CRON Job Timing Out
i have had a problem for some time now, regarding my CRON jobs. I am trying to download a large amount of data from ebay (through their API, totally legal and aboveboard) using php, but my CRONjob times out. I have tried resetting the timeout variable, but then it exceeds the maximum filesize SO, my question: is there any way to have a script run as a CRON job, and wen it is complete, call another script?

Reboot Cron Job
VPS isn't rebooting by itself when it goes down. Anyone has any program/script that monitors heartbeat of the server? Like when it goes down, the program will automatically reboots the system. I know there's such a script out there but I forgot what it called.

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
This is on a RHEL 4 Box. I want to create a cron job that deletes backup files that are 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. And there are files older than 5 days in the directory that meet the find criteria.

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?

Colo Customer Unreachable And Past Due
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?

MyDomain.com - Hosted Site Down These Past Days: Any Other Experiences
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?)

Alphared Intends To Charge Past Due Invoices
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.

Apache Using Up 2gb Of Ram Within 30 Minutes
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?

Bluehost :: Is Five Minutes Of Power Poor Redundancy?
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

Gigenet - 17 Hours 50 Minutes Of Unexplainable Downtime
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 Quote: Originally Posted by ME - 05 Jun 2009 03:11 AM My Server is down. Any reason for the down time?

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

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.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something? Please respond so I can get to bed... Quote: Originally Posted by Gigenet - Posted On: 05 Jun 2009 03:55 AM 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: Quote: Originally Posted by Gigenet Posted On: 05 Jun 2009 01:43 PM 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. Quote: Originally Posted by ME - Posted On: 05 Jun 2009 04:14 PM What is the reason for the downtime? Is 17 hours and 50 minutes of unexplainable downtime something that I should expect from Gigenet? Quote: Originally Posted by Gigenet -Posted On: 05 Jun 2009 04:22 PM 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...
