| histo | z1haze1: you can use the --newer option of tar | 00:11 |
| z1haze1 | i see that but it requires manual input of a date | 00:12 |

| z1haze1 | how would i do that on something automated | 00:14 |
| z1haze1 | the modified dates need to me independent per file | 00:14 |

| Monotoko | dkorras1 - wait in #ubuntu for someone to help - #ubuntu-server is a bad place for desktop support | 00:15 |
| dkorras1 | Monotoko, it' | 00:15 |

| Monotoko | my mistake... sorry I saw the same question in #ubuntu too | 00:16 |
| SierraAR | Using ufw, if I want to allow a specific IP address through a specific port, the correct command would be this correct? sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.11 to 1234 | 00:16 |
| z1haze2 | anything youd change on that? | 00:17 |
| Monotoko | SierraAR - hm that doesn't look right to me, hang on | 00:17 |
| Monotoko | SierraAR: allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.11 to any port 1234 | 00:18 |
| SierraAR | What does the proto part mean? | 00:19 |
| Monotoko | SierraAR - protocol... usually it defaults to TCP | 00:19 |
| SierraAR | Ah | 00:19 |
| Monotoko | but I like to specify it | 00:19 |
| Monotoko | I'm working on something similar to ufw for CentOS | 00:19 |

| z1haze2 | what is this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7718933/ | 00:27 |
| z1haze2 | can someone tell me whats wrong with this shell script please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7718912/ | 00:28 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - two things | 00:29 |
| Monotoko | you're using magic quotes, the ones that go to the side | 00:29 |
| Monotoko | rather than the regular " | 00:29 |
| Monotoko | and you don't have a / on the end of your directory name | 00:29 |
| z1haze2 | ok | 00:30 |
| z1haze2 | i copied from ftp the directory maybe thats why | 00:30 |
| z1haze2 | and is the trailing / needed if iwant to backup the entire contents of Region | 00:31 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - you'll need a / because if you're putting them together for the tar command it'll just like like "/home/whateverfilename.tar" rather than "/home/whatever/filename.tar" | 00:31 |
| z1haze2 | oh i gotcha | 00:31 |
| z1haze2 | well i changed that and still this weird invalid option | 00:31 |
| z1haze2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7718933/ | 00:32 |
| z1haze2 | its like a strange block | 00:32 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2, that'll be your funny quotation marks | 00:32 |
| Monotoko | did you change those to regular ascii " ? | 00:32 |
| z1haze2 | i changed them to normal ones | 00:32 |
| Monotoko | paste the script again? | 00:32 |
| === tsimpson is now known as lubotu2 | ||
| z1haze2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7718955/ | 00:33 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - I can't see anything that looks particularly funny in there, but obviously bash is tripping over something... can you put it on pastebin too? | 00:34 |
| z1haze2 | sure | 00:34 |
| z1haze2 | how come sometimes i have to type bash in my ommand to run shell scripts | 00:35 |
| z1haze2 | but sometimes i dont | 00:35 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - I guess you're using UTF-8... do you mind me asking what your native language is? | 00:35 |
| z1haze2 | im american | 00:35 |
| Monotoko | and it all depends on whether the file has an executable bit (chmod +x_ | 00:35 |

| Monotoko | ah... so you're using the standard American keyboard? | 00:35 |

| z1haze2 | i did* | 00:36 |
| z1haze2 | should i just paste it into notepad and change the ancii or somethingh | 00:36 |

| Monotoko | sorry - they're really annoying me now, not sure who would DDoS freenode of all places | 00:38 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - my advice would be to try to save it as ascii | 00:39 |
