Where the problem lies is that npm does not appear to store the PID anywhere on its own. Could we had that manually to the cron job? Of course, but that would not be universal by any stretch and we'd be left with a script that only worked with that specific means of starting.
This sounds like one of those "It would be really easy to do with an init/systemd script", that nobody has the time to spend working on currently. (If I did, I'd write one.)

Problem is, with processes that run via npm or similar, their name never appears and there is no universal standard for stopping them. Doing so manually is super simple, but in a script is dangerous and ill advised. If you are very brave you can use ps and look for npm, but if the server is running anything else, you might kill the wrong thing.
Doesn't 'cd /install/location' 'npm stop' work? Why make it difficult?
No, there is no stop script.
Well, bother.

This is sad, but what are people thinking???
Racing fuel? Sometimes, I just sit and think, "That takes a special person."

Right but since the controller I am using is for NL-SAS, would it allow SATA connections on the** rear designated **cachecade slots or would those be the same as the front?
SAS controllers will work with SATA drives. The drives should work on that count.
Someone pass the popcorn, The Register is always good entertainment, even if they never get the news right.

Just so everyone is aware, this installation runs from an Active SSH Connection.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to run at boot, without needing an Active Connection.
make a cron job with @restart for the "when to run" fields.

We use Edge SSD that we got form Xbytes and very ahppy with it. Sure SSD cost more but man they are fast. And like Scott said you can do RAID 5 with SSD so you get more storage than RAID 10 but still blow the doors of any spinning drives.
I wish something like this existed for HP.
I'm still looking around the site, but mainly I am looking for an Edge SSD type solution for HP (i.e. a fully supports non HP branded SSD drive that I can do blind hot swapping with.)
Ah, all I know about HP servers at the moment is that ServerMonkey offers used models like xByte does. Sounds like HP is just harder to find 2nd hand equipment that works properly, uck.

I have but it was way too long ago to remember any details. I remember it ran on Windows 98, is that helpful?
I think they only run things like MRI machines on Windows 98 now.... sadly not kidding.

Why either?
Because I can't concentrate as well without some noise in the background. Tinnitus sucks.

Anyone already tackle the issue of how to start XO automatically when the VM is booted? If so, what was your solution?
I haven't looked into this yet, but you could run a crontab job at boot that does this for you.
I always forget that cron can take care of that, rather than writing your own init or systemd script. Probably the best way to handle it quickly and easily.
@scottalanmiller Mostly for entertainment. The only serious show on his network that I pay attention to is Security Now. TWiET doesn't really hit it's target audience, but is normally entertaining at least. The other shows don't even make a pretense of having anything to do with the enterprise, or corporate IT.

If I undo all my iptables trickery, XenCenter and XO work fine if they are run locally from my home network.
If I leave all my iptables trickery undone, XO works fine if I run it as a VM behind the XenServer, except for backups.
My problem is that XenServer uses ports 80 and 443 for itself on the public IP address. I need those ports to run my web sites from.
Install a software firewall of some sort, and assign that the public IP address. Choose a different subnet for XenServer, and forward different ports from the Public IP software router to XenServer's 80 and 443. I wouldn't want my VM host sitting on the public net. Dunno how easy it is to "go touch the box" if you mess something up along the way, but that'd be the minimum to me.
This is a physical server hosted @ Kimsufi in France, lol. Physical trips are not an option.
If I snafu it that badly, I can wipe & reload the machine through their web interface. Once I get it set up right, I'll be locking down the ports for XenCenter, etc, to only allow connections from my home IP address.
I haven't tried this myself, but I bet you could get ZeroTier running on a XenServer. I might have to attempt that at work tomorrow actually, would be really handy.

Ever launched a D motor out of a 10 foot copper pipe with no nose cone, fins or anything else?
I had a Mosquito. It got launched once, it ended up in the jetstream. Wasn't much more than an empty tube with fins and a nose cone glued on.
I have it installed. Just dropped the forwarder on the firewall so far. So it alerts me whenever something gets by the first box.... no alerts so far (I'd knock on wood if I could.)

@gjacobse lol you joke but wait until you see what a 6 year old cell out of the explosion / fire prone MacBook Pro's can do. Maybe an 18650 for giggles.
I'm a little scarred of my 3cell 6000mah I have for the large quad. Got em all stored, and charge in those LiPo "fireproof" bags.
@JaredBusch If you setup a VPN, you should be able to just connect Site A Veeam to an NFS share from Site B. Unless Veeam recommends running a second instance of the software? (I haven't used anything but a trial, so I don't remember.)
