Executing cronjobs on specific days in a month

You can use this post as a reference to schedule the Cronjobs in more Granular fashion.

Situation:
We had a requirement to execute couple of scripts on specific Saturdays of a month throughout the year  i.e., First script (say /opt/firstscript.sh) should be executed on all Saturdays EXCEPT first Saturday of the month, and the Second script (say /opt/secondscript.sh) should be executed ONLY on first Saturday of the month. This we required to do for scheduling Weekly Tape backups.

Executing a script on all Saturdays is fairly simple, we need to just specify number 6 on 5th column on crontab entry, but here the scenario is different.
The solution for this is shown below. This uses ‘date’ command to check if the current date is a first Saturday of a month.

0  2  *  *  6     [ $(date +%d) -gt 7 ]  && /opt/firstscript.sh               
# Executes at 2am on all Saturdays Except the first Saturday of the month (Saturdays other than 1st  can fall only after 7th ).

0  22  *  *  6   [ $(date +%d) -le 7 ]  && /opt/secondscript.sh        
# Executed at 10 PM ONLY on first Saturday of the month (A first Saturday can either be 7th or less than that ).

Checking NFS and SAMBA shares

NFS

How to check the NFS shares available from a NFS Client ?
#  showmount -e <NFS Server IP>

Example
[root@hostxyz /]# showmount -e nfsserver.domain.com
Export list for nfsserver.domain.com:
/VOL0           stoash01-d3,staat01-d3,rdbash01,10.20.23.16,10.20.64.31,10.100.14.96 ,10.100.16.12 
/VOL1           (everyone)
/ORAAPPS        (everyone)
/ret_vol3       (everyone)
/nas_server_bkp (everyone)
/testnfs        (everyone)
[root@hostxyz /]#


From NFS server, how to find the list of NFS clients accessing the NFS share currently ?

Execute the following script:
for i in `cat /var/lib/nfs/rmtab | awk -F":" '{print $1}' | sort -u`; do nslookup $i | tail -2 | awk '{print $4}'; done

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAMBA

How to find the list of Samba shares available from a Windows Server?

# smbclient -L Samba server IP –Uusername
Password:


[root@hostxyz /]# smbclient -L windows.tcprod.com -Uadevaraju
Password:
Domain=[TCPROD] OS=[Windows Server 2003 R2 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 R2 5.2]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
        sqldb_htk       Disk

How to mount a Windows Share on to a Linux mount point:


Syntax: 
Put this entry in /etc/fstab and do 'mount -a'
//Windows server IP/Sambashare  /Linux_mount cifs username=XXX,password=XXXX 0 0


Example:
//Windows_server/sambashare      /linux_mnt cifs username=ashok,password=XXXX  0 0

Sudo access to a specific command set

Lets say we have a requirement to give sudo access only to a particular command set.  Let’s take couple of scenarios like this:

1.   We want to give privilege to DBA team to mount/umount ONLY a particular filesystem ( /oracle_data) but  we don’t want them to mount/umount other filesystem.
2.   We want to give privilege to NOC team to start/stop ONLY the httpd service but we don’t want them to start/stop other services.

The syntax in /etc/sudoers file should be as follows:

%dbateam          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:  /bin/mount /oracle_data, /bin/umount /oracle_data

%nocteam          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:  /sbin/service httpd start, /sbin/service httpd stop, /sbin/service httpd status


Having set like this, the respective team members can execute the commands as follows:

# sudo /bin/mount /oracle_data      # Works
# sudo /bin/umount /oracle_data    # Works

# sudo /bin/mount /other_filesystem     # This will fail


# sudo /sbin/service httpd start       #  Works
# sudo /sbin/service httpd stop       #  Works
# sudo /sbin/service httpd restart   #   Fails. Since restart is not specified

# sudo /sbin/service nfs start           #  This will fail

Finding total size of files owned by a particular user

Syntax:

# find <pathname> -user <username> -ls | awk '{sum += $7} END {printf "Total size: %8.4f MB\n", sum/1024/1024}'

Example:
Foldername to search: /nasllm-ih
Username:  rram

[root@hostxyz ~]# find /nasllm-ih -user rram -ls | awk '{sum += $7} END {printf "Total size: %8.4f MB\n", sum/1024/1024}'                   
Total size: 958.7282 MB
[root@hostxyz ~]#


Validation:

Here I have created a folder /root/ashok consists files owned by user “adevaraju” of total size: 160 MB under its various sub-directories.

[root@hostxyz ~]# ls -lRh /root/ashok
/root/ashok:
total 21M
drwxr-xr-x 3 adevaraju root 4.0K Dec 14 06:30 d1
drwxr-xr-x 2 adevaraju root 4.0K Dec 14 06:35 d2
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root  10M Dec 14 06:21 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root  10M Dec 14 06:22 file4

/root/ashok/d1:
total 21M
drwxr-xr-x 2 adevaraju root 4.0K Dec 14 06:35 dx
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root  10M Dec 14 06:22 file2
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root  10M Dec 14 06:22 file3

/root/ashok/d1/dx:
total 21M
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root 10M Dec 14 06:30 file5
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root 10M Dec 14 06:30 file6

/root/ashok/d2:
total 101M
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju root 100M Dec 14 06:30 file7
[root@oralsb11-new ~]#
 [root@oralsb11-new ~]# du -sh ashok/
161M    ashok/

[root@hostxyz ~]# find /root/ashok -user adevaraju -ls | awk '{sum += $7} END {printf "SUM: %8.4f MB\n", sum/1024/1024}'
SUM: 160.0156 MB
[root@hostxyz ~]#


PS: By replacing the search folder to '/', we can find the total size of files owned by a specified user in the entire system.

