Hi all, I'm running a script in my crontab like this: */50 * * * * /root/scripts/keepjobrun 2>&1 > /dev/null However, crontab always sends a message to root (me) about the above script.

Hi all. Can anyone help me with scheduling tasks? I'm running Centos4.2 (updated via yum starting from 4.0). I know I have vixie-cron and anacron packages installed (came like that, from first install, I guess). I read the crontab syntax man page (man 5 crontab) and I made an entry as a normal user (using crontab -e) that looks like the following: 30 0 9 1 1 /bin/ls -F /home/jose >

Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

Seeing the latest round of updates rolling in.... I just 'again' felt the need to say "Hats Off" (pun intended) to the CentOS team! The organization very much behind the scenes is not apparent, but very much must exist. It almost looks like there is an 'internal' competition between members, each trying to roll out the updates faster than the other. I know this must

Greetings Some time ago I briefly played with NFS. More recently with Samba. What I am wondering is if NFSv4 is already integrated into Centos 4 from upstream. Reference: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6331/1/ if not, is there a timeline? Centos 5 ? and... is or can NFS be a compatible yet better replacement for Samba? thanks - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications

How? I couldn't find it, nor could he after the fact. If it exists, where is it, or how do I get to it for future reference please? I usually use a centos server cd
