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 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 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 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?

Community String For Server
We have some Cisco servers that are being administrated by Affant. I recently downloaded a network management tool called SolarWinds and it looks really interesting and amazing because it can do so much for network monitoring. It seems that it needs not only the IP address for out server, but also a Community String. I tried the basic defaults (private, public) but they will not connect. I researched online and found some other defaults for a 3COM network, but none of those worked either. I was going to try and telnet through to the server but port 23 (default telnet port) is closed. Im sure its for security purposes. I also read online that if I used a packet sniffer, I would be able to sniff out packets which hed the community string in them. However, I could not find a sniffer which would actually do this. Any suggestions on a good packet sniffer that could do this? Also, If the telnet port is closed, is there any other way I could telnet into the server on a different port? Or maybe use some other way to access the server? I really want to use this program but I dont think my corperate office would like us to be monitoring it using this third party software, but us IT people dont really care... If there is anything you can help out with, it would be most appreciated.

Query Regarding VPS
I run a small Fan community / forum that I am looking to move to a VPS server as these are a little cheaper than Dedicated I have a couple of questions & wondered if anyone could assist? I need a Control panel as I have had experience with Plesk & Cpanel & do not have any SSH experience whatsoever I see Cpanel offered in some VPS offers, Would this include things like Fantastico etc? Would I better suited to a Managed or Unmanaged account? I assume seeing I have no SSH knowledge Managed account would be better I had looked at a site called nameway dot com & like the look of their VPS offer but would love to hear other peoples thoughts on them (I haven't posted enough to post a url so site is www dot nameway dot com/resellers-hosting.htm ) If I were to go unamanaged or part managed if there is such a thing, would this mean I would have to upload things like apache for php, mysql etc? or would this still be standard in an unmanaged account if a cpanel or control panel is offered?

Can BIND Query Another Nameserver
I've got mydomain.com using my own BIND nameserver hosted on a dedicated server. I need subdomain.mydomain.com to have a dynamic IP. I know many dynamic DNS providers, but they all require you to change the nameservers of your domain to their own nameservers. Unfortunately I cannot do this - I need mydomain.com to keep using my nameservers. I therefore need a way to get my nameserver to query a dynamic DNS providers' nameserver for subdomain.mydomain.com. Esentially my nameserver would just copy the IP that the other nameserver returns. Can BIND do this, or if not, any other name-server software?
