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 Commands
I've been reading through tutorials for setting up cron commands via cPanel, but everything I have tried does not work. What I need to do is simple - I just want to run a php file on my server once every 15 minutes.

Executing A Queue Of Shell Commands From Php
This is following on from: [url] 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?

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...?

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?

Shared Hosting With Shell, Cron And Ping/traceroute

I'm looking for a shared environment where I could ping and trace to my equipment, either from cron or a background daemon which I'd write in perl, python, etc. I'd also want it located somewhere on the left coast or Texas. Does anyone know any hosts that would meet the above?

I am running a CPanel VPS and wanted to see whats the actual ram stats. (My package have 512 MB ram) The issue is, using two different methods, I am getting two different values. Via SSH, free -m gives this total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 512 204 307 0 0 0 -/+ buffers/cache: 204 307 Swap: 0 0 0 and while running a script that I have found Here in WHT Code: #!/bin/bash # # Revised 02-Feb-2007: include kernel memory (kmemsize) in 'used' calculation # and show percentages in output. # BEAN=`cat /proc/user_beancounters` GUAR=`echo "$BEAN" | grep vmguar | awk '{ print $4;}'` PRIV=`echo "$BEAN" | grep privvm | awk '{ print $2;}'` KMEM=`echo "$BEAN" | grep kmem | awk '{ print $3;}'` let TOTL=$GUAR/256 let KMMB=$KMEM/1048576 let PVMB=$PRIV/256 let USED=$KMMB+$PVMB let FREE=$TOTL-$USED if [ "$FREE" -gt "0" ]; then let UPER=$USED*100/$TOTL let FPER=100-$UPER else let UPER="100" let FPER="0" fi echo "VPS Memory:" echo " Total: $TOTL mb Used: $USED mb (${UPER}%) Free: $FREE mb (${FPER}%)" It gives Total: 512 mb Used: 482 mb (94%) Free: 30 mb (6%) Why such huge difference?? Also "top" command shows top - 02:44:04 up 1 day, 9:55, 2 users, load average: 1.35, 1.04, 0.94 Is that good for a a VPS with 512 RAM? (The site has extremely high traffic)

A Few Notes On Exim Commands
It may be useful to someone, sometimes the queded mail list gets gigantic because of some spammer and other emails that aren't spam could get deleted when using cPanel to control it. The better solution would obviously be to prevent spammers of sending all those mails, if you know a better solution on cPanel 11 please share it with me. ==== REMOVE MAILS BY ID ==== /usr/sbin/exim -v -Mrm (MAIL ID HERE) ==== LIST QUEDED MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bp ==== OUTPUT NUMBER OF QUEDED MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bpc ==== DELETE FROZEN MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bp | awk '$6~"frozen" { print $3 }' | xargs exim -Mrm ==== DELIVER FORCEFULLY EMAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -qff -v -C /etc/exim.conf & ==== FREEZE MAILS FROM SENDER ==== /usr/sbin/exiqgrep -i -f (MAIL ADDRESS HERE) | xargs exim -Mf ==== REMOVE MAILS FROM SENDER ==== /usr/sbin/exiqgrep -i -f (MAIL ADDRESS HERE) | xargs exim -Mrm

Executing ./ Commands Through Hackers Shells
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

Execute Commands From Script As Some User
I'm trying to write some scripts that automate the installation of a website with a content management system. This includes creating domains, installing databases etc via plesk API. Now we have it creating the domains and databases via plesk, this is not the issue. It's permission problems issuing commands on the server. I need to have the script install the cms and this requires writing files to a folder on the server owned by a user which is created with the domain. e.g. user creates timsdomain.com with ftp user name tim Plesk makes directory on webserver called ~/vhosts/timsdomain.com/ inside this directory is a folder called httpdocs. All the files within this folder are owned by tim. Now my script (running as 'apache' in a folder owned by 'admin') needs to write/edit files to this directory as the user tim (or whatever user was created when the domain was set up). How can I do this from a php script? My idea would be to log in as the new user and then start issuing commands but I don't know how to login a user from a script. I've tried exec, exec_shell etc trying to log in via script as the new user using sudo/su/suid etc but they all ask for a password (for obvious reasons) but I cannot see a way to send the password to the command with the script. Ssh? I don't know. Help Here's some pseudocode that demonstrates what I'm trying to do, if you can think of a better way I'm all ears. Code: //User Fills in CMS/Domain information which becomes Form_Data //uses plesk to create blank domain, create email addresses and empty database Make_Domain(Form_Data) { Plesk = Get_Plesk_Object(); Plesk.Create_Domain(); Plesk.Create_Database(); Build_CMS(Form_Data); } //HERE IS WHERE I AM HAVING TROUBLE: I can't figure out how to change the user so I can install files to a // different directory other than the current user's directory (admin) Build_CMS(Form_Data) { change_to_user(Form_Data.ftp_username, FormData.ftp_password); unpack_CMS_archive_into(user_directory); //eg unpack cms.tar into 'timsdomain.com' (if the above command didn't switch the current directory to users home directory) //initialises CMS config files and installs CMS data to database Run_Install_Scripts_On_Server(Form_Data); //albeit complex, most important part of script Confirm_Tim_Is_Awesome(); } Confirm_Tim_Is_Awesome() { while (getTim().has_moustache()) { echo "<em>You're still awesome. </em>"; } }
