A very simple shell script that rotates log files of lighttpd server everyday becomes zombie after executing via cron. If executed directly in the shell it just dies normally. Tried to add "exit 0;" in the last line but the same effect...
An important notice: the script stops and starts the server, maybe it dies abnormally because it forks a process (lighttpd)?
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?
OS: CentOS 5
Software: Apache 2 / PHP CGI 5.8 / suPHP
Today I took the leap and switched to suPHP, rather than the Apache module. This is just what suited us best for hosting our own websites, keeping them more isolated from eachother bar a certain shared directory.
All is great, apart from I'm now noticing Zombie processes all of the time. These processes do seem to go away though, if I watch top the amount of Zombie processes will go up and down between 0 and 10.
Code:
17471 gnation 15 0 0 0 0 Z 1 0.0 0:00.03 php-cgi <defunct>
17463 gnation 16 0 0 0 0 Z 1 0.0 0:00.02 php-cgi <defunct>
17467 gnation 16 0 0 0 0 Z 1 0.0 0:00.02 php-cgi <defunct>
Are these processes a problem, considering they do leave after a while? I've read up about Zombie processes and it would seem that as long as they are closing at some point, instead of hanging around, then that's fine. Is this supposed to happen in my setup?
I have 4 domains under heavy dDOS attack for the last 3 years. Someone included my domains in a virus that infected thousands of machines all over the world.
The infected machines request 4-5 specific files from my domains. Is there a way to block those specific requests, without affecting the others?
I am using shared hosting and so far 5 companies rejected my domains, after trying to host them for a while.
Having this problem on chroot'ed sites in Ensim.
This is what I have in my php.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
This prevents file.php.gif from executing in a non-chrooted site, but in my chrooted sites, file.php.gif will execute as a PHP file. Any idea why? Some other config I have to change?

So I need to execute a list of commands via a cron job rather than having the script 'wait' for the shell to finish processing (as this was leading to time outs and all sorts of issues).
I'm guessing the way to do this is to have my php set up a cron job to occur at some point in the near future (like current time + 1 min), then to prevent the job from repeating the next hour, it removes itself from the cron list as the final command.
Does this sound like a reasonable way to go about executing a queue of shell commands from the browser that take an indefinite (possibly long) amount of time?
I've been concerned about executing commands through (./) using php and perl shells on the server
a new way of hacking these days is using perl shells , even if the perl was terminated on the server ,, or was forbidden for users
hackers upload a (perl) program to the server to use it instead of the server's own perl
any way ,,
chmoding the (ls-cat-more-less) to 4750 seems to give permission denied when exeuting these programs on the server
but the hackers also found that they could upload their own ls-cat-more-less programs and use them instead of the server's
they also could rename them ls==>ki or anything and use them like this
./ki /etc/valiases -alXrt
and the commands work like charm for them
./ <<--- this command uses the sh program on the server ,, ((sh which refers to bash on most servers))
so
./ki
is the same as
sh ki
and
bash ki
so i tried chmoding sh with 4750 and that killed the exploit
i was concerned about cpanel's and the website's functionality
so i tried changing an accounts password and creating a database ,, they both worked fine
so ,, if u thing chmoding 4750 sh is a bad idea please let me know
and if you know any other ways of disabling all the perl scripts on the server
how I might be able to execute a Linux command by sending a text message to some email address? Where if that email address gets a message (either any message, or perhaps only messages containing some password), a Linux command is executed, e.g.

I installed apache 2.4.3 in windows server 2003. Since i did not get administrator rights in this machine i could not install as a service.
I runned as an application through the command line console and is working fine.

Is there any other benefit or drawback of running as a service or as an application?

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?
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?
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSimply wondering, does cron timeout?
I have heard mixed reports and can't find any good info. Personally i've run a cronjob for up to 6 minutes, but as my best method was sending myself emails through php, its not exactly a highly accurate testing method.
On the same note, what would happen if one cronjob is running a php script for over 10 minutes, then another cron job starts on the same script, before the first one has finished?
I have my own server. I create php file for adding cronjobs. I checked /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow. both of them is empty so no problem. I execute the php script but nothing : I check with crontab -u user l and it told me no cronjobs for that user. When I access as root from ssh and try teh same command, it works fine. I don't understand how to fix that.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it.
If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?
We are running cpanel on one of our servers. Several cron jobs were deleted from the cron panel of one acct. I have no idea of the paths to re-enter these jobs. Is their a log file on the server that will show cron job history from previous runs so I can recover the proper paths?
