Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Rhel upgrade - pre maintenance checklist Post 302891376 by mkeyes001 on Wednesday 5th of March 2014 10:52:05 AM

I have daily incrementals and weekly full backs that run on these systems, so all pertinent information is saved.

I only asked the question to get a feel for what everybody else does when performing these types of maintenances, as far as easy to fix stuff that may have been lost during a reboot. like mounted filesystems not in fstab or non-static routes. Others have access to these servers and sometimes they make on the fly changes without realizing the impact of a reboot. Only to come to me the next day asking why this isn't working anymore. Then I have to go track down what they did 6 months ago and fix it. PITA made easier with saved pre/post maintenance config files.

mlmmj-maintd(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   mlmmj-maintd(1)

NAME
mlmmj-maintd - maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir -d: Full path to directory with lists -L: Full path to list directory -F: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only. DESCRIPTION
This is the program doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list. It will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough, send out bounce probes, resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relayhost, clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription, resend list mails and clean up leftover files etc. If a directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance run in every listdir below the specified one. Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time. It will run as a daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which case it just runs once. The -F option should be used when one wants to avoid running another daemon, and use e.g. cron to control it instead. In case cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or so. An example crontab entry: 0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /path/to/list AUTHORS
