| daniel_- | somebody can help me? my log files e.g. auth.log syslog mail.log are all empty except the same files with a trailing number e.g. auth.log.1 | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| daniel_- | is this wrong? :/ | 00:06 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: a great many of my log files are also size 0, seems normal enough | 00:08 |
| qman__ | daniel_-, that just means nothing has happened that needs logging since the last time logrotate ran | 00:08 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: I think there was an update to the standard syslog rules that reduced the number of logged files, and probably logrotate doesn't know to stop making new ones... | 00:08 |
| sarnold | (though my empty wtmp is surprising..) | 00:09 |
| daniel_- | but there happened alot to auth.log, but all goes into auth.log.1 | 00:09 |
| daniel_- | I mean like sshd attempts | 00:10 |
| qman__ | daniel_-, it goes into auth.log, but nothing has happened since the last time logrotate ran | 00:11 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: the .1 version gets _new_ entries?? | 00:11 |
| qman__ | which could have been a minute ago | 00:11 |
| daniel_- | sarnold: yes the .1 gets new entries | 00:13 |
| daniel_- | all *.1 get the new entries. But I guess then its the default | 00:14 |
| mkeys | so still having this problem, ter in #udev suggest ubuntu support. :) | 00:20 |
| mkeys | (unable to enumerate usb disk at boot) | 00:20 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: if new entries are going into the .1, that is a mistake. rsyslog _should_ have closed those files after the logs rotated. Hrm. | 00:21 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: which log files are open in: sudo lsof -p `pidof rsyslogd` ? | 00:23 |
| sarnold | mkeys: some more options, you could try askubuntu.com or file a bug in launchpad (if you can be confident of which package is failing you in which way) | 00:24 |
| daniel_- | sarnold: alot of *.1 are open | 00:25 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: I'd suggest filing a bug. That's not supposed to happen. | 00:25 |
| sarnold | (perhaps someone already has filed a bug?) | 00:25 |
| daniel_- | alright! thx for your help sarnold!! | 00:26 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: in the meantime, a "kill -HUP `pidof rsyslogd`" _should_ fix those. | 00:26 |
| daniel_- | now a writing to auth.log has begun | 00:28 |
| daniel_- | *.1 are killed | 00:28 |
| daniel_- | thx man! | 00:29 |
| sarnold | daniel_-: check your logs for anything from logrotate; there _may_ be some more details in the logs | 00:29 |
| sarnold | e.g., if logrotate is confined by AppArmor and does not have capability kill, it may not have been able to alert rsyslogd about the rotated files | 00:30 |
| sarnold | (only one of many potential reasons for failure) | 00:30 |

| stgraber | hallyn: is an up to date quantal container booting for you? | 00:58 |
| hallyn | stgraber: in q i assume? | 01:02 |
| hallyn | my q laptop is over (waves) there | 01:02 |
| hallyn | get back to you in a bit | 01:02 |
| stgraber | hallyn: yeah, on q. All I'm getting at startup time are mountall Event failed errors | 01:03 |
| stgraber | I'm also getting a whole bunch of errors from upstart in dmesg | 01:05 |
| stgraber | [40355.415061] init: Failed to spawn mounted-proc main process: unable to change root directory: No such file or directory | 01:05 |
| hallyn | (wgetting) | 01:05 |
| stgraber | hallyn: hmm, looks like something with the pivot root went quite wrong here... it also wiped the content of my laptops' /tmp at startup... rebooting | 01:08 |
| hallyn | hooooly cow | 01:09 |
| hallyn | hm mine failed on debootstrap. what on earth? | 01:09 |
| hallyn | oh, bad network | 01:10 |
| stgraber | hallyn: found the issue, it's totally my fault | 01:12 |
| stgraber | hallyn: I'm using lxc from staging which doesn't have a default lxc config (doesn't read /etc/lxc/lxc.conf) which means my container didn't have any networking config | 01:13 |
| stgraber | which explains why mountall failed (well, kinda) | 01:13 |
| stgraber | then I turned off apparmor to see if that was the issue and that triggered the rest of the mess | 01:13 |