| Monotoko | worst that can happen is you have to retype it | 00:39 |
| histo | well I filter joins, parts, quits, and nicks so I can't see all that. | 00:39 |

| histo | z1haze2: also you may want preserve as a tar option in your script. | 00:41 |
| histo | z1haze2: like --preserve-permissions since youdon't appear to be using -p | 00:42 |
| z1haze2 | ok what now, how do i preserve the same permissions | 00:42 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - you'll also want a -- | 00:42 |
| Monotoko | with create etc | 00:42 |
| z1haze2 | and gzip and filename? | 00:42 |
| Monotoko | yeah | 00:42 |
| Monotoko | because those are the long ways of saying -czf | 00:43 |
| histo | z1haze2: your --create --blah could be -czpf instead | 00:43 |
| z1haze2 | alright | 00:43 |
| histo | z1haze2: those are just the long way... | 00:43 |
| Monotoko | sorry, I just cracked open my manual now, didn't see you were using one - instead of two :P | 00:43 |
| z1haze2 | i see | 00:43 |
| histo | z1haze2: if you man tar you could see all the options if your curious later | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | ok i have it almost ready | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | except the -f | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | is that for filename? | 00:44 |
| Monotoko | yeah | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | how would i write it? | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | -czpf=$DESTDIR$FILENAME $SRCDIR | 00:44 |
| z1haze2 | ? | 00:44 |
| Monotoko | -czpf filename | 00:44 |
| Monotoko | no = | 00:45 |
| z1haze2 | oh ok | 00:45 |
| z1haze2 | it will just know | 00:45 |
| Monotoko | tar is quite old... it knows what comes after is the filename | 00:45 |
| Monotoko | much like bash | 00:45 |
| z1haze2 | i ran it as a test | 00:45 |
| z1haze2 | and got tar: Removing leading `/' from member names | 00:45 |
| Monotoko | don't worry | 00:46 |
| Monotoko | that should be okay | 00:46 |
| Monotoko | you might want to echo the variables out | 00:46 |
| Monotoko | to see what it's removing from where | 00:46 |
| z1haze2 | ok it worked i got what i needed | 00:46 |
| z1haze2 | now the automate it every hour WHEN the server is running the process | 00:46 |
| z1haze2 | and i really have no idea how to do that | 00:46 |
| z1haze2 | i did get the crontab thing tho | 00:46 |
| z1haze2 | histo: i ran 0 * * * * sudo /home/z1haze/7dtdPVEbackups.sh in the crontab | 00:48 |
| z1haze2 | but that do it hourly right? | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - don't know if histo will have d/ced | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | but yeah | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | that will work | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | however | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | you'll want to su to root | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | and add it to root's crontab | 00:48 |
| Monotoko | rather than your own | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | i did | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | oh wait | 00:49 |
| Monotoko | you don't technically need sudo then | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | there is not root | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | i have root disabled | 00:49 |
| Monotoko | you should be able to run "sudo -i" | 00:49 |
| Monotoko | which should give you a root prompt | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | oh ok | 00:49 |
| z1haze2 | so enter that enter roots contrab? | 00:49 |
| Monotoko | yeah | 00:50 |
| Monotoko | the reason for that | 00:50 |
| Monotoko | is sudo asks for your password | 00:50 |
| Monotoko | and obviously you won't be around to enter it ;) | 00:50 |
