bigcalmI've just managed to ssh into it from another one of our cloud servers10:06
bigcalmNow trying to ssh out of the server10:07
bigcalmYeah, can't ssh out10:07
bigcalmSo the local network is working10:08
bigcalmLooking at /sbin/ifconfig, the public ip address is up on eth010:08
bigcalmIs it ifup and ifdown to tinker with an interface?10:09
MooDoowhat flavour?  centos?10:10
MooDooubuntu?10:11
foobarryservice network restart if you have ilom access.10:11
bigcalmMooDoo: Debian something10:13
bigcalmI've down ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 - still not accessable externally10:13
bigcalmAbout to reboot and then get on to Rackspace support10:14
bigcalmApparently this has happened before10:14

MooDooI blame AlanBell10:23
brobostigonmush, oh dear.10:23
brobostigonlol10:23
bigcalmRebooting the cloud server has fixed it10:26
bigcalmThis happening once might be dismissed. But twice in 3 days isn't good10:26
bigcalmMooDoo & MartijnVdS: I promised SuperMatt that I wouldn't talk to him about RS ;)10:27
bigcalmOh, in case this is of interest to anybody who has missed our so far...10:27

bigcalmDoes anybody have a very simple script to check a website is accessible and email when it isn't?11:27
diploI use Nagios to monitor ours, but probably had something in the past11:27
diploCould use a simple bash to telnet to 80 and mail on fail ? or wget or something along those lines11:28
bigcalmdiplo: that's what I was thinking. I don't have time to set up full monitoring. Just need something simple :)11:28
bigcalmhttp://www.howtoforge.com/simple-bash-script-to-monitor-your-webserver-remotely-on-different-ports for example11:29
diploPretty much what I was thinking in my head, albeit not so complex11:30
diplo:P11:30
bigcalmIt does look a tiny bit ott11:31
diploDon't RS offer some sort of monitoring ? Sure bitfolk had some nagios stuff11:31
bigcalmAt a cost, sure11:31
diploWell you could remove half the code and just have http11:31
bigcalmYep11:31
diploI think I got fedup maintaining different scripts and installed nagios from repos and had a basic setup 20 mins later11:32
diploAnd it's advanced since then11:32
davmor2bigcalm: you could use selenium simple test and python and cron I gues11:38
davmor2s11:38
bigcalmTest in place, back to work I go11:42
DJonesHmmh, searching on google for a information about medical relapses brings up "Where to buy viagra in Kenya".... Seems an odd link11:57

diddledanmaps|wrk: alternatively http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/19/full_disclosure_closes/20:24
maps|wrkjust read - what was it? a list - how do you use lists? i come across them for various google searches linux related.20:27
maps|wrkbut like how would you stay on top of it? or do you just have to know to check the list20:27
diddledanit's an email mailing list - you subscribe to the list and it emails you whenever anyone emails the list address20:30
diddledanwhatever is sent to the mailing list email address is copied to each subscriber20:31
daftykinsthey always seemed like a good way to get very frustrated, to me XD20:32
maps|wrkah but if you subscribed to a busy list wouldnt u get loads of emails?20:32
diddledanbingo20:33
maps|wrkheh20:33
diddledanmost mailing list software can allow the subscriber to choose between email-for-email or daily-digest20:33
diddledanor turn off delivery altogether20:33
diddledanfor further reading try ezmlm, mailman or majordomo - three different opensource mailing list manager software20:35