| * stgraber really needs to push that lxc-create change upstream and get a default lxc.conf implemented there too, not sure all of our users could debug that kind of weird mess :) | 01:14 | |
| hallyn | defualt lxc.conf upstream - still not sure how we can swing that | 01:14 |
| hallyn | unless we default to an empty netns | 01:14 |
| hallyn | which wouldn't be that bad i guess | 01:14 |
| hallyn | we could also add a script "lxc-add-dev brX -n containerX" to create a new veth pair, hook one end up on bridge brX, and pass the other into the named containerX | 01:15 |
| stgraber | I think we should ship a default lxc.conf that includes a bit of documentation as comments, ensures that a veth pair is setup but simply not bridged to anything | 01:16 |
| stgraber | that way you get your eth0, the container is happy and you don can always bridge it to whatever you want later on | 01:17 |
| hallyn | stgraber: just to be sure, q container started fine for me in q just now :) | 01:46 |
| stgraber | hallyn: good to know that the distro package is fine and it's indeed just my daily build that's missing some bits | 01:50 |
| hallyn | stgraber: so the kernel seems to have built fine in ppa:serge-hallyn/lxc-natty. i haven't tested it for the netns leak yet | 01:55 |

| linocisco | SpamapS, yes. I read it already | 05:16 |
| === n0ts_off is now known as n0ts | ||
| SpamapS | linocisco: ok, so, whats your question? | 05:17 |
| linocisco | SpamapS, how to archive emails in portable readable format without needing email clients? | 05:18 |
| sarnold | is Maildir an option? easy, piece of cake, downside is it may eat too many inodes if you've got tons of tiny mails | 05:18 |
| linocisco | SpamapS, in novell groupwise, there is ArchiveToGo software , which can download emails and burn on CD or USB stick into readable format. | 05:19 |
| linocisco | sarnold, what are inodes? what does this mean? | 05:19 |
| sarnold | mbox is another option that might be tolerable, it's easily human-readable, but may lead to huge files if you're not careful | 05:19 |
| linocisco | sarnold, mbox is only text only one single file as far as I learnt | 05:19 |
| sarnold | linocisco: an 'inode' is the basic unit of unix filesystem storage. every file has an inode. | 05:19 |
| sarnold | linocisco: indeed, that's what makes mbox so awesome. | 05:19 |
| SpamapS | linocisco: they're just ways to store email on disk | 05:20 |
| SpamapS | linocisco: I suspect you want a comprehensive system.. | 05:20 |
| sarnold | linocisco: different filesystems can be optimized for different tasks; you may have fewer inodes if you expect your filesystem to contain nothing but gigabyte-sized files, you may have more inodes if you expect it to contain many small files. | 05:21 |
| linocisco | sarnold, so which could be better option to archive and how to ? Actually administrator should delete email accounts of transfered staff after archiving and giving him a copy. At another duty station, another administer will create a new email account for him. | 05:22 |
| linocisco | sarnold, that is what my org is doing not to keep a person's email for so long. I dont know what is more intelligent idea | 05:23 |
| sarnold | linocisco: if you're just keeping all your mail in spool files (a little odd, since you don't get folders that way, but the example is easy) then you just archive /var/spool/mail/sarnold and move on. If the person does have folders, it'll typically be stored in e.g. ~sarnold/Maildir or ~sarnold/Mail or some similar place. tar and rm as you see fit. | 05:23 |
| sarnold | linocisco: if you want to intentionally throw away mail, that takes a bit more effort. Probably a weekly / monthly cronjob run of procmail with appropriate rules over the mailboxes in question could do it. That feels pretty ugly though. | 05:25 |
| linocisco | SpamapS, in your point of view, what should be comprehensive system in my case? | 05:25 |
| linocisco | sarnold, that means email policy. | 05:25 |
| SpamapS | linocisco: GroupWise is.. massive. So. something else massive. Zimbra maybe. | 05:25 |
| linocisco | SpamapS, groupwise has calendar sharing and other intelligent business options. so alternative is Zimbra to be used with ubuntu mail server? | 05:27 |
| SpamapS | linocisco: sure, take a look | 05:28 |
| * SpamapS goes afk | 05:28 | |
| linocisco | SpamapS, any other alternatives else? | 05:28 |