| z1haze2 | oh dur i didnt think that | 00:50 |
| z1haze2 | weird | 00:50 |
| z1haze2 | i just checked the roots crontab | 00:50 |
| z1haze2 | and thats what i was already using | 00:50 |
| z1haze2 | maybe cause i did sudo crontab -e? | 00:50 |
| Monotoko | ah yeah, that would make sense | 00:50 |
| Monotoko | just drop sudo from the command in crontab then | 00:51 |
| z1haze2 | how do i get back to my name? just su myname? | 00:51 |
| Monotoko | "exit" | 00:51 |
| z1haze2 | cool | 00:51 |
| z1haze2 | ok i dunno if u were around for the earlier discussion, this whole idea is for backing up region files for a game | 00:51 |
| z1haze2 | but the gasme is still in alpha so there are like no server commands or any sort of administration system | 00:52 |
| z1haze2 | my hope is to just make these backups, then if someone gets their base broken into i can find the time and just roll back the region files for that area | 00:52 |
| Monotoko | I don't think I will have been... and yeah, that should work | 00:52 |
| z1haze2 | but theres complications now | 00:52 |
| z1haze2 | 1, this crontab will run regardless whether the server is online or not.. which is gonna just waste space | 00:53 |
| z1haze2 | secondly, is there away to only backup new and files modified like after the last backup | 00:53 |
| z1haze2 | if that makes any sense | 00:53 |
| z1haze2 | like say only region 2.1 file was modified since the last backup, we dont need to backup all 100 files, we just need to backup that 1 | 00:54 |
| Monotoko | hm... for 2, I'd look into rsync | 00:54 |
| Monotoko | so you'd rsync the files from [here] to [there] then tar them up [there] (or not tar them up... entirely depends how big they are) | 00:55 |
| Monotoko | for 1... how do you mean "online"? | 00:55 |
| z1haze2 | well its a gameserver, so the process isnt always online | 00:56 |
| z1haze2 | sometimes i take it down for maint, or just if i want to lave it down for the weekend to promote something else, | 00:56 |
| Monotoko | well... is there any way you can add a check into the script? | 00:56 |
| z1haze2 | thats what i was kinda asking u, i didnt know if there was a way to add a logic statement to check processes | 00:56 |
| Monotoko | not sure about processes in bash scripts... | 00:57 |
| z1haze2 | like if (process=running){do backup}else{do nothing | 00:57 |
| Monotoko | but you could create a file | 00:57 |
| Monotoko | when the script is running | 00:57 |
| Monotoko | ah! | 00:58 |
| Monotoko | I've found something nice | 00:58 |
| z1haze2 | yay | 00:58 |
| Monotoko | http://pastebin.com/yPG98Tq3 | 00:58 |
| z1haze2 | hmm what is this for | 00:59 |
| Monotoko | of course it all depends on what your service is called... if it's a web game, you might put it into maint mode but Apache might still be running | 00:59 |
| z1haze2 | i have a script that will check the status | 01:00 |
| Monotoko | can you pastebin that script? | 01:00 |
| z1haze2 | sur 1 sec | 01:01 |
| histo | Monotoko: you'd have to pass the service as an argument | 01:01 |
| histo | ps with grep would probably be better | 01:01 |
| histo | z1haze2: how do you launch the game server? | 01:02 |
| z1haze2 | how do i select all in putty | 01:02 |
| z1haze2 | with a shell script | 01:02 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - just run your mouse over it | 01:02 |
| histo | z1haze2: what server is it? | 01:02 |
| z1haze2 | 7days to die | 01:02 |

| z1haze2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7719036/ | 01:02 |
| histo | z1haze2: what does the script call when it runs? | 01:02 |
| z1haze2 | ^ shell script | 01:03 |
| z1haze2 | prolly need common too | 01:03 |
| z1haze2 | 1 sec | 01:03 |
| histo | z1haze2: yeah | 01:04 |
| histo | paste common.h | 01:04 |
| z1haze2 | ok this script is more than i can select in 1 window | 01:04 |
