Under the old C6 I put an entry in rc.local to run my programs I want. We will call it /path/boot.sh Worked fine. Under C7 I have created a new service file for systemd. It looks like: --------------- [Unit] Description=Company After=network.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/path/boot.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ----------- For the most part this works every time on boot.

I have a box I just installed centos 4.5 on. The name of the machine in /etc/hosts is TomSlick.xyz.com TomSlick (for example). the name of the machine in /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=TomSlick.xyz.com Note both are upper case: Yet when I login as root the prompt is showing me tomslick in lower case not a combo upper lower. I have grepped /etc and below for tomslick and cannot find why this

What is happening in centos 5 with network config files??? I have a machine with 2 network cards. ifcfg-eth1 keeps changing to DHCP. All my static setup is gone. Why is it doing this? How can I stop it? I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP. I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

I made a little file with a From:, To: and body. I execute the command cat file.txt | sendmail -t -O MinQueueAge=1m thinking that the message would try every minute to send instead of the default 30m. (if the initial attempt failed of course). This doesnt seem to have any effect? In the event I have an important email and I want it try perhaps every minute (1minute) to send the email how do I

I have this old memory that the kernels used are a hodge podge of backports etc. So for a kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL should I use 0.4.10? Quoted from http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download: The latest stable releases can be found here. Currently this is version 0.4.10 for kernels <= 2.6.15, version 0.6.7 for kernel 2.6.16, version 0.7.4 for kernel 2.6.17, version 0.10.6 for kernels >=

Package: blktap-dkms Version: 2.0.91-1 Severity: normal After an update of the kernel in SID, I have noticed that blktap-dkms didn't automatically rebuild itself when I upgraded my server with a newer kernel version. My understanding is that it should have. Also, doing dpkg-reconfigure blktap-dkms or reinstalling the package did make it rebuild the kernel module. Thomas Goirand (zigo) --

I am trying to find a way to set auto login for a machine under X using the command line. I presume I want to use gconftool-2 to do that. Under the old X centos 4 I edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf This file no longer exists under X 7 for centos 5. I cant find a way to "show all" under gconftool-2 so that I can see what the key/value pair should be. When I do "gconftool-2 -a "

hello, the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst I know how to fix that. Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot? Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5 to boot :) -- Mark New Packages for C5 ---------

Is there a way to use kvm-amd on centos 5.1? I dont want to mess with XEN. I want the hardware virtualization that is on my AMD chip. I played with putting 2.6.24 and centos 5.1 on my AMD laptop, got kvm-amd and that works. However I want to put this on my desktop that is running 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5. Is there a way or do I just wave to use 2.6.24 or 25. Thanks, Jerry

I am sending an email from my machine devcentos5x64. the transcript below (hangs for 60 seconds) at the line: MAIL From:<root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com> SIZE=56 AUTH=root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com The email succeeds - but I am trying to figure out the 60 second delay. Neither email server is busy. Nothing is waiting. the DNS on both machines point to the same nameserver. The DNS

Hi All - I have a systemd service file to start my application. Part of my service file is: [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/path to start ExecStop=/path to stop RemainAfterExit=yes This works fine "normally". However - when I do a "yum update; and reboot" my script detects a kernel change and now does a number of "recompiling" steps for drivers and such before

I am doing a yum install netconfig on the new 5.1 and nothing gets installed. Was it removed? replaced with something else? yum provides netconfig does not show a "bin" command just false matches. Is there a new command? Thanks, Jerry

I was doing a yum update today. It downloaded all the packages. was doing the next part and my remote connection was lost. so ssh session was killed.

I do a yum update now and it returns as if there is nothing to update. last I saw it was 30 out of 312 in the installation

hi all, I use rsync to copy/backup ALL my stuff to another disk. When I run this seems like my machine (4 GIG ram centos 5.1) now begins to swap out more programs. Is there a way to reduce that swapping? I am running with echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness I simply mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year then rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/mon.day.year This is approximately

To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized. I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established.... I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going... I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part
