Ubuntu Servers :: Starting Multiple Programs At Boot On Server
Feb 11, 2010Running Ubuntu Server 9.10.I have a couple of programs that I would like to start at boot, they will both run forever. I have created a cron job with @reboot and that will start a program, but if I have multiple programs in there it waits for the first to finish before starting the next.

But gnome-terminal will not start until I close filezilla, and gedit until I close gnome-terminal. How can I get the whole set to start up?
Ubuntu :: Multiple Starting File Manager - Loads Of Them At Start Up?
Aug 15, 2011I have a problem with 'Starting File Manager' completeley filling my taskbar on startup.There could be 100 of them for all I know, as the taskbar ends up dividing into tiny slices for each.How do I find out what is causing this?

SUSE :: Starting A Program With Multiple Versions Installed
Feb 11, 2011I have matlab installed on a network (I am not the administrator) and we usually start the program by typing "matlab", then choosing one of the version options from the menu i.e. typing "n". So because of this, trying to run matlab programs or commands directly like this... matlab -r ProgramName
...does not work. I just get the menu as usual and everything else is ignored. I assume the admin has overridden the matlab command with their own custom script. So my question is can I start a specific version of the program by specifying the folder that the version is in? I thought it might be something like /opt/matlab/version -r programname
this might look foolish, but I am a bit of a linux noob. Let me know if I should just ask my administrator but I thought there might be something easy I am missing.
General :: Multiple Servers Or One Server With Multiple VMWare?
Feb 7, 2011I'm looking at setting up a couple automated systems: Here are a few examples:
* Internal accounting system to download and process emails
* Public web server to visit
I could put each system on its own separate box -- for example, it's generally good practice to separate anything that external users have access to (such as a webserver) from internal processes such as accounting. Now, rather than dishing out the money for two separate servers, could I get away with just installing new instances of VMWare on the same box for each system?
To give you an idea, these are not large scale computationally sensitive systems. The accounting one is simply downloading and tallying emails, and the latter is just a webserver with maybe 5 hits per day on a good day. I could definitely pick up a new box for say $50, but I wanted to know the general practice of using VMWare on the same box versus two separate boxes.
Ubuntu Servers :: Windows DHCP Server - Multiple Boot Servers ?
Apr 1, 2011I'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'
From: [url]
I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
General :: Copy Lines Starting And Ending With Specific Pattern From Multiple Files To A File?
Jul 27, 2011A function by name abc is called in many files. I want to copy all the lines with the function call to an output file.A simple grep on function name doesn't help me as the function call is spanning across multiple lines as follows:
abc(parameter1,
parameter2,
parameter3);
So I want to copy all the three lines (till semicolon) to the output file.The problem is because there are more than 200 calls for the same function and I cannot do it manually
Ubuntu Servers :: Backup Multiple Servers ?
Jan 19, 2010I currently have a group of 3 servers connected to a local network. One is a web server, one is a mysql server, the other used for a specific function on my site (calculation of soccer matches!).
Anyway, I have been working on the site a lot lately but it is tedious connecting my USB hard drive to each computer and copying the files. This means I am not backing up as often as I should...
I have a laptop connected to this same network that I use for development so I can SSH into to the computers, is there any software for ubuntu that can take backups of files that I choose on multiple computers? I know I could rsync but is there something with more or an GUI?
Then I can just every 2 days move the most recent backup from my laptop to the USB drive. Then I will have the backup stored in 2 places if things go kaboom somewhere.
Ubuntu Servers :: Multiple FTP Servers On One Machine?
May 20, 2010I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 and have a secure (SSL/TLS) FTP server on it. However, I'd like to use this FTP server to update programs I made using Microsoft Visual Studio. Unfortunately, in Microsoft's infinite wisdom, secure FTP servers cannot be used. Rather than use an insecure FTP server, I want to set up my secure FTP server to be able to access whatever I need to on the machine, and then add an insecure FTP server that only has access to the directory where I put my update files. I am currently using vsftpd as my FTP server. Is there any way that I can set up two FTP servers on this single machine?
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: SSH Not Starting On Reboot
Nov 29, 2010I have set up a new IP specifically for SSH and configured SSHD_Config accordingly to listen on this new interface and a specific port. However when I reboot SSH is not starting. Looking in the syslog it shows that it is unable to start. It looks like its trying to listen on the interface before it is set up.
Code:
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (601) terminated with status 255
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (610) terminated with status 255
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (618) terminated with status 255
Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped
I am able to start SSH manually once the server is booted. Do I need to set up my interfaces differently to ensure they are available prior to SSH starting somehow? I don't want to change my ssh config to listen on all addresses.
Ubuntu Servers :: MySQL Not Starting - No Errors

Ubuntu Servers :: Starting Several VMs On A Remote Headless Via Ssh
Nov 24, 2010I'm starting several VMs on a remote headless ubuntu server via ssh using:
Code:
VBoxHeadless -s <vmname>
The VM starts up okay, and I'm left with an occupied command terminal on my local ubuntu machine. So, if I want to start up several VMs on the remote server, I have to open up several command terminals and end up with as many occupied terminals once they're all running. When the local terminal is closed, the remote VM is also shutdown.
Is there a better way to do this without the remote VM being dependent on the local terminal? I'd like to remotely startup the VMs and be able to close the local terminals without shutting down the VMs. I'm sure this must be possible, I just don't know how to do it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Bind9 Not Starting On Boot
Mar 2, 2011Since I have not gotten anything on the "General Help" I am posting this here: When a Ubuntu 10.10 I have starts up apache2, MySQL and postfix start properly but bind9 doesn't. Once booted is I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start' it starts. The only thing odd on this system is I have a "inet6 v4tunnel" interface defined in my /etc/network/interfaces. From booting in the syslog there is:
Code:
/var/log/syslog:Feb 28 19:02:42 ubuntu named[1029]: starting BIND 9.7.1-P2 -u bind -d 9
/var/log/syslog:Feb 28 19:02:42 ubuntu named[1029]: built with '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc/bind'
[code]....
Even with the bind debug level at set at 90 I do not get any more in the logs that what I posted before. The lack of errors in the logs is giving me no idea where to start. I commented out the IPv6 tunnel interface and rebooted and still no help. bind still is not starting at boot. OK, it is not a permissions issue, I have changed the config and zone files to be owned by bind:bind, root:bind, root:root and bind:root and it has made no difference. Doing a fresh install on a Virtual Box VM and configure it in a similar manner bind9 starts normally. (I am almost to the point where I will rebuild the box)
Fedora Servers :: Starting VMs Without VMM?
Feb 7, 2010I have an installation of F12 where I used VMM to create and run four virtual machines.
If I set the machines to start at boot in VMM, but set my host to not boot all the way into X, the VMs don't boot.
IS that suppoed to be that way? Does VMM's auto-boot of VMs depend on some X or GNOME stage?
If so, what's the best way to fire up the VMs such that it doesn't conflict with any subsequent use of startx? (Don't eant to end up with double the machines just because I had a need to fire up X on the host.)

Everything runs just fine on tcp/8080 as initially configured. Modifying the connector port in /etc/tomcat6/server.xml to anything below 1024 (e.g. port 80) results in:
