Issues with mysql and logmysql passwords - Zimbra :: Wiki

Issues with mysql and logmysql passwords - Zimbra :: Wiki

More zimbra good stuff


reset mysql stuff

[SOLVED] - postfix[pid]: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: setgid_group =

Zimbra puzzle: Kept getting postfix errors with mail_owner or postfix_mail_owner or setgid_group bad string length.




The fix was to replace the nonexistent value in /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml

in this instance, postifx for postfix_mail_owner and postdrop for postfix_setgid_group

MANAGE LARGE FILE LISTINGS WITH XARGS

Linux administrators have traditionally used the xargs command to manage

large argument lists, such as file listings. The xargs command also has
many other uses.

But handling long file listings is a very useful function. For example,
if you have a directory with a large number of files, you may have
experienced the "too many arguments" problem associated with trying to list or
delete files in a directory.

Let's say that you have a directory full of clip art and want to delete
all of the JPEG files. You attempt to use the following:

rm *.jpg

You may find that rm can't handle the large number of files, and the
command fails. You can still remove the files, but it requires the use of a
few extra commands.

Use the following command to remove all of the JPEG files from the
current directory and all subdirectories:

$ find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -print|xargs -l50 rm -f

This command uses the find command to locate all files in and below the
current directory with the name "*.jpg" and print them to standard
output. The command then pipes the output from find as input into xargs, which
then executes rm -f on a maximum of 50 files at a time.

You can use the xargs utility in many more situations. It's a powerful
tool that allows you to efficiently chain together commands that you
otherwise couldn't connect, manage files efficiently, and more.

Ahhhhh!!.. That's better.

I was having problems with the post/publish page. When Opera is in MSIE 6.0 mode, this box shows up as a single line across the page, which makes it difficult to review what you are writing. When Opera is in Opera mode, this box has 10 lines and makes it much easier to read and revise.

I am attempting a bootable W2kAdvSrv CD slipstreamed with SP3. I had to download and compile Xcdroast to continue. I'll post my findings when I'm finished. It's done compiling. later...
