Ubuntu :: PHP Cli - How To Run A Page Periodically
Apr 20, 2010I have to run this page: [URL].., because it fetches the content of some feeds(RSS) and then inserts into Database and then sends SMS texts to subscribed users. when i run it with php-cli in bash like this: php feeds.php?u=y&d=y
I only get:
[4] 11719
but nothing happens, running it like this: black@loopserver:/var/www/loop/cp$ php 'feeds.php?u=y&d=y' Could not open input file: feeds.php?u=y&d=y
Can any one please tell me what to do? I think the problem is coming by passing get parameters, if i just run feeds.php everything goes fine, but I need to pass in those.
Ubuntu :: Renewing IP In A Periodically?
Sep 22, 2010I want to use a script to renew my IP every 5 minutes. I have a static IP and it seems that when another person enter the same IP address as mine, my IP is stolen and is assigned to him.
I know that Cron is responsible for running a script at some time interval. How can I use that to renew my IP?

Jun 13, 2010I have an Ubuntu 10.04 installation that I have been using for about a month. However, just recently, at random times for about 5 seconds I can't use my mouse or keyboard.When it does that, the computer isn't frozen, I just can't type.About 5 seconds later, all the text that I was trying to type suddenly appears. I have 4GB or RAM, and even when I barely have any programs running and at 0% of resource usage, the problem still persists. This has just been happening for the past day or so.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Xorg Periodically Spikes In CPU Usage?
Jun 23, 2010I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 LTS, and my system seems to have developed a weird problem. Every few minutes, especially when I'm using chrome, VLC, or the screensaver is running, Xorg will start to spike in its CPU usage - spikes occur several times per second, and generally go up to 50-100%. Spikes seem to be composed of half "System" and half "User" according to my System Monitor applet thing.
Weirder than the problem is the thing which seems to stop this behavior - going to a terminal which is running top and hitting enter a few times seems to invariably return the CPU usage to usual (within seconds). There does seem to be a ~10 second period where the system monitor shows a few % "System" activity. Xorg starts up again with the same spikes within minutes, however.
EDIT: It looks like almost any keyboard input to any terminal also stops the Xorg CPU use - things which change the state of the other terminal, e.g. hitting the spacebar, typing a letter, will work, while hitting CTRL or SHIFT does not suffice to return the CPU use to normal.
I'm using an NVIDIA proprietary driver (which system->administration->hardware drivers says is (version current) and Recommended). My graphics card is a GeForce 9400 GT. I'm using Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic, and x86_64 Ubuntu. Here's my xorg.conf file:

Ubuntu :: Screen Freezes / Locks Up Periodically?
Nov 23, 2010I am not sure exactly what is going on, but my ASUS UL30a (X32a) keeps locking up until I press a key, then it seems to resume for a while.
At first I thought it was just the mouse, but I noticed that the screen stops refreshing also. Hitting the space key (or any other key) brings the systme back to life (until it happens again).
It is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, not much seems to be going on in the top list (compiz 1%, xorg 0.5%)
I am looking for ways to try and diagnose the problem (if not fix it )

Jul 4, 2011I have a webcam that periodically gets dumped and I have to unplug and plug back in to get it to work again. I think it has to do with somethign about how the webcam is USB 2.0 but my PC is USB 1.0, even though it says it is USB 2.0. In Windows it would also dump it but then it would automatically remount it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Can't Log Periodically Into PhpMyAdmin
Jul 1, 2010I have Apache, MySql server, and phpMyAdmin installed on my desktop. With the default installation of phpMyAdmin, I should be able to log in as root without a password. (Or at least every other time I have installed it, I could.) However, that isn't the case. I can't log in to phpMyAdmin period. I have tried setting the password for root with MySql through the terminal. Still no results. No matter what I do, when I try to log in to phpMyAdmin, I am denied access.
this is a fairly common issue (though I have never encountered it before) as I found similar posts in numerous forums, etc. I finally found a solution and now have it working. In case others have a similar problem, I am posting the solution that I used here. First open a terminal. Then use the following command
Code:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
Substitute NEWPASSWORD with the password that you want to use and then you should be able to log in to phpMyAdmin as root with the new password.

Oct 15, 2010New Toshiba laptop dual booting with Windows 7. I really like MM 10.10 and most things are working great! Periodically I will be web browsing and I lose connection. At first I thought it was Firefox but if I try to disconnect wireless and reconnect it will no longer connect unless I reboot. My network is hidden but Ubuntu finds it no problem on a fresh boot and connects per my settings and it is not a network problem since I can connect to Windows all day long and the rest of the family never has problems.
My wirless device is: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)n and all OS updates are applied that I can find. I am thinking about un-hidding my network since years ago that used to be a problem with Redhat and even early Ubuntu but beyond that I cannot think of what else to try.
OpenSUSE Network :: USB Disconnects Periodically
Sep 15, 2010It's a bit unnerving.The monitor suddenly goes black, the keyboard resets, the mouse resets. And after about 2 - 3 seconds all is back to normal.My USB setup is a bit complicated (mostly because I could). A 7 port hub is connected to a USB port on the computer. Among other things, the 7 port hub is connected to a four port hub on the monitor (Viewsonic). The mouse is connected to the 4 port hub. The PS1 keyboard is connected to the PS1-to-USB convertor which is connected to the 4 port hub.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Videos Pauses Periodically On Intel Computer
Aug 20, 2010I've bought an used computer with DQ965GF motherboard which includes GMA3000 integrated video, Sigmatel 92XX (from what specs say) audio codec, and CoreDuo processor. Also 1 GB DDR2 RAM.It worked great when I tested it using live Ubuntu 10.04, Compiz worked out-of-the-box, etc.But when I installed and started playing movies, I found problems. Videos pauses from time to time, approx. once a minute (randomly), even when there's no other activity. They pause for a very short moment, half a second maybe, with audio, then resume, usually with 1-2 secs period of slowed down playback (like, trying to get up to speed and sync), then resume normally.
I tested with mplayer and totem, seems to be the same, though on mplayer the effect seems to be less frequent / shorter delays.Can this be video driver? Audio driver? Motherboard issues? BIOS settings? How do I test?The videos that I play are usual DivX AVIs, can't be speed problems. Also, when I replay the paused parts, they do not pause again, so these are probably not movie/hard drive errors.
Debian Configuration :: Untar Periodically Using Crontab ?

Debian Multimedia :: Xmodmap Periodically Resets
Jan 3, 2016I have a custom .Xmodmap file to change the keyboard layout. The problem is that sometimes the keyboard layout changes back to the default. I have seen the lights on the keyboard blink at times, so I tried unplugging and reconnecting the keyboard and yes - that reset the layout. I can see keyboard removed/detected entries in the logs as well, so I guess my keyboard reconnects sometimes, I don't know why. However the solution from the post earlier (to rename the xmodmap file to ~/.Xmodmap) did not work. So is there another default filename I should use? Or do I have to enable xmodmap to run when a keyboard is plugged in somehow?
The only thing I can think of right now is to monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log for "Adding input device USB Keyboard" and running xmodmap when that happens... but I'm really hoping for a better solution.If I can't fix the xmodmap problem, maybe I can fix the usb disconnects.I read something about power saving settings for usb. After some digging, I found that those settings are in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/. However, disabling autosuspend for the hub did not seem to work (it was already disabled for the keyboard).
But I found something else in kern.log. Perhaps the keyboard disconnects has something to do with static electricity?

OpenSUSE :: Automated Script To Run Zypper Dup Periodically?
Mar 14, 2010I recently updated my girlfriends laptop (and my own) to KDE 4.4 (using the Factory repository). I am also using some additional repositories like PackMan.
I recently read on this forum, that the updater-applet is only updating from the main repositories (the ones set up after install). I would like to update from all updates periodically using "zypper dup".
I read somewhere else, that cronjobs are used to run scripts based on schedules. how I could run "zypper dup" with a cronjob and preferably under root, so I dont have to type the password every time?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Monitor Periodically Blanks Off And On?
May 24, 2010I am running a nvidia gt220 video card and dual monitors. The acer monitor blanks out and in periodically. Quite often at times. I believe this is a driver problem. What I am wanting to do is roll back to an older driver. In the nvidia repository I only see the newest one listed and that is the one I am using.
I am thinking the 185 driver is what I have used before without any problems. Really not sure which one it was, but it was an older one. So the question is how can I get back to the older drivers so I can try and see which one it was.
Hardware :: EXT4fs Error Occurs Periodically?
Apr 5, 2010I am running Linux Mint 8 on my Dell Precision 350 computer. Every so often (sometimes every few hours, sometimes every few days, it appears to be random) my desktop will crash and display the message:
"70822.286411 EXT4fs error (device sda1): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #139281: invalid magic - magic 800c, entries 121, max 3278020), depth 171(171)"
This is displayed several times on all of the terminals, but with different numbers each time. When this happens, typing any commands in the terminal result in the error message being displayed again. When I restart after this happens, linux generally displays "Give root password for maintenance (or type control-D to continue):" and I give the root password. Running "fsck /dev/sda1" seems to fix this problem for the next boot, but then it will come back in either a few hours or a few days. Reinstalling the distro does not work, as I have already tried this. I suspect a hard disk error, but before I run out and buy and install a new hard disk, I wanted to know if maybe there is some way to fix this through software.