| sarnold | linocisco: if you want an MS Exchange-alike, look at these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-Xchange | 05:29 |
| linocisco | sarnold, actually I want to hear success stories on what Linux admins are doing on mail servers in their enterprise. I tried to find on full cycle magazines and whitepapers on ubuntu .com . I found a few | 05:31 |
| linocisco | sarnold, so that I can learn their tips and tools in stories like their night mare headache. reading documents like wiki is just boring. | 05:32 |
| sarnold | linocisco: heh, I know the feeling. | 05:32 |
| sarnold | linocisco: everyone I know runs something like postfix+dovecot or postfix+uw-imapd, except for one guy who runs postfix+powermail (downloads.powerdns.com/documentation/powermail/html/) | 05:34 |
| sarnold | linocisco: I don't know anyone who runs email for 100K+ user organizations though, so... | 05:34 |
| linocisco | sarnold, thanks anyway | 05:35 |

| smb | Daviey, Yeah I thought so too when doing the merge at the beginning of the cycle. zul kept them in. And I would not change that right now. It should not matter really | 08:49 |
| smb | We should drop those for R | 08:49 |
| Daviey | true | 08:50 |
| Daviey | ok | 08:50 |
| Daviey | smb: so i updated changelog to point to quantal, and updated the maintainr | 08:51 |
| smb | Daviey, Ok, yeah, quantal was my fault and the maintainer something that was always "wrong" before | 08:52 |

| va | u might need some additional trick | 12:10 |
| Guest4020 | That would be ? | 12:10 |
| Guest4020 | But actually it is one the same machine, I'm just curious :o | 12:11 |
| va | Guest4020: hm, ye u probably wouldnt even want to do this NAT if the IP was on the same machine idk why i thought about it, god confused with tricks myself | 12:13 |

| smb | SpamapS, stgraber, Ok, so the v2 test kernel is up on people. If you got time I'd be quite interested to see how that goes. :) | 16:59 |
| hallyn | stgraber: so were you going to file thtat as a bug against grub? | 16:59 |
| hallyn | i'm wondering whether we do a simple 'is-container' check at top of update-grub, or check deeper inside grub whether we have write access to the root dev | 17:00 |
| stgraber | hallyn: I vaguely remember smoser or SpamapS mentioning that bug on #ubuntu-devel yesterday, maybe they already have a bug report for it somewhere | 17:01 |
| stgraber | smb: thanks, will update and reboot soon | 17:01 |
| smoser | i did not mention such a hting. but that would be nice. | 17:01 |
| hallyn | stgraber: i dont' think so. SpamapS said it was on his todo | 17:01 |
| SpamapS | It was on my todo to report it as a bug and suggest a patch to cjwatson | 17:02 |
| SpamapS | and still is actually | 17:02 |
| stgraber | hallyn: as LXC doesn't really support full disks but instead only partitions, I guess it's fine to just exit 0 if is-container returns 0 | 17:02 |
| smoser | i'd say that supporting partitions has nothing to do with it. | 17:04 |
| hallyn | stgraber: i do fear that eventually we'll find there are cases where we want to support it, but for now it seems best | 17:04 |
| hallyn | i'll whip up a patch this afternoon | 17:04 |
| smoser | even if it worked on a partition it isn't going to have an affect | 17:04 |

| zul | adam_g: the upgrade or just everything? | 19:03 |
| adam_g | zul: the removal of the '--conf' option from calls to tgt in nova-volume breaks nova-volume | 19:05 |
| zul | adam_g: looks like we are going to have to carry at patch | 19:06 |
| zul | er....a patch | 19:06 |
| adam_g | zul: ? | 19:06 |
| zul | blah....*grumble* *grumble* | 19:06 |
| adam_g | zul: specifying --conf causes other bugs, which is why it was removed | 19:06 |
| adam_g | zul: the real problem is chaning the 'include' statements in tgt's config. includes can only be specified in /etc/tgt/targets.conf, not from within included files in /etc/tgt/conf.d/ | 19:07 |
| adam_g | so dropping nova_tgt in /etc/tgt/conf.d/ to inclue /var/lib/nova/volumes/ doesn't work, and never really did :| | 19:07 |
| zul | adam_g: but i have been running fine with it | 19:08 |
| adam_g | zul: no, you ahave never been using it. if --conf is specified to tgt-admin, /etc/tgt/targets.conf is never even consulted | 19:09 |
| zul | i havent | 19:09 |

| SpamapS | hrm | 19:18 |
