thanks drj478. My question leading from this is, when you're pulling the data from the DB does will i have to strip the \' to get ' instead of \' in the text? Does that make sense? lol, i hope so, lol. thanks a lot everyone so far!!!

Hey guys, I hope this is any easy one... How do I configue sendmail to receive email to username@domain1.com and when it receives it redirect it to username@domain2.com and then resend it? At the moment Im redirecting in the virtusertable and I thought I could just try: @domain1.com...

Hey guys, sometimes one of our users will ring us and say his or her mailbox is locked, sure enough when we run a "PS -AUX" we can see that there is a process open with a PID which their username is holding. Most of the time when I "KILL PID" it stops the process and the...

How do I know if my SCSI drive is OK sat on my ISA SCSI card? Is there something I need to be seeing when the system boots? My SCSI card has jumpers to set the IO/IRQ and I dont know if Im getting resource conflicts or anything. The system is booting fine. Thanks guys :)

Is there an easy explanation as to why our Sendmail takes about 15 attempts to stop it? We're on RedHat 6.2 and only have about 70 virtual hosts on that machines. When we want to restart it we have to issue ./sendmail stop about 10 - 20 times before it stops. Any ideas anyone?

Hi Krischrist LOL your one step ahead of me because that was going to be my next question... Im trying to work out how to backup the individual partitions to a file. Ive tried backing up the whole server to a file but the file size gets too big and the tar command fails :-( Ill set up the...

Hi all, I constantly get users ringing us asking us to delete the contents of their POP3 mailbox. The only way I know how to do this at this time is to go into /var/spool/mail and open the file that coresponds to their POP3 account and delete all the lines except the top section. This works...

Hi all, I read a few threads on this subject a few weeks ago. Can anyone answer this one for me? Im would like to use this tar commmand: tar -cplzf backup.tar.gz . --exclude backup.tar.gz to backup my box but am I correct in understanding that it will only backup the "/" partition...

Hi all, At the moment in my hosts.allow file (REDHAT 6.2) Im using straight forward direct addressing i.e. in.ftpd 192.168.3. 192.168.2.5 etc... by typing in the whole ip address some octets to represent wildcards. Im not too familiar with the formal IP notation where an IP range can be...

Hi all Ive got so much email coming in and out of my server now my /var volume is running out of drive space which is halting a handfull of services. Is it possible to put in a second disk and extend the /var partition so I can give it more space. Or would it be more sensible to make...

I use a Colorado IDE Travan 14 Gb tape drive with the software called Taper. It works a treat. You dont need to mount the tape drive as the software autodetects it and sets itself up for you. Tapers is pretty good - it has a text based GUI also and a tree like structure display.
