Cron Jobs And Time Zone Differences
I have a customer billing system.
I would like crons to run at midnight so that the invoices are on schedule and have the right dates etc.
My server is overseas and my time is plus 14 hrs here.
I have set my software up to plus 14 hrs time difference also.
What should I set my crons to?

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?

Cron Jobs Not Running
I have a machine, that for some reason stopped running it's cron jobs for some reason, and I can figure out how to get them working again. My /etc/crontab file is as follows. SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly Here are the contents of a sample user cron file. MAILTO="USER" 10 4 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updtransfers.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updateexp.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/invoice_cron.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 and another */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -c /home/USER/php.ini /home/USER/public_html/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 I've checked my logs, and I can find no errors anywhere. When I run the commands manually via SSH, they work perfectly, they simply are not being run automatically the way they are supposed to be. I have checked, and the crond service is running. I have tried restarting it, but it seams to have no affect. I really have no idea what the issue is. The only thing I seam to have found at one point, was the possibility that the files within the /etc/cron.d directory might be CHMOD'ed wrong, but I haven't found anything to confirm this either way. [root@server cron.d]# ls -all total 60 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 03:07 . drwx--x--x 94 root root 12288 Jan 3 09:28 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61 Jun 22 2007 csf_update -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Apr 11 2007 lsm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Jun 22 2007 prm -rw------- 1 root root 366 Feb 23 2007 sa-update -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 Jun 22 2007 spri -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Nov 16 23:14 sysstat [root@server cron.d]#

Software To Control Cron Jobs?
Is there any software which would control cron jobs? I've a problem with cpu load where some customers are running more than enough of them at the same time. Is there any software which would be able to: If there are more than x crons running at the same time, put others in queue and execute after there are no more than x-1 are running?

Determine What Cron Jobs Are Killing Server And When
We're running on Linux/Apache/MySQL/RoR and have a number of cron jobs that run throughout the day on our server. We've been noticing lately that at certain times of the day the site becomes really slow. When I'm online with my engineers I can mention this to them and they can check and see and say "Oh yeah, it's job XYZ that's spiking the server load." That's great but much of the time when I notice the sluggishness my developers are offline (we're in different time zones). I'm wondering if there's a fairly easy way to track this when they're not online so we can say "Yup, last night at 10 PM your time when you noticed that it was job ABC." There has to be something that allows you to do this right?

Variable Filenames By Date In Cron Jobs
How do you insert variables in cron jobs? e.g. the current date. Let's say I want to back up a file and append the date to it. 0 0 * * * cp /some/file.txt /some/outputfile_[DATE].txt >/dev/null (note that I'm not sure the cp will actually work like that, it's just an example) Where outputfile_[DATE].txt has the date in it. Are there variables cron can use for date, hour, minute, etc.?

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account). In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this: /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email: /home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

Time Zone Issue.
I have a linux server running websites without any control panels. The problem is that the scripts run by cron daemons are showing up a wrong time and time zone on emails. This happens when they are run as automated scripts by cron daemon. Recently I have changed the time from EST to CST. The command date and hwclock --show gives the correct CST, even the scripts run from the shell showsup the correct CST time.

Zone.net Around For A Long Time
I am using Servint and I am looking for another provider with similar reputation/reliability. I have heard many good things about Zone.net on this forum, but they don't have any reviews older than a few months. Have they been around long, if so, why no early posts?

How To Set Time Zone On Web Hosting
I am having an issue where it appears an incorrect time zone may be on my account. I am in Mountain Daylight Time and it appears that it's putting me as being in Eastern Daylight Time. I was told that you can put a line such as:SetEnv TZ America/Denver in your htaccess.txt file. I wasn't sure where to put it so I put it at the end of the hdaccess.txt file. The issue is it appears it still did not fix it. Is there another way to set the time zone or did I do something incorrectly?

Differences In Servers
I currently run a couple of forum-heavy websites on a Pentium D950 (3.4 GHz 800FSB Dual Core 2x2mb cache). The sites use most resources for mysql and php (via apache), plus some more for email and serving images via tux. So now I'm looking for an upgrade. I've grabbed the following off the Softlayer website: Quote: Server CPU Speed CPU MHz CPU Cache Price Intel Xeon 5050 2 x 3.00GHz 667MHz 2 x 2MB - HT $179 Intel Xeon 5130 2 x 2.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $199 Intel Xeon 5140 2 x 2.33GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $239 Intel Xeon 5160 2 x 3.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $279 Intel Xeon 5310 4 x 1.60GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $219 Intel Xeon 5320 4 x 1.86GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $259 Now what do I make of this? First of all, I'm having a hard time relating the CPU speed to the clock speed. The 5050 seems alright to me, but I've read somewhere that Dempseys are already regarded as outdated, so obviously I'm underestimating the importance of clock speed? (Do I get the performance by basically multiplying the clock speed with the CPU speed?) Also, what's up with the quad core? Is that something worth considering for the purpose mentioned above, or will it be wasted on the four cores? What about the lower CPU speed of the quad core - will the faster dual core actually get the same or even more work done? Or am I looking at the wrong brides and should rather run and get myself two cheapo servers with php on one and mysql on the other? (Or go with one of the above and just take two disks?)

