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, 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 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.

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?

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

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

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

Hi, I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6.
