24 Jan '13

i did this from the console crontab -e then i inserted this in my vi editor 10 * * * * curl http://mysite.com/test.php then i exited vi then i did crontab -l and the cron job was listed then i did /sbin/service crond start and i waited for 10 mins to get a message echo to my console. the message is displayed in my browser when the php script(http://mysite.com/test.php) is loaded via my browser. The message is also shown on my console when d curl command is run direct from the console. the problem is getting the message from the cronjob. what could be wrong ? could it be that the job is not well setup ? note , i logged in as root user. please help regards kunle

clock sync/drift
by Matt Garman 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, We have a little over 100 servers, almost all running CentOS 5.7. Virtually all are Dell servers, generally a mix of 1950s, R610s, and R410s. We use NTP and/or PTP to sync their clocks. One phenomenon we've noticed is that (1) on reboot, the clocks are all greatly out of sync, and (2) if the PTP or NTP process is stopped, the clocks start drifting very quickly. If it was isolated to one or two servers, I'd dismiss the issue. I also had this problem under CentOS 4. I suspect something is mis-configured, because I can't imagine the hardware clock on ALL these servers is *that* bad. Anyone else dealt with anything similar? Thanks! Matt

dhclient in 5.9 having trouble with dhcpd in 6.3 ?
by Stephen Harris 23 Jan '13

I have a KVM setup. Host is 6.3. I have a bridged client running 5.9 Since upgrading to 5.9 I noticed that ntpd is being restarted every 12 hours.

Hey All, Totem has stopped playing .wmv files recently. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I know I've played .wmv files not too very long ago. I've got 372 .wmv files all of which I've played at one time. When I try to launch any one of the .wmv files from file manager totem pops up but the controls are not functional.

[OT] how to specify dimensions a a Java Popup
by Michael Hennebry 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

How, if at all, does one specify the size of a Java Popup? setSize on the contents Component does not get the job done regardless of when applied. I keep getting the same small square, serveral pixels on an edge. Is this documented somewhere? I've been trying to use docs.oracle.com, but nothing I've found answers the question. I truly hate the poke it and see what it does method of finding out what something is supposed to do. It never works. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily
