Hi larry,
I think your method is the easiest way.
I currently have below cronjob that sends the output to /tmp/backup.out
file. it is OK.
35 13 * * * root /root/scripts/backup.sh > /tmp/backup.out 2>&1
How can I then send this /tmp/backup.out to an email address.
Here's the one I created
[root@host ~]# ls -al /root/send_email.py
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 382 2013-07-23 15:18 /root/send_email.py
[root@host ~]# cat /root/send_email.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from_addr = 'r...@host.example.com'
to_addrs = ['myem...@gmail.com']
msg = open('/tmp/backup.out','r').read()
server = smtplib.SMTP('192.168.9.5', 25)
server.sendmail("r...@host.example.com", "myem...@gmail.com", msg)
#server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)
Should I APPEND the PATH of the script (/root/send_email.py) to
/root/scripts/backup.sh file. ?
I just ran this script (i.e - /root/send_email.py). It worked. I got the
email. But no subject there. How can I add a subject called " CRON JOB
OUTPUT " to the email receive .
Hope to hear from you.

[CentOS] How often is kernel "touching" swap partition?
Hello, I am going to buy new laptop with two drives, one SSD and one HDD and I want to place swap partition on HDD which will be most time unused and therefore spinned down.

Re: [CentOS] How often is kernel "touching" swap partition?
Thank you for you responses, first of all I need same amount of swap space as of memory, because I want to use hibernation. Problem of placing swap partition on SSD is not with too many writes, but with to much space used for nothing (in my case 8 GB, 16 GB in not so far future). I know about "swappiness" kernel tunable, but I guess it has nothing to do with how often is partition "simply touched for nothing" and therefore hard drive is spinned up. For example - if I set HDD to spin down after two minutes and kernel will touch swap approximately every five minutes, it means that hard drive will be spinned up 120 times every day (10 hours of power on), 43 800 cycles per year which will definitely wreck my HDD :-(. 2013/7/23 Jorge Fábregas > On 07/23/2013 01:22 PM, Martin Šťastný wrote: > > how often is kernel touching swap space > > There's a kernel tunable called "swappiness" [1] to control that.

Re: [CentOS] How often is kernel "touching" swap partition?
You know that you don't need a swap partition for hibernation? s2disk(uswsusp) makes a swapfile on your hdd prior to hibernating and only activates it for hibernation purposes, so you don't have to have swap active all the time.

[CentOS] What on Centos is wiping out my eth0 IP address every 5 minutes?
QUESTION: Why does my Centos 6.4 laptop keep wiping out my eth0 IP address? SUMMARY: a) I set the IP address of eth0 b) Everything works fine for 2 to 5 minutes c) Then, that eth0 IP address is (somehow?) wiped out I frustratingly repeat that abc process (over and over and over again) BACKGROUND: My home network has been working perfectly and there is no problem with my home network, nor my wlan0 WiFi access from my Centos laptop to that home broadband network. Inside the house, I never use the wired (eth0) NIC; but, I'm trying to set up a wired/wireless connection outside the house and that is where I'm running into this problem where Centos (automatically?) constantly and repeatedly wipes out the IP address I set on eth0. I can easily (constantly) change the IP address of the eth0 NIC back to what I want it to be; but that IP address only stays set for about 2 to 5 minutes; and then it wipes itself out (again & again). Why? How do I stop this? (All I want is for eth0 to *stay* at the IP address I set it to!) To give you more contextual detail, here's a typical sequence. SIMPLE BASELINE: Wireless NIC (wlan0) is turned off using a hardware switch on the outside of the laptop (so that only one NIC is in play). STARTING POINT: (eth0 has no IP address) $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 => inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link => UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 => RX packets:3139 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 => TX packets:3230 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 => collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 => RX bytes:2403080 (2.2 MiB) TX bytes:547895 (535.0 KiB) => Interrupt:20 Memory:f260-f262 I EASILY CAN SET THE IP ADDRESS of eth0: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 =>inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 =>inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link =>UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 =>etc. At this point, I can now connect a wire from the RJ45 port of the laptop, to the device (which happens to be a radio set to 192.168.1.20): $ ping 192.168.1.20 => PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20) 56(84) bytes of data. => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.38 ms => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.339 ms => 64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.255 ms ^C => --- 192.168.1.20 ping statistics --- => 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2954ms => rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.255/0.660/1.388/0.516 ms I can even easily connect via port 80 (using Firefox on the laptop) to this device, e.g., $ firefox http://192.168.1.20 In fact, time and time (and time) again, everything works just fine, for about 2 to 5 minutes, until, invariably, I lose all connectivity! What seems to happen is that CentOS wipes out my IP address that I had set for eth0. So, I lose all connectivity. $ ifconfig eth0 => eth0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:BE:C1:D8:E5:F1 => inet6 addr: fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe38:8591/64 Scope:Link => UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 I can repeat the process, and everything works again, for about 2 to 5 minutes. Then I lose my eth0 IP address again. WHAT I WANT: When I set eth0 to an IP address, I want eth0 to *stay* at that IP address! My question: Q: Why does setting an eth0 IP address only last about 5 minutes on Centos? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to *keep* the IP address on eth0 that I set for eth0? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

How does this look? http://i43.tinypic.com/n3lsnk.png The question is what to make the "gateway" since the GUI insists on having a gateway. In my case, I'm plugging in a Ubiquiti Nanobridge M2 radio/router, which is configured, by default, on 192.168.1.20. So, I set the eth0 of the laptop to anything on that same subnet, e.g., 192.168.1.100; but I don't know what to set the Network Manager "gateway" to. Q: Should I set the NM gateway to the IP address of the radio/router? Note: The desired connection is: a) Laptop sitting 300 feet from the house b) It's ok if the wireless wlan0 NIC is manually turned off c) The wired eth0 NIC is set to the subnet of the radio (e.g., 192.168.1.100) d) I don't know *what* to set the eth0 gateway to (192.168.1.20?) Then, a CAT5 cable is connected from the laptop RJ45 eth0 port to the one and only RJ45 port on the Ubiquiti Nanobridge M2 radio. At that point, I would ping the radio (at 192.168.1.20) over that eth0 wire, and then connect over that same eth0 wire with Firefox to http://192.168.1.20 (the default login = ubnt, and the default password = ubnt). Once logged into the radio GUI, I can set it up to connect to my home broadband router access point (or to a local Starbucks five miles down the road, for that matter).

