I have a blog website running on drupal. There is a twitter account for the site. Is there any way I can automate sending a tweet when any user posts a blog. (like lifehacker site)
A client wants us to push data files to them on a daily basis using SFTP (ssh over ftp). We are a 100% Microsoft shop with no Linux admins on staff. I am looking for recommendations on how to do achieve this. I have seen different applications for automating the sending of files via SFTP, but I don't know if they are a good approach or not.
What have you found to be the easiest way to deal with this in a Microsoft Environment?
When I run the sendmail -bs command as root, I get the expected output:
$ sudo sendmail -bs
220 mydomain.com ESMTP Postfix
ehlo localhost
250-mydomain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 15728640
250-ETRN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
But when I run the same command without sudo, I get no output at all and sendmail doesn't respond to any commands:
$ sendmail -bs
ehlo localhost
quit
wtf
^C
$
How can I configure Postfix so that sendmail works for every user (or at least for some specific users)? I need this because SwiftMailer for PHP uses sendmail -bs for sending mails and fails when it can't find any output.
We're using IIS 7's SMTP service for sending out emails from our sites. I'm looking for a SMTP Log analyzer to make it easier for me to view the results and identify and problems (Blocks, Unauthorized relay attempts, blacklisting, ...).
What is the best tool to use for this?
I have a server with windows 2003, recently i installed a software in this server. When i restarted server my all files can't open sending to a command prompt saying: No program associated with ".exe" file extension. This occurred to all files types in system. When i go see file types association i see this: C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*, change result but when restart return to same.
Any idea to resolve?
We have two scanners in our branch office which upload images to the head office via FTP. In the last week, both scanners have started delivering a lot of corrupted images.
I suspect that the problem may be with the WAN link, and that TCP might not be detecting/correcting all errors. Is there any software for Windows that allows me to test the integrity of the connection by sending packets with an embedded CRC?
I am using Team Viewer to control my PCs remotely. It lets me restart my PC, and this is a good feature.
Is it possible to remotely start a PC which is already turned off? Maybe it's impossible but I like to ask Superusers. All I can think of is something like sending a signal to PC's BIOS. Assume that all components of PC is connected to electrical socket and the router is on.
I have an HP OfficeJet 5610 AIO printer/scanner/fax, and I'm running Windows 7 without HP custom drivers for the printer. Printing and scanning works fine, but is it possible to use the built-in Windows Fax and Scan for sending faxes with the printer instead of installing the horrible HP fax software?
Hi all, I have a scenario in mercurial, and i cant finad anything that would tell me how to solve it. Basically, i have a mercurial repository with numerous branches for stable, development, experimental features etc.... However, ive found a bug in a set of core application files that are common to each branch. Is there a way to modify these files, and then push the changes to the common files to all the other branches, without sending any other changes?
any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to troubleshoot some performance issues we are having on a specific ASP.NET page with Microsoft's Perfecto Tool on IIS 7.5. Perfecto uses the ETW hooks build in to IIS to report on specific HTTP request, and is working quite well.
However, I only want IIS to emit traces for one specific page, say "Default.aspx" in my TestApp Web Application. Following the instructions on the httpTracing man page, I should be able to add the traceUrls element to my root web.config file for TestApp. This doesn't seem to affect tracing whatsoever when I do so.
For example, I've used the following settings in the web.config file and every request that hits the IIS server is sending tracing messages that are in turn picked up by Perfecto. (In the System.WebServer section)
<httpTracing>
<traceUrls>
<add value="/Default.aspx" />
</traceUrls>
</httpTracing>
I then found that the applicationHost.config file on the server had an empty element. I tried removing this element, as well as the httpTracing element in the web.config. After a machine reboot, I was still getting tracing messages! My understanding is that the presense of the httpTracing element is what controlls whether ETW tracing is on or not. I ensured there was no reference to httpTracing in the machine.config, too.
At a loss, I decided to remove the IIS Tracing feature with Server Manager. After a reboot, I no longer got ETW tracing. I then reinstalled IIS Tracing feature with Server Manager. As expected, the httpTracing element reappeared in the applicationhost.config file. Tracing messages began sending again for all sites and pages.
I then tried to use the traceUrls element at the applicationhost.config level. This also didn't filter out and traces.
I must be misunderstanting something key with how httpTracing works. There aren't many resources on the web to help me, either.
Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying should work? Has anyone else had success filtering tracing message per page with traceUrls?
I should note that I also tried changing with the following setting in applicationhost.config to "allow". It didn't seem to help.
<section name="httpTracing" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
I have Apache 2.2.11 installed locally on my Windows XP (SP3) dev machine, which I setup about 3 months ago.
I have just started having a strange problem in the last few week.
Apache is serving some basic PHP applications like phpMyAdmin. When I make a page request, Apache appears to not finish serving all resources for that page. Firefox shows the "Transferring data from servername..." message, and the page never completes. The same problem happens in Internet Explorer too.