Differences Between Router, Switch And Hub
differences between a router, hub and a switch. I have set up a file/print server using samba on my home network that just uses a simple 4 port linksys router, so I'm relatively familiar with routers. Its my understanding that a hub, is kind of like a router but w/o a "to modem" spot. So you would use a hub if you just wanted to connect some computers to have a LAN party or something, right? Where there'd be no internet connection. Is this correct? As far as switches, I get the feeling they are like routers, only better? Because data centers and companies mostly use switches, not routers? Or am I way off? What exactly is different between a switch and a router. As a supplamental question- I will be starting college next fall, and a friend of mine said that dorm students are not supposed to use routers, but rather switches. Any idea why this would be the case? And also, along the lines of college networks. Say I wanted to take my server with me to my dorm, how would that work? I know this depends on the university, but how would such a large network like that work- would each dorm have its own public IP address? Or would the dorm have one public IP, then each room have an internal IP? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've really only worked with simple home networking

Server Response Time :: Network Time Out
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with: network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com. If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it? What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?

Daily, Time To Time Cpu Load
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots. Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service? How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load? I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.

Zone.net
I came in here a couple days back looking for a reliable, powerful, and well priced VPS. I went through a couple companies and one of the first that I really seriously considered was Zone.net. It's really all about first impressions and zone.net wins this. Their site looks great and definitely made a good impression on me. I had some questions about hosting a Debian VPS; they answered them quickly and completely. Their support is first-class and very personable. I waited on hold for less than a minute, and was instantly directed to a very knowledgeable agent. After setting up my VPS, I can tell you that my sites get some good traffic and zone.net is handling it all great. Their bandwidth is fast, their servers are first class, and they're definitely the kind of host everybody should have. I've been through many other hosts in search of a decent VPS and I definitely will be staying with zone.net for a while. I'm not affiliated at all with them, just a very satisfied customer. If you're thinking of opening something with them and would like an honest, third party opinion, don't hesitate to PM me.

I just wanted to take a minute to express how happy I am with my new VPS from Zone.net. There was a minor delay getting my VPS set up and they were upfront and gave me a good credit for it. This is rare in this day and age and I felt I should share how well they communicated. So far the VPS is screaming and hosting my 3 sites without breaking a sweat. Ill post a week or month report as I get time. This site helped me find Zone.net, so some more good feedback can't hurt. :-)

I never got my IP and server info and called customer support. No kidding... been 9 days and Level 1 support kees saying someone will get back to me. So today I call them and ask them if they are going out of biz because customer support is impossible bad, and he basically said yes!!! Wish they would have told me that upfront. Anyway, wasted a few weeks with them. Now my cohorts and I are on the lookout for some new hosting companies. All recs welcome

DON'T BE MISTAKEN ABOUT ZONE.NET
It has come the time to find out who REALLY IS Zone.net This is the moment where zone.net is experiencing their worst situation ever. We are all offline since friday, we are all extremely nervous and some of us are even losing clients because of the prolonged downtime. Many of us have sent awful emails to zone.net and there are thousands of complaints arriving continuously to zone.net. I'm amazed to see how zone.net is behaving in front of this awful & critical situation. Believe it or not, they are politely answering the emails, they opened a special page where they update everything that's going on so that we all know what's happening and what they are doing, they have a lot of engineers working continuously to solve the situation as soon as possible and they really are devoted to end this nightmare. So this is NOT only our problem -as their customers-, but their problem as well and therefore, we are all together on this and as such we should help each other instead of screaming at them. Zone.net is showing with facts and with their behaviour that they are a SERIOUS AND VERY DECENT AND PROFESSIONAL company who deserves our support & help because it is nowadays extremely difficult to find decent and professional people like the one at zone.net. The fact that there's a problem today doesn't mean more than what it really is, and that problem we are suffering now has taught us that zone.net is one of the best companies we can possibly find. I'm pretty sure & confident this great people will satisfactorily solve the situation in a short while. You actually know a company when that company is in trouble. Otherwise they are all great....

Review For Zone.net
A few months ago, I helped a client setup some services on a VPS provided by zone.net. The setup process was easy and the VPS was activated very quickly. The online support staff is very fast at answering any questions I throw their way. I'm also impressed with their online customer portal -- very well organized. Reliability has been perfect (as far as I can tell). The VPS is very responsive and obviously not overloaded. The price is very reasonable.

