I have a Bash script, currently run a couple times an hour from cron, that pulls data from an old Windows DB by rsync, converts it to SQL, and injects it into a MySQL DB for display in a LAMP-based app. (Make and Perl are also involved to minimize the number of tables touched and to clean up the SQL generated by Pxlib.) I'd like to add the ability to refresh the data immediately from the

with ipv6, you just allow the specific ports destined to the specific local machine(s) in on your WAN side, they don't need translating. same sort of rule as if you had a internet-facing service running on the routing system On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 11:55 AM Kenneth Porter <shiva at sewingwitch.com> wrote: > I finally got an ISP connection with working IPv6 and now I need to add

I found a bug in Webmin when using Webmin with SELinux in Permissive Mode. The author of Webmin, asked me, in their bug tracker on SourceForge: > Ok, thanks ... I see the problem.

What's available to remotely monitor services? What I'd like is something that can run scripts for each service to connect to a port and verify that it's up, and then send me an SMS message (phone text) to let me know which, if any, are down. Also, does a script exist that checks all the services listed by chkconfig and reports those that should be up but are down?

Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its normal verbosity when something is made? I want to use Make in a frequent cron job (every 1/2 hour, perhaps 10 minutes) but I don't want to get a bunch of emails telling me nothing was done (which will be most of the time). I just want to know when it found something to do.

I was unable to build the whole Mumble system on CentOS but it's available for Fedora Development. I just wanted the server part on my headless server, and a static build is available from the Mumble project on Sourceforge. So I grabbed the Mumble SRPM from Fedora Development, the static build from Sourceforge, and stripped the spec file down to the minimum needed to just install the

Can one just remove the fstab entry once the generated one is present? That would make migration easier.) Mount units created by the systemd generator are dynamically created each boot.

I'm setting up certbot/letsencrypt to provide a certificate for dovecot and sendmail. Is it necessary to restart dovecot to load the new certificate, as shown in most examples I find in blogs? That seems rude to established connections. When does dovecot read the cert and key files? Once at startup or each time a connection requests SSL? Is there a preferred locking protocol when changing

Is there a straightforward way to disallow the deletion of all IMAP mailboxes? I have a user who's deleted an important IMAP mailbox and I'm now recovering a recent copy from the backup. But I'd rather just blanket disallow all folder deletions. The user is using Thunderbird and this has happened more than once so I suspect Tbird is willing to let a folder get deleted too easily.
