I was testing how the restart of daemons reacted to a shortage of mysql connections, so I drop the limit, kill a daemon, wait for new messages, then raise the limit, wait for the message count to quiesce and move to the next daemon. It works fine except for the bash blowing out junk from $() onto the console. I guess I am singularly cursed.
Maybe it comes from the ENV?
I never heard of the input generating shell caring that it was feeding mysql. I suspect the messages are on stderr or tty, since they cannot pipe through mysql! It is a very obnoxious thing for a shell to do. Maybe I have to take it to bash-dev-land.
Hi all...
I've completed the task of deploying SSH over my 400 servers.
I don't know if i'm right or wrong, but ssh doesn't do any command-logging, does it?
Is there a app i can use to log all commands passed ( besides the usual .sh_history), whith no modification possible by the user, and how... (2 Replies)
Hi, I am trying to recollect the command used to log a file.
We use this command just before starting, say, installation. At the end you get a file capturing the series of commands you used during the course of time and sytems response.
Could anybody please help.
Thanks,

Does anyone have a simple method of logging all shell commands typed by a user (csh in our case)?
- I could enable auditing, but this would be overkill
- I could enable process accounting, but AFAIK, this does not log arguments
Thanks all. (2 Replies)
I am looking for a really good command logging tool to improve the auditing of my servers. I have previously used snoopy but this is currently a bit flaky and causing serious problems for me, it doesn't look like it's been maintained since 2004, it didn't even want to compile until I added -fPIC...

I have the script shown below. If I execute it form the command line it seems to work properly, but when I fun it using the unix "at" command

Is it possible to store all standard-out of a bash script and the binaries it calls in a log file AND still display the stdout on screen?

I searched the forums for command logging and the user "Driver" seemed to provide a script for logging shell commands with related info like date and time. The subject was "logging command invocations -cmdlog" . I would be interested in this script.

BASH Gurus: Anyone know how to append continuous output command appending to a file, but limit that file to no more than 20 lines?

initscript
INITSCRIPT(5) Linux System Administrator's Manual INITSCRIPT(5)NAME
initscript - script that executes inittab commands.
SYNOPSIS
/bin/sh /etc/initscript id runlevels action process
DESCRIPTION
When the shell script /etc/initscript is present, init will use it to execute the commands from inittab. This script can be used to set
things like ulimit and umask default values for every process.
EXAMPLES
This is a sample initscript, which might be installed on your system as /etc/initscript.sample.
#
# initscript Executed by init(8) for every program it
# wants to spawn like this:
#
# /bin/sh /etc/initscript <id> <level> <action> <process>
#
# Set umask to safe level, and enable core dumps.
umask 022
ulimit -c 2097151
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
# Increase the hard file descriptor limit for all processes
# to 8192. The soft limit is still 1024, but any unprivileged
# process can increase its soft limit up to the hard limit
# with "ulimit -Sn xxx" (needs a 2.2.13 or later Linux kernel).
ulimit -Hn 8192
# Execute the program.
eval exec "$4"
NOTES
This script is not meant as startup script for daemons or somesuch. It has nothing to do with a rc.local style script. It's just a handler
for things executed from /etc/inittab. Experimenting with this can make your system un(re)bootable.
FILES
/etc/inittab, /etc/initscript.
