similar to: RFE: Lockfile option for use in cronjobs

Hi, I have a cron job to rsync one directory from one server to another every 5 minutes. There are some really big files. So it happens when the second instance of rsync tries to copy the same file when the first instance is not done yet. It drives my CPU crazy on the source server. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Thanks,

Hi, we started using centos7 to run kvm+libvirt. For novnc to virtual machines I like to start websockify as a daemon by libvirt (as a hook) Under Debian I used the line: # start-stop-daemon --start --chuid $RUNUSER --make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $PROGRAM -- $OPTIONS which creates a nice pidfile. In Centos I figured out, to include /etc/init.d/functions and I tried: # daemon

Hi All, I am still having troubling with PXE.

Hi, I can't remember if I already told you, but I'm building RPM packages of dovecot for RH73, RH80 and RH9. You can find these at: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ Or use apt as described on: http://dag.wieers.com/apt/ I also added a sysv file to the SPEC-file for use with Red Hat. If you add this SPEC-file to your tarball (probably with some custom changes) everyone can

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Under some circumstances the xl toolstack needs to create a loopback mount of a guest disk in dom0 (e.g. in order to run pygrub). Depending on the nature of the guest disk (e.g. qcow2 or raw file image based) this can require a qemu instance in dom0. The upstream xencommons starts such a qemu on boot. The following patch

While doing migration, sometimes found suspend lock file was not unlinked in previous operations, then there is an obsolete lock file in place, which causes the current and later migration cannot get lock. That happens seldomly but do happen. After checking the source code, I found there are some places that potentially cause lock file unlinked, including: 1) in lock_suspend_event() function,

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =

Hey linux-security-ers: I just compiled/installed Pine 4.02 for my RH 5.0 machine today (didn't see an RPM last time I checked ftp.redhat.com:/pub/contrib), and after I got it installed, it kept giving me errors about not being able to create a lockfile when dinking with my mailspool in /var/spool/mail. After doing some digging on DejaNews and the Pine website, I find a document who says the

Hi, Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ? The other tabs do not include CentOS either. For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on 1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be. Renaming "CentOS Events" to "Events"

Hi, I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut off (and missing from /proc/cmdline). This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it

Can anyone tell me what is causing htis by chance? I know it is the application.

Hi guys, I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would like to add some questions, but lacking any structure... I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects: - General questions about the CentOS project Answers about what the project is about, why the project

Hi, I constantly find myself fighting the wiki syntax. Today the problem is that I want a TableOfContents that does NOT include the page title. To be honest, I do not understand why the page title (level 1) is included in the TOC, and why it does not appear in the head-title (<head><title>). I found with Google that there is a syntax like: [[TableOfContents(4,2)]] instead of

Hi, Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text.
