Ubuntu Servers :: Schedule A Task To Run On The 1st Saturday Of Every Month?
Aug 10, 2011
Is there a way to schedule a task to run on the 1st Saturday of every month? I'm not sure if what I have here will run. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Server x64
What I have right now is:
# m h dom mon dow command
00 00 1 * Sat /storage/scripts/monthly-script.sh
This looks to me that it will only run at midnight if a Saturday is the first of the month. But if that's the case then that's not quite what I'm looking for...

I need to schedule for a repeated task on my Linux, as the followings:
-) Telnet to a remote node
-) Issue a command
-) Capture the output in a log
-) Logout from Telnet
-) Wait for a prescribed time interval
-) Then redo , but append the subsequent output in just on file
know which options do we have to write such a task?

I'm looking for a powerful network traffic monitor that can do all of the following (or at least a combination of tools that can do the following):
Tell me how much data was downloaded/uploaded on an interface this month and the previous month tell me how the traffic was used throughout the monthshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) used how much traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs used all that traffic
Hhow LIVE traffic flow statistics that can tell me total speed of traffic going through an interface as well asshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) are using how much of the traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs are using that traffic
This tool will run on a linux router through which all my internal PCs are connected to the Internet. This means the tool(s) need to work with NAT (traffic being forwarded and not necessarily destined for the interfaced being monitored).
The distribution being run doesn't have a package manager so any packages or dependencies have to be manually compiled and SCPed over file by file. For this reason, the tool/tools need to be simple (things like vnstat, not things like ntop that have their own web interface).
I know that vnstat can tell me the first bullet point so it's only there incase there's a tool out there that can do everything. If there's a tool that can only do the second or third bullet point, that's great too - I'll just keep using vnstat and look for something else to do the other task.

I set a backup copy of your home computer. I have a problem. A copy of the full exercise once a month
Code:
15 22 1 * * / root / scripts / bcsys.sh full
incremental and would like to do on a daily basis since 22, but aside 1 day each month when it comes to full
Code:
00 22 * * * / root / scripts / bcsys.sh incremental
How can this be set and whether there is a possibility?

I have Postfix and Procmail installed on Hardy.
Are there any tips/tutorials for sending out scheduled email?
My main use case for this would be sending out a Tweet and an email at the same time.

Best way to do a scheduled backup of a server (PowerPC, Ubuntu 9.10), when an exact copy of the linux partition would be made on a disk of the same size? It seems there are several solution, but I have problems choosing the best.

Just curious if it is possible to schedule a complete system shutdown and start up?
My box with ubuntu server on it is only used as an ssh/proxy server, so I would like save on energy costs and add a layer of security by completely shutting it down during the hours I do not use it.

I have setup Rsync as a daemon on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and the setup was successful. Here are my configs
Code:
root@hurricane:`# nano /etc/default/rsync
# defaults file for rsync daemon mode
# start rsync in daemon mode from init.d script?
# only allowed values are "true", "false", and "inetd"

I did a search and came up with many different opinions and suggestions, and I could not find any similar threads for this (if there is I must apoligize in advance and did not look hard enough). I am trying to create a backup schedule for client computers and servers; and I would like your opinion on what I came up with. Here is network infrastrusture setup:
16 client computers
6 serevrs
- Primary and Secondary Web Server (RAID 1)
- Primary and Secondary Domain Controller (RAID 1)
- File/Print Server (RAID 5)
- Backup Server (RAID 1) with USB 2.0 1TB External Drive
Of course I will evetually upgrade to Tape Drives, but I am saving up for that. Anyways I want to backup ALL client computers, Primary Web and DC server, and File/Print Server. This will be done (of course) on the Backup Server) Here is the schedule:
[Code]..

I am running 10.04 server with xbuntu desktop

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

I have a scheduled backup to run on our server at work and since the 7/12/09 it has be making 592k files instead of 10Mb files, In mysql-admin (the GUI tool) I have a stored connection for the user 'backup', the user has select and lock rights on the databases being backed up. I have a backup profile called 'backup_regular' and in the third tab along its scheduled to backup at 2 in the morning every week day. If I look at one of the small backup files generated I see the following:
Code:
-- MySQL Administrator dump 1.4
--
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version`
[code]....
It seems that MySQL can open and write to the file fine, it just can't dump

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

this has happened two months in a row since i first installed Ubuntu 9.10, at exactly one month after i've installed it, it wont start up properly when i clicked on the Ubuntu option as my OS.
It will bring me to a page with grub> appearing and im meant to type in something but cant figure out what.
so in the end i have to reinstall ubuntu again in my windows OS and this irks me a great deal, as i will have to reinstall my wine and spotify and not to mention losing all the data and pictures that i have saved in Ubuntu.

The "cal" command returns the current month. The "cal -3" displays the previous, the current and the next month.
How do you make it display the next month only?

I know this is not as easy or simple as I talk this questions for a free distro. Is it possible, that the last update for the update repository is from 07. Jan. 2011? I know I can get the srpm from rh and compile it by myself.
Is it right --> in case of new releases and limited resources the updates for supportet releases are not highest priority and so we have to wait a little or compile it manually from rh source?

My system (opensuse 11.2, kde 4.x) got significantly slower after a year of usage. Its response time is higher, boots longer. Filesystem is ext3 and is not fragmented. Number of daemons loaded on startup hasn't changed.

My rsync takes backup of everything from the differenct linux servers to my backup device which is 2 TB only .Since it takes almost full backup of source , it consumes space lot in the backupdevice. So i wanted to keep all my backup files of one month old latest files in backup device, it should remove all files more than one month data.
