General :: Running A Script At Startup As Root?
Apr 14, 2010Is there a way I can run 'completely' one of my script when ubuntu's desktop appears no matter if root , administrator, desktop user or an unprivileged user logged in?
What does the script do? The script mounts a partition, looks for a file in that partition and finally on the basis of that file a decision of copying a partition to another partition is made. That copying is done via
[Code]...

Apr 29, 2011I'm new to ubuntu and I wanted to setup a headless server (Asus Hummingbird, 2GB RAM, Ubuntu Server 11.04). The installation was successful but: After I tried starting my server without any connected monitor, the server did not start -> I run into a kernel panic (if I connect the monitor after a while I can see the messages on the screen, Keyboard lights flash...). What do I have to do to get the machine running without any monitor? My second problem is, that the Network is always powered down on system power down -> no WOL is possible. Is there an easy way of enabling the WOL function? I tried several things from different tutorials but nothing worked...
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Giving Root Permission To An Application But Without Running It As Root?
Jan 20, 2011want to run VirtualBox with root permissions. Trouble is that only when run as root i can access attached USB devices inside of a virtual machine, otherwise, these a greyed out).Now running VirtualBox as a root user also changes the configuration folders, making all my virtual machines already defined disappear. I also don't want to copy all to the root configuration folders. Is there a way to give the VirtualBox root permissions but without actually running the application as a root user. Is it possible to do without changing the permissions of the non-root user, i.e. i don't want my user to have all root permissions, due to security considerations.

Red Hat :: Running IPmonitor To Monitor The Disk Usage On Our Servers - Running Df -h
Mar 19, 2010We are running IPmonitor to monitor the disk usage on our Linux servers. It does not seem to coincide with what is reported when running df -h. For example on a Red Hat 5.3 server - our IPmonitor shows that 85% is used on the /usr partition, however when I do a df -h on the server it shows that 91% is used. Why there would be a discrepancy? IPmonitor uses SNMP.

Jun 8, 2010I've installed ssh, as well as a script of my own, in /etc/init.d, and I've added both of them to the startup sequence (I've tried both the "rcconf" graphical utility, and "update-rc.d"). The installation utilities seem to be working just fine and report success, and everything seems to be where it should be, but on reboot, my startup scripts don't start up.
I have these scripts running on MANY machines withOUT the GDM/Gnome Desktop running. On this ONE machine, though, I have Gnome running.
Is there some fundamental difference between the GUI Desktop's startup sequence and the text-mode-only startup sequence?
Ubuntu :: 10.04 Startup Scripts Not Running?
Jul 21, 2010I have just installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installation. I have a script that I am added manually that is not starting on startup like it should, but I also have 2 normal startup scripts that are not running either. Apache2 and mt-daapd are 2 applications that I installed with sudo apt-get install apache2 mt-daapd. Neither application is starting during bootup. I tried making sure there were in the rc.d by using update-rc.d but both said that they already existed. Another script (mount_data) I made myself also has been added and is executable like it should be that isn't running at bootup.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bmcapture Using 100% CPU Running On Startup
Nov 7, 2010I noticed my computer seemed to be running excessively noisily, and upon checking into System Monitor, I noticed that my CPU was being held constantly at 100%. None of the processes listed on the process tab seemed t be responsible, but I found this thread which gave me the 'top' command.
Running it, I found a process running as root called 'bmcapture' that was responsible for the CPU use. Trying to 'kill' it failed; using 'sudo kill' gave me no error messages, but the process continued to run. This carried on through a restart.
I then proceeded to shut the computer down and leave it off for a minute. When I booted up again, the CPU was still running at full, and using 'top' I determined the same process was responsible; however, 'sudo kill' successfully killed it this time, with apparently no adverse effects.
My question is if anyone has any information about what 'bmcapture' is, whether its harmful (aside from the obvious issue of it using full CPU) or malicious, and if there's any way to stop it running on startup, because as it is I'm having to manually 'sudo kill' it every time I turn my computer on to stop it eating my CPU alive.
Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Make MySQL Running On Startup?
May 3, 2010I run Ubuntu 10.04. For some reason, MySQL won't start on startup. How do I make it run on startup? I installed it by installing LAMP using tasksel and did everything according to: [URL]. Also, I have another problem: When I try to start/stop/restart mysql in the terminal, the terminal will not give me any prompts after entering the command. E.g., after entering "sudo service mysql start", nothing will happen. Even after waiting for 30min, nothing happens.

Ubuntu :: Failure To Mount Root Device On Startup

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Root Script At Startup For Power Management
Apr 25, 2011I'm trying to enable a few of the powertop suggestions at boot. My plan had been to put the changes in /etc/rc.local, but it appears possible that some of the changes are happening too early in the boot process to take effect. Specifically
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings and cd /sys/devices; find . -name link_power_management_policy -print0|xargs --null -n 1 -I{} -t bash -c "echo "min_power" > "{}""
both work if run with sudo permissions after I've logged in. where to put these such that they'll take effect on boot? Or can I put a sleep in the rc.local?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Endless Script Running At Startup Safe?
Aug 7, 2010Sometimes I need remotely connect to my computer, but my router gains IP address dynamically. So I wrote simple script which gains my router IP and send me email:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
function send_mail {
echo $1 | mutt -s "New IP" myemail.com
}
old_ip=
while true; do
new_ip=`wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -q`
if [ -n "$new_ip" ] && [ "$new_ip" != "$old_ip" ];
then
old_ip=$new_ip
send_mail "IP changed, sending new IP: $new_ip"
fi
sleep 5m
done
I need it to run at system startup. When I'm adding it to .bash_profile bash path/resolveIP & I'm not getting any mail. In case of bash path/resolveIP (without &) I'm getting mail, but I guess it will never get to the next command in .bash_profile. So I put my script in /etc/init.d directory, but I don't know is it okay to have endless script there????

General :: Running A Program On Startup?
Aug 9, 2011I have a program I have made, and I would like it to run as soon as the system is finished booting. I am using Ubuntu Mini Remix to recreate a LiveCD/USB stick. After booting, it drops me to a command line where I can enter "sudo qct" and it will run my program (which is called qct, and it has to be run as root).I want this to be automated.Instead of going to a command line, I want it to run the program itself at that point. How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.
View 11 Replies View RelatedRed Hat :: Running A Process Behind The Scenes At Startup?
May 6, 2010I have not been able to find any information on this, mostly because I am sure I am searching for the wrong terms. Let me explain what it is I need to do.I have a timeclock process that needs to be running all the time on my Red Hat server. Right now, I manually start the process from terminal:Code:# ./timeclockThis runs the process inside the terminal. The only problem is that if I close the terminal by accident, the timeclock stops working. This is all well and good for now, until I get more timeclocks.Then I will need to have one terminal open per. What I would like to do is to make this process run at start up, and run behind the scenes (no terminal). At the same time, I need to be able to re-run the process (again, hopefully behind the scenes) in case the timeclock goes offline or the process crashes.I know very basic things about Linux administration, and I know it is possible to do this (as there are processes now setup by someone else that do this), I just do not know how. EDIT: An idea I had would be to make the script run every minute, checking to see if the process is already running, and if it is not, then to start it. That way it would automatically correct itself if it went offline.
