I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. ---- SCRIPT ----- #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com"

I have the following kernels on my /boot: 2.6.18-128.1.6 2.6.18-92.1.18 2.6.18-92.1.22 I'm low on /boot space and need to remove the oldest version. It appears that I cannot use yum to remove since all of the versions are the same (only the release is different). I believe that I can use rpm to remove the old version, but I also need to remove them from the grub.conf. Any other

I need to write a script that will contact a remote system using TELNET with VT52/1xx/2xx/320 and perform some operations. I am familiar with TELNET but it appears that it won't work for my purposes.

It seems that I can never get through a phpmyadmin session w/o it hanging on "Waiting for http://....". The only way I have found to correct this is to cycle Apache. I can always get past the signon portion, but it hangs at various portions of selecting DBs or Tables. CPU is not overly active, all httpd daemons running, no myphpadmin remnants running. Can't find any problems in

What is the best way to temporarily setup a port relay. I'm trying to diagnose a problem with Cisco's latest VPN client and need to determine if the problem is port number related. e.g. VPN client---------23-(Linux box to relay port)-------xx-(Telnet server) (Keep in mind this is temporary and for debugging purposes) Thanks, Frank M.

First, I'm trying to following along on a document on "SecurityFocus" on "Securing MySQL: step-by-step". I'm on step 3.8 "Test the configuration". I have my CHROOT directory structure setup and the chrootuid is failing (haven't figured that one out, yet). So, I simply tried a 'chroot /chroot/mysql' and got: chroot: cannot run command

I'm attempting to install a product and it's failing the compiler check. CentOS 5.1 + echo='/bin/echo -e' + rm -rf configure-tmp + mkdir configure-tmp + tmp_file=configure-tmp/xxx + makedirs=. + /bin/echo -e 'Checking C++ compiler... \c' Checking C++ compiler... + cat + CXX=unknown + for i in '"CC"' '"g++"' '"cc"'

One of my user's processes shows up with the uid (numeric) rather than the user (alpha) on the ps command. The /etc/passwd file shows: theuser:x:500:501:The user:/home/theuser:/bin/bash But, 'ps -ef' shows the uid: 500 9041 8864 0 11:20 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef Allother active users show the user. Ideas?

I'm attempting to install Hobbit and at the point of web access via Apache. The error_log states: (13)Permission denied: access to /hobbit denied I've tried a number of things and am still getting this: 1) /hobbit is located in /home/hobbit/server/www 2) Made sure all files are in the apache group 3) I've even chcon

I'm attempting to configure sendmail to relay outgoing mail to an internal smtp server. I found that the commented line in sendfile.mc that starts with 'dnl define(`SMART_HOST'... needed to be uncommented and a valid value inserted. No problem there, but when I attempt to 'make -C /etc/mail', I get WARNING: 'sendmail.mc' is modified. Please install package

I'm attempting to install Hobbit 4.2.1 on CentOS 4.3. When attempting to "configure -server", I get: : : Checking for RRDtool ... RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for hobbitd RRDtool can be found at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR"

I can't seem to get phpMyAdmin working. I got the ip address problem (permission) resolved, but now I'm getting a "Parallels H-Sphere" error "Error 404: File Not found". I've looked in all the logs and cannot determine what file is not found. Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. | Systems Programmer | Information Technology | American Income Life Insurance Company |

I have a small number of boxes in different locations, and currently have a fairly crude cron job running on each, which does a ping of one or more of the other boxes, and if the ping fails, it emails me to say the other box might be down. It then emails me again the next time the other box appears to be up. Of course, this can't distinguish between the remote box really being down and there

Okay, I know about 'cron' and 'at', but how do you schedule jobs (scripts) based on events. For instance: Run script xyz when file abcd.efg arrives via ftp? TIA, Frank M.

Followup: I gave up on the Implicit and configured vsftpd for Explicit, that revealed some configuration errors (displayed on the client, Filezilla in my case). I then corrected these errors and switched back to Implicit and all is well. Frank M.

I was running a simple script and the system became unresponsive. I went to the console and couldn't get it to respond, so I had to POWER OFF! Ugh!

I'm having a problem with the Linux (unix) at command. I have a program/script that needs to run another program/script within seconds. Unfortunately the at command only accepts minutes as input. Therefore, scheduling a command within a minute (i.e. adding 1 minute to the current time), can cause the command to run within 1 to 60 seconds. (Add 1 minute to a time such as 11:43:59 will cause
