Exim Mail Queue Soaked
centos 2gigs ram cpanel whm Anyway after complaints of "mail not being sent" I looked at a few things, found over 25,000 messages stuck in the queue. The messages no being sent thing is yahoo blocking me because of too many mails sent to their servers without a valid recipient. When I empty the queue it gathers about 200 mails an hour. Looks like it is coming from all over the world and they are using a valid ip from one of the domains hosted for sending. Bear with me I was reselling for years and this is my first real dedicated server. Reverse DNS is set up. I need a couple clues.

Exim Mail Queue - Lots Of Emails
1) What would you guys say is average in terms of the # of emails in the Mail Queue? 2) What steps can be taken to tighten it up? If I start with a clean slate, it only takes about a week or less for my mail queue to reach 1000 or more. Most of it seems like junk mail.

Exim Mail Queue Filling Up With Bounces
In my Exim mail queue, there are around 33,000 messages, all of which appear to be "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" messages. The reason for these bounces is because spam is being continuously sent to non-existent addresses on my domain.

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...?

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

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.

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?

Exim Queue Not ... Running
This feels like an unusually newbie question for me, but... I think my exim queue isn't running. I was born and raised on qmail :-) I discovered on a relatively new server that the message queue was backed up nearly a month with messages. Fortunately it wasn't a crazy amount, some were double-bounces, and with the help of exiqgrep I got it caught up manually in about a day on and off. But today it's obvious messages that fail the first time (ex: greylisted) NEVER get retried. Is this a missing cron job? Or command-line param for exim? I would think a relatively stock cPanel install wouldn't suffer from this but... where do I start checking? Code: /usr/sbin/exim -bd -oX 587 2008-03-09 04:02:15 exim 4.68 daemon started: pid=13511, no queue runs, listening for SMTP on port 25 (IPv4) port 587 (IPv4) [127.0.0.1]:10025 I mean, that seems fairly obvious right there, but I want to make sure I fix it the right way... in case this is merely a checkbox in cPanel or something...
