Remove History Command
Is there any way so that i can remove a specific command from history.

628 ll
629 cat bash.sh
630 man mail
631 exit
632 history

You see my history command displays output as this. I need to remove the 630 th command.
Is this possible ?

I can use history -r but, it will remove all the commands executed in the session.

Yum Remove Command
I had some issues with PHP compilation seems to be issue with zlib. So I decided to remove it. What happened then is something like nightmare...

The command yum remove zlib removed zlib + all dependencies without asking me what to remove. So it removed majority of packages including yum itself.

How can I force yum to not remove dependencies when I uninstall some package?

Cron Quit Working...
I have a dedicated CentOS 4.5 Server. However, as you can probably guess I am new to linux and managing a server...

Anyway, beginning of this month my crons quit working, I still receive emails as if they are ran but I can't get the scripts to actually execute.

I have not touched the crontabs or anything prior to them not working, they simply quit working... I did not notice immediatly they did not work, I am guessing that it was around the time of which I rebuilt apache to a new version of PHP. Today I tried changing them to "php path/to/script.php" and I also tried "path/to/php /path/to/script.php", neither worked.

Any ideas or suggestions as to how I can fix this?

Cron - Not Working - Apache
I did not realize the significance of the Apache sub-forum. I thought perhaps this would be a more general Server management query, but I realize now I should have posted in Apache forum.

I have been banging my head against the wall for the last couple of days trying to get cron jobs working. It's actually making me quite depressed, a lot of people are waiting on me to get this working, and for the life of me I see no light. I'm not a stupid person, i'm a PHP developer, and have some linux skills. This is the single most annoying issue I have had to deal with simply because I cannot find any troubleshooting methods to my issue.

I have tried every different combination of command under the sun and I cannot get any sign that the cron is running the commands.

I own a "virtual" dedicated server with a hosting company, I have full root access. Linux / Apache

The script file is a PHP file which simply mail() an email saying that cron is working, I am yet to receive this mail that was executed by cron.

I have ensured there are no errors in this simple PHP file, I have executed the script from the shell and all is well there..

So, firstly I tried to setup the cron table from CPanel, on the account where the script resides.

I used the following command combinations:
Code:
0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * cd "/home/username/public_html/"; php cron.php
0-59 * * * * wget [url]
with time combinations of:
* * * * *
to get the command to be executed evey minute, for testing purposes.

All these commands work fine when executed through the shell.

I set the mail address for cron output to be my mail address also.

I do not get any mail from cpanel with an overview of the cron executions.

I then gave up trying to get cron to work on that account, and decided to go root.

I logged into the shell via root, checked the cron table for root. I edited the root cron table (that contains commands for various cpanel scripts etc) to include a command to execute the php script, even with the script residing on the root directory.

I also added MAILTO="myemail@email.com" to the first line of the cron table.

I do not get any emails of the cron actions.

How can I check if the cron scheduler is working when I get no sign that the cron commands are being executed, and when I do not receive any cron emails? What methods are there for me to troubleshoot this issue?

Could it be possible that cron shedular is not active on my server?

I have lurked the net with great detail to find any method to troubleshoot my issue, and all the related pages I find are to do with troubleshooting the commands. I know my commands are fine, there is some other issue here.

Cron As Postgres User Not Working
I was hoping someone could shed some light on a cron related issue I'm having.

I've been using linux for a while...but never really used crons.

My cron is supposed to dump a postgres db in tar.gz format every minute (for testing purposes) but it doesn't.

I opened my cron in vim via:

Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ crontab -e
And here's the cron:

Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/pg_dump -D warranty_1_6_test | gzip -c > /var/www/test/postgres/backup$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M").tar.gz

Also:

Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ ls -lah /var/www/test/postgres/
total 8.0K
drwxrwxrwx 2 postgres postgres 4.0K 2007-06-14 12:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4.0K 2007-06-14 11:47 ..

Running the backup command via CLI works fine.

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...?

How To Remove Apache File Not Exist Errors
How to Remove Apache File Not Exist Errors

Here is the Reply of the Sys Admin

Dear Customer,

I am sorry. We are not able to resolve the File Does Not Exist errors for you. You have to do it own.

The unique errors that you have today for Apache are as follows:

I would advise that you resolve as many of these errors as you are able.

As to what caused the load on your server, I can't say. There is nothing in your logs to indicate the source of the problem. During the 1PM period when your server overloaded last there were only 29 errors in Apache. The errors that occurred during this time would not cause excessive load.

I have installed a script to monitor your server. If this load issue occurs again within one week or before your next reboot, whichever comes first, we should be able to determine the source from the script's logs in /var/log/sys-snap.sh.

IIS File Refresh Is Not Working
This post is a repeat of a 13-month old thread [url] that had no resolution. I am hoping that someone can comment on it as I am having the same exact issue.

Environment: IIS web server running windows server 2003 (runs both production and development.

Issue: When updating the CSS and then viewing the pagein a browser, changes are NOT being reflected.

Troubleshooting: Replaced file = No changes
Emptied Cache (IE, Firefox and Netscape) with Ctrl 5, closed browser window, opened new browser widow = No changes
Emptied Cache (IE) with Tools> Internet Options >, closed browser window, opened new browser widow = No changes
Checked 2 other machines (PC and Mac) = No changes
Checked multible browsers (IE6, IE7, Safari, Firefox)
Deleted file = No changes (still renders old styles even with no stylesheet on server)

Re-starting the IIS website is obviously not suitable for development (but does work).

Our IT guy said that I had to wait two minutes between loading a file and checking the website- and that no one else could hit that page in the meanwhile. Again, obviously not suitable for development.
