Debian :: Running Same Process Multiple Times(from Another Account) / An Instance Of Newsbeuter Is Already Running Error?
Aug 6, 2010Sometimes I connect to my Debian box from another computer (using SSH on Cygwin or Linux), and once ina while I want to run some console apps. And sometimes some of these apps might complain about "another intance, Error: an instance of newsbeuter is already running (PID: 2496)". Is there a work around for this issue at all(without killing the original instance") ? The reason I do not want to kill the app because there might be 2 users connected to the same machine that might be using the same app.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Apt-Get Always Running In Background
Mar 7, 2011Every day I use the top command to check the processes running on my Kubuntu 10.10 system. Every day I find that apt-get is running under the root account and using 100% of the CPU. It'll run forever if I let it but I use "killall" to stop it. Pressing the "c" key in top shows the command used to start the process and doing that I see that apt-get is being started with "apt-get -qq -y update". The -qq param is for quiet mode and the -y is to answer yes to any questions. The important thing is the update parameter. It seems that some "feature" of Ubuntu is starting apt-get in update mode for me on a daily basis. I installed Kubuntu only 3 days ago and I don't recall turning this "feature" on anywhere. How can I disable this "feature" and prevent the system from auto-starting apt-get.?

Ubuntu :: Escape A Password In Sbackup Utility
Apr 28, 2010This is prolly a quickee, but I not able to figure it out.
I am using sbackup installed on karmic 9.10.
I am using the gui driven sbackup, and the field below needs a passwrd:
ssh://usernameassword@192.168.1.201:/usr/home/username/BAK/
This is a remote backup to a backup storage server.
Nothing fancy, just need to know how to escape a assword@ were the real password uses non numeric/alpha characters.
my passwd includes an "@" so would i use quotes? backticks? backslashes?
Using a passwd like ab34f67 will not work, i use shift'd chars like ^&*@ so forth in my passwrds.
Ubuntu :: Sbackup Doesn't Restore All Files?
May 2, 2010I moved up to 10.4 which is working great. I backed up my files with Sbackup so now I'm trying to restore my Home folder but it appears that not all files are restored. I'm restoring from a "full" backup on an external drive. Dumb question: Do I need to restore all the directories (etc, home, usr, var) to get all my home folders/files restored? Or why don't all my Home foldersfiles show after restoring "Home"?
EditPerhaps I have an answer. It appears that I have to install individual folders/files. I assumed that if I selected the Home folder that all sub folder and files would be restored. Apparently not. I have restored individual sub-folders but not parent plus child directories.
Software :: Sbackup Restore Will Not Work With Ubuntu 10.10?
May 21, 2011It appears that backing up files is working, but when it comes torestore, with some files it works and with others it does not. When t does not, the message (Unable to finish successfully. TAR terminated with errors..) appears. It happened when usingoth compression formats of gzip and bzip2, so I tried no compression and got the same message.There was never a problem restoring the files in /home/bob/ but /usr/bin/dother directories did not work. The problems occurred in both a Dell and an HP netbook

Software :: (ns)sbackup.conf File Meanings?
Sep 15, 2010Using NSsbackup on Ubunu 10.04 desktop. Generally all is successful - except for two things.First: If my USB WD Passport destination drive is not awake at the time the backup is started, the backup fails. But if I run ls -al on the drive, that wakes it up enough to take the backup. How to deal with this problem?Second, I have a question on the meanings of one of the commands: "format". In some examples I see "format = none", in others "format=1".What do these mean? Is this related to what type of compression might be being used after the tarball is created? Compression typethat name) is not mentioned in the/etc/nssbackup.conf file, for instance.

Mar 27, 2011I have a script that calls another program/script, xxx, to run in the background. Supposedly this program at most should finish within five (5) minutes so after five (5) minutes, I run some other steps to run the script into completion. My problem is sometimes the program takes longer than five (5) minutes and this is causing problems when running the rest of the steps in the scripts. Can anyone suggest how to re-program my script. At the moment, the KSH script, i.e. test.ksh, is doing as below:

xxx/xxx.ksh <--- program/script called by the script
sleep 300
..... run the rest of the script .....

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Running Program In Background In Child Emulator Process
Aug 26, 2009I wonder how one can, if at all, run an X program in the background *in an emulator sub-shell process*. What I mean is to launch a program in an emulator, e.g, by xterm -e gedit
but with gedit (in this example) running in the background from inside the xterm sub-process, so that the xterm will accept other commands. In the above, gedit will run in the foreground, and of course, if you do
xterm -e gedit &
then xterm will run in the background, not gedit.In short, I would like to achieve the same thing as "gedit &" as you manually do in xterm, but from another shell. What I aim to do is write an X init script to achieve this result (to have the emulator open and a program or two running from it, in the background, at the X startup).