| SpamapS | actually thats daft | 19:18 |

| Poapfel | my sysadmin gave me a ipv6 adress and a ipv6 gateway how do I use these to things to enable ipv6 on this server? | 19:29 |
| Poapfel | (I was able to use ipv6 for a couple of minutes but after closing my ssh session it was disable or so) | 19:29 |
| Poapfel | (by editing /etc/network/interface) | 19:30 |
| === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash | ||
| Jeeves_ | Poapfel: Just configure another ethX | 19:33 |
| Jeeves_ | Instead of 'static inet', you configure it as 'static inet6' | 19:34 |
| Poapfel | I did that... | 19:35 |
| Poapfel | Jeeves_: this is what my /etc/network/interfaces looks like http://paste42.de/4183/ | 19:37 |
| Jeeves_ | Your gateway is wrong | 19:37 |
| Jeeves_ | That should be just an address | 19:38 |
| Poapfel | what is with this /48? | 19:38 |
| Jeeves_ | Also, it suggests that you are in a /48, not a /64 | 19:38 |
| Jeeves_ | That's your netmask | 19:38 |
| Poapfel | but the address had a /64 at the end | 19:38 |
| Poapfel | therefore I thought the netmask is 64 | 19:38 |
| Poapfel | and not not 48 | 19:39 |
| Poapfel | should I change the address to xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:xx:0:0:0/64? | 19:39 |
| Poapfel | and the netmask to 48? | 19:39 |
| hallyn | SpamapS: I'm fine with wahtever :) if you come up with something good, could you post it in the bug? | 19:40 |
| Jeeves_ | Poapfel: What did your admin tell you? | 19:41 |
| hallyn | at this point I'm waiting for cjwatson input :) | 19:41 |
| maswan | hm. I'm not sure I've done a static gw in v6 actually. but I would tihnk that that was just an IP, not an IP with netmask | 19:42 |
| maswan | Poapfel: typically the adress ends in something not 0 | 19:43 |
| maswan | like 2001:6b0:e:2018::163 | 19:43 |
| DataCruncher | I'm running a minecraft server on Ubuntu Server. I am remotely connected with putty. I would like to be able to exit putty without shutting down the server. Is there any way to do that? | 19:44 |
| maswan | and gateway should just be the ::1 stuff, no /whatever | 19:44 |
| maswan | I think | 19:44 |
| Jeeves_ | Indeed | 19:44 |
| Jeeves_ | Just an address | 19:44 |
| Jeeves_ | the same for 'address' | 19:44 |
| maswan | netmask goes in the netmask field in network/interfaces | 19:44 |
| Jeeves_ | THe netmask is only mentioned in 'netmask' :) | 19:44 |
| DataCruncher | Anyone? | 19:44 |
| maswan | which you already have there | 19:45 |
| Jeeves_ | Kinda makes sense! :) | 19:45 |
| maswan | DataCruncher: start it inside screen(1) | 19:45 |
| Jeeves_ | DataCruncher: screen | 19:45 |
| Poapfel | hm | 19:45 |
| Poapfel | I am going to change the netmask to 48 | 19:45 |
| Poapfel | and to be more specific my sysadmin gave me the following two informations(without any comments): | 19:46 |
| Poapfel | 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44:0:0:0/64 | 19:46 |
| maswan | Poapfel: Almost all the time the netmask is going to be 64 on ipv6 | 19:46 |
| Poapfel | GW: 2A00:12C0:1015::1/48 | 19:46 |
| Poapfel | I guess the first one is the adress and the second on is the gateway, right? | 19:46 |
| maswan | ok, that seems to be a network definition for router setup | 19:46 |
| DataCruncher | Maswan/jeeves: I'm confused, how would I do that? | 19:47 |
| DataCruncher | And what exactly does it do? | 19:47 |
| Poapfel | maswan: well... | 19:47 |
| maswan | DataCruncher: first you start screen, then you get a new shell inside that and then you can start the minecraft server process inside there. then you can detatch screen by hitting ctrl-a d and logout. later you can login and use "screen -x" to re-attach to the running server | 19:47 |
| Poapfel | it is still a ipv6 address then, isn't it? | 19:48 |
| maswan | yeah | 19:48 |
| Poapfel | hm | 19:48 |
| maswan | well, 2A00:12C0:1015::1 is an ipv6 adress | 19:48 |
| maswan | 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44:0:0:0 is a network, you have to choose an IP inside of that | 19:48 |
| maswan | like 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44::5 | 19:49 |
| Poapfel | oh | 19:49 |
| Poapfel | but I thought that 2A00:12C0:1015::1 is my gateway | 19:50 |
| * Poapfel is a total noob when it comes to networking | 19:50 | |
| maswan | yeah, that's what he said it was | 19:50 |