Ubuntu :: Create Background Sets Thet Periodically Change (like The Space One)?
Jun 8, 2010Have you noticed the space "background set" that is in Ubuntu from the 9.04?It is an xml file (as I discovered on this beautiful forum ).But creating it manually is very boring and long, it would be simpler to put wallpapers into a directory and use them all as background set. So I've created a simple script that generate the xml background file with the images in a directory. You can set the timetion of wallpapers and of transitions setting the proper parameters.
here's the link to the script:generateXMLBackground.shHow to use it?Create a directory and put into it all images you want to be in the background setOpen a terminal [Applications->Accessories->Terminal]Type "cd " and drag into the terminal the directory previously created and press enterDrag into the terminalhe script generateXMLBackground.sh and press enter [you can use parameters -t -d. For help use the parameter -h]The xml file has been created!!Now you only have to set it as background:in the "Change desktop background" window click "Add", navigate to the directory created at the beginning, set the type filtre to "All files" (at right bottom, normally it is 'Images') and choose the .xml file named #DIRNAME#Background.xml.Note:not run the script generateXMLBackground.sh you have not rights type into the terminal "chmod +x " drag the script and press enter (to make it executable).
Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Speed Drops Periodically And Will Not Increase Without Reconnecting?
Jan 25, 2011after maybe half an hour, the wireless download rate drops to about 110ks (and runs happily at up to 20x this until then). At that point, it will never pick back up above that rate unless i disconnect and reconnect. Once the problem occurs once, its like to reoccur about every 5 to 10 minutes until the machine has rebooted.

Debian :: Item Periodically Missing From Gnome Menu
Feb 12, 2011I have a recent install of squeeze. Beside applications from the squeeze repos, I have installed a few applications from their own deb files / repositories, such as Skype, Google-Chrome (not the chromium in the squeeze repos), Opera and Teamviewer.
All those placed their menu entries in the gnome menu, however periodically, at a new login, the Google-Chrome and Teamviewer menu items are missing. The applications are still there, but they dont show anymore in the menus. Only way to get them back I found so far is to reinstall the application.
Debian Configuration :: Keyboard Freezes Periodically In Testing
Feb 17, 2011I am running testing (with fluxbox) and my keyboard periodically freezes, meaning whatever I type in it doesn't respond. This lasts a few seconds (can be 2-3 or sometimes even more like 10) and one's it comes back I get all the keystrokes I was typing during the freeze. The frequency of the freezes can be like 4-5 times every hour and are very annoying. I can't seem to relate them to anything, they can occur during heavy usage but also when the box is doing absolutely nothing but waiting lazily for me to type some google search terms.
Can anybody help me track this problem down? At the moment I am using a wireless keyboard but this must be unrelated since I tested a couple of other keyboards (both wireless and wired) and the problem persists.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Periodically "losing" Ability To Connect To Server Via SSH?
Mar 18, 2010I know this isn't exactly a programming question, but it popped up in my use of git for programming projects at least. I've got a web server that I use to host my git repos on, but my ubuntu box seems to "lose" the ability to connect to it via SSH. I'll get a "connection refused" error when I try to ssh or use git. Rebooting my local machine will fix the problem, but only temporarily. I can still connect to the web interface just fine, and the problem manifests with other servers as well.
I've been working around it by pulling my changes over to my laptop and pushing from there, but that's sub-optimal as you can imagine. Has anyone seen something like this? I'd be tempted to say it's some kind of IP caching problem, but I can't connect even using the IP address of the server directly.
