I know that this issue has been brought up before but I can't quite find the answer I am looking for. I have several servers where /var/spool/clientmqueue is filling up with unsent messages. I know this is because I have disabled sendmail on these servers. My question is how do I get it to stop and leave that poor directory alone?

View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know a way (the simple the better) to receive all the email that can be found in /var/spool/mail/user to a yahoo or gmail account?
i mean, instead of login to the server and read the messages from /var/spool/root, it will be a lot easyear and faster to found about them, if they will be sent to my email account
i know i can make the cron output be sent by email, if i place in front of the cron line something like :
MAILTO="email@something.com"
but in /var/spool/mail/ for root or other usernames you can found many other messages.
Is there a way to change the mail spool location from /var/mail/ to some other place? I'm thinking of users own home directory or $HOME/.mail.
This is because system partition is not big enough to keep all mail from the company and /home is in a different one.
Creating another partition to keep /var or /var/mail seems too much just to keep emails.
Solution: checking /usr/doc/procmail-x.xx/examples/advanced
In my samba configuration, I have a strange share.
Share name: MyPrinter
Shared folder: /var/spool/samba
comment = lp
read only = No
print ok = Yes
The spool directory /var/spool/samba has been shared as a printer. What will be the harm caused by it? (I don't know who shared such). And I also wanted to know the security issue due to it..
What is the message /var/spool/mail/acer for? how do I check the mail? I'm new to openSuSE.

I'm booting to Kali 2.0 live from USB and wanted to add persistence, but I can't get OpenVAS setup. The setup script runs and eventually fails due to no more disk space. Here's my df -h output:
Here's gparted:
When the setup runs it fills up root (/) which is only 872mb. This is a 16gb USB so I'm wondering if there's a way to allocate some of the 11gb of unallocated space to root? I couldn't tell how to do this with gparted, would I need to build a custom Kali iso or something with different partitioning?

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor a while my root partition has been filling up for no apparent reason. I I have been deleting things to find out it fills up again in a mater of days. To make it more 'interesting', there is a disparity between what I get from df and what the du command is telling me. After dismounting the other file systems and turning off applications, this is what i get:
output of df -ha
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdf5 69G 66G 54M 100% /
proc 0 0 0 - /proc
none 0 0 0 - /sys
[code]....
du claims that I'm using 29G on that partition, which sounds about right (this is my OS and basic /home partition, everything else is elsewhere). df on the other hand is telling me here that out of 69G, 64G are in use with only 54M left.
I have a lot of data on a nfs store external to an Ubuntu machine. I've had problems with the storage becoming full and have spent a very long time deleting files to get absolutely nowhere! Over 25GB of deletions on the 80GB disk has only cleared 1.5GB of space...
You can see below the hidden .snapshot directory, the disk usage for the nfs-store is coming out at 97GB when the disk is only 80GB in size, and the two directories I want on the disk are about 22GB in size.The .snapshot directory appears to have been made on Friday, I'd like to know if I can:
1) find out what command ran to create/update it
2) re-run the command to update the directory or remove the directory
Code:
ideasadmin@ideasadmin-desktop:/nfs-store$ ls -la
total 20

View 7 Replies View RelatedNoticed that one of my partitions on openSuse 11.1, mounted as /usr, filled up suddenly with over 20 GB of something. Tracked it down to /usr/bin, in which the X11 directory contains 2353 items and another X11 directory, recursively at least 11 times that I've expanded without reaching the last X11 directory. The newest files in each directory are dated 11/24/10.
Any idea of what's happening? How to stop it before it fills the disk?

I am using my ubuntu server as my home router.Everything is working as expected with one exception.y DSL modem is a POS and every now and again it looses connection to the router. Sometimes it needs to be reset and sometimes it does not.Either way, when this happens my ubuntu server needs to reacquire an IP from my ISP. If it screws up when I'm at home it's no big deal, but if it happens when I'm not around my housemates have taken to hitting the reset switch on the server. I'm not a big fan of this so I wrote a script to ping my ISP's gateway. If it's unavailable it bounces the eth0 interface and tries to get an IP. I am running this script every couple of minutes in a cron job. Now I'm getting syslog entries like

I would expect this behavior if "domain.com and anotherdomain.com" wasn't a domain that I hosted. But this is a valid domain that this server should be answering for. In my named.conf I do have the

I have a number of servers I manage, and one of them is archiving old data that is never modified on a separate partition. This partition is at 100% capacity. A friend of mine says this is an unsafe way to keep this partition, even tho I don't plan to add any more data to it or change anything within. I know I can archive the data to dvd, but I'd like to keep the data online for my users.
What are your opinions on this? Can I keep this archive partition at 100% capacity? Or do I risk some sort of data corruption? Should I mount this partition as read-only to help prevent any corruption?
I'm running an OpenSuse 11.2 box at home which updates a mysql database 4 times a day then posts 34Mb to my website. It's exactly the same amount of data each time, and my scripts*TRUNCATEs then rewrites the database with the latest data - so the database size remains the same.
There's a problem (I think with the script) however which means that everytime the script runs, approximately 34Mb of space on my hard disk is mysteriously taken up. I'll have to get that script fixed...
I can't, however find the files which are eating up my diskspace at the rate of 140Mb per day. I've done various searches (mainly with Dolphin) including hidden files immediately after running my flaky script and looking for any files created/modified in the previous few minutes when the 34Mb has disappeared.
There are LOTS of files in /proc (which I don't think is actually on my HD right?) and also in /var. There's nothing much in /tmp (on a separate partition) or any log files that I can see. The box has been running this script daily for the last 6 weeks so I'm hoping there's a load of files somewhere I can get rid of, then fix my script.
I'm at a web page for an organization and I want to get a bunch of information -- say the addresses of 20 members of the organization. The web page presents a javascript form looks something like:
First name: (textbox)
Last name: (textbox)
State: (textbox)
Member status: (radiobutton)
Find: (button)
It then provides the mailing address and telephone number of the member. I don't want to enter the data by hand 20 times, but would prefer to fill out the form automatically from data in a text file or database or script or whatever. Is there a tool in linux for doing this? I looked up curl, but it seems that I can do it in curl only if they are html forms, but not js forms (or more correctly, I haven't figured out how to do it). Moreover, the page returned by curl is not the page that comes up in firefox; I don't know why.
