I have other processes that require manual intervention, so checking only takes a moment. I would still use yum-cron to do it. Just don't tell it to install if you don't want it to. You will still get the email when things are available. That does seem useful. No timers to set like needs handled with dnf-automatic just install and edit the conf file. Installing it and configuring it now... If you do yes / yes / no it will even have them downloaded for you. not that that is much of an issue generally.

@dustinb3403 said in Need some help with crontab: Ok and that is what it was. Simply needed to make a bash script out of it and have it scheduled to run, rather than using the commands directly in cron. Problem solved. Solution: pwd /usr/bin/local touch expiring-alert.sh vi expiring-alert.sh /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan snipeit:expiring-alerts sudo vi /etc/crontab 35 * * * 1 <user> /usr/local/bin/expiring-alert.sh Presumably changing this to be @daily or @weekly would work as well. MOst of the time that is how I have it setup on my crontab, same for my certbot scripts too.

@black3dynamite said in Meltdown Shows Why to Avoid LTS Releases: What makes Red Hat and SUSE exempt compare to CentOS and OpenSUSE leap? Because we are paying for the support? Nothing makes them exempt, they ARE CentOS and Leap, just paid for instead of free. They suffer just the same.

@scottalanmiller Yh by accident today I was able to understand it better Fedora suffers the same fate as centos, and wants to error out but instead when it does not see the boot partitions it will error out quickly then check the next drive, and if it founds it it will update the EFI parition and add another line so it has fail safe method, centos wont do this. so the 1st entry belonged to boot part that was deleted and the 2nd as well, so fedora will keep finding them if you have them and it will auto update the EFI parition while it boots up and adds another line, so then you can boot normally. all this done in the background, you will just see an error fail for boot for 1-2 seconds they you will boot normally cause Fedora already written another entry. I am starting to like Fedora for servers (minimal install) and if I want centos I can use it as guest vm.

@dustinb3403 said in OpenProject Installation Troubleshooting.: eh. I agree, but I just want to see what it's all about, which docker will work fine for. Maybe I'll revisit once I have more time. Doubt I'll be much help even then though.

Two different things. Thanks

@mikah67 Glad that it is working! As a general rule, just do a yum -y update before starting an installation to make sure you are fully updated, regardless of which CentOS 7 version you started with.

Ya I also pretty much use Virt-Manager/Virsh. I have a bare KVM server and an OpenStack box. I pretty much use Ansible/Terraform to spin up new instances on OpenStack.

After asking the Wazuh employee I had been speaking to about Kibana 5.6.3, the GitHub repo was updated to include it.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

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)

@romo now there's a workaround if I've ever seen one...

@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.

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 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.
