similar to: [OT] Simple Shell Script (while loop)

Hey Listee's I am trying to write a shell script to sort and compare my blacklist for squidGuard with the nightly updates that come down in a tar ball. It should be rather simple but I'm not to grate at this. The script is to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The blacklists work by having a folder

Hey Listees, I have a question (hopefully quite simple) about the system V init scripts in /etc/init.d. I have an app installed and for some reason it had no system V init script. It has been installed a long while now so I can't quite remember whats going on but basically I remember I wrote the init script my self and the app is enabled as a service which chkconfig to run at system levels 3,

Shadies and Mentlemen; I am trying to be green and put our backup servers to sleep during the day and have them wake on LAN and fire back up at night for our nightly backups as "sleep" is a sort of low power usage mode. (At this point I would be curious to know the different levels of sleep, what can I achieve? Does my server just drop into a low power state, or can I stop the hard

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! The crontabs are like the following example; 30 20 * * * sh /home/a_user/nightlyscrips/nightly_script_1 > /home/a_user/nightlyscripts/`date +%d-%m-%Y--%H-%M-%S`.log However, if this would have successfully ran last night I would surely expect to

Hi All, I have a win2k3 server that its backing up to a CentOS 5.3 server. On the Win2k3 machine I plan to have rsync back up nightly to the CentOS server through ssh. The command I am using is as follows: rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myuser at myserver:/remote/backup/folder/ /local/backup/folder/ This all works great for the inital test except its prompts me for a password for "myuser" (as

Hey Listees, Just a quick question. I hope this isn't received incorrectly by everyone as I do mean the best for the CentOS project; I am wondering if it would be frowned upon to upload CentOS to my RapidShare account. I understand I can freely distribute CentOS but to what extent? In its simplest form I only really want to upload CentOS 5.2 to my RapidShare account for speed. I had to

Hey Listee's I have a CentOS server with 2GB of ram and a swap drive of 4GB; swapon -a shows my swap drive as 4GB with only about 350 bytes in use (which is fine as my server idles with about 350-400MB ram usage so no swap should be in use. However my one and only swap drive had a priority of -1. I had read that the swap drive priority doesn't matter too much because I only have one swap

Hey guys, I'm a bit of a beginner (understatement!) with shell scripting and seek help! I am setting up our new squid proxy. Its working a treat and squidGuard is the icing on the cake. But, I am trying to write a shell script to search through our black list category's for squidGuard and remove the parsed value; Scenario: /some/directory/where/blacklist/is/stored contains about 40-50

Hey Guys I'm trying to install xcache on our web server (php optcode cacher) but I am having the following error.

Hey Listee's! I'm not that up on CentOS so I'd be curious to know if it is possible to upgrade CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 without reinstalling? Perhaps via Yum? Or can you get update RPMs? I hope this doesn't pose to much of a stupid question. Thanks for your help everyone. Regards, James ;) -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU/U dpu s: a--> C++>$ U+> L++>

Like earth can be trained simultaneously for degree and nprune, is there a way to train ctree simultaneously for mincriterion and maxdepth? Also, I notice there are separate methods ctree and ctree2, and if both options are attempted to tune with one method, the summary averages the option it doesn't support. The full log is attached, and notice these lines below for

Hey Guys n Gals; I have some arrays that I can't seem to expand correctly (if that's the correct word?), imagine the following example: #!/bin/bash myArray=("First" "Second" "Third") First=("Monday" "Tuesdays" "Wednesday") Second=("One" "Two" "Three") Third=("A" "B"

Some at 5:34 pm EST DAILY, all my call get disconnect. I tried RE-INSTALLATION, I tried Reinstallation on a virgin HDD, but its same. I tried changing VOIP provider I tried changing Internet Provider..But no help.. What could be the reason ? Here are my enties of crontab : ### recording mixing/compressing/ftping scripts 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57 * * * *

So I went to System > Administration > Server Settings > Samba and added a folder to share and initially set it to guest access to get things going. I couldn't access this one and only share on this server with guest access from either my Windows laptop (XP Pro SP3) or a Leopard server (10.5.8) so I changed the settings to use user authentication and added my local user details

So on a virtual server the root password was no longer working (as in I couldn't ssh in anymore). Only I and one other know it and neither of us have changed it. No other account had the correct privileges to correct this so I'm wondering, if I had mounted that vdi as a secondary device on another VM, browsed the file system and delete /etc/shadow would this have wiped all users passwords

Hi all, I have a set of 54 files that I need to convert from ASCII grid format to .shp files to .bnd files for BayesX. I have the following R code to operate on those files: library(maptools) library(Grid2Polygons) library(BayesX) library(BayesXsrc) library(R2BayesX) readfunct <- function(x) { u <- readAsciiGrid(x) } modfilesmore <- paste0("MaxFloodDepth_", 1:54,

I have some questions on how I can perform the following actions from the terminal in CentOS 5.5 final. My Google searches aren't helping and I keep seeing references to the command 'useradd' but this isn't present on my box; -How to add a new user? $ useradd -bash: useradd: command not found (This is the same for my normal user and when logged in as root) -How to set/change an

Listee's... I have a 5.5 box and I have formatted a partition as ext4 however I can't mount it, the mount command is telling me its an unknown file system type. fsck tells me the partition is a clean ext4 partition but I can't mount it. Some reasearch has lead me to believe the problem is that ext4 isn't enabled in the kernel by default in 5.5 (this was originally a 5.2 box that

Hi List, We have a CentOS VPS running a web site in a DC far away. The chap that dev's this site told me he couldn't SFTP in yesterday, his password was being rejected (I went to his desk to confirm and saw it was telling him the password was incorrect but neither him nor me had changed it and we are the only two with access to this VPS). So I logged in as root and reset his password, be