| z1haze2 | is there a way to select all text even when its out of site | 01:04 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2, two secs | 01:04 |
| z1haze2 | sight* | 01:04 |
| Monotoko | let me get you something | 01:04 |
| Monotoko | I've been using this for a while | 01:04 |
| histo | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /usr/local/lib/7dtd/common.sh | 01:04 |
| z1haze2 | i have pastebinit | 01:04 |
| z1haze2 | didnt even think of it | 01:04 |
| Monotoko | does that still work> | 01:05 |
| Monotoko | it didn't last time I tried it | 01:05 |
| Monotoko | :( | 01:05 |
| z1haze2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7719045/ | 01:05 |
| z1haze2 | yea i use it sometimes | 01:05 |
| histo | Monotoko: that's silly with sed why not just grep | 01:07 |
| Monotoko | histo, what's that sorry? | 01:07 |
| histo | z1haze2: even that script checks the pid to see if its there. | 01:08 |
| z1haze2 | isnt that what its supposed to do | 01:09 |
| histo | ps -a | grep 7dtd compare the output of that if it's null then the server isn't running. | 01:10 |
| z1haze2 | how can i do that though | 01:11 |
| z1haze2 | i only know like some simple java | 01:11 |
| z1haze2 | and from what i see syntax isnt close to the same | 01:11 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - two secs | 01:12 |
| Monotoko | http://pastebin.com/MuU9uUzz | 01:12 |
| z1haze2 | so do i put that in my backupscript? | 01:13 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - kind of | 01:13 |
| Monotoko | you want your backup bits to go between line 6 and line 8 | 01:13 |
| Monotoko | basically so it only runs them when the server is running | 01:14 |
| z1haze2 | replace running? | 01:14 |
| Monotoko | yeah | 01:14 |
| histo | and change line 5 to exit | 01:14 |
| z1haze2 | gotcha | 01:14 |
| Monotoko | histo, look at me, I used grep ;) | 01:14 |
| z1haze2 | http://pastebin.com/LM1L5hRm like this? | 01:18 |
| Monotoko | z1haze2 - looks good to me | 01:19 |
| Monotoko | might want to test it somewhere | 01:19 |
| z1haze2 | yea ill test it | 01:19 |
| z1haze2 | but u know what this wont work | 01:19 |
| z1haze2 | there are instances of the server | 01:19 |
| z1haze2 | like server1, server2 | 01:19 |
| histo | hrm.. that won't work | 01:20 |
| z1haze2 | can u see anything in the common.sh that would show how to find a specific instance | 01:20 |
| Monotoko | ah... then yeah, they would all have to be down | 01:20 |
| histo | neither variant works with sed or grep there is something wrong with the test | 01:21 |
| histo | how about simplifying | 01:24 |
| histo | if ps -a | grep -v grep | grep 7dtd > /dev/null; then bbackup commands; else exit; fi | 01:25 |
| z1haze2 | 1 sec have to reboot the machine | 01:26 |

| z1haze2 | minus the checking for the instance thing | 01:36 |

| histo | z1haze2: which script are you running? | 01:39 |
| z1haze2 | the last one u just posted | 01:39 |
| histo | z1haze2: hold on let me look for typo | 01:39 |
| z1haze2 | histo i just thought of a way to isolate the instances | 01:43 |
| z1haze2 | is there a way to isoloate the directory the grep is searching for the 7dtd pid? | 01:44 |
| z1haze2 | because i just noticed that when you start the server for a specific instance it puts a 7dtd.pid file in the /instances/ directory | 01:44 |
| histo | z1haze2: pastebin your script | 01:45 |

| histo | z1haze2: $(date............').tgz | 01:47 |
| histo | z1haze2: that part | 01:48 |
| z1haze2 | oh isee | 01:48 |
| z1haze2 | so anyways back to my latest discovery | 01:48 |
| z1haze2 | is there a way to search for 7dtd.pid in a specific directory for this script we have made | 01:48 |
| z1haze2 | because it generates that pid file when the server is up | 01:48 |
| z1haze2 | and its gone when its down | 01:49 |
| histo | z1haze2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7719172/ | 01:49 |
