takizo, not takezo

By default, after exim successfully configured and run, it sends out Megabytes of mail queue to the root mailbox. It can be annoying when using a slow download line. e.g. PSTN & ISDN dialup, 3G internet access & etc.

To stop receiving those mail queues, specify “daily_status_mailq_enable=”NO”" in /etc/periodic.conf .

*** parameters are not only store/listed in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, check out the scripts in :

• /etc/periodic/daily/*
• /etc/periodic/weekly/*
• /etc/periodic/monthly/*
• /etc/periodic/security/*
• /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/*
• /usr/local/etc/periodic/weekly/*
• /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/*
• /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/*

first :

cd /destination/directory

second :

split /source/directory/big-huge-file prefix-to-apply-onto-splited-files

Voila !!!

(use the parameter -b to specify the size of splited files in BYTES, NOT kb, mb or gb)

after changing time zone (tzsetup), restart cron (/etc/rc.d/cron restart) to let it know the changes or else the cron jobs will use the previous time zone.

date -d ‘<Unix epoch> <epoch date> sec’

e.g. date -d ‘1970-01-01 988822888 sec’ would dated “Wed May 2 17:31:28 MYT 2001″

20080430 :

get a particular date in epoch, e.g. date -d ‘Apr 30 2008 00:00:00′ ‘+%s’

dig <record type> <host.name>

e.g dig SRV _someservice._port.hostname.domainame.com.my OR dig SRV _https._ICMP.host.takizo.com
