@danp said in Newb question - Running a script from the root directory:

Is the directory in your path? What do you get from echo $PATH?

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/opt/scripts/:/root/opt/scripts

I've added it (twice).

Well first off you had /root/opt/scripts not /opt/scripts. Second you either have to log out and back in or tell your user to use the new path with something like

source ~/.bash_profile

I used ````~/opt/scripts``` initially, as I wasn't aware of just adding my scripts into one of the existing locations. (everything said just add a new directory).

By simply moving the script into an already existing path, I am able to update with just "script.sh".

When you are root and your home is /root and you put ~/opt/scripts that is /root/opt/scripts.

Remember that ~ is a shortcut to your home directory, which is /root

So by adding ```/opt/scripts/```` this would've worked, but would've added complexity for no reason.

No that still isn’t a default location. In the OP you said you put the script in /opt/scripts. Where did you actually put it?

Originally I created the directory /opt/scripts and put the script in there so the Directory looks like

/opt/scripts/script.sh

I went back and change the script location to be in /usr/local/bin

So in /usr/local/bin I now have script.sh

This now works without issue, and /opt/scripts no longer exists.

Ok ya that’s where the problem was. /opt/scripts is different than /root/opt/scripts. If you would have had that in your .bashrc or .bash_profile (or whichever shellconfigure you’re using) it would have worked. But you still have to let the user know of the PATH change.

I'm the user in this case, but I never really create / save my own scripts. I just got tired of running a set of commands, every other day.

Thus the need to figure out how I could run the script, without having to jump into the exact directory from which the script was saved.

I mean you have to let the user you are logged in as Know if the change. Either by logging out and back in or by temporarily sourcing the config.

I've logged out, what do you mean "sourcing the config" ?

If you change your PATH while you’re logged on the user account doesn’t know of that change. You have to either log out and log in again or temporarily do something like

source ~/.bashrc

Or the non-aliased version...

. ~/.bashrc

@dustinb3403 said in dhclient preventing network.service from starting:

Disabled network manager and the issue appears to be resolved. @Romo thanks for the help.

After all these years, it's still a pain in the neck.

@dashrender
It's a one off issue we have. We have all 50+ Sites running of an MPLS, if something happens and we need BT to look at a line issue then we are subject to OpenReach SLA's. So while they are down most stores have monitored CCTV on a separate BB line, so we use this as a temp VPN connection to a Draytek here that is on a different sub net range to my VM infrastructure. So when they are using the VPN and the route has been changed on the Core switch zabbix can't ping the MPLS Cisco router as the route now goes through the Draytek. So I need to static the route through the MPLS router so zabbix tells me the connection is up once BT have visited.

@scottalanmiller said in Vultr, Block Storage CentOS:

@fuznutz04 said in Vultr, Block Storage CentOS:

@travisdh1 So on second thought, I'm thinking it might be a better approach to redirect the call recordings to the block device directly, without extending the LVM volume to the block device. So it would be like this:

Attach block device and create partition and file system.
Mount the new device to a new directory (/callrecordings)
In FreePBX, point the call recordings to this new directory.

This way, the VPS disk, is still completely separate from the block device disk. In my head, this just seems cleaner, and has less potential for errors if the block device is ever unavailable.

Thoughts?

Yes, that makes way more sense.

The only thing that made me think of that was because about 2 weeks ago Vultr NJ had some issues with block storage. If they have an issue again, at least I could still boot the VM. (although I would have to remove the block device from the fstab. But then, It should boot fine I suppose. (crosses fingers)

So I installed Fedora 26 and selected headless virtualization.

When I connect to it from my Korora 25 workstation I get this warning:

virtualization was off in the BIOS....

@scottalanmiller

after reading my post again, I saw that it suggested that I was able to do this, but I was not able.

I really want something easy like this but it needs more research and web development skills, so posting it here encase someone that has that can provide easier steps and successfully accomplish this.

Fake Comment to make the post go back up and more people see it to help... corrupt comment.

Read this. especially if you're using the community version.

