Ever wonder why Gimp does not have shapes drawing functions? It has, just need to adapt to its way of working.
1. choose the shape,
2. choose the border color,
3.draw the shape then click Edit –> Stroke Selection … and press okay
Voila !
there are over thousand emails queue in our mail server, even though I have configured email frozen more than 10 days automatically delete/remove, but it seem like doesn’t work as expected.
here is the work around if you plan to do it manually.
start with listing email queue in the server, by using the command exim -bp, it will list all the email currently queue in the server. but my only concern is frozen email in the server, which I would like to manually clean it from the queue. let try something here,
exim -bp | grep frozen
18d 24K 1JhiI4-00096B-OW <> *** frozen ***
18d 2.3K 1JhiII-00097Y-8s <> *** frozen ***
16d 2.8K 1JhiKM-0009AL-9M <> *** frozen ***
15d 2.3K 1JhiLO-0009Bs-EF <> *** frozen ***
15d 2.5K 1JhiLS-0009Bx-O2 <> *** frozen ***
12d 2.7K 1JhiNm-0009S5-AQ <> *** frozen ***
10d 3.3K 1JhiPv-0009aN-Vu <> *** frozen ***
10d 24K 1JhiQ9-0009as-4R <> *** frozen ***
There are the emails currently queue in the server, and now you might want to check why did the email was queue in the server by exim -Mvl

If you want to remove all the email from queue more than 18 days, try this command;

This morning we got a memo or enlighten announcement from Marketing & Communications; Which is one of the good news for AIMS Data Centre, below is the quote from the memo;
Kuala Lumpur, 18 June 2008 - Four of South East Asia’s leading data centres namely Malaysia’s The AIMS Asia Group, Singapore’s 1-Net Singapore, Vietnam’s CMC Telecom and Thailand’s TCC Technology (TCCT) announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a Data Centre Alliance to meet acute data centre requirements in the region. Together, the data centres within the Alliance will form a one-stop Hub that provides a full suite of services and connectivity.
With a combined space of more than 500,000 square feet and a projected annual turnover of approximately RM240 million by 2009, the Alliance will become one of the biggest data centre operators in the region catered for first-tier telcos, government agencies, banks and other businesses.
After Unity Consortium, this is another great move for our Data Centre to go further in international Data Centre business. Looking forward for more good news this year.

we have about 15 freebsd servers with us, ranging from freebsd 4.7 to freebsd 7. most of the server need to be patched regularly, except servers that are not accessible from public network. one of the method we use to monitor outdated port is using portsnap cron, it update the port tree base on the date/time you configured on crontab, and when there is any port is outdated, it will notify us through email from system message.
setting up port tree update on cron
fire up your crontab with crontab -e and add this line;
0 7 * * * portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL=
this will update the port tree every morning 7am and if there is any output from the command pkg_version -vIL=, it will send an email to system root.
alias root to your email address
if you wish to receive the notification through your email, on /etc/aliases file, alias root to your_email_address, remember to run newaliases command after update the file.
Email notification from different servers.
Port that outdated and need to be upgraded.
