| swimfins | ah go to /dev/null to p | 00:22 |
| JoeCoder | I'm logged in as root and I added a new sh file to /etc/cron.daily It is +x. It runs fine when I run it as my root user (from any directory, all paths are absolute), but it is not being executed by cron. | 00:33 |
| JoeCoder | are there any log files I can check? There is no /var/log/cron file. | 00:33 |
| JoeCoder | crontab -e shows an empty cron file. Do I need to make an entry in order for cron.daily to be used? | 00:34 |
| JoeCoder | maybe because my file does not begin with #!/bin/bash ? | 00:36 |
| swimfins | you don't need the sh-bang but you do need to tell it when you want it to run | 00:38 |
| JoeCoder | so I need to add a cron entry before cron-daily is run? | 00:39 |
| JoeCoder | it's not automatic? | 00:39 |
| JoeCoder | (I had assumed I could just dump scripts in that folder) | 00:39 |
| swimfins | no, you | 00:41 |
| swimfins | you're right | 00:42 |
| JoeCoder | what user does cron run the script as? | 00:42 |
| swimfins | that should work. You will see job info in /var/log/syslog | 00:42 |
| JoeCoder | perhaps it's failing due to some environment difference. Is there a way to make it log? | 00:42 |
| JoeCoder | ok | 00:42 |
| swimfins | from ubuntu.com "When adding a new entry to a blank crontab, forgetting to add a newline at the end is a common source for the job not running. If the last line in the crontab does not end with a newline, no errors will be reported at edit or runtime, but that line will never run." | 00:43 |
| JoeCoder | wow | 00:44 |
| JoeCoder | I had no newlines | 00:44 |
| JoeCoder | that seems like it should be a bug? | 00:44 |
| JoeCoder | a bug that should be easy to fix and should have been fixed long ago? | 00:44 |
| JoeCoder | grep server-backup /var/log/syslog found no instances of my server-backup.sh running. | 00:45 |
| swimfins | I believe that the newline would follow all entries except the last one | 00:45 |
| JoeCoder | the last line of my server-backup.sh had a complete command followed by no newline. | 00:46 |
| JoeCoder | so the last line was not "black" | 00:46 |
| JoeCoder | "blank" | 00:46 |
| swimfins | I think you just need to remember to do a cr after the last line | 00:47 |
| swimfins | so you have the backup script in /etc/cron.daily? | 00:47 |
| JoeCoder | yes, and it is +x | 00:47 |
| JoeCoder | there was no cr after the last line | 00:48 |
| JoeCoder | I am thinking that cron.daily is run at 10:25am ? https://gist.github.com/e3281cd38fd62dbafc7a | 00:48 |
| JoeCoder | I am wondering why that time was chosen? | 00:49 |
| swimfins | so, in that case yes, you do need the shebang at the start #!/bin/?shell? | 00:49 |
| JoeCoder | I've added that too | 00:49 |
| JoeCoder | I am about to change my time to 10:24 and see if this is run. This is not a production server (yet) | 00:50 |
| JoeCoder | unless there is a better way to test cron jobs? | 00:50 |
| swimfins | you do need to add each one to crontab | 00:52 |
| swimfins | and you can change the time from there | 00:53 |
| JoeCoder | so cron.daily is not automatic? | 00:53 |
| swimfins | no | 00:53 |
| swimfins | 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily | 00:53 |
| swimfins | will run at 4:02 | 00:53 |
| JoeCoder | then why is it an entry in the github post above? | 00:53 |
| JoeCoder | the github post above is my current /etc/crontab file | 00:54 |
| JoeCoder | I did not add any of those entries. I'm unfamiliar with the commands run, but I see /etc/cron.daily referenced. | 00:55 |
| swimfins | sorry missed that | 00:55 |
| JoeCoder | I set my time to 10:24:55 but my cron job was not run, and I do not see it referenced in /var/log/syslog | 00:55 |
| swimfins | you're running anacron | 00:55 |
| JoeCoder | I'm on ubunt 10.04; haven't modified this since install. | 00:56 |
| JoeCoder | this is a cloud server. perhaps my host (rackspace) has it modified version of ubuntu that is used? | 00:57 |
