[CentOS] crontab problem
Hi; I have the following in crontab -eu root: @daily /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup- daily.sh @weekly /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup-weekly.sh @monthly /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup-monthly.sh [r...@13gems globalsolutionsgroup.vi]# ls /usr/local/bin/mysql-* /usr/local/bin/mysql-daily.sh /usr/local/bin/mysql-monthly.sh /usr/local/bin/mysql-weekly.sh These scripts worked on another server. The daily writes to: /usr/backup/database/mysql-backups/mysql-backup-dailys/ However, a day later, nothing is there. Please advise. TIA, Suzie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What up? How do I get an address to return?

Usually takes a second. Another very strange thing about this is that the contact page refreshes to itself when I try to email (through the form elt). If I pull the email send stuff out of the script where the form goes, it doesn't refresh to itself; rather, it prints what is written in the script to print. With respect to Kai's suggestion I find a qmail list, I'm sorry to say there don't appear to be ANY discussion lists for ANY email servers that are active. I'm desperate to get this working.

[CentOS] Upgrading Python with Yum
Hi; I have an old version of Python (2.4.3) and I'm trying to upgrade (to 2.6); however, when I try yum upgrade python it tells me that it's already got the latest and greatest...presumably of 2.4.3. I've tried yum list python and it only gives me the 2.4.3. Are there no others? Do I have to build from a tarball? I'm surprised I don't find a version of Python 3 either. In what folder are the rpms kept? TIA, Susan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Fine; however, according to python.org: The current production versions are Python 2.6.5<http://python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/>and Python 3.1.2 <http://python.org/download/releases/3.1.2/>. So, if "production version" == "stable version", as I believe it should, there's a serious disconnect between the thinking of the folks at python and CentOS. I believe 2.4.6 has been stable for about 5 years, if I'm not mistaken, and that's an advance over what CentOS is packaging. Needless to say, I don't want to run software that's antique, and I think that's what CentOS is promoting, I'm sorry to say. So, am I stuck with tarballs?

I've tried this: yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade python but that just told me everything was ok with the current installation, not what I'm after.

[CentOS] OT: Strange Email Problem
Hi; I have an email form that worked fine until now. For some reason, if I send an email to an email address at a domain that I control, I can receive the email TTW no problem. However, if I try and push it to, for example, this gmail account, I never get it. It's not even in the spam filter. What could this be?

Re: [CentOS] OT: Strange Email Problem
With regard to Richard's comments, I will get in touch with my server farm (or garden, small company) that handles the same. Regarding Simon's comments, these DNS packets have got to be teeny tiny. This is plain text and very little of that. Your response was full of terms I didn't understand and of course can look up and will if necessary, but I think you're seeing a size that isn't merited. I'll await your response before proceeding. TIA, Susan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
