trimetaI just noticed that one of my server's hard drives threw some SMART errors a week or two ago. I'm running RAID Z2, so a failed drive isn't immediate cause for concern, and more confusingly my weekly SMART self-test on the drive in question shows no errors.01:59
trimetaI'm wondering if the specific error type might explain the discrepancy, and whether I need to replace the drive ASAP or if I should just keep a closer eye on the situation.02:00

carleenoHi :-) I'm running 12.04 server and want to automatically issue some terminal commands at startup (just before login). How do I create a script that autostarts? This is what I want to do at startup: http://www.richud.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Fluxbox_GUI_with_x11vnc_and_Xvfb       (the lines under "Doing it Separately") Thanks!03:12
qman__carleeno, simple enough, but make absolutely certain you do not run this exposed to the internet03:16
qman__it's not safe03:16
carleenowhat if i get rid of nopw and instead usepw?03:17
qman__VNC is not secure03:17
qman__only access it using a secure VPN or SSH tunnel03:18
qman__or a trusted local network03:18
carleenothat's what i was about to ask...ssh03:18
qman__just make sure you don't expose the raw VNC to the net03:18
qman__that said03:18
qman__you can create an init script, or just make a script and add it to /etc/rc.local03:18
qman__make sure your script appropriately de-escalates itself to an unprivileged user03:19
qman__since both cases run as root if you don't, which is also very unwise03:19
patdk-lapthis is why people made nx03:19
carleenook, sounds great, I've never written scripts before, I guess I can enter commands into a plain file to create a script? or is it more complex than that? and how to I de-escalate the script from root?03:20
carleenopatdk, can i use free nx to get to a xvfb?03:23
carleenofreenx* sorry03:23
qman__carleeno, more or less, make sure you have a #!/bin/sh line at the top, and then to de-escalate, use su03:24
qman__so for example, to put it in /etc/rc.local03:24
qman__su -c username /path/to/your/script.sh03:24
qman__actually03:24
qman__su -c username /path/to/your/script.sh &03:24
qman__because your script won't be smart enough to fork itself03:25
qman__/etc/rc.local must exit 0 before the rest of the system loads03:25
qman__that user should not be able to log in normally03:25
carleenoso even with the fork, that user wont be able to log in? or are you saying I should setup a user account that nobody uses for this script?03:28
qman__you should set up a user account that cannot be logged into interactively, as in, no password, no shell03:38
carleenocool, which adduser options would i use to do that, --nologin? any others?03:46
carleenoqman__: thanks for the info, it has helped me allot. have a great weekend!03:54

submanI'm trying to setup an IRC server using the instructions found here http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/?p=709 but I don't seem to be able to connect to the server.  I've gotten as far as installing the program and making sure that it is started.  On a client machine it resolves the address but says connection error17:14
