Has anyone else had problems using the --link-dest flag? I do what it says in the example rsync -a --delete --link-dest=/home/chamberl/oldbk/ /home/chamberl/source/ /home/chamberl/backup/ I make sure that /home/chamberl/source has some files exactly the same as in /home/chamberl/oldbk/ but evertything gets copiued, and no hard links are done (though they should be). Anyone know the problem?

I am looking for something similar to the windows SEARCH FILES comman with the option "files containing ..." (that is where I can specify a string and it will find all files containing that string -- not just having the string as part of the name but actually containing it in the text). Is there some way to do this?

I found the response below today online to a question I had. For some reason I never got the mail. I am not quite clear on what "DHCP + DFG + 2DNS entries" means when calculating the IP to set for the router: Thanks Re: [CentOS] Yum/WGET/HTTP sourceforge etc. new April 12, 2010 08:10AM On Sun, 2010-04-11 at 22:57 +0000, tony.chamberlain at lemko.com wrote: > Here is what I

Hi I got rsnapshot working, but I am still unclear about a few things. Say I have intervals daily 7 weekly 4 monthly 12 so running "rsnapshot daily" for seven days will create files daily.0, daily.1, daily.2, daily3, daily.4, daily.5, daily.6 If at the end of the week I do "rsnapshot weekly", then daily.6 gets moved to weekly.0 The next time daily runs, 5 will move to 6,

Hello I need to know a way to have scp allocate a tty on a remote machine so I can have it run sudo and activate a vpn which it will need to activate. scp with "-S" does not work. I can't chmod +s the cisco vpn client because when I try to run it it says it can not have setuser. I could have the user scp via root but I do not want to do that. Any way to have scp allocate a tty?

I have a shell script, /usr/bin/joevpn, which does a quick VPN connect. Basically (HOST and DOFIL are defined above and are correct. I just did not list them here) case "$1" in start) date > $DOFIL while [ -f $DOFIL ] do echo y | /usr/local/bin/vpnclient connect $HOST sleep 10 done ;; #

Another question about find. I looked at the gnome tool and tried to simulate what it is doing. I can't use it directly because it won't do sed. Basically I want to find all files with a string (except binary) and change it. let STR be the string I am looking for. NEW is new string. I am doing TFIL=/usr/tmp/dummy$$.txt find . -type f | while read fil do grep "$STR"

I am currently running CentOS 4.5 (which, through many Yum updates) now appears to be CentOD 4.8. 4.8 is still rather old, but I havbe lots of stuff (files and stuff installed). I would like to install Fedora but I am worried about losing all the stuff I have. I would have to back everything up, uninstall/reinstall things, etc. I am wondering whether there is some way to upgrade to Fedora from

I made a file partition-ks.cfg and put it in our machine 192.168.5.17 under /var/www/html. When I install a new machine I just do a linux ks=http://192.168.5.17/partition-ks.cfg I have a couple questions though: 1) I have the following in it: clearpart --all part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part /var --fstype ext3 --size=10000 part / --fstype ext3 --size=10000

I am looking for the optimal VPN. Well it doens't have to be that elaborate. Just the best VPN. We currently have some customers using PPTP, some using openvpn, some using Cisco Any Connect and there are a few others. So my question is, if you have control of both ends (client and server) what is the best VPN to use? There are not too many requirements, but a big one is The VPN must return

I am having a problem with 5.4 that I did not have with 4.5. The problem happens only sometimes but in specific instances. Basically a summary of the problem is that certain network transactions timeout. The specfic instances are with wget, rpm, http. The problem usually, but not always, occurs with pptp stuff. (NOT running pptp but getting pptp stuff). For instance, the following command, which

A while ago I sent mail about wanting to find all files that had a certain text string in it and changing it to something else. People mentioned that there is a system tool to do it (gnome has it too). I ran this, for example to find all files WITH "prog" in the name, and then I did a ps and I saw simply find . -iname '*prog*' then I did something similar, all file names

Hello I am trying to sync via NTP locally (since I have no Internet access). None of the NTP stuff I read on the net seems to work right. I mean it works fine setting up a client going to something like 0.pool.ntp.org but when I want to make my LInux box a server, and I do an ntpdate to it from another machine, it says no suitable server found. I have tried every possible combination of

Hi, I'm running Centos 5 on an IBM x3550 series server with kernel version 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP, dual xeon, 9GB ram system.

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs. (I tried downloading the DVD ISO with

I''ve been hacking at puppet for the past week or two, and came up with some great stuff, but I''m wondering if there''s a way to tie it all together To create a virtual machine for our company''s QA environment, I''m currently doing 3 things: #create a vm node vmsvr2 inherits default { include vmserver vmserver::vm {

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and

Good morning/day and Happy New Year. We have a geographically distributed environment (marketing speak: cloud) where we regularly need to migrate individual systems to new hardware (for bigger disks or for better geographical placement, for example). We currently use Cobbler to do our base installs automatically and I am now looking at integrating Clonezilla with Cobbler. The goal is take an