| swimfins | make sure it's at /usr/sbin/anacron | 00:57 |
| swimfins | Not sure | 00:57 |
| JoeCoder | it's not | 00:58 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: the run-parts script is what runs all the scripts in a directory, so it makes /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} work. The reason for doing it is primarily flexibility; if you really need the daily stuff to run at a different time from usual, you can change /etc/crontab as needed. But by default, /etc/cron.daily/* scripts will run daily, etc. | 00:58 |
| jmarsden | Your issue is that you named the script server-backup.sh. Name it serverbackup instead and it will run fine. | 00:58 |
| JoeCoder | there is another file in cron.daily named "man-db" dates to Mar 2 2010 and I suspect it is part of the ubuntu install. | 01:00 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: The namespaces for the scripts run-parts will accept are limited, man run-parts for the details if you really care. | 01:00 |
| JoeCoder | I'm still renaming it and seeing if it works | 01:00 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: OK, so server-backup is probably OK... maybe it is the period that is breaking it... I just know the namespace stuff is odd from past experience. | 01:00 |
| swimfins | jmarsden, the script is running /usr/sbin/anacron, not run-patrs | 01:01 |
| swimfins | run-parts | 01:01 |
| jmarsden | Wait... someone just pasted 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily above... amd I confused?? | 01:01 |
| === medberry is now known as med_out | ||
| swimfins | that was me. I didn't see the github post | 01:02 |
| JoeCoder | that was from a stackoverflow answer, as an example | 01:02 |
| jmarsden | swimfins: Why would a hosted server that is up 24x7 use a non-standard cron ??? Makes no sense. | 01:02 |
| swimfins | not sure, check out his crontab here: https://gist.github.com/e3281cd38fd62dbafc7a | 01:03 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: You can test whether run-parts likes your script by doing sudo run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily to list all th scripts it will run from that directory. | 01:04 |
| JoeCoder | renaming it to serverbackup has not fixed it. It has a shebang at the beginning and a line return at the end. grep serverbackup /var/log/syslog returns nothing | 01:04 |
| JoeCoder | run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily lists serverbackup among all the other files there | 01:04 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: Who or what edited your /etc/crontab file? | 01:05 |
| JoeCoder | it has never been edited | 01:05 |
| swimfins | jmarsden is THE MAN by the way. Fixed a problem that I was working on for days in about 10 minutes | 01:05 |
| JoeCoder | since setting up this server I have saved all modifying commands to a shell script, for reproducability. | 01:05 |
| JoeCoder | I'm just thankful for all the help I'm getting here. This is a great channel. | 01:05 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: Hmm. OK... do you have anacron installed? what does dpkg -l anacron output? | 01:05 |
| JoeCoder | I'm relatively new to linux sysadmin | 01:05 |
| * jmarsden has been doing Unix and Linux sysadmin work since 1994 :) | 01:06 | |
| JoeCoder | https://gist.github.com/0228fef1aad25bf054e0 seems it's not? | 01:06 |
| JoeCoder | strange that it's set to be used but not installed? Maybe I'll have a chat with rackspace support if this turns out to be the cause. | 01:07 |
| jmarsden | JoeCoder: OK, good. No, you don't want anacron on a server that is up 24x7 | 01:07 |
| JoeCoder | so I'll switch it to cron | 01:07 |
| jmarsden | leave it alone :) | 01:07 |
| JoeCoder | becuase the current crontab references anacron? | 01:07 |
| jmarsden | It will use anacron if it is there, if not it will use run-parts. | 01:07 |
| JoeCoder | ok | 01:07 |
