why my jobs manpages are missing? I noticed that there is Ubuntu manpage entry. [URL] Also when I check on various Linux systems it takes me to BASH_BUILTINS(1). I also can't seem to find BASH_BUILTINS(1) on my system either.

I have a cron job that executes fine in opensuse 11.4. It is located in
/etc/cron.d/publish.cron:

I have 2 printers plugged into a Windows XP PC (an Epson Stylus Photo RX580, and an HP Laserjet 1020) with full sharing on and everything, and is shared with other Windows PCs via the network I have set up. It has worked perfect. But today I added a PC running Ubuntu 9.10 and and can't figure out for the life of me what I am doing wrong. I installed both of the printers via the GUI in Administration, and both of them are detected and Ubuntu says they're working. But when I put something in the queue to print it stays there with the status "pending".

I want to add two separate tasks/jobs to Cron that needs to run every 10 minutes, but I would like the second job to kick off only 5 minutes after the first job. Is there any way this could be done within Cron?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a new Dell PowerEdge.
I built the system ~2 months ago and have successfully been running a list of cronjobs.

I see "cron" in the process list when I run ps.
I just reinstalled linux on one of my computers, and now it seems that any scripts in the rc.d folders don't run at boot. I have to go in manually and start them all after I can get to a terminal. I have webmin running on this computer, and no matter what I do, it always says that nothing is supposed to start on boot, even though the scripts are clearly in their respective rc.d folders. What can I do to fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to reconfigure vsftpd so that it does not start on boot (and I can enable/disable it using service vsftpd start/stop).
Though I've seen posts in the forums that stated that upstart jobs can be disabled by moving the /etc/init/job.conf file, other sites commented that the original file will be recreated on updates.
The other two suggestions were to alter the upstart script such that either the process starts on never:
Code:
start on (never
and filesystem
and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
stop on runlevel [!2345]

Have a headless server running Lucid 64 bit. Everything is working great except for a couple of Cron jos I'm trying to have run at boot.
My user crontab looks like this:
# m h dom mon dow command

@reboot /usr/bin/SpiderOak --headless &The SambaBkup script works like clockwork...
The SpiderOak job doesn't start. It works if I type the command in manually.

I recently set up exim so that I could test emails sent from my php sites. I have now been getting daily emails that either report errors from cron jobs or report a failure to send emails to root@cory-laptop or cory@cory-laptop about cron errors.I first of all don't want mail sent to the above addresses, because they are obviously not actual email addresses. Second, I'd really prefer not to get emails when an email failed to send to these addresses.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried using the jobs command in bash in F14 but nothing happens.
Code:
[root@Fedora ~]# jobs -l
[root@Fedora ~]#
Code:
[root@Fedora ~]# which jobs
[Code].....
If jobspec is given, output is restricted to information about that job. The return status is 0 unless an invalid option is encountered or an invalid jobspec is supplied.
If the -x option is supplied, jobs replaces any jobspec found in command or args with the corresponding process group ID, and executes command passing it args, returning its exit status.
Is the jobs command dropped for the ps command instead ?

Cron doesn't run jobs in Debian 64 (testing). It gives error

I use an application called redbutton-browser to access some of the things available on the redbutton digital tv channels. It compiles fine if I use a simple make but fails if I try to run parallel jobs with make -j4.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSince my last server upgrade, last Thursday, cups is having a strange behavior: I have 3 text-only printers, and an application that prints to them. The application, to print 5 lines, it sends 5 jobs to the printer. Before the upgrade, all the jobs where printed sequentially, without any delay. After the upgrade, cups makes a small delay (5s or more) between every one...Its very annoying for the users...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've setup two printers through a system running Ubuntu server that are shared with 30-40 users on our school network.
If the printers run out of ink or paper, they stop printing. The lazier members of staff don't proceed to recharge the ink or paper so when somebody does, hours later, the old jobs start printing again which the teachers no longer need or want.
I'd like to automatically have my system purge print jobs older than 1 hour. I'm running CUPS and sharing the printers through SAMBA. How do I do this?
I have a Brother MFC-295CN network printer. Been having a heck of a time trying to get this thing working since I installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday. I've been away from Linux for some time and am new at using it. Downloaded and installed using the Software Center:
mfc295cnlpr-1.1.2.i386-1.deb
mfc295cncupswrapper-1.1.2-2.i386.deb
brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb

View 9 Replies View RelatedSometimes I want to keep something in PDF files, so I print to the PDF "printer". However, if I inadvertetnly forget to check the PDF creation and rather take the real printer (which is usually only powered up, when I really want to print something), printing goes to the real printers queue and nothing happens ... until, possibly some sessions later, I want to print something (on paper rather than PDF) and power up the printer.
Then all inadvertent garbage comes first and chances are big, that the printer gets junk during power up or reconnecting the cable to the computer and then the whole thing is wasting even more paper, since escape-sequences sent to the printer get chopped and misunderstood by the printer.
In order to stop this alltogether, I am looking for a mehtod, to automatically flush the whole printing queue every time when I log out of my ubuntu session.
I know, there is a command lpq to tell which print jobs are pending, I also know the command cancel -Umyname -a, but this requests for my password. I want to kill all those incomplete or pending print jobs automatically.
And how do I hook such a command script into the logoff or shutdown sequence?
I've set up a cups printing server using ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS. The printer's a HP Laser Jet 1018 I can connect to it over vpn using openvpn from my netbook which is also running ubuntu 10.04.1. I can connect to the printer all right and test page prints without a problem. But if I try to print anything else, it take at least 5 minutes before the job is successfully send and printed out.
Also, on the client side, for example, the file size would like 500k, and when it finally prints out, the file size on the server side is less than 10k. The file is a black and white document, and from what I can tell, the printed page is not missing any information.
