How do I get a cron job to run every
1 hour 10 mintues, so basicly 10 mins past the hour
Also
1 hour 15 mintues, so basicly 15 mins past the hour
Is it ?

I will wanted to know if hmailserver lets configure the quantity of outgoing emails it is permitted in an hour or minutes. I have found this:
hMailServer is pre-configured to have high security when it comes to relaying and authentication so that no one can use your server to send spam messages.
But I do not know if It refers to what I want or to an antihack or something like that to protect my server.
In short, we've tried for months to contact a client and he's basically fallen off the face of the earth. Emails were originally received by his mail server, but now they bounce. His phone used to ring and we could leave voicemails, but now it goes straight to voice mail. I have a weird hunch he passed away or went to prison or something. We haven't heard from him in about 45 days.
He has pretty expensive hardware that any reasonable person would want back, but it's eating up a lot of space on the rack considering it's unpaid for.
So here's my question to other providers: When a colocation customer is completely unreachable (phone, email, etc) and way past due, what do you do with their hardware?
And customers: what would you want done with your hardware?
My Nameserver and FTP went down 3 times for the past 1 week. Each time they went down, i need to restart them using WebHostManager. Is there a setting problem on my server as I hv been getting this error msg email from cpanel every day:
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.The hostname (server.etrendstudio.com) resolves to 208.69.32.130. It should resolve to 66.228.124.51. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
****************************************************
However, when i check my cpanel setup is stated as follows:
Adding an A entry for nameserver ns1.etrendstudio.com
Found your nameserver to be: ns1.etrendstudio.com
Found your domain name to be: etrendstudio.com
Found your nameserver name to be: ns1
Found your nameserver ip to be: 66.228.124.51
If this looks correct, Found your nameserver to be: ns2.etrendstudio.com
Found your domain name to be: etrendstudio.com
Found your nameserver name to be: ns2
Found your nameserver ip to be: 75.126.115.78
If this looks correct,

IS THERE A SETTING PROBLEM?
In what appears as an even bigger mistake by alphared and I would expect some legal action against them even more. Alphared apparently will be trying trying to charge for service while the billing system and everything else was down.
How were we supposed to cancel, pay or do anything if we didn't want the service? How can they expect to have people pay for service when some of us have already moved and paid for service elsewhere?
I had confidence in them coming back, but I will for sure continue to move away. They couldn't manage the company and expect us to pay for service when we had no option to cancel.
Directly from the chat:Me: This is in a general sense, are you going to be charging everyone?Jay Merritt: It would only make sense. They have been receiving a service and support.
What are the thoughts on that, you may have moved. But you may have some bills coming your way.

Need reliable hosting service..
I hd very bad experience with my past two hosters..
Indyahozting and Viscus Infotech..
so wanna go with some reliable n 99.9% uptime n Moneyback guarnty..
I have a blog (hindigo.net) registered and hosted through mydomain.com (Standard Windows Package). For the past days, it has been unaccessible most of the time (either keeps trying to load without success, or loads a blank page).
When accessing the site structure through FTP, all files are fine, and I can access the control panel without any problem.
I tried to get some info on possible server updates from the support, but their answers are not very informative:
- either a server update;
- or the site is working fine (it was indeed yesterday late, as I am in Asian time zone);
- or they ask to put DNS to NSx.MYDOMAIN.COM, while the hosting solution automatically puts NSx.MYDOMAINWEBHOST.COM
Am I the only one facing issues this past days with MyDomain.com, or is this general?
I am in the process of switching to another provider (Infomaniak.ch) anyway, but if this is a personal situation only (e.g. site attack?)
I've got two websites on my server.
As soon as I turn on site #2, apache starts eating up the ram.
After 30 minutes server goes into swap, and the sleeping processes starts increasing.
Reason why I know it's apache, is if I stop apache, the amount of free ram immediately starts increasing.
Is this a misconfiguration of Apache?

And they're still arriving to my inbox. When you look at the time stamps, it's failing every 9 minutes. I looked in the crontab and there is nothing running every 9 minutes. Not even close. But there's something happening every 9 minutes. Where do I look?
Even though I have set notification_interval from 120 to 120m. It might take the changed interval_limit from nagios.cfg.
I am receiving far too many e-mails and text messages in case of downtime at the moment. We're testing our monitoring servers at the moment, but we don't need a new notification every 25 minutes...
I recently signed up (just yesterday) with this company on the grounds of pricing and reviews. I especially noted the fact that they respond "in minutes" well. I have opened 2 tickets thusfar:

I am new to the VPS hosting game. Are support times generally longer than with shared hosting? Or am I just encountering some bad luck? To me, you should want to be impressing newly registered customers. Especially concerning support and when the client has stated VPS is new to him.
I am currently on this plan:
Managed
cPanel - Platinum
450GB 512MB 1.5GB 30GB 2 IPs cPanel: $44.95
Any others out there with quick support times (livechat?) and a comparable package/price? (price is important)
Our new server crashes about every 30',causing high high load(80!)
After mysql restart,everything its ok.

How long is a reboot issued through DirectAdmin supposed to take?
My server specs:
CPU: Celeron D 2.66 Ghz
RAM: 512 MB
HD: 80 GB IDE. Swap: 2 GB
OS: CentOS 4.4
Control Panel: DirectAdmin newest version
It has already taken over 21 minutes and the server is still not up or at least not able to serve any pages or anything.
I don't have a problem with Bluehost, but after getting this email tonight I would have thought that it's not that hard to have enough fuel and a big enough generator to last more than five minutes after a power outage. It seems like pretty poor redundancy planning if a major host can't last more then five minutes with no power. Hospitals and other places don't have any problem doing it with similar or bigger power demands.
Dear Bluehost Customer,
This evening (July 14th) from about 5:25pm-6:55pm many of our servers
were offline causing significant downtime for many of our users. The
outage was due to a severe power outage in the north end of Orem, Utah
where our servers are located. We do have UPS backup as well as diesel
generators, but at about 5:30 they finally gave out. The power outage
was for much longer than that period of time, but the reserve power
was eventually consumed in its entirety. When it rains it pours.
For users on box65-box145 there have been periodic problems with the
Redhat linux kernel that we were using that was causing problems with
the filesystem that your data is stored on. This issue has been causing
periodic problems for users on those boxes. In the last few days we have
resolved that issue which also caused those boxes to require a reboot.
The downtime is extremely regretable. We apologize profusely for the
inconvenience to our customers and in turn to those who were trying to visit
your sites during the outage. With the fixes we have put in place in the
last few days coupled with other upgrades you should experience MUCH
better uptime in the future.
Thanks for you patience,
Matt Heaton / President Bluehost.com
My entire experience with Gigenet has been very bad. I will post a 30 day review once I have completed my first and only billing cycle with them. This topic will be solely focused on the way Gigenet handled my server being down for 17 hours and 50 minutes. I have paid Gigenet for 30 days of service, one billing cycle. My account is set to be terminated on the 7th of June.
I pay Gigenet to actively monitor my server. These services are called "NOC Response from Monitoring" and "Host Ping (ICMP) and TCP Service Monitoring". The extra "service" cost $10/mo.
I realized that my server was down after 7 hours of downtime. I sent in a "critical" support ticket at about 3 AM.
Here is a timeline of my support ticket with Gigenet

Thanks...
* Note: I am not exactly clear why the time stamp and the time mentioned by me in the ticket don't line up.

I see that the date set was for June 7th and today is the 5th, I will need to speak to a Billing representative before I can re-enable this device. The Billing Department will not be in until 10am, I will leave this ticket open and I will speak to them first chance I get.
* Note my server is still down at this point.

Yes, because canceling my service two days earlier makes a lot of sense. I paid Gigenet for 30 days, I should get all 30 days. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?
Please respond so I can get to bed...

