General :: Script.sh | Mail - Completes But Doesn't Include Output?
Mar 30, 2011
I have a script that uses cp to copy data from A to B. There are some troublesome files that are constantly in use and read "Permission denied" or "Text file busy" but I'm not worried about these. Therefore my copy process always contains output.The script runs through cron and the output (automatically) goes to /var/mail/user. I tried setting it up to send me an email and it comes through, but it's completely blank. The email in /var/mail/ contains the full output.
Here is my command:
0 18 * * * /home/backup.sh | mail -s "Backup completed" jsteel@...com
(The script simply contains many "cp -r /mnt/location/a /mnt/location/b")
[code]....

I'm not sure about the following behavior so thought I would put it out to see if there is an error I need to resolve, or simply a process that I need explained.I'm also not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue, a Linux issue, or other... but here goes.I ran my "make build" in two different ways; one with just "make build" and one with "make build > output" (so I could review the full script).With just "make build" the process finished and returned to the command prompt.
With "make build > output", after the process had finished (script in output document identical to what was in the terminal with "make build") a new set of data was displayed in the terminal (see below).With the other examples of using "make build > output" the times it would parse something back to the terminal window was when there was an error. As I fixed the errors these breaks back to the terminal window would stop. So I'm wondering if this indicates a new error, but because the "make build" now completes successfully (at least it appears to), I'm wondering if this data in the terminal window is just a behavior related to redirecting the output script using the ">" process and something to do with returning to the terminal once a process completes

how to include my command results in a script? Basically what the script does is it checks the status of a service within the linux server, then sends an email when done. I want to include the results of my status check to my mail when sent.
i.e.
service dhcp3-server status Status of DHCP server: dhcpd3 is running. <---this I want to include in the mail that is sent out via script.

Right now we send notification emails using a velocity template (apache and java), the thing is that the notification engine call the Email.vm file to add all the information and variables. This process only attach the information (text) on the .vm file.
We need to send that email on html. The thing is that if we write the html code on the file, when the .vm file is called that email includes the code not the result of the html.
We have tried adding the headers and everything.
The question is:
Is there some way that we can pre-process the html code and include to that email the result?
Or can we tell the .vm file that it should be handle as html? (like php for example <?php ?>, the <html> and </html> tags doesn't work.

I'd like to instruct bash to use a special method to perform completion on certain directory names. For example, bash would call a program of mine to perform completion if a path starts with "$$", and perform completion normally otherwise. Is this at all possible? How would you implement it? The goal is to allow autojump to complete paths for all commands when the user starts them with a certain prefix. So for example when copying a file from a far directory, you could type: cp $$patern + <Tab>
and autojump would complete cp /home/user/CompliCatedDireCTOry/long/path/bla/bla and you would just have to add where you want to put the file. Of course I can use ott's comment to add it to a few specific commands

I cannot get exim4 to actually deliver any "local delivery only; not on a network".But whatever I do in the config, all mail gets frozen with entries in the log file like:"root@empty R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported"Maybe the problem is that there is no fqdn for the computer (and will never be). How can I enable local mail delivery?

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.
I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.
HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:
- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.
- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.
How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?

Is to compile Firefox 4 (I'm running Slackware). However, I've run into a couple of problems. I downloaded the source from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...source.tar.bz2, and untarred it. It then turned out that compiling Firefox is more complicated than I expected, so following [url] as closely as possible, I created the following .mozconfig file (taken from the same tutorial, and adding the 'webm' option to remove the need to install YASM:
Code:
I run 'make -f client.mk' and get:
Code:
At this point, I should point out that '/usr/include/GL/glx.h' exists. So I suspect one solution would be to persuade firefox to find this, but I haven't found any options that would allow me to do this ("--includedir=/usr/include" doesn't work). I also couldn't find any mention of Mesa in the firefox dependencies, but nor could I find an option to disable WebGL (my suspected solution number 2).
I then tried to install Mesa... However, I use the nvidia driver, which it doesn't seem to support. I do seem to have some sort of Nvidia equivalent (I don't know exactly what) because if I run glxinfo I get:
Code:
So... I suspect there are two solutions:
(1) Persuade firefox that yes, a satisfactory OpenGL thingy exists on my system
(2) Disable WebGL support.

