CRON Job Timing Out
i have had a problem for some time now, regarding my CRON jobs. I am trying to download a large amount of data from ebay (through their API, totally legal and aboveboard) using php, but my CRONjob times out.
I have tried resetting the timeout variable, but then it exceeds the maximum filesize
SO, my question: is there any way to have a script run as a CRON job, and wen it is complete, call another script?

Reboot Cron Job
VPS isn't rebooting by itself when it goes down. Anyone has any program/script that monitors heartbeat of the server? Like when it goes down, the program will automatically reboots the system. I know there's such a script out there but I forgot what it called.

Cron Job Email In DA
I've got limited knowledge in scripting so I've come to the interweb for help. Google hasn't answered any of my queries so the trusty WHT is next. I'm trying to create a script cron that will email my clients once per month with space and bandwidth useage reminders. I'd prefer not to have to set up crons in each individual account, but rather email all with tokening including |name| |bandwidth| |space| out of the allowed space & bandwidth according to the clients package.

MySQLDUMP Cron Job
setting up a new cron job. I would like to have MySQLDUMP dump my specified database(s) into a specified folder using date and time stamps in the filename. I've done some searching on this but haven't really came up with a way to do all of this at once, or if I may need to setup a cron job to rename the file after the dump has completed. I may be going about this all wrong to begin with, I'm just looking for a very simple and reliable way to backup my databases. I'm testing this on a Shared Web Host account at this time which does have SSH shell access, but I wasn't sure if this makes a difference.

Cron Job And Query String
Is it possible to call a cron job with a query string appended to the file. I have no problem setting up crons in the cron tab..but i'd like the cron to fetch a url that looks something like /home/php/some-file.php?a=1 is this possible directly through the cron job? I guess an alternative is call some php file that uses curl but i was wondering if there 's a direct way.

Cron Job Not Working Properly
I have a slight problem with a cron job I have setup. I wanted to save a copy of iptables every hour to a folder, so I created a script... here it is: Code: varDate=`date +%y%m%d` varTime=`date +%H%M` filename="IPtablesBackup-$varDate-$varTime" iptables-save -c > /etc/IPtablesBackup/$filename and called is Backup-Script.sh Now if I just execute the script will in root ./Backup-Script.sh I get a new file with the correct filename and iptables info is saved ! Great ! So then I thought, how can I setup this automatically every hour. Which leads me on to my problem. I inputted "crontab -e" added this line Code: 59 * * * * /etc/IPtablesBackup/Backup-Script.sh The problem is the script is run, I know because it creates a new file with the correct time and date, however the file is empty? I have set Backup-Script.sh to 777 and owner and group are both root?

Cron Job Not Working, Restart Services
I'm having a bit of trouble with one cron job that doesn't seem to work. I have others scripts that run hourly fine. However this one does not. The script: restart_monitoring.sh Code: #!/bin/bash service iptables stop service iptables start /root/bandwidth_rules.sh /root/portforward_config.sh exit The two scripts at the end just load a lot of iptables rules back in. The cron job should run hourly (59th minute) The cron job entry Code: 59 * * * * /root/restart_monitoring.sh I have restart crond to enable the new job, still doesn't run. The job is to restart iptables, thus flushing all rules that I have running, then reloading them. I have figured out the problem to be with the "service iptables stop/start" command, it doesn't seem to like doing this...?

Scheduled Consecutive Shell Commands Or As Cron Job
Is it possible to schedule consecutive shell commands to be run at a given time or every certain period (like every hour)? This is important for me as I want to schedule to run certain program and then input the following commands afterwards to do and complete the task, all automatically within the specified schedule. One example would be connecting to an FTP. First you'd need to input the ftp command to run the ftp program, then following that, input another commands consecutively within that session (the ftp program) to do and complete the task. I'm running KDE on CentOs4 btw. Is it even possible to do this on cron jobs?

Cron Job That Deletes Backup Files Older Than 5 Days
This is on a RHEL 4 Box. I want to create a cron job that deletes backup files that are older than 5 days. I have created a shell script (/usr/local/src/runjob.sh) that runs successfully from the SSH command line: Code: #pwd /usr/local/src #./runjob.sh Here is the script: Code: #!/bin/sh # # find /usr/local/apache/sites/*/BACKUPS/ -maxdepth 1 -atime +5 -iname 'test*.txt' -exec rm {} ; Script has 777 permissions and is owned by root. I have the following entry in crontab: Code: 10 12 * * * /bin/sh /usr/local/src/runjob.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 As shown in the cron log, the job does run, but it does not delete the files. And there are files older than 5 days in the directory that meet the find criteria.

Create A Cron Job To Clear Your /tmp Folder Automatically?
how I can create a cron job that runs every 10minutes or so to clear my /tmp folder on one of my servers? Reason I ask is, it keeps getting filled up and doesn't delete the fiels in it and stops certain scripts from running. Also, again, I need step by step instructions, such as: 1) what, where the file is I need to place the cron job in 2) what line of code would I put in that file (what does the cron job line look like for every 10min every day) 3) do I need to restart anything, and if so, what command do I run in shell?