I understand your concern, but your server port was administratively shutdown and I was able to find the cancellation ticket. I need to speak with someone from Billing concerning this issue. This looks to be a mistake on our end, but I don't have all the details in front of me. I will attempt to contact my manager and get this straightened out. All further updates will be posted here.
It was nearly 4:00 AM at this point. I had to be at work by 6:30 AM. My server was still down, so I went to bed.
The next day I received this response:

Hello,
Your server should be back online until the 7th. We're very sorry for the inconvenience. I've confirmed the server's availability via ping from my workstation. Please let us know if you have problems accessing it and we'll take another look.
At this point in time my server was restored. The total downtime was 17 hours and 50 minutes. I monitor my server with a third-party service called "HyperSpin".
Seeking an answer to explain nearly 18 hours of downtime; I sent this response.

What is the reason for the downtime? Is 17 hours and 50 minutes of unexplainable downtime something that I should expect from Gigenet?

Hello,
Unfortunately I' not exactly sure what happened. I think the server may have been prematurely canceled, but I'm not totally certain. The server should be back up and I've put in the necessary ticket to make sure it stays on until the 7th, as you requested. We're very sorry for this inconvenience.
So, the best I can get out of Gigenet is that my server may have been shutdown prematurely. I don't understand why Gigenet can not fully explain nearly 18 hours of downtime. No one seems to know exactly what happened...
Do you trust in 10 minutes response time guarantee?
Sharkspace.com guarantee that for their clients.
We've had a VPS for just over a month now. I am not going to mention the host by name (yet) but they advertise here and other people here reported liking them.
Sadly it's not my experience and I regret my purchase.
Every morning for the past few weeks, we get load spikes every 30 minutes that make our site unusable for a minute (on our VPS, any load over 1.0 is sluggish, over 2.0 is virtually unusable, over 3 is unresponsive)
Here's a series of days as an example:
[url]
The worst part about this is the host insists 1. either it's not happening or 2. they can't find it
I know it's happening because when I try to load a page on the half-hour, it takes over 13 seconds (less than 1 second normally). And it's fairly obvious it's someone doing a cron job with some nasty downloading, uploading, or maybe a massive mysql update.
Someone tell me what to tell them because this is driving me out of my mind. The load is NOT being caused by ourselves, I've made sure all our cron jobs don't happen on the exact half hour and we get lots of traffic later in the day without loads.
Recently we have launched our new cpanel server, We have some problems on that.
When we restart httpd, all things will be good before 15 min, but after that, speed goes down to 1/10 and after some hours that will get as low as nobody can view pages on the server.
We are using cPanel latest release and CSF on CentOS4.5.
Apache 1.3.7 and PHP4.4.7 is running on the server with Zend.
i use the following perl script(created by me) to save server load every 30 minutes to a log file i just keep it running in the background(probably would be more effective using cron)
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(1) {
$w = `w`;
#print $w;
$w =~ /load average: (.+)
/;
$log = $1;
my ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year) = localtime;
my $rightnow = sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d ", $year + 1900, $mon + 1, $mday, $hour, $min, $sec);
$log = $rightnow . ": " . $log ."
";
open (OUTFILE, ">>top_logfile.txt");
print OUTFILE "$log
";
close (OUTFILE);
#sleep for 30 minutes
sleep(1800);
}
What is a good setting per user:
MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count
MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count
MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count
to avoid users hogging MYSQL 4.1
I have a P4 2.8GHz Linux box with a Gig of RAM. How many emails per hour could I expect that this server can handle per hour? I would of course want that the server has enough horse power to handle visitors to the web sites.
This is sort of a followup to a previous thread that I started concerning the limit on # of emails per domain per hour. The box came with a [cPanel] default of 500 per hour. Can I expect for my server to be able to handle more than that? 1000? 2000? 10,000? Do I need a more powerful server? I hope not - I just don't have the budget.
[ FYI - The emails are legitimate and not spam. I am sending out email reminders of personal events and holidays to subscribers that enable this option. ]
Does anyone know of any pay-per-hour VPS/Cloud/Grid/Utility/whatever other buzzword services that accept PayPal, since I can't seem to find any around.
