Monitoring your Network
by Cory Rauch Category:Linux-System |
If you have a bunch of Linux boxes or remotely manage Linux
boxes you may want to consider a monitoring solution. Monitoring
software can be a lifesaver, especially when you're not physically
near the computers in questions. It also provides for smoother
service operation by automatically restarting dead daemons
even before you may know of a problem. But at the same time
some of these software solutions have become quite complicated
and expensive to set up. Well in this article we are going
to cover a simple to set-up, cheap (free), and flexible monitoring
package called 'monit'.

Listing Installed Perl Modules
by Cory Rauch Category:Linux-System |
I have not posted in a month and a half since I was busy, but I recently needed to move some of my perl scripts over to a new faster box. In doing so though I would need to also install required perl modules on the new box like I had installed on my old box. But I do not remember every perl module I installed, so I needed a way to list them. So here is a simple perl script to accomplish this task.

How to make a System Restore CD-ROM
by Cory Rauch Category:Linux-System |
All computer hardware has a life expectancy, and sometimes
that lifetime ends at the worst moments possible. Fortunately
we are going to show you a way to backup your entire system
to a bootable CD-ROM (or CD-ROMs depending on size of installation)
for easy restore. We are going to do this using a nice little
utility called 'Mkcdrec'. So let's get started.

basic steps to setting up Apache, MySQL, and PHP software
on Linux. Because this combination has become increasingly
popular to use and a lot of tutorial currently on the web

started!

Linux Fastest Boot Time Challenge
by idontknow Category:Linux-System |
Wow! When I initially published the article, Boot Fedora Linux Faster: How I Modified Fedora To Boot In Under 25 Seconds, neither my server or me was ready for 22k visitors in one day. It seems that there is a great interest in the topic of reducing boot time. So I think a challenge is in order to get Linux people together to try to reduce boot time. The challenge would be the fastest boot time from bootloader to GDM Login on Fedora Core 4 Linux running the listed services in the "Boot Fedora Linux Faster: How I Modified Fedora To Boot In Under 25 Seconds" article. To participate send me (see below) a description of what was done including any scripts files needed, a bootchart, the specs of you computer, and your name or alias (if you want it published) and I will publish your findings in this article below if what you found has not already been done before. I will also publish the top 25 fastest boot times. The goal would be valuable research from everyone to help the Linux community at large.
