I was just curious if cron had to be enabled before use. i have a crontab, and the cron daemon is running, but the command isn't executing...
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis one has proven to be a real for me. On one of my Samba shares on my server I have a folder of mp3 files of my CDs. The one I am having an issue with is "Clarence Carter/Dr. C.C." (yes, the one with the ULTIMATE party song). The "Dr. C.C." folder name is normal locally, but across Samba it comes out "DMOU3A~H". I can still access the folder this way, but it would be nice to not have Samba mangle the folder name this way. I am using Samba 3.4.2 on an Athlon64 X2 system running Slackware64.

I understand the necessity for this security feature in a work environment, but I'm just a home user and this security screen is just a nagging problem I don't know how to get rid of.
View 1 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 it for a long time,
Code:
sudo tcpdump tcp
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.

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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI couldn't find it googling.I think I want a daemon that does nothing but keep this bash script, (specified in the ~/.xinitrc exec line) alive.I used to have my X session die with the Compiz process, but now I need to execute some things after Compiz in the script above, meaning I have to background it.I figure, anyhow, it makes sense to have the life of ~/.xinitrc depend on a process that isn't used for anything else (?).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Fedora and have just purchased a subscription to a GoDaddy Virtual Dedicated Server, which I'm able to control using SSH.I have a Java application that I want to run as a daemon on this VDS. Some google searching yielded a bunch of different methods of doing this, none of which I'm sure would be guaranteed to work with Fedora, so I was hoping someone here could give it to me straight and fill me in on the simplest way of doing this.What is the best/simplest way to run a Java application as a daemon on Fedora?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to get a daemon to load on boot, I stupidly added it to rc.local and it just hangs. I would love to put in a live CD and edit out the line but the volume is encrypted and I cannot get it to mount.
Is there a way I can cancel the daemon from loading or get to the grub menu (not readily visible since I am single boot) and then boot into a console?

How do I turn a Python script into a daemon that runs under root, and starts automatically when I boot into Linux?/home/username/bin/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py -m /home/username/.config/pystromo/default.mapFailing that, how do I start the script as a background process from the console? I thought 'bg' would do that, but it only takes a pid from an already-running process as an argument.Basically I want this remapper running constantly in the background, preferably as a service. Unfortunately it currently only works when run as su, which I'm trying to fix.

I have a minecraft server running as a daemon. When you run it normally (not as a daemon), you can type commands into the console. How can you get to the console so I can send it commands while it's running as a daemon?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was thinking about getting a kiosk or two I thought since monitors are facing potential customers and we'll be behind a table I'd be hard to see if something gone wrong/needs our attention. How might I capture all the machines screen on my own? I'd need some kind of daemon in the background. I may have VMs so I'd either need it to work on the OS capturing what is shown in the VM or have it installed on each VM. My machine would likely be windows. I don't need to take over and control the screen but that may be nice since I wouldn't need to walk around to fix something.

upstart seemed not to like it. Having NO documentation on how to create a daemon that works with Upstart on the Ubuntu forums, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why my init.d script doesn't convert.I'm using Ubuntu 10.x.x but this happens on 9.x.x also.

I'm trying to connect the Deluge GTK UI to the daemon running on the same system. This worked just fine previously, but for no apparent reason I can't connect now. I have Deluge set to autoconnect on startup, but it doesn't. If I open the connection manager, it says the daemon isn't running (which isn't true; I checked), and trying to start or connect to the daemon from there does nothing.I get the following errors from deluge:

While watching the text scroll by as I shut down I noticed that there is a PostgreSQL Daemon running somewhere. The question I have is, how do I add myself and my own database to this daemon or do I need to run one on my own user?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am trying to daemonize my (java) program on ubuntu. For that end i created a script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton script which obviously uses start-stop-daemon.
But I cannot make the process (java program) run on the background. it keeps running in the same terminal i start my daemon script. Trying --background option for start-stop-daemon does not help.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a script that I want to run every time any user logs in (not only on the GUI, but also via SSH or via text terminal). The script will check if a daemon program is running (one per user or per session, haven't decided yet) and, if it isn't, will start it. I want this to be system-wide, not per-user. I thought about using /etc/profile (or creating a file in /etc/profile.d/) for CLI logins and /etc/X11/Xsession (same remark, Xsession.d) for GUI logins. My problem is that if the user uses a non-Bourne shell (e.g. TCSH) this won't work. Is there any initialization script that is run no matter what shell the user has?

Any who, currently i am working on a server for some residents at my current job. I have DNS and everything setup right and it is working. Samba on the other hand is configured right but it keeps shutting down after about a minute. it says "Dead". Ill restart the service(rcsmb start), and keep checking the status, and after about a minute it shuts down again. I have done a restart, double checked my configurations and still cant find why this is happening. (config file somewhere?)
Now since im new, im not sure what info any of you would need to help me out, so please chime in, if there is a specific file or info you need to know, please let me know and ill try my best to get it.
I installed ntop and it works but I cant make it autostart with my server. I started ntop with its parameters and it works as a daemon but if I restart the server ntop wont load even if an ntop file is in /etc/init.d. I executed rcconf and it wont list ntop. How can I make it autostart in daemon with my parameters? (like ntop -d -w12345)
