detecting boot order
by Mark Belanger 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Given that I have a machine with possibly multiple disks, each of which is bootable(has an MBR).... Is there a command that will query the BIOS and tell me which disk is the default boot disk. BTW - this is x86. The goal is to remotely reboot the workstation into the desired disk(which contain different centos versions). tia, -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

Webalizer displays wrong year
by Jussi Hirvi 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

I just run webalizer manually on an Apache log, like I have done many times before. Some new statistics were created, but for "August 2006" instead of "August 2008". I cannot figure why! Because of my mistake, the webalizer statistics for this site have not been updated since February. Now I tried to update them for the first time - with the results I described above. The system clock is in correct time (2008). The dates printed in Apache logs are correct (2008). Webalizer, when it is run, creates these new files (note the wrong year): > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 569 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.hist > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 127507 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.current > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 2957 Aug 29 10:57 usage.png > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 137863 Aug 29 10:57 usage_200608.html > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 10190 Aug 29 10:57 index.html > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 2178 Aug 29 10:57 hourly_usage_200608.png > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 3900 Aug 29 10:57 daily_usage_200608.png On Webalizer page index.html, the new stats get labeled "Aug 2006", and - another strange thing - the item is displayed on the list (on index.html) between Jul 2007 and Sep 2007!! The original Aug 2007 seems to be missing. Any ideas what could be wrong?? - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. & fax +358 9 493 981 * SMS +358 40 771 2098 jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

syslog-ng
by Mag Gam 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello, I know centos does not use syslog-ng, but I have installed it at my university. My intention is if a particular string appears in my /var/log/messages I would like to get an email alert. For example, if i see a message "foo" in /var/log/kern I would like to email myself. Any idea how to do this? Has anyone done this before? TIA

relocation, migration
by Paras pradhan 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi, I am running a cluster having 2 nodes using red hat cluster suite. node 1 has a para virtualized guest(centOS) running under Xen. My question is when node1 is rebooted, guest is automatically relocated to node 2 . Instead of relocation, is migration possible in this case which can result in Zero down time? Thanks in adv Paras.

C 5.2 and VMWAre error
by Scott Ehrlich 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

A colleague has a newly built 64-bit CentOS 5.0 system that, through yum updates, has become CentOS 5.2. VMWare Workstation and Player work fine for my account on it. But a recent configuration of something under their account has produced: vmplayer GTK Accessibility Module initialized /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspi.so.0: undefined symbol: atk_hyperlink_impl_get_type The same error (I think) comes up if I try to invoke vmware (Workstation). As a reminder, if I su - <my account> and run vmplayer, it works. I typed env > env.txt for both accounts, diff'd them, and didn't see anything obvious to my eyes. I did the same for set > set.txt. Again, nothing obvious. I rebooted the system. Same problem. What is the most likely cause under their account if, on the same system, it works fine for me? Google searching didn't help much, either. A few posts about the same problem, but no responses. Thanks for any insights. Scott

Slow perl on CentOS - ActivePerl as a solution
by Vaclav Mocek 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi all, I found out that one of my perl scripts is heavily affected by the current bug. I was lazy to compile anything and I didn't want to mess up my system doing some experiments, so I tried to install ActivePerl as a temporary solution instead (RPMs are available). ActivePerl 5.8 is approximately 73x faster that CentOS version and ActivePerl 5.10 even slightly faster. Both versions and all installed packages (GUI ppm) work flawlessly and at least for me it is the way how to survive until CentOS 5.3 will be released. [vamo@argon ~]$ cat test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use overload q(<) => sub {}; my %h; for (my $i=0; $i<50000; $i++) { $h{$i} = bless [ ] => 'main'; print STDERR '.' if $i % 1000 == 0; } print "\n"; [vamo@argon ~]$ /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl -d:DProf test.pl ..................................................

HIP rpms for Centos 5.2
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

For anyone that is interested in looking at HIP, I have posted the latest HIP build on my server: http://htt-consult.com/~rgm/hip/ You don't need the src rpm, the others will do. Since we do not have the IPsec ESP BEET mode patch (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-09.txt) for the 2.6.18 kernel (it is in the 2.6.27 kernel), we have to run HIP in userspace. For this you have to run hipfw with at least -i to get the userspace mode working. You should also include -A if you want to accept any HIP traffic. Well read the hipfw docs. If anyone does try it, let me know.
