Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

Oops, yes CentOS 7, sorry. For the record: # service anacron

It's configured in /etc/anacrontab and is usually run once a day by the script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron - cron.hourly is still run by cron. If the script doesn't exist, then

You have to have a system running for more than 65 minutes for it to run the daily cron jobs. And if this is a test system that you keep rebooting. Well. So if I want /var/log/rpmpkgs to get updated, I have to wait until the next day an keep the system up for a bit more than 65 minutes. Actually a quite reasonable requirement. Add this to my 'book': cron is your friend. Anacron

Hi all, CentOs has choosen anacron as default cron daemon. I did not look further about the reasons, I think there are some good reasons. I want to create a minute based set of scripts. No much precision required, once a minute more or less 20 sec is OK. Using anacron, how do you recommend to do it? Is anacron the right tool? Otherwise what's the right tool? -- RMA.

Is one meant to have one or the other? If so, which is recommended? I have -------------------------------- [tim at helen etc]$ cat anacrontab # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.

Hi everyone, I am using Samba 4.5.16-Debian on Raspbian and thanks to the help offered by everyone here I now finally have a mostly-working Active Directory network. I am now at the stage of creating inidividual user accounts for my domain and unfortunately I have a very basic but fundamental problem! I currently enter the following input at the command-line to create a new user on my DC: pi

Subject: rsync client-server users Are you using rsync in a client-server configuration? If you are, and if you have set up your cron or anacron tables to run an rsync client, does the client ever just hang? I am running one rsync server and two rsync clients, both clients are under control of anacron. And they both hang on the rsync command, forever. All three systems run Red Hat 7.1 and

Has anyone else seen a problem recently (like, the last few weeks) with anacron?

Hello there, I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled;

Hi all I have a '/etc/cron.daily/push-to-backup' script which the content is: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rsync [... long options line ...] echo "finished pushing to the backup" Launched manually, it's OK. Waiting for cron to execute it, In the "/var/log/cron", I see the starting time and the finish time, and I see it take about 10 minutes to make the job.

Hello, In trying to resolve a problem with a cron job, we can see when the job starts by looking in the /var/log/cron log file. However, I was asked if when the job ends could also be logged. (It seems to be something that crops up every so often over the years.) I found on the 'net this article https://serverfault.com/questions/248915/crontab-is-there-any-log-with-begin-and-end-time which

I've been asked to think about setting up an installation for a recently- widowed man. His needs are small - mail, Internet, on-line banking, basically - but his wife dealt with all of it on her laptop and he feels very insecure. It seems to me that CentOS would be perfect for him except for the need to keep it securely patched. I'm wondering if it's possible to auto-install

Hi, I am running centos on a laptop and the HD keeps on making noises every so often, even when I go to runlevel 1 and stop everything that could be doing so (hotplug, smartd, cron, anacron, atd, syslogd...). Is there any way of finding out what is accessing the disk? Not only it shortens battery life, it is annoying while working in a quiet room. Thanks Gabriel Send instant messages to your

Hi fellows, Pretty new to CentOS. I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI (or without loading any services). Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further. Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using Rescue option from the installation CD?

Hi all. Can anyone help me with scheduling tasks? I'm running Centos4.2 (updated via yum starting from 4.0). I know I have vixie-cron and anacron packages installed (came like that, from first install, I guess). I read the crontab syntax man page (man 5 crontab) and I made an entry as a normal user (using crontab -e) that looks like the following: 30 0 9 1 1 /bin/ls -F /home/jose >

One of these days, RedHat might actually run me off!!!! AAAARGH!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get CentOS 4 to simply boot to the console in text mode? If I wanted a stinkin' GUI I would have installed winders! Now, my KVM and 25 foot cord is just too long to send a GUI signal across the room and I'm missing 50% of the screen.. striped vertically.. at about 1/8th inch spacing. Not
