Late last ‘week I noticed that my new nagios server was not responding anymore. Well, I checked it and it was down. Not only that, it was a vm on my test server and the entire server was down as well. Arrrgh. Usually I use this as a foray to tell you all to remember […]
Here’s one for the book…: I have a script that monitors a process and I want it to email my cellphone (to page me) if things don’t look just right. The problem is that just using “mail” or “mailx” in a script fails because my carrier divines whether or not my return address is real. […]
Even though I wrote and use OSM I also use Nagios at work (along with OSM). Actually, I administer Nagios there, however I have never actually installed and configured it. It was in place before I started there. That being said, my manager asked me how to get it installed and running today, as he […]
Just a quickie tutorial on how to set up a web based subversion server on a CentOS server in a hurry. To start with you need a CentOS 5.x install with a working web server. # yum install subversion mod_dav_svn Pick a directory where you want to house your repo. We’ll say for argument mine […]

Then, I got thinking […]

I wrote a little bit ago about my writing a little service monitor script, OpenServerMon, yes, I know the name has changed already. Well, the reason I wrote the script initially is I wanted to be notified when my home internet service went down. Wouldn’t you know it, it worked…. A LOT! Apparently, I put […]
Apparently the code tags here don’t really like some code. This is made notable by the complete omission of some of the code that belonged in the sed commands of the script. So, in order for you all to actually get the complete code I put the code here at http://lincgeek.org/linc/scripts/identibash. Have at it and […]
I was reading my rss feeds today and ran across this great article telling how to use wget or curl to make a twitter post. Well I just happen to use identica (free and all) server that my friend Dann set up, so that stuff didn’t quite work. Drat. Well, when I saw Dann pop […]