System has been working fine until recently bootups started taking longer and longer. Finally the other day after waiting 15 minutes or so I gave up.
I was able to log in with the xfce option (small command line with no windowing support). From this I observed that I could run all my programs (but without windowing support) and that the system seemed generally healthy (as did the hard drive).
I found /etc/Xsession and ran
Code:
sudo ./Xsession
This successfully loaded X (is that it?) rather quickly, but everything was
running as root. That's what I'm in on now.
So it seems that there's some kind of problem with an init script failing to load X at some point. Or it could be more complex.
Specifically, the computer presented the login option for the gui and I logged in as my non-root user. Then I got the swirling lights with the bird in flight background (dark blue). It never progresses beyond this, and the hard drive is whirring consistently until I shut the computer off.

I guess there is some bash shell trick to run poweroff when an other command is over, like let's say su -c 'yum update'.
Creating a shell script with these two commands, the one below the other, would be sufficient? I can't try it now.

I have had a really bad day (the first, after months of faultless operation)) with my Acer 5720Z laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. First thing was at the second startup today, nothing other than totally black or white screens showed during boot. However, the ubuntu jingle was heard after the normal time it takes to boot, so I was certain it was strictly some video problem.
Ok, so after having thought about this for a while and reading about similar issues here and there on the web I was struck by the fact that not even the Acer screen with bios info etc. showed normally just after power-up. By then I had dragged a second, stationary computer to the livingroom, so I thought I'd check if there'd be video output from the Acer's VGA port. There was, and the ubuntu desktop looking perfectly normal. Aha! - only the backlight working on the Acer's LCD screen, but no video? So I thought I'd check for loose connectors to the LCD or damaged wiring (installed replacement LCD myself some months ago with no problems). This is going to be easy, I thought (being more of a gearhead/hardware type of guy) Turned the Acer laptop off and unscrewed the screen frame stuff. Now I just start it and switch back to internal display... For some reason (too many unclean shutdown(s) during the early "blind" nervous phase of the problem, I suppose) the Acer now hangs with a black screen before boot is complete and I am unable to switch between external/internal monitors. Fortunately I can use the external monitor (video is stuck to the external VGA on startup), get to command prompt etc. so there should be hope. But I have no idea how to sort this out after many unsuccessful attempts. (Recovery mode, disk check etc.)
I can't find any sort of safe graphics mode option in the GRUB menu. Booting from the Ubuntu 9.04 ("live" option) also finally stalls with a black screen and nothing further happening, just like the install that's on the PC.
how Ubuntu 9.10 runs on a stationary HP Pavillion 1840 which I rescued from the trash just like the Acer laptop.

I'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 have got a nagios server running on my network, The configuration seems to be okay but each time there is a service alert notification, and an e-mail is sent to the contact group, Nagios continuously sends e-mail over and over again. Do anyone know of a way to set Nagios directives to only send one e-mail per alert without it flooding mail boxes.

I'm trying to plug my Cinemizer video goggles [URL] to my notebook. The resolution is 640x480 (yeah, I know) and I go from VGA to RCA to 3.5, which is needed by the device. From a cable oriented viewpoint this should work, but Fedora doesn't recognise the googles as a second monitor. how to enable vga output with a 640x480 resolution? This is extremely important for me since I need it for a personal project as well as for my work.

For some reason valgrind can't give an exact line number for memory leaks. I installed all of the debuginfo packages and I am compiling my program (gWaei) with the -g and -O1 flags. I just don't know anymore. Specifically the libwaei ones are worrying.
