XpistosHey peps14:15
Xpistosor peeps14:15
Xpistoswrst:14:15
wrsthey Xpistos how are things going?14:15
XpistosStill trying to get this damn cron job to work14:20
wrstXpistos: on my servers i've always used webmin to do them for me :)14:20
Xpistosthis is a work deal, but I will hit you up on how to do that cause my files server is back up, eventhough the stupid sata pci card won't read a 2 TB drive,14:22
Xpistoswrst: I can't use webmin on thsi box14:22
wrstahh well understand not using webmin on certain machines14:25
Xpistosthe more I think about this, I really doubt the gateway server does not have a cron editor or something14:29
XpistosIs it any wonder why Joomla Sucks Ass!15:45
XpistosI ask a question in the chat room. somone asks me a dumb question back, confirms he asked the wrong question, says "wierd" and starts telling jokes15:46
XpistosThanks guys15:46
wrstha ha Xpistos can't say i'm a big joomla fan never really used it but I'm more of a drupal person, but i don't go deep into either one15:51
pace_t_zulusata pci card won't read 2TB drive?16:17
pace_t_zuluhttp://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/72329.html?wlc=1303744714 "Oracle's OpenOffice Surrender"16:20
vychuneLOL16:20
XpistosYEAH!16:22
XpistosSo does that mean that LibreOffice is going to be OpenOffice again/16:22
vychunei hope not16:29
pace_t_zuluno... seems like libreoffice is making a clean break16:31
vychuneYEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh16:32
wrstpace_t_zulu: i kinda hope they get a better name16:59
vychunewhats wrong with libreoffice?17:00
wrstjust not my fav17:06
vychuneoh well17:06
pace_t_zululibreoffice isn't bad... less cumbersome than OpenOffice.org17:09
pace_t_zului'd say the name is an improvement17:09
* vychune hits like button17:13
wrstthe hole .org part is just goofy17:27
pace_t_zuluwrst: ping18:43
wrstpace_t_zulu: pong18:44
pace_t_zuluwrst: put together a performance chart of the average geekbench scores of the macs i'v used since i switched in 200518:46
pace_t_zuluwrst: http://www.psy.vanderbilt.edu/staff/haitas/macs/18:46
pace_t_zuluwrst: thought you might be interested18:46
wrstcool pace_t_zulu18:47
wrstpowerbook g4 my wife still has one of those too18:47
pace_t_zuluwrst: nice to see the progression over time18:47
wrsta little long in the tooth but still a good machine18:47
wrstyes amazing the G4 when you look at her macbook pro18:48
pace_t_zululooking at the powerbook g4 score validates the intel switch on performance alone18:48
pace_t_zuluwrst: do you know withc macbook pro she has?18:48
pace_t_zuluwrst: i highly recommend the "MacTracker" app available in the Mac AppStore...18:48
wrstno not really, no wait its not a pro its an aluminum macbook actually18:48
pace_t_zuluoh... she got the 13" aluminum macbook before they renamed that line to the macbook pro18:49
pace_t_zulu?18:49
pace_t_zuluso first generation 13" unibody18:49
wrstuhh don't know pace_t_zulu, its aluminum it was new i thought at least a year ago?18:50
pace_t_zuluwrst: i feel like i recall she had it before lucid dropped... circa karmic...18:50
pace_t_zuluwrst: but she is your wife... so i trust you're memory would be better than mine18:51
wrstmaybe so pace_t_zulu, it came through the school but a 320GB HDD18:51
wrstno actually pace_t_zulu your memory probably better than mine ;)18:51
wrsti beleive you are correct now that i think about it :)18:51
pace_t_zuluwrst: it's very easy to verify which model it is...18:51
pace_t_zuluwrst: that's one thing the MacTracker app is awesome for...18:51
pace_t_zuluit just tracks the machines you own (just like the name says)18:52
wrsthmm might try that if she will ever let me look at it :)18:52
pace_t_zuluand it's not limited to macs... you can track iphones, ipods, ipads etc...18:52
wrstcool18:52
wrstoh pace_t_zulu i tried upgrading from unity to gnome 3/shell last night... not so good :)18:52
pace_t_zuluand subsequently you can get information on those machines very easily... like specs (uprgrading memory) warantee ... etc18:53
pace_t_zuluwrst: anecdotal reports are that unity works out of the box far better than gnome3 ...18:53
starsprouthowdy18:54
pace_t_zuluhowdy starsprout ... welcome18:54
wrstyeah pace_t_zulu i thought if it worked well i would probably go with ubuntu/gnome3 instead of unity18:54
wrsthey starsprout18:54
pace_t_zuluwrst: reviews of unity seem to be more positive than gnome 3 ...18:55
pace_t_zuluso far18:55
pace_t_zuluwrst: perhaps because the unity project has much more focused leadership ... and a practical roadmap to success18:55
wrstpace_t_zulu: i'm just not seeing it, unity while improving is much more incomplete to me than gnome 318:55
pace_t_zulustarsprout: new to #ubuntu-us-tn?18:55
wrstpace_t_zulu:  starsprout is a veteran :)18:56
pace_t_zuluwrst: unfamiliar name... someone we know who changed his handle? or am i just out of touch?18:56
wrstpace_t_zulu: i fear you may be out of touch ;) or just not here when starsprout is around :)18:57
starsproutsirens blaring for an hour now in Memphis18:57
starsproutsheesh18:57
starsproutpace_t_zulu, I've been here before...just not for a while18:57
* starsprout gotten a lot of great help here :-)18:58
