Hello, I know centos does not use syslog-ng, but I have installed it at my university. My intention is if a particular string appears in my /var/log/messages I would like to get an email alert. For example, if i see a message "foo" in /var/log/kern I would like to email myself. Any idea how to do this? Has anyone done this before? TIA

I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system. What do people use to backup Centos systems? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Since when is there a limit in how long directory listings CentOS can show (ls), or how large directories can be removed (rm). It is really annoying to say, for example rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp and get only "argument list too long" as feedback. Is there a way to go round this problem?

What is an alternative X window manager, supported by CentOS, that has very small memory footprint? I want to avoid twm, because it defaults to interactive placement when not giving geometry options.

I once had firefox x86_64 installed (because it was the default). But that one has problems with plugins (flash, java), which are much easily solved by using the i386 version. So I unstalled firefox, and installed it again using: yum install firefox.i386 This worked, and even the plugins worked fine afterwards. I did have some problems when uninstalling, because yum insisted on a whole load

Is there any reason (besides upstream does it) to compile php5 with --without-sqlite in CentOS5 ? Would it conflict with the sqlite that yum needs? Is there a repo (centosplus, rpmforge...) having a php5 and sqlite enabled ? I can only find older mails that seem to imply it does not harm to include sqlite (and some which seem to imply the contrary as well, but without any facts) but I can find

Hi all, I have a problem using named with different CentOS5 servers (2 servers): all they are really slow to resolv any internet address and most of time fails to resolv. This situation differs if I use "forwarders" servers like opendns: resolving names it is really really quickly. And I don't understand why. On the other hand I have tested three DNS servers using Windows

Is there a simple way to strip out what I assume is a header that asks for a receipt that the message was delivered? I never like to send such receipts, and they are annoying. It mostly happens on a couple lists I'm on (not this one) - I don't just want it for myself, I may be setting up a list soon and if soon, would want to strip such requests out of the message before the list

Hey list, I have several crontabs set up to run at night and I'm not convinced they are running but of course, I'm not here to see for sure!

Hi, Thanks for the tip. I went to the Netherlands last week so didn't get a chance to try this out until this week. I upgraded to samba 2.2.3a and that helped. The bad news is that it only solved some of the problems. The file link to the floppy backs up now as the translation of the link is consistent somehow, but the character translation on the $ (dollar sign) and ? (pound sign) is not

Dear All Can you please do me favor and let me know how can I compare two files but not in line-by-line basis on my CentOS server ? I mean say row#1 in file1 has the same data as say row#5 in file2 , but the comm compares them in line-by-line basis that is not intended . It seems that the diff cannot do the job as well .

Grasping a full understanding of setting default Users, Groups and Masks has alluded me over the years, but now I find myself in a situation where manually "setting" the file/directory attributes is becoming a pain. I understand the fundamentals of the file attributes, though from time to time I have to review the "sticky bit"; what I do not understand is where/how the