| maswan | but I don't really understand that bit either, since usually you need the gateway to be inside your network | 19:51 |
| Poapfel | maswan: I am pretty much confused now... | 19:51 |
| Poapfel | what should I enter as a ip adress now? | 19:52 |
| maswan | Poapfel: yeah, so am I. could that be instructions for setting up a router for a whole subnet? | 19:52 |
| Poapfel | maswan: no, I don't think so | 19:52 |
| maswan | Poapfel: I'm pretty confused at the instructions too then. :/ | 19:53 |
| Poapfel | :( | 19:53 |
| maswan | and I've done ipv6 admin on ubuntu for a few years now | 19:53 |
| Poapfel | hm | 19:53 |
| Poapfel | well...it is a kvm based vserver which is part of a big data center, but I don't know if this informations matters | 19:53 |
| Poapfel | (probably it doesn't) | 19:54 |
| maswan | you could try choosing an IP in 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44::, like 5. and try the gateway 2A00:12C0:1015::1 and readjust the netmask to 48 and see how that works | 19:54 |
| maswan | because that's confusing, a network has a mask, not an IP. and the gw is just an IP | 19:54 |
| === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert | ||
| Jeeves_ | maswan: You disappoint me :) | 19:57 |
| Jeeves_ | 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44:: is just as much an ip as 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44::1 | 19:58 |
| Poapfel | Jeeves_: so is 2a00:12c0:1015:100:44::1 my ip? | 19:59 |
| Jeeves_ | Poapfel: yes, possibly | 20:00 |
| Jeeves_ | But, the gateway-address you've got is outside the /64 you're configuring | 20:00 |
| Poapfel | hm? | 20:00 |
| Jeeves_ | Poapfel: Your /64 network starts at 2a00:12c0:1015:0100:0000:0000:0000:0000 en ends at 2a00:12c0:1015:0100:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff | 20:01 |
| Jeeves_ | Your gateway is at 2A00:12C0:1015:0000:0000:0000:0000:1 | 20:02 |
| maswan | Jeeves_: wouldn't the network adress be a bad idea for a host adress in ipv6 still? | 20:02 |
| Jeeves_ | Which you cannot reach from 2a00:12c0:1015:100:: | 20:02 |
| Jeeves_ | maswan: ipv6 doesn't have network or broadcastaddresses | 20:02 |
| maswan | Jeeves_: ah | 20:02 |
| Jeeves_ | link-local | 20:03 |
| Poapfel | btw: what is the correct way to reload the /etc/network/interfaces configuration /etc/init.d/networking restart seems to be deprecated | 20:05 |
| DataCruncher | maswan: Just got it working, thank's for the help. | 20:05 |
| Poapfel | besides I always get the error "RTNETLINK answers: File exists. Failed to bring up eth0." | 20:05 |
| hallyn | stgraber: smb: you know, in the end eth0 is just a nic like any other - i wonder if the dnsmasq preventing clean shutdown bug is actually also to do with routes not being cleaned out at shutdown | 20:11 |

| stgraber | hallyn: well, the problem is that we can't really know what architectures are supported by the running kernel | 21:01 |
| stgraber | hallyn: at least not in an easily parsable form for a bash script | 21:01 |
| stgraber | hallyn: so the code simply always call qemu-debootstrap if it's installed and deboostrap if it's not | 21:01 |
| stgraber | so the actual failure to mount is probably in debootstrap's code | 21:02 |
| hallyn | stgraber: no, it's during the 'chroot $container apt-get update' | 21:05 |
| hallyn | (i believe) | 21:05 |
| hallyn | so actually, maybe it's just because qemu-arm's dependencies are no longer in our path? | 21:05 |
| stgraber | hallyn: that's surprising, it should fail way before that... | 21:05 |
| stgraber | hallyn: it could happen if you have a container in the cache but qemu-user-static isn't installed anymore | 21:06 |
| stgraber | then there isn't much we can do really... | 21:06 |
| hallyn | not sure what you mean | 21:06 |
| stgraber | you could get that kind of failure if you do: | 21:06 |
| hallyn | what i'm saying is it works with qemu-user-static but not qemu-user, | 21:06 |
| stgraber | lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 -- -r precise -a armhf | 21:07 |
| stgraber | apt-get remove --purge qemu-user-static | 21:07 |
| stgraber | lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p2 -- -r precise -a armhf | 21:07 |
| hallyn | so i guess it has to do with kernel tries to fire off qemu-armel in the container's namespace, but does'nt find the libs | 21:07 |
