Re: [gentoo-user] crontab entry
Quoting Kaushal Shriyan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
so according to your suggestion where does this line fits cat
/tmp/file|mailx -s my subject [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in my above bash script
Dirk gave a lovely one-liner, but my guess is you'll get sick of
having to actually check the body of the e-mail to know whether there
is a problem, so you could also put the system call to mailx in the
if-then-else-fi and indicate in the subject line whether it is a
success or failure.
Also, you want to cut out the echo or else cron will send an e-mail
(remember cron sends an e-mail if there's any output from the
command), which is redundant now that you're calling mailx.
Finally, note that you left a '' out of your rsync call. It's fixed below.
#!/bin/bash
#rsync mysql database shell script
#author kaushal
#created on 21/03/2008
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
if rsync -av /var/lib/mysql [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/ \
/tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log 21
then
cat /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log | \
mailx -s Success: hostxx:yyDB refresh daily [EMAIL PROTECTED]
else
cat /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log | \
mailx -s Error: hostxx:yyDB refresh daily [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fi
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
-Collin

Run rsync through a script that tests the exit value, then prints an
error message if the exit value is not equal to 0 and nothing
otherwise. Run the script from cron and it will send you an e-mail if
there is a problem.
In bash, $? is the exit value of the last command. This is a bit
verbose, but you could put the following in rsync-host77.sh:
#!/bin/bash
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log
EXITVALUE=$?
if [[ ${EXITVALUE} -ne 0 ]]
then
echo Error: rsync exited with status ${EXITVALUE}
echo
echo Please check the file rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log for errors.
fi
To find exit values and their corresponding meanings, search for EXIT
VALUES in
http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/rsync.1.php
Hope this helps,

Re: [gentoo-user] rsync script
Quoting Kaushal Shriyan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Correct me if i am wrong please. I want to understand your script
step 1 : put the above code in text file and name it as rsync-host77.sh in
the folder /home/kaushal in the machine where rsync command will execute
step 2 :
cd /home/kaushal
$crontab -e
0 18 * * * rsync -host77.sh
If i want to run the rsync script at 6 pm everyday
Also where will the rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log file will be located, I believe
it will be in /home/kaushal folder. Lets say if i have to put
rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log in /tmp folder
then the above rsync line would look like
rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log
is that correct what i understand from your email
You are correct, sir! You must also, of course, be sure to chmod u+x
rsync-host77.sh.
Note that if you want an e-mail on either success or failure (your
original post seemed to indicate this might be the case) bash
understands if-then-else-fi.
Cheers,
-Collin

[gentoo-user] Bizarre SSH connection reset
To preface the question, I should mention that I'm currently residing in China, so communication with the networking guys on this end is a bit difficult because the communication algorithm typically begins, Step 1: Learn Chinese. I am having difficulties with getting bumped out of an SSH connection from a server in the U.S. with Connection reset by peer maybe 5-10 seconds after logging in. It *only* occurs in my apartment; i.e., when I go to a local wifi hotspot, I have no difficulties whatsoever. So I don't think it's coming from my end, and I don't think it's coming from the server I'm logging in to. Some details: 1) To ensure that I'm not having problems with keepalives, I configured SSHD on the other end very liberally (with some impressively fast typing, if I do say so myself). In sshd_config, I have TCPKeepAlive no ClientAliveInterval 15 ClientAliveCountMax 12 2) I then set ethereal running. Just as I got bumped, it indicated SourceDestination Protocol Info (the server) (my laptop) TCP 22 1259 [RST, ACK] Seq=5357 Ack=4037 Win=63856 Len=0 I'm not a networking guy, but I think that means a reset packet is being sent, ostensibly from the server. 3) When I get bumped, ssh -vvv gives the following debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1 debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open: #0 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 fd 4/5 cfd -1) debug3: channel 0: close_fds r 4 w 5 e 6 c -1 Read from remote host www.bogusdomain.com: Connection reset by peer Connection to www.bogusdomain.com closed. debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 126 bytes in 17.1 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 7.4 debug1: Exit status -1 If the reset is not coming from the server or the client (I don't have any problems when I'm at a hotspot), where could it be coming from?

Re: [gentoo-user] Bizarre SSH connection reset
Quoting Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I would argue that your Chinese domain is blacklisted due to exhaustive number of owned MSWindows boxen and botnets that ping the rest of us without respite, from China. I really wish their step 1 was learn how to protect your PC, even if it runs an illegitimate Mickey Mouse OS. /sarcasm You're not whistlin' Dixie ... every USB stick I've ever been handed in China has a virus on it. Are you using the same NIC on the laptop? If yes, then the issue could be related to your router configuration., but my money is on your keepalive settings. See if my suggestions above help. Thanks. I'll give it a shot. -Collin -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

What kind of connection filtering allows a connection to go through for 5 seconds, then resets it? I've been wondering the same thing. Typically, one wouldn't even expect to get through in the first place if there were filtering. The Great Firewall of China works by immediately sending hangup packets to both sides, spoofing they're coming from the appropriate party. But typically that happens the instant you try to establish a connection. Moreover, because I can get in from the local hotspot, I wouldn't imagine it's a Great Firewall issue. Some ISPs and the university campus (I believe I'm going through the local university's ISP) do their own filtering, but I can't imagine why a 5-second rule would be implemented. -Collin -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
