Under African Skies!

Yeah its that day of the year. And it is Friday. That just makes my day…

For any of those interested to nominate your SysAdmin. Have look at Sysadmin of the year.

Today i seems that no amount of hot water nor coffee can get me warm. I woke an hourly earlier than before, coz i was too cold to sleep anymore. I can’t wait for summer

Today again I installed ubuntu, but this time on an fairly old Acer P III or is it PII, anyway 450 Mhz with 320mb ram. And the best or is it worst, two SCSI drivers. At first the install didn’t even start, then the server reboots. Later I got the SCSI Utility, formatted both drives then attempted the install again. This time round it went through. Been such a long time since i’ve touched ubuntu. Could even what the package manager was called
(aptitude). And the sshd doesn’t work. Surely the server install, did install it. I’ll have to take a closer look later.

i finally got the rrdtool installed on fedora core 2. Took me a long way through and around, but I again learned some new stuff. Will add a detailed page later for reference might need to do it again.

And to get info, well that is another story. I f managed to get a hold of sum perl script to collect data, then enters it into to rrd files. Then the problem comes to get a cgi page working, to make and display the graphs. Currently I only have Network info for three interfaces showing. But I need to get cpu, mem, squid info also. I guess that will take a certain amount of time/skill to get up and running.

coz i forgot the password i used when i set it ip. made a note of it this time round
I seriously need to get it up running, well it is now, but not yet configured for all i want it to do. That will take some time i guess
