View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know of a provider that has an Ubuntu Desktop VPS? I've got accounts with fsckvps and xensmart but they only have centos ones - I'll install gnome on of them if I really have to but i'd prefer todo as little leg work as possible as it's for personal use.

Im trying to zip up an sqlite database backup.
I execute this command
Code:
zip ../d/db/backup.zip ../d/db/09-02-15.sqlite
backup.zip never appears. Instead, I get some random filename in the directory. Like ziOHokOw
If I try to zip a smaller file(last weeks backup) everything runs fine?
Code:
zip ../d/db/backup.zip ../d/db/09-02-08.sqlite
So the 134mb file zips fine, but the 200mb one seems like its failing and im left with some type of temporary file. I tried downloading the weird filename and unzipping it. It has partial info like directory structure, the filename but the actual file inside is corrupt.

Particularly with Zend Gdata API (which GoDaddy has trouble with anyway) Is this reasonable to ask for? I also need at least 150GB/month bandwidth for some relatively high quality streaming video.
We have a dedicated server, with chroot access enabled.
We are wanting to backup each site on this server, as well as all mysql dbs on a weekly basis.
Is it possible for us to run a cron job to do this? If so, what commands would we want to use?
We have a local FTP server here, so would like to ftp these backups this machine.
I know it all sounds a little vague, but I just need to know where to get started.
Back in the day, there was a commandline version of 'ntop' allowing a view of live traffic stats in the format of 'top'.
Does a similar tool exist today effectively allowing us to figure our which VPS or IP address is under DDoS attack?
The only way I could fix this was via KVM access to netstat -an | grep etc... Not too
I got our server staff to install BackupPC on our dedicated server and run daily backups. All is well (from what I can tell) but i've come to a point where I want to actually use an archived file.
So I jump into my ftp client, navigate to the backup folder, and download the file. The problem is, the file reads as jibberish. I'm assuming that BackupPC has compressed it.
So the question is two-fold:
1. How do I decompress it on windows (command line stuff is well beyond me)
2. Is there any browser/windows apps that I can use to manage the backups?

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow can i remotly( SSH) figure out what kind of raid controller is on my system?!
and how many harddisks my system has and what size?!
I am working on Linux( Centos4)
if i do
#df -h
then i get 146 G
so if my system has raid1, does it mean that the harddisk is 2 X 146 G?
or i should actually see it as 146 / 2?
Is there any safe way to grant command line permissions to a user/specific account? One that only allows them access to databases on their account.
The problem is that this user intermittently runs queries that cause their database to hang (including PHPMyAdmin, so they can't view the processlist through there), and I have to manually kill that process, because they can't.
Server is 2.4.21 with MySQL 4.0.27, admin is cPanel WHM.
I'm using this script as a cron to generate DKIM keys for the domains I have. It's an easy script. And it does it's job just OK. I have the necessary software installed and configured.
The way it works is:
The script check if the domain in queue has a record for it. If it doesn't, OpenDKIM generates a one time DKIM record for mail._domainkey that I am entering to my dns records for all the domains I have.
After creating the DKIM record, it checks and deletes mail._domainkey records if there's any. Then adds the generated DKIM to plesk dns zones and disables/enables greylisting to create the appropriate dns entry.
If it does have a DKIM recors on the hdd already, then it removes
mail._domainkeyand
TXT o=-entries.
After that it basically adds the already generated DKIM record and it disables/enables the greylisting for each domain in order to recreate "TXT o=-"
Up till here, it works fine. I can see these entries when I check the DNS Settings. They are there.
But whenever I run this script either via cron or manually, I get an error message on my panel: (You can check the screenshot as well)
Code:
Warning: The DNS zone was modified. If you would like to apply DNS template changes to this zone, either click the 'Apply DNS Template Changes' button on this page or choose the 'Apply the changes to all zones' option in Server Administration Panel > Tools & Settings > DNS Template Settings > Apply DNS Template Changes.
And unless I manually click "Apply DNS Template Changes" for EVERY SITE it doesn't go away.
So, I was wondering, is there a way to scriptize that command? Or how to prevent it?
This is the command I use to generate DKIM and add it to Plesk database, also if any such record exists, delete and re-write it:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ADMIN_PASS=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`
MYSQL_BIN_D=`grep MYSQL_BIN_D /etc/psa/psa.conf | awk '{print $2}'`
mysql="${MYSQL_BIN_D}/mysql -N -uadmin -p${ADMIN_PASS} psa"
query="select name from domains;"
domains=`echo $query | $mysql `
for i in ${domains}; do
echo "Processing $i"
[Code] ....
I'm looking to set up a schedulled backup from command line.
I haven't found the correct command, could you tell me if it's possible and how ?
Additional question: I'm looking too, to set for the server the max number backup file to save, do you know how to do it from cli ?
Is there a command line way of removing Plesk backups?
I'm looking for the command line equivalent of these steps: Log into Plesk as the server admin > "Tools & Settings" > "Tools & Resources" > "Backup Manager" > check a backup and click "Remove".
We have a script that copies the contents of "/var/lib/psa/dumps/" to Amazon S3 for long-term storage of backups. It runs nightly after a scheduled Plesk backup. Once that script completes successfully, we'd like to delete the Plesk backup to free up disk space. We have Plesk's "Maximum number of backups in the repository" set to 1.
But Plesk appears to keep that backup around while creating a new backup (which makes some sense). This is causing us trouble because the server does not have enough disk space for two backups. As a temporary solution, I'm manually deleting the backup each day through the Plesk admin, but would like to automate it if possible. If automation is overly complex/risky, we'll look at upping our disk space instead.

I just recently logged into my user email account "the one which was created by the name of the user of the account" and found it had 8000 emails but none are showing up in either horde or squirrelmail. How can i delete all these emails without deleting the other bla@domain.com emails? Is there a way just to clear a specific email account in cpanel or a command line way. I think if i just delete the mail folder it would kill all the emails of that account and I just want to 'reset' that one.

What command line do you use to detect account storing music/video?
What command line do you search for file that is greater than 1MB?