| z1haze2 | i fixed that part did u chane anything else? | 01:50 |
| histo | z1haze2: yeah got rid of the ; and moved them down a line just for sanity | 01:50 |
| histo | s/them/then/ | 01:51 |
| histo | z1haze2: you'd have to see where the common.h stores the pid's | 01:52 |
| histo | z1haze2: I can't remember | 01:52 |
| z1haze2 | haha umessed up the ') again | 01:52 |
| z1haze2 | i know where it stores them | 01:52 |
| z1haze2 | in the isntance folder of that instance | 01:52 |
| z1haze2 | so for like instance pvp it will be in /instances/pvp/7dtd.pid | 01:52 |
| histo | no I didn't | 01:53 |
| histo | Oh yeah i did | 01:53 |
| histo | lol | 01:54 |
| z1haze2 | hmm | 01:54 |
| z1haze2 | its not working | 01:54 |
| z1haze2 | the check thing | 01:54 |
| z1haze2 | the syntax isfine | 01:54 |
| z1haze2 | but it just backing up when its online | 01:54 |
| histo | z1haze2: well the grep check see's if there is a process running with the name 7dtd | 01:54 |
| histo | z1haze2: I thought you wanted to backup when it was running and not when it is off | 01:55 |
| z1haze2 | lets search for file 7dtd.pid in/home/sdtd/instances/TGC-PVE | 01:55 |
| histo | k | 01:55 |
| z1haze2 | because that file is only there when the server is online | 01:55 |
| z1haze2 | yes ur are correct backup while its running, do nothing if offline | 01:55 |
| histo | z1haze2: if [ -f /path/to/somefile ] then blah blah else blah blah fi | 01:56 |
| z1haze2 | literally like that? if [ -f /home/sdtd/instances/TGC-PVP/7dtd.pid ] ? | 01:57 |
| z1haze2 | whre the logical statement in that | 01:57 |
| histo | z1haze2: yeah if file blah blah exists | 01:58 |
| z1haze2 | whats makes it say if exists though | 01:58 |
| histo | z1haze2: -f is to check if the file is there. | 01:58 |
| z1haze2 | oh | 01:58 |
| histo | if the file isn't it will elese | 01:58 |
| histo | else | 01:58 |
| histo | z1haze2: to keep with your variable theme you could add a INSTANCE at the top for the path | 01:59 |
| z1haze2 | ah yea | 01:59 |
| histo | it's up to you though. | 01:59 |
| z1haze2 | no its good thinkin, cleaner | 01:59 |
| z1haze2 | and in linux we use [ ] for logical statements? | 02:00 |
| histo | z1haze2: bash not linux | 02:01 |
| z1haze2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7719227/ whatcha think | 02:01 |
| histo | z1haze2: looks good if it's running it will backup else exit | 02:02 |
| z1haze2 | ok yep it just backed up once let me turn it off and see | 02:02 |
| histo | z1haze2: [] is a test in bash | 02:03 |
| z1haze2 | oh ok | 02:03 |
| z1haze2 | great it worked | 02:04 |
| z1haze2 | i think im gonna change it to like 6 hours | 02:04 |
| z1haze2 | how would i do that with the 0 * * * * thing | 02:04 |
| z1haze2 | like 0 6 * * * /home/z1haze/7dtdPVEbackups.sh ? | 02:05 |
| histo | 0 */6 * * * | 02:06 |
| histo | or 0 0,6,12,18 * * * | 02:06 |
| histo | either way | 02:06 |
| z1haze2 | 0 */6 * * * /home/z1haze/7dtdPVEbackups.sh | 02:06 |
| histo | z1haze2: yeah looks good, it will email you output also | 02:06 |
| z1haze2 | now i wont have to worry quite so much about filling up my drive | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | how do iset the email though? ive never set it | 02:07 |
| histo | z1haze2: do you have a mail server running on this box? | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | nope | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | :) | 02:07 |
| histo | then it won't email you. | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | haha | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | mailservers are a pain | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | every time ive ever made one it always sends to junk mail | 02:07 |
| z1haze2 | so i just use mailgun | 02:07 |
| Patrickdk | well, mailservers are a lot of work | 02:08 |