@BRRABill said in Linux: Using Top:

@scottalanmiller

But "respecting it" means nothing.

In WIndows, pressing a key for a function only does that function, or nothing.

I am taking about, for example, in top where

m

and

M

do two totally different things.

Right, an in WIndows it always does two different things. If you keep using it in places where both do nothing, you can make ANYTHING into "not sensitive". But that logic, nearly every letter on the keyboard does the same thing - nothing. So you just told me that WIndows isn't "key sensitive". See why that makes no sense?

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference:
http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/

if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything :P

both debian and suse have it.

@scottalanmiller said in Nethserver for FTPS/SFTP:

@alefattorini said in Nethserver for FTPS/SFTP:

It should work flawlessly, do you have any issue?

I guess a big question is, with Nethserver is.. does it "just work" or is there a setting that needs to be selected? Not sure if this is the default behaviour or not.

Mostly this. I haven't done anything with it yet and before I invest the time, I'd like to know if it possible and/or how difficult it is, especially since a co-worker claims that it did not and he went with IIS to get the same task done (and then he sat there cursing the whole day because he doesn't like Microsoft products).

Start with old Desktop with Virtualization extension, something that you can install OS and dont have to remove cause of free space or you need it for something else.

Cause learning Linux or Centos or anything else needs environment, and virtualbox can work but it wont allow you play with KVM, and thats for me the big part of the fun.

Also you need to keep learning that means its is process some day you will leave it 4-5 days dormat cause your stuck in an issue the other day bulb lights up mainly due to reading this site and you get back on it.

Added "Where to start?" here https://mangolassi.it/topic/13584/where-to-start

All of the RHEL/CentOS 7 stuff I've used has started at 1000. Identity Management sets users in a random range around 1,000,000,000.

@scottalanmiller said in Disk expansion - CentOS:

Can't wait to move to it in production.

I know. I didn't even bother installing it yet for testing. I'll wait for RC 2 for that. :)

We ran into this issue last week with several legacy applications we soon hope to commit to the bone yard...

@scottalanmiller

I think I got it working with Ubuntu LTS 16.04.2 currently installing the system will see how it goes, however it does make sense that OS needs to be in-charge of this.

@Ambarishrh said in Mange CentOS server updates centrally:

I have few servers which is not managed using cPanel (gitlab, sonrqube, elastic etc) and would like to setup a central update system. I've provisioned all the servers via ansible and initial thought was to just setup a yum group and just get all servers updated.

Looking at spacewalk now and seems like it has better options including auditing an environment and push udpates, along with a decent web interface. Anyone used spacewalk before? http://spacewalk.redhat.com/

If you are using a newer version of CentOS you should be looking at the Foreman which is the current upstream project for Satellite 6. It is highly integrated with puppet but they do have plugins for Ansible and other configuration managers.

Spacewalk was the upstream for Satellite 5.

@scottalanmiller said in Azure & "CentOS based" Compute node:

But in the past CentOS was there as a direct option. We used it and have customer still using it.

I wonder if MS will offer a base image again in the future with their new "commitment to Linux" claim.

Their commitment was never to CentOS. Ubuntu and Suse.

Ahh, missed that detail.

@stacksofplates said in CentOS 7 networking issues:

NetworkManager still creates the ifcfg files under network-scripts. So those configs will still be there, but should have NM_CONTROLLED=yes

Also, for some reason CentOS ships with both network and NetworkManager on at the same time. So that's most likely why you saw the DHCP for NetworkManager and the static file that you created. I always disable and mask network to keep people from turning it back on when they aren't paying attention.

So it looks like they took out the NM_CONTROLLED section. I must have been thinking of RHEL 6. But NM still creates the ifcfg files in the same directory.

@PenguinWrangler said in Simple NethServer 7 ISO Installation:

Has anyone ever used SME Sever? http://wiki.contribs.org? Looks similar to NethServer, not as up to date of an interface it appears but I have used it at locations and it works well. It is based on CentOS.

Actually, NethServer is based off SME Server:

That's the reason for the similarity.
