set up BASH scripts on the server to automatically download and process data, and then upload it to my website. Is it even possible? Do servers allow website owners to place BASH scripts that can run automatically, or keep running indefinitely?

this is not specifically a slackware related question, but since done on 2 slackware boxes... the situation is, i have one box for browsing and other desktop activities and another box acting as router/local server. what i want to achieve is that the router box would look on a nfs mounted folder for new *.torrent files (which i put there from the desktop box) and if there is a new file, it would start downloading it automatically. also a good thing would be if it would notify me when finished.so how would you go about itwhat torrent client would you use and so on? maybe someone has already done something like this?
View 4 Replies View Relatedforums so I'm not sure this is the right place for this topic.So, my question/topic thing is:I have a PHP script that runs on an apache2 web server (www-data).From this script, i want to launch a process that stays alive all the time,ut the parent script keeps on going. So I think I will need to run a command like 'at' to put the process on a queue, and the script can continue and finish, without waiting for the process to stop. But it seems like I will need to run the 'at' command as a different user, because www-data stops the 'atd' process. I'm not sure about that. Does anybody know how this could happen?

Here's what I've done so far, I've copied /etc/init.d/single for the structure, and tried to use dtach to provide a handle to access the process. However, my main problem is issuing the signals to kill the process (Ctrl-C) from a bash script and exit dtach (Ctrl-`)

I am having trouble getting grub to automatically boot into ubuntu server. When I turn on my server the grub menu shows up and shows me the choices. They all work fine except that grub wont automatically select one. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but this is a headless server and I can't boot into ubuntu without a keyboard. I tried looking through the grub 2 documentation but nothing seemed to work when I edited the conf file.

And websiteB needs to be constantly restarted, so both need to be on separate apache servers or instances.Virtual directories wont work cause I can only point websiteA to a directory /var/www/websiteA.Reverse proxy wont work cause I can only catch a sub directory.Proxy /websiteA/ URL...Does anyone know how I could get this to work in anyway.

I am trying add three namebased virtual hosts in local apache2 webserver OS ubuntu 10.10. The three sites are :www.site1.eka,www.site2.eka,www.site2.eka
The first I created a file is virtual.conf in conf.d directory its content is :
# we're running multiple virtual hosts.
# NameVirtualHost *:80
Next I created following files in sites-available directory. [URL] is as follows:
#site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site1.eka)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.eka
ServerName www.site1.eka
ServerAlias site1.eka .....
When I visit the [URL] in browser it says server not found.
I know Ubuntu can do amazing things, but I was wondering if it can use different Internet connections for different websites.
The Setup: We have 1x unshaped ADSL connection at 4MBPS (fastest available) that's used for office related things, Skype, General browsing etc. We have another ADSL connection, this time shaped and running at 4MBPS, I want to send all requests to facebook, twitter and downloading sites like fileserve, filesonic, hotfile etc. to the shaped connection. Can iptables be used to do this? The unshaped ADSL router is connected to eth0 and has an IP of 192.168.0.1 the shaped ADSL router is connected to eth2 and has an IP of 10.0.2.1 Local lan is connected to eth1 and has a range of 192.168.1.0/24 Can iptables send a certain webpage (*.facebook.*) to eth2 and other pages (*.google.*) to eth0 ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am moving some websites from a shared host to a newly configured Xen based VPS with Ubuntu 10.04. A steep learning curve but I am getting there! I have a couple of sites installed on the new server and want to test them out, from what I understand I should be able to edit /etc/hosts on my desktop computer (running Ubuntu 10.04) which should automatically redirect my browser to the new server. But it doesn't seem to work.
This is what I appended to the /etc/hosts file:
12.34.56.78 www.xxxx.com
I thought that this should send any requests for www.xxxx.com to 12.34.56.78? Some googling indicated that the browsers I am using may be using DNS caching, ignoring the hosts file. I've tried clearing the cache with Chromium 7.0.517.44 (64615) and Firefox 3.6.12, and even installed a plugin in Firefox to block DNS caching.
I have an issue viewing my hosted webpages via wired connection on the same network as the server. I can view them via wireless without a problem but wired times out.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe purchased a new database system at work last October, ditching the old system because of a lack of support from the vendor. This is a retail Point of Sale and Backoffice database system. I am not sure what system the new one runs on, but the system we replaced was a Firebird data base. The reason I am posting is because we are now in need of the information contained in the old database which was not completely imported into the new system.
Basically the problem is this: The database in on a Windows XP system and I found a copy of SQL Manager Lite 2008 on the system, which after quite a bit of studying, I figured out how to extract the database into a removable file. I have this file (178MB) on a USB stick in a file called Backoffice.fbd.
My studying suggests to me that I can get into this database with MySQL. I have never used this and have no clue how to do this. All I want to be able to do get into the database and create tab deliminated spreadsheet files for each of the database sections (Customers, Repairs, Sales History, stock files, etc.) Is it possible to do this with Ubuntu and MySQL and if so, can expert suggest one or two things to get me started. While a guided tutorial would be nice because I am not an expert, I am willing to learn on my own if someone could point me in the right direction.