I can sometimes tell which resource it is waiting on, because most of the page will render except for some image or similar resources. (Not sure why Firebug doesn't show this)
It doesn't have the problem every page request - for page requests where most of the resources are cached in my browser, the page request will work with no problems. Or pages that are very light will work with no problems.
However, if I "hard" refresh the page, I will have this problem (probably because it is requesting all page resources)
Does anyone know what this could be?
It is so strange that it has only just started happening - and I did not make any changes to my system (that I am aware of)
I tried playing with the Apache ThreadsPerChild setting, but it did not seem to make a difference.
UPDATE:
I have been doing some more tests. I have been serving the most basic of pages, just a plain HTML file:
<html>
<body>
<h1>testing</h1>
</body>
</html>
If I request this page multiple times in a row, AND each request occurs immediately after the previous has completed, then 50% of the time the request will time out.
However, if I put a 1-2 second gap between requests, then there is no problem.
This correlates to what I have observed when the brower requests a real application page. When the browser has nothing cached, then all of the page resources are requested from the browser in a short amount of time - this appears to trigger the problem.
UPDATE2:
Nathan Long has helped me understand the issue a little better with the server-status page (see below).
It is weird, it is like the server has a hickup sending data to the client. The client sits there waiting forever for data that never arrives. Closing the client process does not terminate the connection on the server - the server still has active threads for each previously attempted connection, but they just sit there - not sending any data and never terminating. (even though the client is now closed) Only a restart of the server seems to terminate them.
Free minitoring and inventory software like ms system center configuration manager?
I know about spiceworks but there you have to log in with account and I don't know if they are sending some of our information online.
Sometimes, sending a SIGTERM to a process will cause it to send SIGTERM to all its child processes. However, sometimes this doesn't work.
Is there a command or a utility that will allow me to kill a process and all its child processes at the same time? I usually resort to manually collecting all the pids into one kill command, but it feels stupid.
This SO question asks how to do this with perl, but anything that gets the job done would be great.
I have tried multiple drivers and multiple games ( Games tried, Darkfall and source based games).
Drivers tried ( 18x,29x and 24x).
When i disable SLI the games work perfectly.
A description of the blinking effect would be its like one of the video cards are not sending the image to screen.
One commandline tool per answer :)
WalkOnLAN
This small command line utility makes
possible to switch on a computer from
a second one by sending a "Magic
Packet". Both of computers can be
located on the same LAN or on the
different LAN segments.
Anything else?
I need a service which allows me to edit a hosted text file by email.
For example: I write an email to [email protected] with subject "ADD LINE 10" and sending it the mail body is inserted into myfile which is hosted on a server of someservice.ext. Same for "DELETE LINE 12" or "SUBSTITUTE LINE 15". If I write "ECHO FILE" or something similar, the service should send me an email with the updated content of the text file.
Does it exist?
I have been running a load balancing machine for a number of months now which has had no problems in the past. I got woken up to some downtime and I am seeing this a lot in syslog:
TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.
At which point Nginx takes up 100% of the cpu and doesn't come back down to normal for several minutes.
I have it running on Ubuntu currently but I also was able to replicate on Debian 6.
when sending email from outlook it populates a list of suggestions. We moved email servers recently so some of the addresses are no longer valid. How can I have the "suggestions" cleared.
Hi,
how can I configure IIS SMTP sever to not attach the original mail to the Delivery Status Notification messages? The problem is that when sending newsletters with fairly large attchemnts all these attachments are again attached to the DSN messages which results in a full administrator's mailbox.
Thank you
I can put my MacBook into clamshell mode by just close it and sending some USB/Bluetooth signals.
However, sometimes I want to get into the mode directly without those actions. Is there no button or menu written "Get clamshell mode now"? Or utility?
In Linux, you can use
lpr -#5 foo.txt
to get 5 copies of a document when sending to an LPD-based print server.
The Windows (XP, 2003, 2008) version of LPR supplied by MS doesn't seem to have this option, though.
Does anyone know if there's a hidden option to specify the number of copies?
Thanks.
We have postfix on our development server, and I'd like it to be able to only send mail to our domain, not to other domains, preventing accidentily mailing outside users from receiving mail from our development server.
I searched through the docs, tried several things but it's still sending to all domains...
Hello,
I recently learned of the joys of square brackets with SMART_HOST to have sendmail ignore MX lookups. I need this functionality, however, I can't seem to make it persistant. Sending mail with -Am works, however, -bm does not. In the -Am case, the correct mail server is used. In the -bm case, an MX lookup is still being performed. Is there a way to disable MX lookups (or some working alternative)?
Thanks
I'm running Kannel on my server for sending SMS-es and while everything goes out just fine, DLRs aren't coming in to my application fast enough. When I look at the Kannel status page, it shows "DLR: XXXX queued, using internal storage" and the number decreases very slowly. Is it possible to make DLRs come in faster and without a huge delay?
Whenever I complete something in the command line while using Ubuntu and my computer does something of value to me, I enjoy saying thank you, just because it's the polite thing to do. A typical conversation might look something like this:
mtp-sendfile HamishAndyPodcast.mp3 /Music/podcasts
Sending file...
