Correction: to the account running the cron.  Of course, if the user
is root, then output goes to the root account. (thanks, Brooks).

$ man cron | grep -A2 mailed
   cron  then  wakes up every minute, examining all stored
crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the
current minute.  When executing commands, any output is mailed to the
owner
   of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment
variable in the crontab, if such exists).  The children copies of cron
running these processes have their name coerced  to  uppercase,
   as will be seen in the syslog and ps output.

Re: [PLUG] Suppressing shell script output to screen

[Robert Citek]

Cron will e-mail them to the root account by default.  Usually, I
redirect output from cron job entries to a log file so that I can
review/parse them.  For example:

03 * * * * /home/foo/bin/some_script.sh >> /home/foo/log/some_script.log 2>&1

The "2>&1" means redirect file descriptor 2 (STDERR) to file
descriptor 1 (STDOUT).  Since file descriptor 1 is going to
/home/foo/log/some_script.log, so will the error messages.

Good luck and let us know if that works for you.

Where does this message appear if the script is run from 
cron.weekly? The sa-learn man page does not offer an option for 
'quiet' output so I don't know if that result message can be 
suppressed.


Typically, cron output ends up in your system log (where, exactly, 
depends on your setup) unless you've asked cron to e-mail you the 
output by setting the MAILTO variable.


If you don't want sa-learn to emit anything, ever, then just tell it 
so:


sa-learn --spam /path/to/folder >/dev/null 2>&1

Any output from a script run by cron will be emailed to the user running 
the cron script unless you (as is typical) redirect it using somthing 
like:

25 1 * * *  /bin/elastic-backup >> /dev/null 2>&1

Or to a log file using something like this:

25 1 * * *  /bin/elastic-backup >> /log/elastic-backup.log 2>&1

[PLUG] Suppressing shell script output to screen

[Rich Shepard]

   I have written a short bash script to have root run sa-learn on my
spam-uncaught file once each week. When sa-learn runs it posts a message to
the console on the number of messages read and the number of messages added
to the database.

   Where does this message appear if the script is run from cron.weekly? The
sa-learn man page does not offer an option for 'quiet' output so I don't

Re: [PLUG] Is there a DNS cache in the Comcast modem?

[Chuck Hast]

They are all useless and in this country they have taken over most of the
network access in this country.

I now live in Oklahoma City, the two options I had were AT and Cox. I
tried AT first as I have been using them as my cell provider for years and
they have done me well, but AT Uverse turned out to be a real turkey.

The DNS was HARDWIRED in the router, i.e. there was no way of changing
it, the reason was that if you used their video or phone services the URL's
for
those services are not public so public DNS will not work. BUT I told them I
am NOT using your services just your network connection, I was told they
were
sorry but that was how all of the routers were set up, needless to say,
next day
that one was gone, I am now using Cox, at least I can use my own DNS
servers,
the router does have an internal DNS, which sooner or later I will replace
with
a RPi and my own DNS. But right now it at least works. I have replaced their
DNS servers with my prefered ones, so I am not having to go through theirs.

I would like to see more options, but they just are not there. Cox gets slow
when it is loaded up in the evenings, guess I will sooner or later break
down
and pay the extra $10 for the static IP and the better speed during high
load.

Re: [PLUG] Is there a DNS cache in the Comcast modem?

[Tomas Kuchta]

Sadly, it exactly (I mean exactly) documents any of my 10-ish calls with
the C company over the years.

The only rational way, I can explain it - C is like a cat - trying to be
cute when you feed it, but you/I/we are its pet not the other way around.
It will do nothing for you in exchange for the food beside showing up. If
it does not like your food it will move to a neighbor.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against cats. Humanity obviously need them to
feel good, and we are not that great pets to them.

 What the chat rep offered to do was "reset" the user's "modem" ... saying NO 
to that was a good idea because, "resetting the modem" breaks the connection 
and would effectively end the "chat" and any other Internet connection 
currently active on the user's computer and/or other devices, eh?  Or did I 
miss something?

On one occasion I was able to get the rep to bump me up a level to 
someone who knew the subject, rather than one who was following a 
script. I don't recall right now what the magic phrase was that got me 
there, but I ended up with someone in the US instead of India.

Because I obsess about stuff like facts and truth.

First, did you talk to an "XFINITY Domain Name System expert." at
https://dns.xfinity.com/ ?!?!?! (All sarcasm & snarkiness fully intended)

Second, it appears both Comcast & Google do DNNSEC validation.

Third, this seems to be a pretty good too that I found on that xfinity
dns web page.

"DNSViz is a tool for visualizing the status of a DNS zone. It was
designed as a resource for understanding and troubleshooting deployment
of the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). It provides a visual analysis
of the DNSSEC authentication chain for a domain name and its resolution
path in the DNS namespace, and it lists configuration errors detected by
the tool."

http://dnsviz.net/

It's non-SSL, so if you're having problems with browsing to SSL based
web sites again, try to go here and plug in the domain you're having
problems with.

You may not understand the DNSKEY errors, as neither do I, but if you
see things in highlighted in red, and red triangles w. exclamation
points, e.g. http://dnsviz.net/d/quacktopia.com/WVmoCg/dnssec/ , you
have a useful data point that a particular domain zone file has an error
and/or be compromised.

[PLUG] Xlib and displaying same image twice.

[Michael Robinson]

I have a simple Xlib program that displays a PNG file without a border
or title bar on the X display.  I need to display the image dead center
on the screen and about 50-100 pixels to the right.  How do I display
the image twice and how do I control the location of the two images?
This is a Raspbian Stretch default install I'm running, not Lite.  
What window manager am I using?  Is there a way to do a black 
background and no window manager at all?  When the Pi is hooked 
to a projector, the projector should not be displaying a background
picture or anything else on the standard desktop.  The C program 
should have the mouse and keyboard locked out.  How do I return control
to X if the program crashes so I don't have to power down the Pi and
power it back up without a proper reboot?  I need to do a release on
exit or something similar.  I'm working on a demo program before I