Where apart from ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail does kmail keep account data, such as login data/names of pop/smtp servers? I wanted to install an entirely clean version of kmail, so I uninstalled/re-installed kmail via YAST. I manually deleted ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail. After installing kmail I found that the account data of my Yahoo account were still listed in the kmail configuration panel. Shall I delete the Yahoo account within kmail prior to uninstalling the kmail package?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this intra net server project going on and now I moved to 10.04 however there are still some things that I would like to see clarification and instructions on. I am interested to set up multiple parallel websites for my apache server, however I am not sure how to do this exactly. Now I have solid address rivera.wippies.net and port 80 redirecting to my server. What I would like to get done is that I get multiple independent of each other websites for my server I was thinking of making websites like this
/var/www/site1 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net)
/var/www/site2 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net/othersite)
/var/www/site3 (which would be rivera.wippies.net/secondothersite)
etc, so that I have multiple "individual" websties for my server. Requirements would be that each of these websites could have SSL encryption as needed available too, since some of the website could have confidential information.
I currently am running 10.04.1 and have successfully setup my home web server to run a single website. My current settings are:
-I have registered the domain name annarrankings.com through godaddy
-A record is - host = @ and points to = 71.114.220.3
-CName is - host = www and points to = @
-on my server I have the site running in /var/www
I've done some research and found that to run multiple websites I need to setup VirtualHost.
-So I created a folder /var/www/annarrankings.com and moved my site to that folder
-Edited Apache2.conf to add the following line
-I then went to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and copied the default file to a new file called annarrankings.com. Here's the annarrankings.com file after I edited it
-I then created a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the annarrankings.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
-Next I editied /etc/hosts
-When i went to enable the site using a2ensite annarrankings.com I got the following
I figured this was ok since I had already created a symbolic link earlier (a result of trying to following multiple tutorials and ..... videos at once) so I reloaded apache2. I created an index.html file in /var/www/ just for testing purposes and when I load www.annarrankings.com I get the file located in /var/www/ instead of the website located in /var/www/annarrankings.com Do I need to change my A record or CName in godaddy or did I just do this completely wrong?
I'm having a VPS using Ubuntu 10.4 and i would like a guide on how to restart apache2 process every few hours (a time determined by me).

everytime i open a terminal window, all i see is:
$ _
and i have to type bash everytime to get it running. i found a bandaid fix by having it type bash at the "custom command" profile preference... but i still consider the problem to be unsolved, because i still have to manually type 'bash' whenever i log remotely (putty). it seems like something happened, and now bash is not loaded by the terminal by default like it should.
PS: i already tried 'cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~./bashrc', and it didn't seem to do anything.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10, fairly fresh install. Had one hard reset since I installed it, which could be when the problem started. Also, I was messing a bit with profiles, switching their ID's and adding/deleting them (not sure if that would be the problem).
I am having a problem identifying a BASH script process that I run at startup.When I use "ps -e", I see a few BASH and SH processes running, but I don't know if any of these are my script. Is there a way to give a BASH script a specific name when run that I could see as the process name. That would make it easier to identify and kill when needed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere are often times when the best way to launch an application is from the terminal, but it is a graphical application and after it is launched the terminal is useless.
Examples of places where a terminal is convenient are when a process starts lots of child processes and is also unstable; you can be sure to kill all of its children simply by using Ctrl-C at the terminal. Also it allows me to read program output and to set up the terminal environment to be optimal for the application (for example "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT")
With GNU screen, I can get around the hassle of having a terminal window open by using something like the following in a terminal window:
Code:
screen
my_command
Ctrl-A d
and then I can close the terminal and the program will keep running. Then I just type "screen -r <Tab>" (the tab will get me my screen session if there is only one such session) in any terminal window, even a tty, and I can get the screen session back and use Ctrl-c or something.
So my question is, is there a way to do this automatically so that a launcher or script will start a screen session, inside that screen session start a process, and then detach from that screen session without me having to manually open and close a terminal and type the commands?
