If you know what TCP port the server should be listening to connections on, you could telnet to that port.

For example from the server running WebLogic:
telnet localhost PORTNUMBER

I'm in the field and I don't really have any certifications to speak of. I did some extensive Solaris sanctioned training courses a few years ago to get a serious hold on an enterprise UNIX OS.

This may have come from ZazzyBob at some point, but I've been using it for a while.


In Linux this example shows the 10 largest in /opt. Change /opt to suit.

Here is how I do mine with the slash in the username, the quotes around the variable seem to take care of the issue.


HOST='ipaddress'
USER='domain\username'

Another option is to emerge the "screen" package.

I use it often.

ssh into your host:

#screen bash
#yourcommand.sh &
#screen -d
#exit
#exit

And it will continue to run.

My solution to this was to write a shell script trigger file monitor.

Every minute via cron the script checks for a trigger file containing the command or script to run, if the file is there, it...

Another option is using "expect".

I haven't rebuilt yet, but it's slated to be done in the near future.

There is actually no difference at all between this system and the others. They all perform the same function, are from the...

Cool question and a cool answer. I didn't know of this. Thanks to both of you. :)

I've always done:

uuencode myfile myfile.mail | mail -s "myfile" address@domain.com

Freaky, I haven't run into this one before yet. Thanks again Vgersh. All kinds of fun toys. :)

Here is what I have now, which is working well. I'm using ssh as a test of the menu. Once I log into the server I choose, and then logout, it doesn't redraw the menu choices again for the next...

This is also awesome. :)

That's awesome vgersh, thank you very much. :)

Hello all,

I have the below script and I'm a little stuck on the best way to continue.

Essentially I'm creating a text file (systems.txt) with a list of servers in it by hostname. Then I would...

This is a good point, but I really do not have thousands of cron jobs running on this machine. There is a maximum of 6 or so and they all run with a reasonable amount of time in between each other.

This checks out BTW. They're a match.

No I have not, this is an excellent idea. I'll make sure I do this first thing tommorow. Thank you. :)

Fortunately for me too it is only a testing system, but the fact that I've had no luck getting to the root cause is a bit frightening. :)

Just a little bump to see if anyone has any ideas on this. I've yet to find any information on it. I assume many people were on holiday this past week when I posted this. Thanks guys. :)

Hey all,

I have a box running SUSE SLES 8 and in the past few months the box will randomly spawn thousands of instances of /USR/SBIN/CRON to the point where the box will lock up entirely. Upwards...

Root absolutely has access to those files.

You can in fact use passwords and IDs in a script as you suggest, but I would highly discourage it. There is always the possibility that the wrong...

This is also good advice if you'd like to use the GUI.

It's all good. Enjoy. :)

Try:
