Programming :: Bash To Monitor IP Addresses In A Txt File?
Oct 13, 2010This code uses ping to check connectivity to a remote location and logs it to a .html file which is then stylized by css..
Code:
#! /bin/bash
path="$HOME/Desktop/IP_Monitor" #Path to write out files
ALT="0" #For styling alternative row
[code]....
I need to add a feature such that instead of hardcoding the ip address .. it takes them from a list and makes new files for each ip address for logging.. And also when log files are completed , They should be compressed using tar. How should i go about adding both these.. This is my first bash script.
Programming :: Getting A Script To Continuously Monitor Appended Data To A Log File?
Oct 13, 2010Code:
if ! [ -f ${PATH}/myfile.txt ];then
echo $(date +%Y%m%d"_"%H%M%S)": Nu am gasit fisierul ${PATH}/myfile.txt"
ps -fxu pin | grep "/usr/local/coreutils/bin/tail -f ${LOG_PATH}/x.log$" | awk '{system("kill "$2)}'
cat ${LOG_PATH}/x.log | sed -n -e '/LONG/{x;1!p;g;;}' -e h > ${PATH}/myfile.txt
[code]....
I have a continuously growing log file (x.log) in which i have to look for certain lines that contain "Long". The line above each line containing the word "Long" it contains a time stamp. I want to extract each line containing the time stamp into myfile.txt and check the difference between time stamps. Whenever there is a difference i need to run another script (${CAL_PATH}/${APP_NAME}), then sleep 1, then continue searching. Lines with "Long" do not appear continuously, but in blasts. The script runs fine until the first pause encountered. Starting with the first pause, tail -f doesn't write in myfile.txt anymore. Can someone help me understand why "tail -f" it stops writing into myfile.txt? Or does someone know an alternative to "tail -f" of achieving the initial scope of the script?
Fedora :: Monitor Refresh Rate Problem After Mar 6 Updates
Mar 8, 2010I'm having a problem with my monitor's refresh rate after the most recent round of updates issued on March 6. When I login after a period of inactivity my monitor's refresh rate is set at 60 Hz, even though I always keep it set at 85 Hz.So I have to go in and change the refresh rate back to 85 Hz every time I log in to my computer.This has only started happening after the most recent updates.I tried downgrading X to a previous version but that did not fix the problem. I have an Nvidia graphics card and am using the Nouveau driver.Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Programming :: Rsync - Script To Compare Files And Transfer Updates
Oct 4, 2010I need to create a script that will compare the differences between two folders and then to copy only the updated and new files only to another directory. I know I need to use rsync here, I can write scripts so really it not how to create a script it is how do I accomplish the transfer of only new or changes files between two folders to a new file. Do I need to link these two folders first and then use the "--compare-dest" switch.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: ISO File With Most Recent Updates
Jan 3, 2010After not having used Ubuntu for a few months now, I want to make up a new LiveCD and possibly a bootable USB. The times I have done this in the past, the installations don't include recent updates which need to be downloaded and installed once the system is running. (Understandably)
Two questions:
1) Does Ubuntu update the downloadable ISO periodically to include recent updates?
...for example: Now that it is January (ie. some 3 months after release of Karmic in October '09 and some 200-300Meg+ of updates required since that time), will I be downloading an ISO from Ubuntu that has recent updates already as part of it, or will it still require updates to be downloaded and installed once Ubuntu is running on the computer?
2) If the downloadable ISO has not been updated since Oct '09, is there a way of making a LiveCD/bootable USB that has up-to-date updates already installed? (if you know what I mean?) ....and is this process relatively simple?

Sep 20, 2010I have Alienvault (which is debian based) running on an offline network. I need to have a repo server on that network in order to provide updates/other installation sources. Currently I have configured Ubuntu Server 10.04 as an apt-mirror on an internet-connected network.
What I need to do is find a way to automatically take the newest updates, and export them to disk. I need to mirror the internet-connected-repo server on the offline-network side. But I don't want to burn all 40 gigs or so every time new updates come out. Basically, I'd like to perform incremental backups of the mirror after the first full backup. Is it possible to automate this daily?

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: How To Monitor The Applet Development
Sep 20, 2010The embedded hardware is working nicely, and even the antique laptop is now running smoothly using tinycore linux. The device pumps out packets of data at roughly 128 bytes/second (two packets, one 56 bytes, the other 72, alternating every 500mS).
I'd like to create a more general purpose application for monitoring the data being logged. It is a simple matter to have the back-end application write a log file of incomming data, or be a little more sophisticated and just write out changes from the previous packet. The difficulty is that the existing curses-based cli application reads directly from the serial port and can only be run from one place at a time. Once data has been pulled off the port it's not available any more.
A database for logging the data is not necessary, as the application would mostly be used for auditing material consumption, not tracking minute-by-minute usage over any length of time.I could have the existing back-end app. write data to a file accessible through a web server, and allow interested parties to download the information. This would be greatly enhanced by a small front-end app. that can request the data and format it for a more sensible display. Alternatively, is there some way to open a socket (I'm out of my depth here) so a free-standing application could simply request the data, and do the front-end formatting? This presents problems in that it wouldn't be multi-platform capable.
Software :: Live - Real-time Text-file Updates In Terminal

