What is Linux command for compressing all the files under a Directory, as
well as all the files in sub-directories under that directory, so that upon
uncompression the files are created in the right directory and sub-directory.
Also of course what is the command to un-compress this compressed file?
In case: the Linux OS here is Redhat Enterprise and the web server is Apache.
Can anyone tell me a simple way in Bash to copy all of the contents of a directory (and only the contents), including hidden files, into another, existing directory?
E.g.
Code:
# I have this directory structure
- directory_A
--- existing_file
-
- directory_B
--- some_file
--- some_subdirectory
--- .some_hidden_file
# I want to end up with this
- directory_A
--- existing_file
--- some_file
--- some_subdirectory
--- .some_hidden_file
-
- directory_B
--- some_file
--- some_subdirectory
--- .some_hidden_file
# I *don't* want this
- directory_A
--- existing_file
--- directory_B
----- some_file
----- some_subdirectory
----- .some_hidden_file
-
- directory_B
--- some_file
--- some_subdirectory
--- .some_hidden_file
So far I've been stymied in finding a simple way to do this from the command prompt.
I want to move the entire contents of a directory tree to another directory.
So for example we may have a directory with 15 directories inside, each directory contains files itself. I want to copy all the files from the directory tree into another directory located somewhere else one the file system. I want only the "files" to end up in the other directory and not the file structure too.
Im running CENTOS latest version.
Zip the contents of a directory (/path/to/dir/*) and then include a file in that zip that is located here: /a/whole/different/path/file.jpg. Is there a ZIP parameter that allows me to include that JPG file in the ZIP file that I am creating? Can someone give me the command?
Also, instead of zipping the contents inside of the "dir" directory, can I zip the "dir" directory itself but exclude the full path when creating the zip (/path/to/ part). I can do this with the -j parameter but when I do it also excludes the "dir" directory and only ZIPs the content inside of it.

When i add the private key and certificate via plesk panel, i get the following error:
ERR [panel] Unable to set the certificate: Unable to put certificate file: Unable to arrange cert file: file_put_contents failed:
I have a situation like this:
There is a directory say, "Master" and inside, "Master" there is sub-directory, "Slave". A user who has access to, "Master" should be able to access, "Slave" automatically. However, a user who has access to, "Slave" should not have access to, "Master". Inside cPanel this type of protection is not possible.
I administer a busy forum and require a best backup solution.
(Servers are clustered and running Debian Etch)
Currently when backup script packs the whole partition using command:
tar cvzf /backup/webroot/webroot-(today's-date).tar.gz /webroot
But, this causes huge load on to the server and the whole website becomes unavailable during this time.
Since the number of files is huge, it takes around 10-15min for it to finish.
Now, I need another software or a way to limit tar's load on to the system so that the website doesn't go down during the backup process.
(dd would work as /webroot has it's own partition but I'm not sure on how it the load goes with it and also if it works with cron)
Do you know any good solution?
Also, right now all backups are on each server separately.
To clarify, mysql server's backups are on mysql server and actual files' backups are on web server.
As you may have realized, this is very bad as it won't protect me from harddisk failures and hackings.
(Hacker can just delete the whole thing and website will be gone forever...)
So, to prevent them from happening and also for central management of the backups, I got a server just for backups.
Now, I need a way to transfer the backups to it.
What software do you recommend to accomplish this?
(scp, rsync, ncftp, etc...)
Some of you may say R1Soft's CDP is the best but I would like to have that as my last option because I don't want to rely on another company when it comes to backups.
is there a way to look which process/user used the most cpu in last 30min or in last hour.

how I might be able to execute a Linux command by sending a text message to some email address? Where if that email address gets a message (either any message, or perhaps only messages containing some password), a Linux command is executed, e.g.

Perhaps via bash script.
I am wondering is there any software could offer auto complete feature for linux command? most linux need enter lots of parameters, if there is such a tool, that could be cool & great.

Is there any workaround this PTR issue? Also, is Parallels going to update the article and provide solution for Plesk 12?
Up till the last update Plesk was working correctly. After the latest update I can't send out mail in any form:
webmail, pop3, wordpress forms, etc.
This is the error message I get:

Your message could not be sent. The user spamfilter is not allowed to send email.
When I reverted back to the last snapshot before the update everything works fine again. But the automated update bot messes it all up again when it downloads the newer version.

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"

I'm looking to set up a schedulled backup from command line.

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.
Is there any way for a client to use command line mail in a script. Client has ssh access via chromed environment.

We have a plesk server running on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS machine. We check the state of the mailqueue with nagios, executing the "mailq" command. After the AutoInstaller upgraded our installation from 12.0.18 update 38 to 39, we noticed, that the nagios check failed.
After investigating a little bit, it seems that we found the problem:
When I enter "mailq" in the shell, the command is executed and gives me an proper output. But when I try to execute the command with its full path "/usr/bin/mailq" nothing happens, and I have to cancel with [ctrl]+[c]. The which-command delivers exactly the same path as written above...
When some jobs done via php scripts which use file get contents , page gives internal server error without waiting.
