Getting email from cron when script is run manually
by Jeff Larsen 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

We have some third party software running on a CentOS 4.5 virtual machine. The software is delivered as compiled python and I wrote an init script for it myself (/etc/init.d/gk). Because the software lacks the usual robustness of CentOS services, I have a bash script (/etc/cron.daily/gk-restart) which simply calls "/etc/init.d/gk restart". So, as expected, root gets an email every day when cron runs the script. Here's the puzzling part: If I need to manually restart the service, I will use the command "/etc/init.d/gk restart". But then I get the very same email message from the cron daemon as if the daily cron job had been run automatically. The email is timestamped for the time at which I manually restarted the service. How on earth is the manual restart being monitored by the cron daemon? The init script is full featured and maintains pid and lock files in /var/run and /var/lock/subsys respectively. Is that the connection? Jeff

If you rename your 5.0 DVD to the 5.1 version and do an rsync it will save lots of bandwidth. -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada Fl_TeacherTool http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/ C++ GUI tutorial http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/

Screen blanking crashes
by centos＠911networks.com 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi, I upgraded a Dell C521 from Ubuntu 6.04 to CentOS5.1. The Dell has an NVidia 6150 analog video card. The screen is an LG1952Tx. After the screen blanking goes on, and the screen goes to sleep, the screen goes black except for a blue note saying: analog video, invalid frequency... I have installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1. Everything works great except for the screen sleep... Any suggestion of what I should look for? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Well, there's so few going right now that I'm showing 38 days to get the DVD. My normal dnld from a mirror travels appx. 600Mb/sec. I'll wait until most of the U.S. goes home before I give up and use the normal download though. Here's hoping... -- Bill

How to generate UUID for Xen?
by Kai Schaetzl 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

The new virtual machine manager in Centos 5.1 displays some weird behavior here and I assume it's because the UUID of one running VM is the same as of a VM that is shut down. I used the same config file template for creating all my test VMs, so several have the same UUID. Didn't produce any problems with xm. But the new VM manager in Gnome shows active and inactive VMs and identifies them by UUID, which results in it trying to mix the status etc. of the active and of the inactive VM. How can I generate a new UUID? I assume there's some checksum in it, so that I can't just make one up?