| jmarsden | But swimfins said you were not using run-parts... | 01:07 |
| JoeCoder | my /etc/crontab references run-parts | 01:08 |
| jmarsden | So, run-parts can see your serverbackup script just fine. | 01:08 |
| jmarsden | Is there any problem with us running all your cron.daily scripts right now, as a test? | 01:08 |
| JoeCoder | nope. I was about to ask if I should remove the -test argument. | 01:08 |
| JoeCoder | run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.daily/serverbackup: Exec format error | 01:09 |
| JoeCoder | so there's a problem with my script | 01:09 |
| jmarsden | Aha. pastebin the script itself please :) | 01:09 |
| jmarsden | Probably an issue with the #! line | 01:09 |
| swimfins | eww, I just looked at it again, didn't notice the pipe | 01:10 |
| JoeCoder | https://gist.github.com/0228fef1aad25bf054e0 | 01:10 |
| JoeCoder | aha, there's a line return before my #! | 01:11 |
| JoeCoder | but pastebin doesn't show it (trims empty lines at start?) | 01:11 |
| jmarsden | OK, remove the empty line and retest :) | 01:11 |
| JoeCoder | seems to be working now | 01:12 |
| jmarsden | Cool :) | 01:13 |
| JoeCoder | thanks | 01:13 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 01:13 |
| KM0201 | how do you pastebin the contents of a file, from CLI? | 01:15 |
| JoeCoder | depends on what program is displaying the CLI | 01:15 |
| jmarsden | pastebinit filename | 01:15 |
| KM0201 | really? | 01:15 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 01:15 |
| jmarsden | KM or for pastebinning output from some commands, somecommand |pastebinit | 01:16 |
| JoeCoder | wow, pastebinit actually is a valid package | 01:16 |
| JoeCoder | apt-get install pastebinit | 01:16 |
| jmarsden | Of course :) | 01:16 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: yeah, i know how to do it w/ commands | 01:16 |
| KM0201 | just didn't know how to do it w/ the contents of a file | 01:16 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: well, if you know it for commands, cat file |pastebinit would also work, cat is a command ... :) | 01:16 |
| jmarsden | It's just that pastebinit filename is more efficient :) | 01:17 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 01:17 |
| KM0201 | i'll be darned, it worked | 01:18 |
| jmarsden | Did you really expect me to tell you something that *wouldn't* work? :) | 01:19 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: no.. just surprised i'd never figured that out. | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: i had tried pastebinit | /path/to/filename | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | and that was no joy. | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | didn't think the way you did it, would work | 01:21 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: next time, man pastebinit and read the man page :) man pages contain useful information... | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: yeah, but they make my head hurt. | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | i wish you could save them to a txt file, and read them that way | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | second, the man pages, often get a little to geeky for my understanding | 01:22 |
| jmarsden | Huh? man pastebinit >pastebinit.txt # if you really need it as a text file.... | 01:23 |
| KM0201 | hmm, didn't know that | 01:23 |
| jmarsden | but why do you need them as a text file? | 01:23 |
| jmarsden | Use whatever pager you prefer, you get highlighting (bold, underline, etc) that way... | 01:24 |
| jmarsden | Or use xman or similar to view them in a GUI if you really want to have them look pretty :) | 01:24 |
| jmarsden | There are *many* ways to view man pages ... stuffing them into text files seems like a very low-end choice to me on a modern PC... | 01:26 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: i just hate reading them in terminal | 01:29 |

