[Vserver] what am i doing wrong with vserver exec?
I am trying to execute this function from a cron off the host and it isnt working. /usr/sbin/vserver prometheus exec /bin/rm -f /var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine/new/* darn wordwrap. I am trying not to install cron in guests unless I absolutely must. -- Chuck ...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stephen Harris) writes: /usr/sbin/vserver prometheus exec /bin/rm -f /var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine/new/* ... However, why not just use the host to remove the files? Because of symlinks like | /vservers/prometheus/var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine/new - /etc or an other filesystem layout because of different namespaces. The security relevant part of the first issue can be workarounded by tools like 'chroot-sh' and the second issue by 'vnamespace -e'. But 'vserver ... exec' is more cleaner and solves the functionality relevant part of the first issue also. /bin/rm -f /vservers/prometheus/var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine/new/* Enrico pgpAiBXOlYLkc.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