Apache Timing Out
I have recently tweaked my server (AMD 3000+ 1gb Ram 10mbps port) by configuring the httpd.conf, my.cnf and php.ini. I am pleased to say that the server is now responding well and the load is always below 1.00. However, sometimes a user will experience a time-out through their browser. Once they refresh the server will then react as it should and carry out the command which is being asked of it. tweaking apache so that timeouts do not occur....here are the changes I have made... php.ini Code: [MySQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mysql.allow_persistent = Off httpd.conf Code: KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 3 MinSpareServers 16 MaxSpareServers 32 StartServers 20 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 5 and finally here is my.cnf file Code: [mysqld] skip-locking skip-innodb max_connections = 400 key_buffer = 200M myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M join_buffer=2M read_buffer_size = 5M sort_buffer_size = 5M read_rnd_buffer_size = 5M table_cache = 1536 thread_cache_size = 128 interactive_timeout=100 wait_timeout=10 connect_timeout=10 tmp_table_size = 48M max_allowed_packet = 16M max_connect_errors = 10 query_cache_limit = 3M query_cache_size = 64M query_cache_type = 1 thread_concurrency=4 log-slow-queries = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log old-passwords = 1 [mysqld_safe] open_files_limit = 8192 [mysqldump] quick max_allowed_packet = 16M [myisamchk] key_buffer = 64M sort_buffer = 64M read_buffer = 16M write_buffer = 16M

A Tale Of Woe And Bad Timing
I decided to merge 2 old dedicated servers into 1 colocated machine with better specs the old machines have a combined number of about 280 accounts. I purchased a Broadberry Server and requested a specific setup and OS (CentOS) after some delays they finally got it working and shipped it to the Datacentre I chose 49pence/RapidSwitch for colocation in the UK I received a email from 49pence on how they wanted it setup and Broadberry did this as well which was good. Unfortunately I got the email it had been received and installed from RapidSwtich before I received the email regarding server admin and password info Broadberry set a very weak password up a bit of an oversight this As within 12 hours of it being installed it was hacked! Being a UK bank holiday we were unable to do anything till today And now we are having to retrieve the server to reinstall everything and start again! I hope the companys involved will be cooperative so we can get this up and running asap. My severs at Coreix end later this month. A lesson to be learned for us and I hope anyone reading Next time we have a check list to make sure nothing gets overlooked! Luckly no data on the server and no harm done other than cost and time.

Geo Load Balancing Via Timing Connections
I'm working on a script to help users get routed to the nearest, fastest server for the best ping. I'm in 2 datacenters, one on the east and one one the west coast of the US. I've looked at some of the geo lookup programs based on IP, but they either seem inaccurate or expensive.. and just downright difficult to use. I found out that some geo load balancers use the connection speed to figure out the best route. So, I'm trying to think of a way of timing the users connection from multiple server locations. Has anyone here done that sort of thing before? Any suggestions on how to best do that? Two completely different methods I've considered: 1. putting 2 images on a web page, and using javascript to time the loading of them. 2. pinging the user IP from each coast and seeing which is fastest. (Is there a lighter way than ping? )

FTP Timing Out When Uploading Small Files
There is a behavour with my server FTP when uploading a whole directory with many files in many sub-directories Very often, the server disconnect itself when actively uploading files and the log simply says 'timeout' It is as if the file got 'stuck' half way, and the FTP consider them as idle, therefore it disconnect you with a 'timeout' before reconnecting you. But i have no problem uploading a single 200mb file to the server via FTP. I suppose no problem with 'keep alive' So what is this behavior and how to solve it?

Browser Timing Out/ftp Issues Asia Pacific/Australia/Oceania To US
I have a VPS located in LA, USA. For over a week now I have had the following network issues: - browser timing out (for me and visitors to my site) - ftp connection issues The server load is low so it's not server related. Traceroute TO the server appears fine. Traceroute FROM the server to users IP's appears to have issues over the SingTel/Optus network. My webhost says it's an issue for SingTel/Optus. SingTel/Optus Engineer say: "Our testings point to a problem either within Cogent's network or on a peering link between Cogent and Singtel in LA. I'd suggest that the owner of the domain (me!) approach his hosting provider and have them escalate to Cogent. We can't escalate to Cogent as we have no peering with them." So I've been the meat in the sandwich for over a week with no sign of a fix. My options appear to be to either move the VPS away from the webhost and host it locally (Australia) or to somehow wait for someone to step up and take responsiblity and get this resolved. My heart says wait as it's not *my* responsibility but it's costing me financially and professionally. Anyone else experiencing similiar/same issues from the Asia Pacific region to the US?

Then I can see the log file: $ tail -f output.log But when I close my ssh session (using putty), the background job is also closed! Anyone know why? How can I run background job, leave it running, and quit my ssh session?

Per Second Cron Jobs?
Hey everyone, my friend's dad is looking for a web host that will allow his cron jobs to run every second. Most hosts apparently dont allow cron jobs faster than 5 seconds apart. How often a host can run cron jobs isn't really advertised on their sites so I'm having a bit of trouble finding a host. I've resorted to just sending emails to sales addresses asking about it. Does anyone know how I can find a host like this?