| stgraber | as p2 will copy from cache but can't execute as the binfmt handler is no longer there | 21:07 |
| hallyn | yeah that would happen too... doesn't seem any wors than the original reported case | 21:07 |

| xymantec | Hi is anyone around :) | 22:56 |
| sarnold | irc tends to work better if you just ask :) | 22:57 |
| xymantec | I am having problems setting up a damn cron job... I have a lamp server (uOS 12.04.1) with php5-cli installed | 22:57 |
| xymantec | SERVER API = apache | 22:57 |
| xymantec | i "sudo vim /etc/cron.hourly" | 22:58 |
| xymantec | created a i.sh file | 22:58 |
| xymantec | inserted * * * * * php /var/www/cron/t.php | 22:59 |
| xymantec | and saved file, but I it looks like its not working. I did do research and have come to the conclusing that i need to include the path to php binary which is typically /usr/local/bin | 23:00 |
| xymantec | *conclusion | 23:00 |
| sarnold | hopefully not /usr/local/bin/php, but /usr/bin/php -- check 'which php' for details there | 23:00 |
| xymantec | my question is how do I include this path, do i include in the i.sh or the actually php script? and how to i include it | 23:00 |
| sarnold | but you've typed t.php and i.sh so far -- which are you running? | 23:01 |
| xymantec | i.sh is the shell script inside cron.hourly folder | 23:01 |
| xymantec | t.php is the script i want to run on a cron cycle | 23:01 |
| zul | adam_g: already have | 23:02 |
| xymantec | its /usr/bin/php | 23:06 |
| xymantec | do i put that in my shell script of in my php script? | 23:06 |
| xymantec | *or | 23:06 |
| sarnold | xymantec: I would. Most cron problems come from improperly specified paths | 23:07 |
| sarnold | xymantec: though it just strikes me; if you're using cron.hourly, you don't need the * * * * * time specifcation | 23:07 |
| sarnold | look at cron.daily or something for inspiration :) | 23:07 |
| sarnold | you only need the time specification for the "main" crontabs, not the "helper" crontabs | 23:07 |
| sarnold | (I hope that makes sense) | 23:07 |
| xymantec | gotcha well i really wanted to use it ever hour, but for test purposed i have it clocked at every minute ;) | 23:08 |
| sarnold | well, the thing is, you've got a syntax error in your file :) | 23:08 |
| xymantec | hey since I have you helping, can you answer this. i tried using sudo crontab -e and it open up a default file, the problem is i could never figure out how to save it. | 23:08 |
| xymantec | which file? | 23:09 |
| xymantec | the shell script? | 23:09 |
| sarnold | xymantec: depends on which text editor it started. if it started vi, use <esc>:wq to save and exit | 23:09 |
| sarnold | if it started something else, you'll have to figure out how to drive taht other editors | 23:09 |
| xymantec | how to i setup the system default editor, because i think that part of the problem | 23:09 |
| xymantec | i installed vim-nox but for some reason it always uses some other crappy editor | 23:10 |
| sarnold | xymantec: I think I uninstalled nano or whatever just to get the /etc/alternatives/ to use vim always | 23:11 |
| xymantec | I am assuming the correct syntax inside my shell script should be '* * * * * usr/bin/php x/path/phpscript.php '? | 23:11 |
| sarnold | forget those ***** | 23:12 |
| xymantec | i understand you dont want me to have those but for testing purposes (every minute) is it ok to leave them on temporarily? | 23:14 |
| xymantec | I just want to make sure the script works | 23:15 |
| xymantec | script => cron | 23:15 |
| sarnold | xymantec: it's not a matter of testing | 23:15 |
| sarnold | if you want them in every minute, then put it into the /etc/crontab file directly | 23:15 |
| sarnold | if you want it every hour, take them out, and put it into the /etc/cron.hourly file :) | 23:16 |
| xymantec | ok let me try sudoing that | 23:16 |
| xymantec | lol ok | 23:16 |
| xymantec | ok wrote to main crontab | 23:21 |
| xymantec | do i need to restart cron service or do i just restart apache? | 23:22 |
| xymantec | i guess ill see in a min if it works! :D | 23:22 |
| xymantec | YES it works | 23:22 |
| xymantec | sweet thanks a mil sarnold :) | 23:23 |
| xymantec | i can now go put ice on my forhead...(bangin my head against my desk lol) | 23:24 |
| sarnold | xymantec: woo :) | 23:24 |
