I am trying to get the correct CPU usage using top. I ran collectD and I got different results.This especially happens when the CPU usage is close to 100%.Has anyone experienced having the top command report different results than other CPU usage utilities?
View 5 RepliesI'm timing how long it takes to run a command foo. I'm looking to append the results from the time command to a file, and discard the results from the foo command. I tried the following, but it didn't do what I want:
$ time ./foo > /dev/null >> output_from_time_command.txt
Any idea when the -D option was withdrawn ? I could not find much information on this . Also, what exactly is the difference between vgdisplay -v -D and just vgdisplay -v .

Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition
(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)
I scheduled a job, 'ls -a', with the at command, 3 minutes in the future. It looks like the job ran, but I cannot see the results of 'ls -a'. I accessed my mail with the 'mail' command and saw that the output of my scheduled job was message 1. I typed in '1' after the & prompt, and saw that the subject of the message was the output of my job, scheduled at the time specified with the 'at' command. I cannot see the output of the 'ls -a' command that I scheduled though. How do I see the contents of the message, and the actual output of the job.

This question may be silly and super easy for linux connaisseurs, but I was just wondering, for instance, I want to use the >find command to search for a file and send the results to a text file
View 5 Replies View Relatedi wonder if it is usual that the results of running commands via the command line is different from running them in a script file. my problem is that, i've to run 'modprobe -r e100' and 'modprobe e100' before suspend my machine via pmi in order to resume it properly. i wrote a script containg EXACTLY the same commands as i typed in the terminal/console but the result was not the same. the machine cannot be resumed as expected if i run the script file.

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.
I wanted to supply mplayer with the output of find command as arguments. The error returned showed spliced names of files whenever spaces occurred. I have subdirectories in my /home/my_user_name/Music/ directory, and in them multiple *.oga music files. The actual command that I issued was
Code:
mplayer $(find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga")
mplayer started but then was looking for broken file names. I am thinking quoting has to do with it to preserve the filename as one string but different attempts were met with inroads:
Code:
mplayer `find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name "*.oga"`
gave me the same result and
Code:
mplayer `"find /home/my_user_name/Music/ -name *.oga"`
complained about wrong mplayer syntax.

Apache is complaining about an error with SetEnvIfNoCase when I tried to start it. I've checked that the module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so exists. Also the 2nd code block below shows that I'm using the <IfModule rewrite_module></IfModule> tags so if the module isn't available, Apache shouldn't have read that part of the file. The fact that it's reading inside that tag pair means it's able to load the mod_rewrite.so DSO.

i ran the same program successfully but after placing a protocol i couldnt run this
Essentially my ksh script calls a program and passes some commands. It's entering the program just fine, but when it passes the commands it gets "invalid command" error, and loops for a bit.
When I run all the steps manually the program works fine. I turned debug on and see that it enters the program, cmbview, but for whatever reason, it fails on any command that it tries to parse.
Tried running it in a ksh shell, same error. Tried running it as bash shell, same error.
The cmbview exe works and the following commands work, so I can only assume its something with the script parsing the commands.
I've recently been trying to secure my Apache2 server running suPHP on an Ubuntu 10.10 box. My ideal solutions are to
1) Specify a specific php.ini on a per virtualhost basis. I have tried using the PHPINIDir directive inside a virtualhost block in my 'sites-available/default' file, but the parser throws an error
Invalid command 'PHPINIDir', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configurations I have figured out that the reason this directive is not recognized is because my server is running mod suPHP instead of mod php5. The default site on the server requires suPHP to perform certain administrative functions. First question would be, is there some other way to specify a specific php.ini besides using PHPINIDir, or does anyone have any ideas of how to get PHPINIDir to be understood under the current configuration?
2) Activate/Deactivate php5 on a per virtualhost basis. This will allow me to use PHPINIDir to specify a specific and secure php.ini. I know that I have php5 installed, as 'a2enmod php5' with a restart will activate php5 and override suPHP. Does anybody know what the commands would look like to load the php5 modules from inside a virtualhost block? I have looked around on the internet and found these two lines of code to add that will supposedly activate php5 under a virtualhost
LoadModule php5-module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php
I do not have a 'modules' directory in my /etc/apache2 folder, so I did a search for libphp5.so and found the only copy on my machine located in /usr/lib/apache2/modules. Naturally, I tried
LoadModule php5-module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php
but received an error
apache2: Syntax error ...: Can't locate API module structure 'php5-module' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
Surely I can't be the only one who's needed to specify different php.ini files for different virtualhost's while using suPHP, and I'd also have to assume I'm not the first one who's tried to integrate suPHP and php5 on a per virtualhost basis. Anyone have any ideas? I'm completely stuck, and that's the worst kind of stuck. The Apache2, suPHP, and php5 installations on my machine are standard for Ubuntu 10.10
I just reinstalled my server with Ubuntu 11.04 and I am now trying to put my websites back in place. The problem is that the configuration directive AssignUserId is no longer working. I simply get this:
Code:

Invalid command 'AssignUserId', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration This worked fine on Ubuntu 10.04. Should I install some module? How?
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS on my computer and realized I wanted to give 11.04 a try. So, using the Update Manager both times, I applied all updates then upgraded to 10.10 then to 11.04.
Here's where the problem starts. Grub loads fine. I choose Ubuntu. I briefly get a purple splash screen then a black screen with some text that looks like Ubuntu is trying to load (I've attached a picture of this screen). This screen flashes a couple times then stays up and nothing happens afterwards. I can input text and commands but I get no response. Not even an "invalid command". The only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and my computer will reboot.
I have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows 7 on a 50Gb partition (plenty right?), AMD 64-bit dual core processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. This is on an HP Pavilion dv3 laptop.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Fedora 14 on a new computer we presented as a gift to my sister-in-law. She is new to Linux. Although I've used Fedora since Core 1, I'm no expert on security issues, and this baffles me. She's doesn't know how to change the root password, so why doesn't it work any more? She discovered the problem when attempting a yum update from a terminal.(1) How could the root password have gotten changed? How likely is it that someone got onto her system through ssh, made a lucky guess on her root password, and then changed it? Are there robots that do this?
(2) The firewall is enabled. I have it set up as follows: (a) under "Trusted Services," only ssh is checked (I need to be able to get in remotely this way); (b) under "Trusted Interfaces," I have eth0 checked (I need to be able to use VNConto her desktop).Question: Are these settings giving ample protection? What settings would be recommended to protect her system while at the same time allowing me to access it through ssh and VNC?