| jmarsden | twb: Well, a RAID rebuild is a bad thing unless you specifically asked for it... and 22K mismatches doesn't sound nice, although I don't know exactly what they mean... it might have "fixed" them all? | 01:31 |
| twb | jmarsden: ubuntu systems resync raid @monthly | 01:31 |
| twb | The question is whether the mismatches are significant | 01:31 |
| jmarsden | OK, so it happened by design... If I saw something like that on a hardware raid controller I'd be worried... don't do enough with Ubuntu/Debian software RAID to know if it matters in that context, though. | 01:32 |
| twb | The host in question has write-intent bitmaps turned on, 2×RAID1 250MB HDDs | 01:33 |
| twb | I'll just lurk until an md expert wakes up, I guess | 01:33 |

| jmarsden | OK, I need to go out for a while, but will be back later. I'd check SMART and also check your backups, while waiting for that md expert to arrive :) | 01:34 |

| Bernhard | after installing ubuntu server 11.4 i get these errors. On reboot the file system /boot is corrupted. When i repair this disk with knoppix cd it says it was uncleanly unmounted. after repair it boots normal. But after a reboot i gives the same error. The error message is Cannot write bytes: pipe error. Basicly it does not unmount /boot correctly. Then i installed Debian to see if it was | 02:27 |
| Bernhard | a software issue. But the i get about a similar error. When Debian shuts down it says something like this: cannot unmount file system failed. So it seems it is some sort of same issue.. idears ? | 02:27 |
| twb | Bernhard: that information is not precise enough to isolate the fault. | 02:28 |
| Bernhard | oke let me see the exact error | 02:29 |
| twb | How was /boot "corrupt"? | 02:29 |
| Bernhard | ubuntu.. on reboot it says mountall fsck /boot [344] terminated with status 1 | 02:31 |
| Bernhard | could not write bytes : pipe error | 02:31 |
| twb | That doesn't mean it's necessarily corrupt. | 02:31 |
| twb | Exit status 1 from fsck actually means: 1 - File system errors corrected | 02:32 |
| Bernhard | after that it show about 60 times could not write bytes : pipe error on screen | 02:32 |
| twb | The pipe error output sounds like dd or something is getting its knickers in a twist | 02:33 |
| twb | It suggests there's some problem with the boot process' init scripts | 02:33 |
| twb | I speculate that what's happening is that after fsck finds and fixes an error, it tries to report that to ubuntu's crappy in-house splash code, which fails | 02:33 |
| twb | And because that fails, the entire boot process just hangs | 02:34 |
| twb | Unfortunately upstart/mountall/usplash issues are a bitch to debug, especially over the phone (or IRC). | 02:34 |
| twb | IMO your best bet at this point is to try installing LTS server | 02:35 |
| Bernhard | btw the system does not hang after that error.. i can login.. Its true i made an image with dd.. Both the source drive and target give these errors. both drives are new. But it might be that the source disk had this error earlier.. | 02:36 |
| twb | What does "you made an image with dd" mean? | 02:39 |
| twb | Maybe you did that wrong | 02:39 |
| Bernhard | i did dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb sb=4M | 02:48 |
| twb | Ah, OK | 02:49 |
| twb | That should be fine, except that grub will probably boot off sda still unless you physicall unplug it | 02:49 |
| Bernhard | <twb> when i make /boot only readeble it does not give those errors.. | 02:52 |
| twb | Bernhard: that is interesting | 02:55 |

| Stev66 | hiya | 04:00 |
| Stev66 | I've a little understanding problem with PHP error reporting. In the php.ini I have display_errors = On; and error_reporting = Off; By default I don't want to display errors. However I want to be able to switch them on by script. When I add this line to my script: error_reporting(E_ALL); i expected it to display all errors but parse errors for example got straight into a blank page. Am I not allowed to override the php.ini | 04:00 |
| Stev66 | I'm running Ubuntu 10 LTS and php 5.3.2 | 04:02 |
| twb | I don't know how, but our PHP weenie made his PHP app report errors via syslog(3). IMO this is desirable. | 04:02 |
| twb | Could be /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:error_log = syslog ? | 04:03 |
| Stev66 | yes, I'm looging the errors too but there's demand for external developers that they can also see errors while running the script. | 04:04 |
| twb | Dunno, sorry. | 04:04 |

| twb | If you want fuppes on Ubuntu you should work with those people to get it packaged. | 05:03 |
| jmarsden | elz89: Did you install fuppes from a package? If not, then doing so might well help. | 05:03 |
| twb | jmarsden: I was eliding the "some deb I found" case, because I don't consider it substantially better than "some tarball I found" -- ref. e.g. webmin | 05:04 |
| jmarsden | twb: The packages mentioned in that bug should be quite a bit better than a random tarball, they were at least aiming for Debian/Ubuntu packaging quality... | 05:05 |

| elz89 | To be fair, I am only looking at 'fuppes' because I have used it as part of FreeNAS a while ago. Can you recommend an alternative upnp media server for ubuntu server natty? | 05:34 |

| CoreStyx | hello, anybody familiar with ubuntu-server 11.04 | 10:17 |
| CoreStyx | very specific problem, and I nailed it down on the weekend. does not seem that it was already noticed in that way. It is regarding "mdadm -> RAID1 and on top LVM volume. As soon as lvm sits on top of md0, respectivly no specific file system was created on top of md0 ->udev-work throws inotfy_add_watch(6 ,/dev/md9,10) failed: no such device. | 10:20 |
| CoreStyx | This is because udev tries to add some kind of event watcher, which I can not get rid of. Does anybody knows ubuntu so deeply to give an answer to this? I googled... bug/feature...etc. but nobody saw it in this context. All I need to find out how to tell udev to leave md0 as it is, since lvm locks it and of course a watcher can not be installed anymore. | 10:24 |

