I'm trying to install scripts I wrote years ago to do my MySQL backups. You probably don't want to do your MySQL backups only at boot time. I think what you really need is to look at crontab's documentation. Unless your MySQL backup scripts themselves behave like deamons and do their own cron-like behaviour. There are really only two main flavors of UNIX/Linux boot methods/schools. The BSD school and the SYS V school. *Most* Linux distros (including RedHat's) favor the SYS V school: little scripts in /etc/init.d (or /etc/rc.d/init.d, depending on the vintage), with symlinks in /etc/rcN.d/. The BSD school has a set of scripts for each run level. I *think* Slackware uses this method (just because Slackware likes to be different). As for pointing me to the docs, I looked through them but couldn't make heads or tails of them. Yes, I need to study them, but right now I just need to get some basic things working so that I can make a little money and put food on the table :) I've loaded my scripts to /etc/rc.d/init.d Now how do I schedule my cron jobs? Cron job scripts don't go in /etc/rc.d/init.d!. You can (should!) put them someplace else. It does not really matter where (but should be someplace sensable). You schedule them using crontab -- there are TWO manpages you should read: man 1 crontab (using the command to list or edit a crontab file) AND man 5 crontab (format of the entries in the file). Read *both* pages carefully. Thank you. V ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

TP ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos A great reason for a popular list like this is if a person doesn't know what they are looking for, or they do but their searches are not producing other options, the list can provide those other helpful resources. I've done this, too. I either ask about what I know and see what options people give that even searching wouldn't have normally revealed, or openly ask what I don't fully know about and that can also lead to good answers - even if google and other search engines provide answers. Sometimes search engines just don't produce what someone is looking for - but people do, or can help. Finally, it can be helpful to have a human response from a list to validate the usefulness of something found - is it good/legit, or problematic (old, malicious, whatever). Just my experiences.

Well, you all pointed me to some documentation that was hardly worthy of the name. In fact, I'd dare say that vsftp stands for Very SansDocs FTP.

Start by indicating what docs you have looked and what is it that you didnt find. Again, I googled this. man vsftpd has virtually nothing. Googling vsftpd docs gives about as much.

selinux must be off because I moved the whole folder to a backup.
Regarding running index.py, how? I tried this:
python index.py
and it just printed the whole thing to screen. But I can't image how there
would be an indent error. (1) This exact file without edit displays fine on
another server. (2) I copied the whole thing and pasted it into test.py. I
can't explain the size difference.

No, you don't. Either the echo, or the setenforce command will change it.
Rebooting probably turned SELinux back on again. Run the setenforce
permissive command again and then try.

Re: [CentOS] Serious Privileges Problem: Second Post!
Adding python debugging to apache revealed an import error. The strange thing is that when I load the exact lines of code in the command line python interpreter, it has no trouble importing the class in question. With respect to the dos question, I've uploaded this exact code in its exact format (*.py files) to another server where it serves just fine. I can't find where to get dos2unix, but do I need it?

I moved /etc/selinux/config to /etc/selinux/config.BAK and created an empty folder to replace it. Then I rebooted the server. It's been a while, but now I remember what a dos file looks like in a unix environment. No, these files look like unix files (without the carets and crap).

[CentOS] vsFTP Question
Hi; Now that it's installed, how do I start it and add a user? I can hardly believe there is *no* documentation! TIA, Victor ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] vsFTP Question
Well, man vsftpd: VSFTPD(8) BSD System Managerâs Manual VSFTPD(8) NAME vsftpd - Very Secure FTP Daemon SYNOPSIS vsftpd [configuration file] DESCRIPTION vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a âsuper-serverâ Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections. OPTIONS An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line. This configuration file has to be owned by root. The default configu- ration file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. SEE ALSO vsftpd.conf(5) BSD March 8, 2001 BSD ( Great. What does that say? Where are my flags? How do I issue a command to start the service? man service: NAME service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. FILES /etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO chkconfig(8), ntsysv(8) Jan 2006 service(8) (END) And what exactly does that tell me? What is my command? What are my options? Lots of stuff online?