| histo | well you only need a sending server so something like ssmtp would do the trick. then you just add a MAILTO=whomever@example.com in your crontab | 02:08 |
| z1haze2 | yea im not that talented to do all that | 02:08 |
| Patrickdk | unless you have preconfigured examples and done it several times | 02:08 |
| Patrickdk | expect it to take a week | 02:08 |
| z1haze2 | im somewhat ok at doing websites but thats where it ends | 02:08 |
| z1haze2 | do you play any games | 02:09 |
| histo | You don't need a full blown mailserver. I'd use something like ssmtp or esmtp or one of the other ones | 02:09 |
| z1haze2 | i dont know what those are, is it something easy to do | 02:09 |
| Patrickdk | !nullmailer | 02:09 |
| Patrickdk | stupid bot | 02:09 |
| z1haze2 | haha | 02:09 |
| z1haze2 | .nullmailer | 02:09 |
| z1haze2 | some bots are ! and some are . right? | 02:10 |
| histo | z1haze2: yeah it's just a text file to configure with those and you can have them use a gmail address to send out mail | 02:10 |
| Patrickdk | it doesn't have an entry for it is the issue | 02:10 |
| z1haze | well thank you so much for your help | 02:16 |
| z1haze | i achieved my goal this evening thanks to you | 02:17 |
| histo | z1haze: np and no I don't play any games | 02:17 |
| z1haze | now i just have to create a new script for the other instances, iull jhust cp it | 02:17 |
| histo | z1haze: well you learned a lot also | 02:17 |
| z1haze | i did | 02:17 |
| z1haze | i could definitely do this now | 02:17 |
| z1haze | but its just all so new to me | 02:17 |
| z1haze | how histo | 02:19 |
| z1haze | hey* | 02:20 |
| z1haze | i know it all works good as of now; but i kinda wanna perfect is | 02:20 |
| z1haze | i want to keep a weeks worth of backups | 02:21 |
| z1haze | so 28 files, how could we make it delete backups starting with the oldest once we hit 28 | 02:21 |
| z1haze | where can i read what sh -c means in a bash script | 02:49 |
| histo | z1haze: let me think about the easiest way to do that. | 02:50 |
| z1haze | well histo i figured out the backup deletion | 02:50 |
| z1haze | well i had help but i put the pieces together | 02:51 |
| histo | z1haze: ahh cool what are you using? | 02:51 |
| histo | wc -l ? | 02:51 |
| z1haze | sh -c "cd $DESTDIR && ls -t | tail -n +29 | xargs rm" | 02:51 |
| histo | ahh very nice | 02:51 |
| z1haze | can you explain it to me haha | 02:51 |
| histo | z1haze: well you can change teh beginning to ls -t $DESTDIR | tail -n +29 .... | 02:52 |
| z1haze | i tried that | 02:52 |
| z1haze | it wasnt able to delete the files | 02:52 |
| histo | z1haze: how were you trying it? It should work | 02:52 |
| z1haze | rm: cannot remove `backup-2014-06-28-220402.tgz': No such file or directory | 02:52 |
| z1haze | it wasnt in the directory | 02:52 |
| z1haze | so the shell wasnt in the right place | 02:53 |
| z1haze | the code that some guy gave me worked | 02:53 |
| z1haze | i just didnt really understand it | 02:53 |
| z1haze | he says it opens a new shell and runs that command, but it doesnt effect anything else after that | 02:53 |
| histo | z1haze: I don't see why the sh is necessary let me try a test real quick | 02:53 |
| z1haze | ok | 02:54 |
| z1haze | we have to get the shell into the right directory before it exectutes rm | 02:54 |
| histo | oh yeah you need the full path from ls | 02:56 |
| histo | that's why | 02:56 |
| z1haze | so is this way ok? or would u change it | 02:56 |
| histo | it will work the way it is, i'm just trying to think of a different way to explain it to you. | 02:57 |
| histo | you could ls -d -t $PWD/* but that will confuse you more | 03:04 |
| z1haze | heh | 03:11 |
| z1haze | well i know pwd is current directory | 03:11 |
