I have the problem, that I am trying to automate some Informix database job via the crontab.
The job runs fine when done via the command line or processed via the at queue, but not via the crontab. The informix error "-23191 Unable to load locale categories" might indicate that the locale is not set.
How do I set the locale for cron jobs?
I am having problems with a Red Hat server 2.6.18.
The creation of a new TCP socket takes very long - once it is established it is fine. iptables and selinux are disabled - is there any other service which needs to be stopped?
Oddly enough I see the problem with Windows machines only.
I am trying to check/change my network card speed settings with RedHat 5 and a Proliant G6 server from HP.
On eth0 I can not really use ethtool - it just says Link detected. The network card is a Broadcom NetXtremee II BCM5709.
Is there any other tool from HP for this task.
The output of setting the speed is:"Can not get current device settings: Operation not supported - not settings speed not setting duplex".
I realized that I will need a soundcard on the server to support sound using the remote desktop client. Should soundcards work which support Windows 7? Our server runs Windows 2011 Small Business edition.
I have to install redhat without a direct access to the internet. I have now installed Redhat 5.4 and would like to upgrade to 5.6. I have copied the content of the iso image to $INSTALLDIR - how do I update now. How can I register the server when I have a valid licence number? I have seen this questionquestion, but it does not answer the registeration part / I tried rhn_register, but it requires an Internet connection.
I am trying to run tcpdum on Solaris 10 as root user.
I always get unknown device - even though I am using the name provided by
ifconfig -a
How can I find out the right device name?
How can I create a backup of my schedulded tasks so that I can restore them on my backup server easily?
Edit: I would prefer a command line version, so that the backup of the schedulded tasks is a job on its own so that I do not miss any changes.
I am having trouble to install ssh via Cygwin on my latest new Windows machine with the latest Cygwin version.
*** Warning: The permissions on the directory /var are not correct.
*** Warning: They must match the regexp d..x..x..[xt]
*** ERROR: Problem with /var directory. Exiting.
$ ls -al /
d--S--s--x+ 1 Matthias Administrators 0 2010-12-06 07:52 var
How can I modify the rights on the directory so that it fits the above mentioned regular expression?
I would like to look at some log files solely via the console on a standard Windows 7 machine. The logs are created by schedulded tasks and I find it a hazzle to use VNC for this purpose.
What technology should I look at? Powershell, Cygwin via ssh or something else? The log files are written using log4Net - thus there might also be an easy way to reconfigure it to create events or something else for remote display.
I have a SunFire T2000 server which has 2 mirrored disks pairs. The server required an exchange of the system battery. After swaping the battery first no disks were found.
After booting from CD we managed to find the disks, but now one disk is broken and the raidctl reports a failed synchronisation.
The boot process stops now when trying to mount the file systems. The power light of the broken drive is not even blinking.
What is the best way to proceed now ? Fortunately I could live with loosing the data on the drive as it is backed up, but I would like to keep the rest of the data as it contains /etc and get the server booting again.
My main Solaris server has an issue with its battery and thus I lose around 20 seconds per day.
Currently I am using rdate once in the morning to synchronise the time. Which approach should I use until I can change the battery on a weekend? Should I switch from rdate to ntp?
The machine runs plenty of cronjobs and thus I need to ensure that everything is started even when the time is changed.
How reliable are the maximum Cisco throughput numbers from their specs?
I am considering to use ASA5505 and I expect a constant load which is around 60-70 % of the specified maximum and peaks around 80-90%.
What is the general perception of the quality of the Cisco firewalls vs the specs?
The main firewall task will be to block ports and NAT - no http kind of traffic.
Is there a way to measure the network consumption to a specific IP port.
I am running 2-3 process with multiple threads which connect to a remote server and I need to know the exact used network bandwidth from my server to the remote server.
My server runs under Linux - unfortunately I have no access to the involved network components.
I am on Solaris and I need to sync a directory path with a ftp server. Unfortunately a large part is made up with links which do not work with the ftpsync.pl script which uses a rsync-like mechanism. Does anyone know an alternative with rsync style synchronisation via ftp which works with links?
I am running linux and I am running a script/program in the background using
cmd &
This works fine on Solaris, but on my Linux box (2.6.9-55/ Red Hat), the background process stops when the originating terminal window is closed/loses connection. What do I need to change this, so that this works as it works on Solaris?
I am considering to use 3rd party memory for an upgrade for a T2000. Are there any special things to consider? I have checked the memory banks and I would use the same size of chips for the upgrade? How is your general experience with non-SUN memory to be used with Sun?
