I need to run a script when i login for first time in a day. I may reboot or shutdown and then power on during the day. But i do not want the job to run during those power ups. It should run only once per day.

My execution environment is Linux steamboy 2.6.31-21-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP.If I log in and run a program, the program works properly. The program is a shell script, which executes an environment file, so that path and library settings point correctly.If I have cron run the same program as the same user who logged in, one of the libraries cannot be found. I have sourced .bashrc and the same environment setting file, even though .bashrc executes the same environment file . /home/amr/bin/informix_env.sh

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me how i change the default domain name for cron?everything i cron runs it emails from and to user@com.com
this leaves me with a massive list of failed mails in postfix.i have mailto on my main crontab but i cant do it on all of them.
I 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.)
It seems that cron is not upgrading my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no GUI installed. I changed /etc/crontab and watched apt running:
Code:
ps -A | grep apt

showed communication with canonical sites,
but:
Code:
top
did not show any apt using CPU

I 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 RelatedI have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/phplist.sh
I can see in /var/log/cron that it is running every 15 minutes but it has no effect. It is not doing the commands in the bash script.
If I run /usr/bin/phplist.sh right in the shell it works great.
install an o.s called Backtrack4,which basically consist of tools such as metasploit,nmap etc since i am interested in knowing and improving my knowlege on such programs,BUT what stops me from installing backtrack4 is that i am bothered whether the commands that work in redhat/fedora(yum,grep,ps,etc) will work in backtrack4??Is Backtrack one of the distros of linux?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHas Linux some mechanism to test memory online as a background job, flag bad memory as unusable and warn the user if memory is faulty? Much like running Memtest86+ on a little chunk of memory every nth minutte until all memory is tested and then repeat over.
Edit: I did not make it clear that I want such a service running in the kernel. A (peak) performance hit should be avoided by running the test in small steps and only when the system have some CPU cycles to spare
Edit2: I meant this as a Linux kernel service that scans the memory in the background. Not meant to be run in userspace but a routine in the kernel itself, perhaps in the memory manager to make sure memory are sane!
It's a pity that Wi-Fi is used only for network and internet connection. There's no information on a thing that can seem so simple - file transfer via Wi-Fi.I can imagine it similarly to how Bluetooth does it (or Wi-Fi spot search which is already implemented), but no, it requires complicated LAN setup.What I want is an easy cross-platform solution to transfer files via Wi-Fi.

I have an Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 virtual machine using VirtualBox on my Windows 7 system.
Up until now I have been doing all my development within the Ubuntu environment but unfortunately, I don't like it. I want to move back to Windows, which is much more familiar to me but I would still like to access the virtual box like a virtual server as it is already set up with Apache, PHP, Pear, Git etc...
How can I make the two work in harmony? I essentially want to be able to start the VM and connect to it as if it was a server machine somewhere on my network, without having to actually buy another machine to put on my network.
Any script to categorize folders with similar name into one directory. For example: There are 4 directories named LinuxFedora, LinuxUbuntu, WindowsXP and Windows7. The script should be able to create two folder named Linux and Windows wheree respective directories are moved.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a php script that checks versions of a remote stock file every 15 minutes. When it discovers that a new version is available it downloads the new file and runs it through a series of scripts that prepare it for an e-commerce application. It takes about an hour to import the file and process it. Otherwise, it echos "file on remote host not newer than local file". The stock file is updated every 3 or four hours and it's never at the same time. So we would like to run this script every 5, 10, or 15 minutes to make sure we have updated files.
So what happens when my php script finds a new file and takes an hour to do its work? Will the cron be activated three more times during this span? In other words, will it keep starting over even if its still running from a previous cron? Is there a way to stop the cron from running while the file download and processing occur, and then resume when its finished?
How can I run a scheduled job in a specific hour minute second (hh:mm:ss) I tried "at" but I do not know how to send it "seconds".