| Jeeves_ | jasonmsp: There's a button on your keyboard | 11:30 |
| Jeeves_ | labeled 'F10' | 11:30 |
| Jeeves_ | :) | 11:30 |
| jasonmsp | nice.. | 11:30 |
| jasonmsp | problem is it isn't sending it through the terminal. | 11:30 |
| Pici | close htop? I just press 'q' | 11:31 |
| jasonmsp | yikes! I was so channelized on the fact that the F10 key is listed at the bottom for exit that I didn't even try q! ha. thanks! | 11:33 |
| CoreStyx | nobody here who knows? | 12:01 |
| Jeeves_ | CoreStyx: You're doing md on top of lvm? | 12:03 |

| Jeeves_ | Ah, ok | 12:05 |
| Jeeves_ | That makes more sense indeed | 12:05 |
| Jeeves_ | Sorry | 12:06 |

| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: either this afternoon, or tomorrow | 14:50 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: robbiew recommended that I come tomorrow, I think | 14:50 |
| patdk-wk | if I setup an lvm system, I set /boot as non-lvm | 14:52 |
| patdk-wk | but I am so used to using vm's now, I never use lvm on a vm | 14:52 |
| _ruben | patdk-wk: why not? | 14:53 |
| patdk-wk | just doesn't seem any use for me, and adds extra complexity | 14:53 |
| patdk-wk | if I need to make it larger, grow the vm disk size, and expand partition | 14:54 |
| patdk-wk | and the issue I mainly have with lvm, mounting that disk on another system gets to be a pain if they have the same lvm names | 14:54 |
| bernhard1 | is it possible to set up LVM for all partitions except for /boot ?? | 14:54 |

| lynxman | hallyn: hi o/ | 15:14 |
| hallyn | lynxman: i'll be slow responding, whats up? | 15:15 |
| lynxman | hallyn: I have an issue with LXC and several people here pointed me in your direction | 15:15 |
| lynxman | hallyn: got openstack + LXC running, all good except that when I try to start an instance the instance complains about lack of permissions, for example for creating dev entries | 15:15 |
| lynxman | hallyn: have you found this problem before and if so, any suggested solution path or places to look further? | 15:18 |
| hallyn | lynxman: you probably need to add whitelist entries to the devices cgroup for the container | 15:20 |
| hallyn | you can set those in the contianer config file | 15:20 |
| hallyn | (and/or in the one used at container create time) | 15:20 |
| lynxman | hallyn: cool, will look into that | 15:21 |
| zul | hallyn: libvirt though | 15:21 |
| lynxman | zul: that's true, it's libvirt | 15:21 |
| hallyn | zul: lynxman: oh! | 15:23 |
| hallyn | sorry, libvirt is not extensible like that. so you'll have to change the whitelist at run-time | 15:26 |
| lynxman | hallyn: hmm okay... so how can I do it? =) | 15:26 |
| hallyn | switch to liblx? :) | 15:27 |
| hallyn | lynxman: look at /proc/$$?cgroups for a task in the container, | 15:27 |
| hallyn | get the path for the devices cgroup, | 15:27 |
| hallyn | and then echo something like "c 1:3 a" > /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/cgroup/devices.allow | 15:28 |
| hallyn | (if youwant /dev/null access:) | 15:28 |
| hallyn | substitute b for block, and maj:minor | 15:28 |
| lynxman | hallyn: cool! | 15:29 |
| hallyn | lynxman: but talk to zul, i thought he had a patch for using lxc.sf.net with openstack | 15:30 |

| e_t_ | sw0rdfish: You can run a dozen web servers if that's what you want. However, only one can bind port 80 at a time. | 22:22 |
| sw0rdfish | I see. | 22:22 |
| sw0rdfish | can I use other ports for http purposes, e_t_ ? | 22:22 |
| e_t_ | sw0rdfish: Of course. You can run HTTP on port 22 or SSH on port 80. You can use any port number (that's not already in use on your box) between 0 and 65535, but 0 - 1023 are so-called "well known ports" and certain services are expected at those ports (http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers). | 22:26 |