| histo | z1haze: so basically the way you have it now you are running cd and ls -t in a shell. Then you are piping the output to tail to get the last entries and piping that to xargs to rm the ones above 29 | 03:11 |
| z1haze | right | 03:12 |
| z1haze | i get the concept kinda | 03:12 |
| z1haze | what are all the xargs for | 03:13 |
| histo | xargs just passes what you give it to the specified command | 03:13 |
| histo | so it's taking the output of the tail and passing it to rm | 03:13 |
| histo | z1haze: So the reason you got the error before is because originally your ls -t was only happening in the directory where they script was run. That's why it needed the cd | 03:14 |
| z1haze | right | 03:14 |
| histo | z1haze: to get it without the sh you'd have to use a function | 03:16 |
| histo | z1haze: after each command the subshell exits in bash script. | 03:16 |
| z1haze | im gonna stick with it haha | 03:17 |
| histo | actually you could just cd $BACKDIR && ls -t ..... should work without the sh | 03:18 |
| histo | but with the sh is more appropriate then when that line is done it goes back tot eh directory that the script was run from. | 03:19 |
| histo | glad you got it all working though | 03:19 |
| histo | what is with freenode tonight | 03:43 |
| No_one_at_all | Hi, question: fsck is set to run once every 6 months on our server. It last ran last December, and I would swear before we updated to 14.04 that it was scheduled for June this year. But I just checked it, and it is set for July 14, and what's more, it says the last check was run in January of /this/ year. What gives? | 03:46 |
| Patrickdk | your clock was set wrong | 03:54 |
| Patrickdk | or your have a bad memory | 03:54 |
| Patrickdk | there was never a reason why it would have run? | 03:55 |
| Patrickdk | like the machine crashed or was powered down uncleanly? | 03:56 |
| histo | No_one_at_all: how are you scheduling it? | 04:06 |
| No_one_at_all | histo: i'm not, it's doing it automatically | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | No_one_at_all I would guess a clock localization setting | 04:06 |
| histo | No_one_at_all: then how is it "set to run every 6 months" ? | 04:06 |
| Patrickdk | histo, filesystem default | 04:07 |
| histo | ahh | 04:07 |
| Patrickdk | you have never used ext[234]? | 04:07 |
| histo | on reboot you mean? | 04:07 |
| Patrickdk | no, on boot | 04:07 |
| histo | yeah | 04:08 |
| histo | I was going to say fs has to be un mounted | 04:08 |
| Patrickdk | no | 04:08 |
| histo | o'rly? | 04:08 |
| Patrickdk | it's always done the checks with it mounted read-only | 04:08 |
| histo | Why would it mount ro to fsck? | 04:09 |
| histo | on boot? | 04:09 |
| Patrickdk | so you can boot? | 04:09 |
| histo | it's not mounted ro to boot | 04:09 |
| Patrickdk | yes it is | 04:09 |
| Patrickdk | it's mounted read only, then fsck starts, and when it finishes it remounts rw | 04:09 |
| histo | Why would it do that? | 04:14 |
| Patrickdk | how does it know what filesystems it needs to check? if it can't read /etc/fstab? | 04:16 |
| Patrickdk | but beyond that not sure | 04:16 |
| Patrickdk | it was long long ago, it was changed from premount, to reonly mount | 04:16 |
| Patrickdk | long before ubuntu was started it was done that way | 04:16 |
| histo | silliness | 04:16 |
| No_one_at_all | Well, I have no idea what caused this, but I forced an fsck anyway since we were expecting the downtime, and i guess all's well that ends well. | 05:00 |
| No_one_at_all | >_< | 05:00 |
| No_one_at_all | date's right | 05:01 |
| === qu|x_ is now known as qu|x | ||
| histo | No_one_at_all: you can check with tune2fs when the next one is scheduled | 06:00 |
| histo | No_one_at_all: it probably fsck'd because of mount count | 06:01 |
| No_one_at_all | histo: yeah, I'm aware of how to check for it (now), after the debacle we had last June | 06:13 |