The gateway would be the address of the device on your network that knows how to route packets outward. In my case, where we have some wired systems and some wireless, both managed by a home router at 192.168.2.1, the gateway for all systems is 192.168.2.1, since that system knows how to send packets outward, as necessary. your network sounds as if it may be slightly more complicated, so I'm not sure I can advise you, as my mental picture of your network is a bit fuzzy. > > In my case, I'm plugging in a Ubiquiti Nanobridge M2 radio/router, which > is configured, by default, on 192.168.1.20. > > So, I set the eth0 of the laptop to anything on that same subnet, e.g., > 192.168.1.100; but I don't know what to set the Network Manager "gateway" > to. > > Q: Should I set the NM gateway to the IP address of the radio/router? > > Note: The desired connection is: > > a) Laptop sitting 300 feet from the house > b) It's ok if the wireless wlan0 NIC is manually turned off > c) The wired eth0 NIC is set to the subnet of the radio (e.g., 192.168.1.100) > d) I don't know *what* to set the eth0 gateway to (192.168.1.20?) > > Then, a CAT5 cable is connected from the laptop RJ45 eth0 port to > the one and only RJ45 port on the Ubiquiti Nanobridge M2 radio. > > At that point, I would ping the radio (at 192.168.1.20) over that eth0 wire, > and then connect over that same eth0 wire with Firefox to http://192.168.1.20 > (the default login = ubnt, and the default password = ubnt). > > Once logged into the radio GUI, I can set it up to connect to my home > broadband router access point (or to a local Starbucks five miles down > the road, for that matter). > > QUESTION: > Given that the Network Manager is insisting on me giving it a "gateway", > what would you suggest I set the "gateway" to in the Network Manager? > > Note: I realize this may no longer be a Centos question... > > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - The Lord is like a strong tower.

Yes. 192.168.1.20 should be fine if you're only using these settings to get the nanobridge configured. But why not just see what IP, Gateway and DNS Servers your home router gives eth0 via DHCP and duplicate those settings statically? (presuming it's also the 192.168.1.x /24 network)... most home routers can be configured to reserve the same IP address for a particular MAC address (makes port forwarding via a DDNS account a lot easier), so those static settings wouldn't mess up your network if you didn't set eth0 back to DHCP. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I *think* you're saying I should first plug the laptop, by cat5 cable from eth0 of the laptop to the home broadband router, and then write down whatever IP address I get, the gateway, and the DNS Server thru it's DHCP assignments.

Yes. You might also be able to set the home broadband router to give the laptop's eth0 the same IP address every time it sees eth0's MAC address ask for an IP. What brand/model is the home broadband router, by the way? > [Note: I already have a WinXP PC attached to that home broadband > router, so, maybe I can get that information from it?] Well, you could... but all you'll get from that is the gateway and DNS settings. Note that setting the Gateway to match isn't necessarily going to make it use that gateway if there's no path to it (the nano would have to be connected to the home router to pass that traffic along)... you were asking what to put in that field so you could save the settings, and using an actual gateway IP is better than just picking a random IP in the network, in my opinion. > Then, I think you're saying I should take the CentOS laptop, instead > of using the puny wireless NIC inside it, I should use the eth0 NIC > connected to the 23 dBm radio and its 18 dBi antenna, so that the > laptop essentially has 41 decibels of WiFi beamed at the house open > guest access point, 300 feet away. Well, that would result in an EIRP of almost 13W, or about 30 times the legal limit for licensed HAMs on channel 6 and below in the 2.4GHz band, or 60 times the legal limit unlicensed, unless you use a highly directional antenna. But that also assumes you're in FCC land (I don't know for a fact there aren't Starbucks worldwide :). > Is that right?

If I misunderstood the intent, I apologize. Otherwise, you didn't really tell us any plans for it besides connecting to the Wayport Access network at Starbucks 5 miles away... which likely won't work without lengthening the Ack wait times - *at both ends* - for what that info's worth; most units will wait only long enough for the signal to travel between 400 and 1000 yards before giving up and resending the packets... (assuming they're even able to exchange enough packets to actually negotiate and establish a connection).

Well, that is a necessary evil, so, yes, that is the first step, to configure it. But, I'll take up that configuration elsewhere, as that's not a CentOS issue per se. Right now, I only want to know what to set the gateway to, as that is somewhat of a CentOS issue (regarding how it's set anyway).

Re: [CentOS] Fwd: When no MTA is installed, How to send an email with a cronjob?
@ Indunil Jayasooriya IIRC, in one of your follow up post, you mention that you have the Zimbra suite installed and running on *this* machine (which is why you might have had to remove the distro's default postfix in the first place). If above is true then you should try to figure out how to send the cron emails using Zimbra's MTA (which BTW is also postfix). Why are you trying to re-invent the wheel?
