I want to have a terminal open and have something like a "repeating cat" command running in it for a certain text file (in particular /var/log/system.log). So my terminal will scan or cat the text file every so often or whenever the text file system.log gets written to by the system, it will display whatever it wrote to the file in my terminal that is open.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there is a command to show a real-time creation of files. I basically executed a command that will created thousands of files and takes a long time. I want to check if it is still creating additional files or if ti got frozen.

Is there some way to open this file and read in real time changes written to it ?
I know this command exists I just can't seem to find it. I want to see the last few lines of a file as more are added in real time. Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few servers that are exposed to the internet. When someone tried to brute force hack in to the ssh, ossec adds their IP to the hosts.deny. Then the hacker (read: script kiddie) moves to the next IP up the line and hits my next server, etc, etc.
I end up getting 20 emails for all the servers that they hit.
My question, is there anyway to sync the hosts.deny file across multiple servers so that if they are locked out of one, they are locked out of all?
this idea to me right now seems stupid and impractical so I'm also looking for solutions outside of this one. I'm creating a set of highly available servers. They currently utilize pacemaker to manage a shared IP address, apache management, mysql management and also drbd handling. They currently replicate, properly failover and run fine. However, this is a shared web hosting setup and everytime a new user is added to the system a username and password is created and the httpd.conf file is updated for their site. I need a way to replicate those changes to the other server. For httpd.conf I'm pretty sure I can just stick it on the apache drbd resource and create a symbolic link. However, for the passwd and shadow files that is not a realistic solution.

The VM software in use is Xen, as supplied with the OS.The host machine's time and date is fine, however both Virtual Servers are running ahead of real time consitantly.Running /etc/init.d/ntpd restart will resolve the issue however one of these is running MailScanner and when the time suddenly goes backwards, sometimes by as much as an hour, it stops working properly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used the following command to get the unix time of root user creation:
Code:
awk -F":" '$1 == "root" {print $3}' /etc/shadow
How can i convert this into the date/time of creation?
I am writing a shell script, which determines the OS installation date among other stuff, and i am assuming the root user's account creation date should be a pretty accurate pointer. Are there reasons why i should not be assuming so?I would be open to other suggestion for getting this date/time, but it would nevertheless be interesting to convert the unix time to "real" time without doing complex manual(or otherwise) computation..
In order to make this conversion I have to use a text editor. This is tedious. Is there an easier way to do it, like some program I can run from the Linux or OSX terminal?

I am using ubuntu 10.04 lts.
I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.

I've got the following problem:
1. I start two bash windows
2. In one of them I start a script test1:
Code:
This script puts a natural number 5 times a second.
3. Then in the second bash window I type (as root):
Code:
The script test2 looks as follows:
Code:
While true; do
true;
done
During the following 15 seconds test2 is the process with the highest real-time priority. As far as I know the script doesn't perform any system calls so it shouldn't be suspended even for a minimal timeslice. My question is: why the process test1 manages to put a few numbers on the screen before test2 stops. I thought that test2 would exclusivly own the processor for 15 seconds.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a linux router box with ubuntu which routes internet for several people. There is no extra traffic shaping, so everybody can get the whole bandwidth when its free. What I would like to have is a real time traffic counter per ip, just like a program called "iptraf" but on a per-ip basis. Iptraf can only count on a per-connection basis and thus cannot display a bandwidth that a certain ip has taken (because a single ip can start several onnections). So a console program with text interface like iptraf would be perfect - does anybody know about such a program? After some googling I came to the conclusion that such a program does not exist (which must be wrong - i think that per-ip real time traffic flow information is the first thing every router owner would like to know).