| No_one_at_all | and it fsck'd because of the date, not number of mounts/unmounts. This thing gets rebooted once every month and a half | 06:14 |
| No_one_at_all | if that | 06:14 |

| DeadxBeat | Hey all, in just installed ubuntu server with ssh and lamp and i set a static ip. I was able to access apache via the ip but then i updated the hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and rebooted and now i am unable to access apache via ip. What did i do wrong? | 17:54 |
| DeadxBeat | Anyone? =/ | 17:58 |
| DeadxBeat | aye | 18:03 |
| Xethron | DeadxBeat: Did you change your apache config? | 18:03 |
| Xethron | Or only your hosts? | 18:04 |
| DeadxBeat | just my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 18:04 |
| Xethron | Pastebin please? | 18:04 |
| DeadxBeat | only thing i added to /etc/hosts was xx.xx.xx.xx mydomain.com mydomain and to /etc/hostname is just mydomain | 18:04 |
| DeadxBeat | I took a look around the apache configs but i can't find anything that has to do with the hostname | 18:07 |
| Xethron | DeadxBeat: did you leave localhost intact? | 18:08 |
| DeadxBeat | yes | 18:08 |
| Xethron | DeadxBeat: and xx.xx.xx.xx is a valid IP address? | 18:09 |
| DeadxBeat | Yes, its the static ip i've assigned in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:10 |
| DeadxBeat | i can ping the machine via the ip address and it has internet access | 18:10 |
| DeadxBeat | Its not on my local network because its a static ip assigned by the ISP | 18:11 |
| DeadxBeat | is it necessary for my hostname to match my domain name? | 18:15 |

| bitbyte | does any one know if on ubuntu server the encrypted LVM is mounted over LUKS ? | 21:55 |
| bitbyte | by the way my version is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-29-generic x86_64) | 22:01 |
| TJ- | bitbyte: how do you mean by 'over'? As in, raw device --> LUKS --> LVM ? | 22:02 |
| bitbyte | well im currently trying to figure out how the bootloaer is mounting my encrypted LVM and wheter it uses LUKS | 22:03 |
| TJ- | bitbyte: Standard install always uses LUKS | 22:04 |
| bitbyte | im basically trying to put a key file on my boot partion so I can tell LUKS that the keyfile is on boot so i can reboot my server remotely without needing to be infront of it. | 22:04 |
| TJ- | bitbyte: that's kind of insecure, storing the key in /boot/ - may as well not encrypt | 22:06 |
| TJ- | bitbyte: have you thought about remote ssh key provision? | 22:06 |
| bitbyte | it’s a home server to be fair, but im working remotely for next few months so trying to make it so can perform reboots when needed | 22:07 |
| TJ- | How about: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/579/Unlocking_a_LUKS_encrypted_root_partition_via_ssh | 22:07 |
| bitbyte | not herd of ssh key provision but im doing this from external of the network | 22:07 |
| bitbyte | im currently following this http://askubuntu.com/questions/59487/how-to-configure-lvm-luks-to-autodecrypt-partition | 22:08 |
| TJ- | You can reverse the concept and have the server contact the key server, of course | 22:08 |
| Kawaiola | Hey guys whats an easy way to get drivers for ubuntu server my ethernet card says it isn't managed and it gets to the internet but I can't set it static | 23:22 |
| TJ- | Kawaiola: It sounds like you're confusing concepts. What reports the ethernet card is not managed? | 23:23 |
| Kawaiola | TJ-, Well I installed the user interface to my server and the top right corner where the connections mananger is says that and it won't let me click them | 23:26 |
| TJ- | Ahhhh... I thought as much :) "unmanaged" simply means that Network Manager isn't managing the connection, and that is likely because it's configuration is in "/etc/network/interfaces" | 23:26 |
| Kawaiola | TJ-, Ahh so I will have to set the server static command line anyways is what you are saying haha | 23:28 |
