the errors on my new server?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHardware :: BIOS Not Reporting Size Of Working HDD
Jan 22, 2010I recently bought an Asus M4N78-AM mobo, AMD processor and memory as an upgrade for a computer. I am using a SATA hdd (no problem with it) and wanted to attach also a Maxtor IDE && DVD IDE wich was the system disk in the old computer. From the very first time, I had problems reading the IDE when copying the old data to the new SATA disk - Slackware 13 only detected the partitions on second reboot (??), the first time complaining about partitions out of limits.
Once transferred all data, I compiled a new 2.6.32.4 kernel and discovered I couldn't access with it the IDE disk. Rebooting, BIOS reports IDE disk as 0Mb in setup, but 1,5 Gb in post summary (just before lilo). cfdisk, parted and sfdisk reports 1.5 Gb and that
should have c/h/s 24792/255/63 --> 204Gb
but has c/h/s */127/3 --> 1.5 Gb
Windows (dual boot) says also 1.5 Gb. BUT 2.6.29.6-huge-smp kernel (slackware 13's) says 204 Gb (reports correct c/h/s) and works fine.
Things I've tried:
partition/repartition with sfdisk, cfdisk, parted
dd first 1Mb with /dev/zero
format ext2/ext3/ext4/vfat
changed IDE cable (no HW damage visible anywhere)
set as slave, master, CS, with/without DVD
A strange thing is the mobo returns a "SATA 3 error" if the disk is alone in the IDE bus (with or without the SATA disk, wich is using the SATA port #1, by the way). If the DVD is connected as a slave, no errors at post. Well, the quick solution is obvious: USE THE DAMN 2.6.29.6 kernel! But the thing is I cant't figure out why BIOS says 0Mb first, then 1.5Gb and if this means the mobo is damaged; never had any problem with the disk before and SMART says OK... Also, I could use the IDE with Linux, but Windows will always report 1.5Gb (as I suppose it takes the geometry the same way BIOS does)/.
General :: How To Use The Mysqldump
Aug 2, 2010I have a LAMP website with mysql backend with InnoDb engine for tables.I would like to be able to use mysqldump to take periodic dumps of the database - WITHOUT having to stop the mysql server (i.e. shutting down the website) for the duration of the backup. not even in the mySQL documentation. A lot of mention is made about mysqlhotcopy, but that only works for IMSAM tables - and is therefore of no interest/use to me.Does anyone know if (how?) I can use mysqldump to take a copy/dump of a database that is still being used?.A link to the official documentation would be very useful, since I want to make sure that I get this absolutely right.I am running on Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS

Ubuntu Servers :: PHP Error Reporting Doesn't Work?

Software :: Mail.rc For External SMTP / Mail.rc Is Working Correctly?
Jul 1, 2010I am running CentOS 5.5 and am trying to get Nagios to send out Emails.
After a bit of reading I have the following in my /etc/mail.rc file:
Code:
[root@linux ~]# cat /etc/mail.rc
set ask askcc append dot save crt
ignore Received Message-Id Resent-Message-Id Status Mail-From Return-Path Via
set smtp=172.29.1.76
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@linux ~]#
I have Nagios setup correctly and introduced an error to generate an Email but nothing has come through.I suppose I have two questions:
1. Is mail.rc setup correctly?
2. Can I test to see if mail.rc is working correctly?