Zone.net Reviews
Anyone out here using zone.net for VPS hosting? I'm considering their VM200 fully managed package. Via current special it's a little over $50/month. 1024 MB SLM (Guaranteed), 30 gig disk, 300gig transfer. 6 ips. This includes cpanel or plesk. I also like the fact that they offer incremental upgrades. Sounds good, but being a newbie, I just don't know. I really want a reliable host with good support. I don't see too many reviews on them here... is that good or bad? I'm also considering Liquidweb.

Good Luck Zone
Its a bit comparative review between WiredTree and Zone.net Zone.net has added itself to my favorite hosting company list by its own quality. After owning a dedicated server in WiredTree, I was needed to buy a VPS. That time WiredTree VPS was very expensive. After researching a lot, I have found zone.net. I have taken their Xmas offer. Really, I enjoyed with time with them. But I had to leave them only because they don't have proactive support. I have again purchased a VPS from WiredTree (Taking an lifetime promo). Last month, my zone VPS is expired. But I still feel that server :-p. It was a real cool server. The performance of the server was much better than my current server in WiredTree. I faced some slow network issues in zone. I faced same in WiredTree too which I did not expected. Anyway to me uptime, performance and support is most crucial things. I happily give Zone.net higher marks than WiredTree in case of first two. The server was much faster then my current and server was not down in my 3 months life. As complained many times (in even WHT), their support was (may not is) slow. After purchasing a server from WiredTree, I had face some issue in my zone server. But I was really astonished seeing the fast support. I got the whole matter solved within 10mins by 6-8 mails among us. The support operator was also gentle (I forgot the name. need to dig my mailbox). So, I request Zone.net to implement proactive monitoring & support to Enterprises servers so that we don't need to worry about it. If you can do it, I think u will keep all other behind very soon. One thing I should mention here about Sean K. Most probably he is the owner. This is guy amazing. Very professional and helpful. So, if any customer is not happy with the support desk, just mail/PM him from WHT forum. You will get the issue be solved quickly. If you have monitoring and proactive support, I hope to buy my next server from you again . My best wishes to Zone.net. Finally to say: my WiredTree also good as usual. I think I should not say anything new about WiredTree. I did not see as much positive review for anyone as I have seen for WiredTree in WHT. Thats why we are with WiredTree for years. Best wishes to WiredTree too. First published in: [url]

1 Year At ZONE.net
I wrote a while back about my 9 month experience with ZONE.net, and now certain circumstances have come up that have brought the need for me to to move to a different datacenter in southern California. However, my experience "in the ZONE" was exceptional, and I didn't want to walk out on them without a final word here on WHT to let everyone know what a wonderful time it was hosting with them. In June of 2007 I was beginning to grow my own web development & client solutions business and decided it was time to move from a shared box to a "more private" VDS. I don't jump into things quickly however, so I had planned a week or so of research for the best price/quality/service combination. I spent days on here reading reviews, checked out 20 or 30 different companies and websites, and pitted plan against plan. Eventually I narrowed it down to "the top three" and finally went with ZONE.net. They lured me in with some amazing deals in the "VPS Offers" advertising forum here, and I liked seeing the activity of their sales guys on WHT. As you'll see echoed over and over again by happy customers on this forum, I wasn't disappointed by my choice. Throughout the year I filed some 16 support tickets which were all dealt with swiftly and as expected. As my company began to grow, I even went through migrating to a larger VPS plan with them, which was handled perfectly and went through effortlessly. I've "scaled-up" with other hosting companies in the past (when I worked for another company) and have had horrible experiences (plans change and prices fluctuate and you can't always get the same kind of deal you had before), but these guys were wonderful and everything went through without a snag. Their network is quick, their support is amazing, and their prices are incredible. For clients of mine who need a VPS, I always recommend the ZONE. You won't be disappointed.

Bind Zone Limit
I'm curious if there is a limit to the number of DNS zones that Bind can read. Is there a limit to where performance starts to become an issue? Would Bind be able to handle 10,000 DNS zones? What about 20,000 or 30,000? I seem to recall reading something that said Bind was only able to read a certain number of zone files. But I don't remember where I read that, and it may have been several years ago.