wrststarsprout: storms?18:58
starsproutwrst, "tornado" to the east, and in n mississippi18:58
pace_t_zulustarsprout: perhaps you've been around during periods when i wasn't connected as often...18:58
pace_t_zulustarsprout: i'm on a persistent connection at the moment18:58
starsproutpace_t_zulu, live happens18:58
wrstone of those doppler tornados starsprout or the real deal?18:59
starsproutspeaking of life, anyone know about .htaccess redirect rules? :-D18:59
wrstpace_t_zulu: you quasseling still or irssi?18:59
wrststarsprout: i know i have screwed up an .htaccess file before :)18:59
starsproutwrst, never can tell - it's really calm here in midtown, but stormy to our east18:59
starsproutwrst, I always back it up first, but I'm kinda stuck on this one...19:00
wrsti think we are supposed to be getting some nice stuff this afternoon19:00
wrststarsprout: i've alwyas figured that stuff out just barely enough to get by19:00
starsproutI named the SSL cert for "mydomain.com" but in the shopping cart it automatically redirects to www.19:00
starsproutso users get the cert error19:00
wrstpace_t_zulu: you into any web development?19:00
starsprout:-|19:00
pace_t_zuluwrst: yes... i maintain a number of sites19:01
starsproutto make it more weird, I've Joomla on the front end, and OSCommerce in the back19:01
pace_t_zuluwrst: this is the site i spend the most time maintaining (the lab i work in): http://www.psy.vanderbilt.edu/faculty/schall/19:01
pace_t_zuluwrst: ^ what do you think19:01
wrststarsprout, pace_t_zulu is your man :)19:02
pace_t_zulustarsprout: why don't you just include www on the cert?19:02
starsproutpace_t_zulu, is that possible? It's a Thawte cert and their customer support said I'd have order a new one19:15
pace_t_zulustarsprout: in that case it may be easier to modify the ecommerce software to not redirect to www19:16
pace_t_zulustarsprout: what ecommerce software are you using... is it configurable?19:17
starsproutoscommerce19:23
starsproutpace_t_zulu,  it's full of php and config files if that's what you mean :-)19:23
pace_t_zulustarsprout: perfect19:23
starsproutheheh, wreg: "Abandon your mobile homes!!!"19:24
starsprouthmm...I see there's an .htaccess file in the oscommerce directory19:25
pace_t_zulustarsprout: the redirect issue is not likely related to a .htaccess file... thought it could be19:25
pace_t_zulustarsprout: more likely in a php file containing settings specific to your deployment of oscommerce19:26
starsproutin the root of the public_html I have .htaccess generated by joomla19:26
starsproutpretty complex19:26
pace_t_zulustarsprout: another option would be to reassing the domain name on the existing cert (if thawte allows that)19:26
starsproutI was able to tinker some RewriteCondition and RewriteRule options but not fully19:27
pace_t_zulustarsprout: i have no experiencing purchasing ssl certs... always generate my own19:27
starsproutmailserver ssls - another puzzle I have, but this one is first :-)19:27
pace_t_zulustarsprout: oscommerce "online merchant v x.x" which version are you using19:27
starsproutwould I find that at the top of a file in the root?19:31
starsprouthow about index.php,v 1.119:32
starsproutpace_t_zulu, is it possible to have one set of .htaccess rules at the site root, and a rewriterule in a subdirectory's .htaccess file?19:32
pace_t_zulustarsprout: yes it is19:33
starsprout:-)19:33
starsproutheheh, ok well now at least I'm confining my damage to the shopping cart subdirectory19:36
starsproutwhat is RewriteBase ?19:40
starsproutshould I add the directory name if I'm using it in there?19:40
pace_t_zulustarsprout: i'd advise against modifying things you don't understand... you may introduce new problems that can be hard to track down later19:51
starsproutstandard disclaimer noted - no user-serviceable parts inside19:52
starsproutfortunately I don't take tech advice well19:53

pace_t_zuluXpistos: still struggling with cron?22:02
Xpistosno I think it is a script issue22:03
XpistosI can set cron to run a touch FILENAME and it goes fine22:03
Xpistosthe only difference is the arguements22:03
XpistosI also have a box that I am testing it right now so I don't have to wait until tmorrow to check22:04
Xpistosthe testfiles work fine tough22:04
Xpistoshey pace_t_zulu how do I delete everything in the folder, but not the forlder itself22:16
pace_t_zulurm folder/*22:16
Xpistosthanks22:17
pace_t_zuluyou'll want a -rf switch if there are subfolders in said folder22:17
pace_t_zuluXpistos: ^22:17
Xpistospace_t_zulu: got it22:19
Xpistospace_t_zulu: okay, i have confirmed the script will run fine. Now it is not running from the cron job however so maybe it is the cron entry22:21
Xpistos0 1 * * * /usr/src/oZimbraBackup_1.0.1/oZimbraBackup.sh --msg-diff > /dev/null 2>&122:21
XpistosRunning at 1 am everyday22:21
Xpistosthe file is located in /usr/src/oZimbraBackup_1.0.1/22:21
Xpistosand is called oZimbraBackup_1.0.1.sh22:22
Xpistos if I run "oZimbraBackup_1.0.1.sh --msg-diff" it will run fine mannually22:23
Xpistosthe script itself said to use the /dev/null 2>&1 if add to crontab22:23
XpistosI have an empty space after the command in cron22:23
Xpistosor a cariage return rather22:24
