Has anyone syggested using rsync instead of a Perl script? That is designed just for things like this and works well and might be more secure than the Perl script. Or you could put use rsync in your Perl script. You will need to create a little binary to invoke the Perl script. Then create an rd.d type script that takes a 'start' and 'stop' put it in and run it with a 'start' parameter. Give the startup script a 'stop' when you want to quite. Look at the stuff in init.d, etc such as apachectl for hints. You probably don't need anything as elaborate as that for the start/stop script, but it is a good example. jerry Chaitanya ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] your session only lasted less than 10 seconds error
Dear Mark This is the exact scenario of my machine. i am running the cent os under my virtual box and i have made a network bridge to that VBOX so from my machine i connect to the VBOX using the Xshell. and by the way i am new to linux and this is my test machine so that i do some testing. this is the F reason i am using the root user. what ever os is it i dont think logging in as root user will crash the system. regarding the halt command i used it to check what this command will do and this one i have done from the F manual only. but now my VBOX machine crashed.

You haven't given us *any* idea as to what you, personally, did to break the system. You say you halted it - did you mean to turn the system off? If you'd just intended to restart it, you should have used the command reboot. And were you running as root? Do you normally log in as root? If so, STOP IT, NOW. This is *not* Windows, and you should *never* log in as root, unless you're doing system maintenance. You should ALWAYS log in as yourself, or as a user, *not* root.