Mar 24, 2011For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
Ubuntu :: Community Repo Updates / Canonical Does Not Provide Updates For Warsow?
Dec 20, 2010I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Monitor When Files Are Copied To Another Volume And Log The Date?
Jul 29, 2010I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head with this one. Here's the situation: My practice has been, after downloading and making changes to files, to use a certain GUI cataloging app to move them to categorized sub-folders inside one "umbrella" folder, then copy them to (what are in most cases) identically-named sub-folders in another one on the same HD. Emulation of this process on the command-line would look like:
Code:
cp holytrousers.jpg /home/metoo/Pictures/fancypants/
mv holytrousers.jpg /home/me/Pictures/pants/
This was in anticipation of making a "twin" of the second, now bigger, "umbrella" folder on anexternal HD and continuing the practice. At some point I intended to get rid of the original 2nd "parent folder" and just keep the first one on the drive with my OS install, using the twin on the backup folder as I'd been doing when it was on that same drive.
I'm very close (a matter of 2 to 3 weeks, it looks like) to getting a backup/external drive in a reasonably-reliable external enclosure. With the backup, originally the "twin" of the bigger "umbrella" folder and its sub-directories, on that other drive, I also anticipate that I will likely go at least a few days between backing up any new files to it.
For the sake of argument, let's say I gave the external the name "tuxs_twin". Is there any way to monitor copying activity from /Pictures/ on the boot HD to /media/tuxs_twin/Pictures/ and log the dates and times, then have something running that checks the log every so many hours and puts up a reminder dialog saying /tuxs_twin/Pictures/ hasn't had any new files copied to it since date X at time Y? I hope this was clear enough. If not, I'll try to break it down further when I know which details are confusing folks.
Programming :: Write DOS Script To Monitor The PC's Network Status?
Jan 15, 2010There are a few PCs on the network that lose network connection every so often -- sometimes these old beasts have a power failure and owing to a bug in the BIOS the NIC doesn't necessarily initialize properly, which requires a reboot to correct it. Got me thinking of a band-aid -- have the PC ping a specific IP address, and if it cannot ping then it forces itself to reboot.
IF I were to write it in BASH I'd do it like this:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=<some meaningful hostname or IP address>
for ipaddy in $HOST
do
count=$(ping -c 1 $HOST | grep 'received' | awk '{print $4}')
if [ "$count" = "0" ]; then
sh usr/bin/reboot
fi
done
In English: send 1 ping to the IP address. Grep through the results to see how many of 1 ping was returned. IF it returns 0 pings then reboot. I'm sure the reboot command would have to be groomed a bit for sudoers but that's beside the point here.
So, HOW do we write something like this for DOS? Stop giggling (lol). No really, I have Windows 2000 & XP machines that need some sort of script or method of knowing (at intervals) of when they're not talking to the Host system, and need to reboot to fix it. I was thinking to write a simple test script, drop it on each of these machines and use the Windows task scheduler to run it every 30 minutes.

The app will also have to have access to a shell for scripting, I know thats a security risk but it will not be in an exposed env. The web page will have a series of lcd readouts displaying the aquired data refresh rates will probably be around 5 seconds along with control buttons to turn on and off values.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Monitor Changed File
Jul 3, 2010How do I monitor which files have been changed after, say, I run the passwd command? (I know, depending on the options used, it changes /etc/shadow and/or /etc/passwd). But I would like to if there is any clever ways of monitoring this. This is how I do it which is a bit crude, and I have to know which directory to monitor. Before running the command, I run
Code:
for i in $(ls -A) do; md5sum $i >> /tmp/before; done
And after running the command, I run
Code:
for i in $(ls -A) do; md5sum $i >> /tmp/after; done
Then I do a diff to see if any file has been changed
Code:
diff /tmp/{before,after}
CentOS 5 :: Should Use Monit Or Mon To Monitor A .pl File
Dec 27, 2010I have a perl program that I need to an eye on so it run 24/7 and restarts if it stops at any time. I have Webmin installed and I am looking into Mon but it seems it only monitors services like "httpd" and "smtp" rather than a file.pl file which runs. Actually the file creates a pid.log in /var/log/ which has the PID number in it.
Since Monit doesn't come on webmin I am not sure what I need to put in it's config file to monitor my file.pl.
Ubuntu Networking :: How To Monitor File Access
Jan 5, 2010Karmic 9.10 x64 Gnome. On my home LAN, i want to be able to monitor what files are being access on my local machine. I had a quick look at wireshark, but it didnt do exactly what i wanted. I have a share directory, read-only, and often divx files are streamed directly from it rather than copied first. I want to be able to see what user is accessing what file. Should be a fairly simple task, but im just not sure how its done.It can be terminal based, doesnt have to live and constantly updating, just a report. But a prog with a GUI would be useful too.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Automatic Updates - Not JUST Security Updates ?
Mar 25, 2011So, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.
