Setting Hash in DGLux5 Web Docs

The document discusses Linux network configuration, scheduling jobs with cron, backup and restore processes, and adding or removing software. Linux network configuration files include /etc/resolv.conf for name servers, /etc/sysconfig/network for networking settings, and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for device-specific settings. Cron allows scheduling jobs to run at intervals by adding scripts to directories like /etc/cron.hourly or by editing /etc/crontab, which defines the schedule in a standard format of minutes, hours, days, months, and weekdays. Backups can be made with tar and placed on different disks or tape for restoration later.

Linux Network Configuration


/etc/[Link] Tells the kernel which name server
should be queried when a program asks to "resolve"
an IP Address.
nameserver [Link]
search [Link] [Link]
/etc/sysconfig/network Indicates networking is
enabled (NETWORKING=yes) and provides
information on hostname, gateway and nis domain.
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=[Link]
NISDOMAIN=cc
GATEWAY=[Link]

Linux Network Configuration


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Network
configurations like boot protocol (static/dhcp), ip
address, netmask, network address, broadcast
address etc.
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=[Link]
NETMASK=[Link]
BROADCAST=[Link]
NETWORK=[Link]
GATEWAY=[Link]

Scheduling Jobs: Cron

Cron is a program that enables you to execute a


command, or a script with a sequence of commands,
at a specified date, time or at set intervals.
Add the job script in /etc/[Link] or
/etc/[Link] or /etc/[Link] or
/etc/[Link] to schedule a job

Backup & Restore

Backup the user area or configuration file


Use tar to take backup on a different disk or tape
Backup can be scheduled using cron
Backup: tar –zcvf <tar filename> <Directory Tree to be
backedup>
Restore: tar –zxvf <tar filename> <file to be recovered>
Backup should be occasionally checked by restoring it
Backup Policy: Full Backup every weekly/fortnightly
and incremental backup every day

Adding & Removing Software


Download a binary
Download the source code and compile on the system
(download, untar, configure, make, make install, make
uninstall)
Use RPM - Redhat Package Manager and install rpms
[Link] & [Link] can be used to
search and download rpms (i386 Binary RPMs or SRC RPMs)
For Binary rpms: rpm [options] rpm-file
(rpm –qa, rpm –ivh, rpm –Uvh, rpm -e)
Where -q= query, -a= all, -i=install, -v=verbrose, -U= upgrade,
-h= hash, -e= erase
For Source rpms: rpmbuild –rebuild rpm-source-file
Compiled binary rpms will be available at
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 which can be installed
