I was under the impression that /etc/environment was the place to put variables if you wanted them to be available to all users at all times. But I just realized root which is running my service processes doesn't seem to load it.My /etc/environment:
Code:
RAILS_ENV="production"
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[code]....
Im wondering if there is a simple way to protect environment variables to be changed by child processes?

Old windows user finally real tired of them.. Kudos to Fedora 13 as the only popular Linux OS available for us frugal folk that embraced proprietary hardware on my old pukey hp pavilion laptop dv4000 wi fi card.Sad to report massive issues after allowing some 330+ updates to possibly infect this great OS. I'm currently running this 'Live" so I'm staying brief. My strategy will be to not allow any updating until I'm sure they are trusted and or needed, as this is the chosen OS, and I pledge to be moe involved as I try to figure out where or why this initial install went way south

I have an issue on one of my servers whereby the [normally very helpful] du and tar programs are somehow using up too much or my system resources (du 40% mem, tar 20% mem) and causing problems. I am after a command which is able to kill a process without knowledge of a PID but by process name e.g. "du" and memory usage e.g. >= 10%.
Something along the lines of:
kill $(pgrep du) grep %MEM > 10
Although I know that is invalid syntax I cannot fathom the correct/best way to achieve this end!
After an update recently I noticed that my process count jumped up quite a bit. Somehow it doesn't seem related (it was an apt update I believe), but I'll just throw it out there. All of the extra processes seem to be related to XFS and JFS file system kernel processes, but none of my file systems use XFS nor JFS, just EXT3 & EXT4. Is there any safe/easy way to kill off these processes and prevent them from re-spawning? I don't find having irrelevant idle processes to be beneficial nor efficient. It's using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Only active file systems are EXT4 and EXT3.

I have several web servers running Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit server and occasionally Apache sends my load to 13 and higher.
Is there a log that actually tracks the system load levels and possibly the processes running at the time and their percentage of the load?
At the basic level what I am looking for would be a log of top but not exactly that.
I have written this script to monitor Apache2:

It has all been working fine until recently when Apache is becoming unresponsive. I manually ran ps to check and there were 3 processes. However when I ran apache2ctl graceful I got the message 'httpd not running, trying to start' Is there a better way to check if a daemon is up?

I am running multi-threaded processes. These use OpenMP in my own code and the multi-threaded ACML maths library. When run in the foreground, everything is fine i.e. if I have set
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=8
then when I start all 8 cores are in use and things whizz along. However, when running overnight and logged out using e.g. 'at now + 1 minute' then the command, I am only getting about 130% CPU and it slows down accordingly. I have tried renice'ing and calling from within a bash script in case sh is doing something odd but nothing seems to solve it. I am sure that in the recent past this wasn't the case.
The libraries being used are shared versions in case that might have any bearing.
I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.

Within the chroot environment I have an iso file placed... In my program I need to access this iso file and perform mount and other operations.. But I cant do this in the chroot environment as I have only basic commands here (ls,cp etc.. and no mount)
So how can I access this iso file from my program ? Is there something like a file-descriptor which I can associate with the file exit from the chroot env and access the file via this fd ?

I had OpenERP completely installed and running just fine. All basic install instructions just worked out of the box on Ubuntu 11.04. Now, we also are going to develop our own web site. For that we needed a web development environment. Due to the small size of our home business, we have to do it all on one PC. So I went ahead and installed everything needed to get Drupal going, among which I had to install:
LAMP
Drupal
Memcached
Memcache
Postfix
Tomcat
and other packages.It all works like a charm, but now my openerp-web crashes when I start it with the following message:
Code:
[20/May/2011:16:17:19] ENGINE Bus STARTING
[20/May/2011:16:17:19] ENGINE Started monitor thread '_TimeoutMonitor'.

For those that do not know it: it is a module that interfaces with the OpenERP server software to allow people to access the system through their web browser, effectively eliminating the use to install a client on their PC. Very practical for our light weight laptop that we use in combination with my PC.
Normally one would connect by browsing to [URL] and automatically get connected with the OpenERP environment.Now, however, that does not work anymore with the above error as a result. Do you guys have any idea if I have to configure something in Apache to get this working again? Possibly with instructions, otherwise I'd get lost again in no time.

I was planning on using my VPS to grant some of my friends shells. The problem though is that I don't want them doing crazy stuff on it, like using up all my RAM or disk space. I would like to limit them to a very small 25 mb disk space, and allow them only certain application in /usr/bin like python perl irssi screen etc. I do NOT want them to be able to cd out of their home directory. I really want this to be setup like the shell provider SHellium. I can setup the FTP and SSH stuff myself.

At the end of the allocated time, the fastest program that successfully completes the task wins.I would like to set up a server similar to the way the Google AI challenge works, where users can upload code to the server via an html page and the code is executed and profiled on the server.The problem is obviously security... so... how can I configure my server so that the uploaded scripts are run in a completely jailed environment and do not have access to anything outside their folder and cannot execute any commands on the server?The chain of events looks like this: User writes script on local machine -> user zips script -> user browses to server html page -> user uploads script -> script is compiled and executed on the server -> user is shown output from script
