if there is a good software for linux servers.. basically I just want to recieve a carbon copy to my email address of any mail that gets sent from my server.. any mail sent whatso-ever, via php or however it gets sent, basically a catch-all.
I am worried about spammers using my server to send mail.
I have been looking everywhere for a program that can monitor a process's CPU usage and if it exceeds a certain percentage for a given amount of time, kill the process.
Everywhere I look, it's either doesn't kill automatically, or is for Linux. Can anyone recommend me a program that can do this for Windows 2003?
Did microsoft require your host email them and say "[you] have exclusive sending rights for this IP"?
Here is the part of the email from microsoft:
xx, unfortunately, we have not received an e-mail confirmation from your ISP, [host], for your IP x.x.x.x. Please ask them to re-send the e-mail confirmation to [email] with the [id] subject. Please also ask them to include you on the "To" or "Cc" field in case that we fail to receive their e-mail confirmation.
Is this a requirement for everybody?
I signed up for AOL's junk reporting program a few months ago and I didn't have to bother anybody about it.
If I recall correctly, all AOL cared about was whether or not my reverse DNS was set properly.
Is there any script or program that can ping or load a page from a server on a regular basis to check if the server is still running?
For example using a shared hosting server B to ping dedicated server A to see if A is still running. Else B will send a email to the sys admin. Something along this line.
I've recently found (last 6 weeks) that the performance of my client's websites on my trusted host's servers isn't how it used to be and/or how it should be. The download seems to take way much longer than before. So far it hasn't resulted in a significant drop in average pageviews per unique visitor but it might do if things continue. The host claims a number of attacks on the mailserver and an unusually high load at one point in time. Above all it's just annoying - isn't reliable server performance what can be expected from a reputable host?
Here's the question: what's the best way of monitoring online how the web and mail servers are performing so that I can take this report to my host and urge them to take (more) action? Ideally I'd like to compare this with a seperate web server that I use for another client. I don't mind spending a little bit of money but high subscription fees are not in my budget.
What are the parameters, other than the tcp services(http,smtp,ping,dns,mysql), would you monitor on a server/vps to ensure its smooth running(free mem,disk usage,user_beancounter etc...)? if any, what is the monitoring tool/and the plugin that you use?
in the direction of a S.M.A.R.T client for Windows Server 2008 that matches as many of the following as possible:
- Lightweight - Free - Quite good
I'm not looking for one that hooks into explorer or even runs all the time. Something that runs periodically (shceduled task) and polls information, mailing / popping up an alert if it finds a problem.
Basically something like the smartmontools for Linux / unix.
Health Monitor Module is installed and running on server, but not visible under Server Administration Panel > Home > Server Health on Plesk Panel 11.0.9 update #7. Is there a trick to configuring home to show it and/or a direct way to launch view of server health?
the old server's hard drive is maxed so when i tried to use cpanel transfer account thing it worked, but obviously alot of things were missing
so now i need to transfer the rest of the data that is in his home account
my old server account ends at midnight tonight so I cant try to download stuff to here because my internet is about the speed of good dial up
so i need something that will transfer from one ftp account directly to another so my bandwidth isnt a factor
to me this is a technical issue ; ) im just a server hobbyist so I don't know much about linux commands to make this happen if this is possible to do on the command line
easiest way would be a windows based ftp to ftp program, and the one I have claims to do that but it wont work
I was reading through the reseller roles and responsibilities section, and I saw this bullet:
Quote:
Revenue commitment: Reseller is required to purchase a minimum of $200.00 per month from Limestone Networks. Reseller will be billed the amount of $200.00 or the difference in Reseller's monthly purchases less than $200.00. Reseller will have 90 days to ramp up from date of signed Limestone Networks Reseller agreement to $200.00 per month in purchases from Limestone Networks.
I then joined live chat, and inquired about what it meant and they weren't helpful. Is there anyone on this forum that is in the reseller program and can help me understand what this means?
I've seen everyone and there grandma promoting Hostgator. I was wondering if you can share if you're converting sales or not. I'm guessing the Hostgator program works if everyone seems to have an affiliate account.
