dear all, i can't count the times that webmin came to my rescue. whenever i face a dead end in doing something through CLI i always turn to webmin.. though at the moment i wanna learn how to do things through cli instead of relying on webmin as i said.. especially "System and Server Status" theres a module that supports such a thing where i can set monitors that checks specific services or directories or... and reports the output.. so i wanna do this through command line.. any help ? i've checked crontab -l and it doesnt list anything that i've set in webmin so where is it and how to do it through cli ? _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Webmin "Tip of the Day" from the website: "To see what commands Webmin runs for each action you take, use the Webmin Actions Log module." Maybe you will see something... But I am afraid you won't learn much; typing check_apache or clicking check_apache is not much different... Unless you open the scripts (Perl I think) and you study them... JD

For many of the services started by init scripts you can execute 'service service_name status' to see if they are running. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
