mailx in script

2013-06-12 Thread Frank Murphy
Every time azureus restarts (crashes out),
I have a script to send an email.

#!/bin/bash
mailx -s"Azureus has restarted" me@me.place \n
"It's probably crashed again."

Put in the new line as was getting,
a second mail with:
Null message body; hope that's ok

But, now am getting no mail.

The script is hooked into my vuze.service
ExecStartPost=/etc/scripts/azrestart # script has been chmod+x

exim is running,
me@my.place , is a different box, is set up in /etc/aliases,
newaliases was run.

Does not appear to exist,
but have /var/log/exim/exim.log and ~/exim/panic.log
neither show anything

Maybe "touch /var/log/maillog"

Tip from this list I think

If using "su -" regularly
add this to /root/.bashrc to obtain the root prompt in red

PS1="\[\033[1;31m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] "

Changed this to:

me@me.place


Now working, with no second "null message ..."

T.C. I finally managed to follow your in structions and it has indeed fixed

I can watch the other person's web cam I can't get mine to work.

You need to edit the sudoers file. You should find a copy that works

have admin privileges to do this, so if you can't su to root, you
will need to find out how to do that, first.


And of course, if you can do that, you don't need sudo.  To me, sudo 
is a fine tool if you want to give access to a few admin tools to 
people who don't (and shouldn't) know the root password. However, I 
can't see the point of using it if you're the person who installed 
Linux and created the root password.
For me personally, using sudo on a personal system is just best 
practices since I administer other servers; discipline if you will. 
Having done root and sudo at some point during my use of *nix the sudo 
is not particularly inconvenient.  If I have a few things to do as root 
I will sudo.  If I have several things to do as root I will su to root.  
If I have root environment specific things I need to do I will su - or 
login directly to root.  I prefer not to stay there any longer than 
necessary and for security my root pw tends to be, well... long.  As 
mentioned, it is the beauty of the *nix world.  Do what works best for you.


Adding a user I simply edit the /etc/sudoers file with vi with the + 
flag (so I don't have to scroll down so far) and add my user.

Terminal title doesn't change correctly

2013-06-12 Thread Steven Stern
Suggested by the sudo discussion.

When I open a new XFCE terminal, the window title is "terminal".

If I ssh to another computer via ssh mooch, the title changes to
"sdstern@mooch:~"  Typing "exit" to return to my desktop does not affect
the window title.

Starting clean, "ssh -p 12345 linode.sterndata.com" does NOT change the
window title.

Anyone know what's going on with XFCE Terminal?

Also, this is exactly the same thing I see if I use gnome-terminal
instead, so this is probably a Works-As-Designed. Help me understand the
design!

Right click on the terminal and bring up preferences. 

What do you have the "Dynamically-set title" option set to?

i did dist-upgrade swith yum since Fedora 3 several hundret times
even on a *lot* of production servers and "package-cleanup" is not
that hard to hanlde

no idea what is your problem to type "package-cleanup --leaves --all"
and remove unused packages as well as "pckage-cleanup --orphans"
shows you which can probably removed and if you not blindly say
"yes" if there are deps you do not want to remove this is
all really easy to handle twice a year

"package-cleanup --leaves --all" ha sto be used with care

the grub-configuration abd grub itself in the MBR is usally

harmless having an older bootloader and people who cae

what is installd as package is one thing, what lives in the MBR is
a different story - at boot time you see the GRUB version on top
of the boot menu (press some key or whatever, AFAIK they managed
to hidfe it from new users)

P.S.: you do not see my posts because i am moderated nd hey they
had no problem yesterday to reject a post but release poosts is
done at the next weekend or monday.

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /root/.bashrc | grep PS1
PS1="\[\033[1;31m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] "

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /home/harry/.bashrc | grep PS1
PS1="\[\033[1;32m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] "

results in a red prompt for root and a green for my users
and on production-servers i have as well as on backup-servers
different colors again since at least 2007 at this works well

well is your MTA running?
is "me@me.place" at the same machine and if not is /eta/aliases configured?
what says /var/log/maillog

mailx does nothing else than invoke the "sendmail" binary shipped with 
sendmail/postfix/exim

than most likely nothing has happened
did you test "mail whatever address" *outside a shell script*?

> Maybe "touch /var/log/maillog"

no - how should this help if exim is using his own log-files?

Title and label too.
Proposal for sync install menus, mutually:

  MENU TITLE Releases Install
  MENU LABEL ^Releases
- fedora_prerelease.conf
  MENU TITLE Pre-releases Install
  MENU LABEL ^Pre-releases
- fedora_eol.conf

Use inverse colours, then (black text on a coloured background).  Having
said that, I wanted to do that in the past, and it didn't seem to work.