Zone.net Review
I can only encourage you to check out zone.net. My website receives between 9,000 and 12,500 unique pageviews a day and I am now at zone.net and their VPS hosting is awesome, not only the speed the my pages now load with, but also the custom support that helped me out with the domain transfer and setting up the VPS. I got the VM-200 Virtual Enterprise Server that comes with 768MB memory, 25GB space and 400GB traffic a month. The server specs are as following: Plesk version psa v8.1.1_build81070423.15 os_FedoraCore 5 Operating system Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise CPU GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz It is a bit pricey at 65$ a month, but one of their service staff members gave the following promo-code to me: It is FIFTEENOFF and deducts 15% of every monthly amount-payable, leaving this server beast at 55$ a month, which is financially sustainable as long as my dear users continue to click those ads that make sense to them. In contrast to Liquidweb the package I have at zone.net has 256MB more ram at a lower price. Also they have five datacenters to choose from within the United States in contrast to two at LW. I recently got to know while trying to sort out my German .de domains, that they run a special promotions campaign this summer. They got some cool new special deals this summer.

Zone.net Review
I believe in giving credit where it's due and zone.net definitely deserves one. I've been contemplating to switch to VPS for a very long time and choosing a provider is not only nerve wrecking, it was really really hard as the 'contenders' on my list all have really great reviews here on WHT However Zone.net have really made my decision easy. I have initially decided to go for wiredtree and plan to sign up end aug. But when I saw zone's promo ad and seankoons advice to contact sales for custom coupon, that's just what I did. I was plasantly suprised that they could accomodate to my request and thus I signed up immediately. My VPS was provisioned the next 1 and a 1/2 hr later but the VZPP link was not working. I submitted a ticket and was responded with issue rectified the next 3 minutes! another WOW factor! I've also submitted request for server hardening and this was done within 1/2 hr. Then I realized that the memory allocated was not as per agreed, so another tkt submitted and responded within 10-15 minutes. There was a misunderstanding, nothing bad but Richard the sales person have bravely acknowledged the error and honoured the deal and that's not all, throws in an xtra bonus. That gestures sure made an impact on how a company values their customers. My server now is up and running, accessing whm/cpanel is super fast and ping times are the best I've seen for a US based server. I'm in Singapore right now. By the way it'd be great if you guys can ping at your end (state your location) and post it here Will really appreciate that. Reply from 67.201.40.62: bytes=32 time=201ms TTL=51 Reply from 67.201.40.62: bytes=32 time=201ms TTL=51 Reply from 67.201.40.62: bytes=32 time=198ms TTL=51 Reply from 67.201.40.62: bytes=32 time=199ms TTL=51 Ping statistics for 67.201.40.62: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 198ms, Maximum = 201ms, Average = 199ms I'm in a midst of transferring all other accounts and hopefully it will run well. So it have been a very good WOW experience and with this level of services rendered, I'm here to stay for a very very long time Good job Zone.Net!

New Hosting At Zone.net
For those who cannot decide, I would simply like to say that after reading the posts on this site and making contact with half a dozen potential VPS hosts, I decided to go with Zone.net. To avoid a rather long shut down for maintenance, I wanted to move 20 sites in a big hurry. Though the folks at zone.net had their hands full with many other matters, like getting some new equipment up and running, they extended me the utmost courtesy, responded promptly to all tickets, and had me going within the narrow time frame at our disposal. I think the right word for their hosting is snappy, but for their staff and work ethic, A+ would be the right rating.

Zone.net Review
I've been with Zone.net since late august and I couldn't be happier. They always respond to tickets quickly and even called me once time when I was having a server problem to let me know how things were going with it. The only problem I've had was when I ordered two new IPs and they were installed wrong or something as my CPU usage shot to 100% and the server kept crashing. I had this outage for two weeks but they emailed me daily to tell me how the fix was going and ended up giving me a month free for my trouble! Brian and Sean are two great guys and zone.net has made a VPS customer for life!

DNS/MX/Zone File
When I view my servers hostname on dnsreport I get the following errors: Quote: WARN MX records are not CNAMEs WARNING: When I looked up your MX record, your DNS server returned a CNAME. This is an unusual situation, and I can't handle it -- the following MX tests may not work properly. The problem is: mail.fishsense.co.uk.->fishsense.co.uk. Quote: FAIL MX A lookups have no CNAMEs WARNING: One or more of your MX records points to a CNAME. CNAMEs are prohibited in MX records, according to RFC974, RFC1034 3.6.2, RFC1912 2.4, and RFC2181 10.3. The problem MX record(s) are: mail.fishsense.co.uk.->fishsense.co.uk.->67.18.217.170 Quote: WARN Mail server host name in greeting WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server.

My Review Of Zone.net
I recently had the pleasure of working with zone.net for a project of mine and I have to say that their attention to detail and quality of workmanship was at a level that surpassed my expectations. Their support time responses have consistantly been both swift (I would say no more than two hour response time) and elaborate and I could see that they knew what they were doing. I thank you again Sean from zone.net and the technician that helped me - I think you know who he is - is probably the friendliest and overall best support tech I have ever dealt with.