Port numbers in Linux

Ports in computer networking is an application-specific or process-specific software construct serving as a communications endpoint. It is used by Transport Layer protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). A specific port is identified by its number, commonly known as the port number, the IP address with which it is associated, and the protocol used for communication.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses. However, many unofficial uses of both well-known and registered port numbers occur in practice.

The port numbers are divided into three ranges:

Well-Known/Standard Ports   (Range: 0 to 1023 )
Used by system processes that provide widely-used types of network services such as SSH, Telnet, SMTP, FTP etc

Registered Ports, and    (Range:  1024 to 49151 )
Used by specific service upon applications such as Oracle database listener (1521), MySql (3306), Microsoft Terminal server (3389) etc.

Dynamic and/or Private Ports. (Range: 49152 to 65535 )
These ports can’t be registered by IANA.  This is used for custom or temporary purposes and for automatic allocation of short-lived (or ephemeral ) ports which is used internally by application/processes. You can see these ports by running ‘netstat’ command under “Local address” column.


In Linux, the port details can be viewed by checking the /etc/services file  and the non-standard (un-registered) ports used by the server can be find using /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range file.

[adevaraju@host01 ~]$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
32768   61000
[adevaraju@host01 ~]$

Finding file creation time in Linux

Question:  In Linux, is it possible to find the actual time when a file was created first?

The Answer is NO until Ext3

File creation time ISN’T maintained in Linux with file-system Ext3 or earlier version. 
It will change when file content changes. It is explained with an example here:


[adevaraju@cac1-t1 ~]$ date
Tue Nov  9 01:22:25 CST 2010                                                      # Time now is 01:22:25
[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ echo "Some text on the file " > testfile       # Creating a file
[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ ls -lc testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 23 Nov  9 01:22 testfile     # Shows file change time as 01:22
 [adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ ls -lu testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 23 Nov  9 01:22 testfile     # Access time is also 01:22

[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ cat testfile                                       # Now am accessing the file
Some text on the file

 [adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ ls -lc testfile                            
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 23 Nov  9 01:22 testfile     # Change time remains the same
[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ ls -lu testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 23 Nov  9 01:23 testfile     # Access time changed to 01:23
[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ date
Tue Nov  9 01:23:32 CST 2010

[adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ echo "Additional text to the file" >> testfile # file content changed
 [adevaraju@cac01-t1 ~]$ ls -lc testfile                                                                            
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 51 Nov  9 01:24 testfile      # Change time changes to 01:24
[adevaraju@cacllm01-t1 ~]$ ls -lu testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 adevaraju domain users 51 Nov  9 01:23 testfile      # But access time remains the same since we did only changes to file.
[adevaraju@cacllm01-t1 ~]$ date
Tue Nov  9 01:24:22 CST 2010
[adevaraju@cacllm01-t1 ~]$

Atlast the original file creation time (which is 01:22) is gone, we CAN’T retrieve that information.

PS:  EXT4 file-system comes out with a feature to find the File-creation time.

What should be an optimal Load average for a Linux server ?

When a system shows sluggish performance, we are examining Load average which reports some value. For a long time I was wondering how these values are actually calculated and what should be the ideal value for a given Linux server. 
After some serious search, I found this article which gives satisfactory explanation on Load average.



For people who don’t have time to go through these articles, here is the summary:

1.   Load average NOT to be confused with CPU percentage.

2.   Optimal Load average equals your number of CPU Cores. 
     The point of perfect utilization, meaning that the CPUs are always busy and, yet, no process ever waits for one, is the average matching the number of CPUs. If there are four CPUs on a machine and the reported one-minute load average is 4.00, the machine has been utilizing its processors perfectly for the last 60 seconds. This understanding can be extrapolated to the 5- and 15-minute averages.”

3.   Load average is good for getting a general feeling of the server's condition, but isn't the whole picture.


To make it further simple, if you have 8 CPU Cores (can be found using cat /proc/cpuinfo) on a Linux server, the ideal Load average should be around 8 (+/- 1). If its > 8, then the server resources are over-utilized and if < 8, the server isn’t running with its full potential.

What an useradd command in Linux does?

When you execute an useradd command  (# useradd <username>”), the following happens.

1.       Add the new user entry in the following files: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow

2.       A group will be created with the same username and it will be updated in the following files: /etc/group and /etc/gshadow.

3.       Home folder for the user will be created (/home/<username>) and the default profile settings will be copied from /etc/skel to it.

# ls -la /etc/skel/
total 56
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Aug 16 13:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 111 root root 12288 Oct  6 15:10 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root    33 Jan 21  2009 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   176 Jan 21  2009 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   124 Jan 21  2009 .bashrc
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   515 May 24  2008 .emacs
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Jul 26 18:19 .mozilla
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   658 Sep 21  2009 .zshrc
 #


Please note in the case, if you happen to accidently delete either /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files, you can restore it from its corresponding backup files (i.e /etc/passwd- ,  /etc/shadow- ) respectively. These files are updated upon the system reboot.  So you can’t expect these files to be having the entries for user accounts which are added after the system reboot.

SUID (Set User ID) Explained


The password information of an user account is saved in /etc/shadow file. When you check the file permission of it, you would see that it has Read permission ONLY for root.  So ever wondered how can a normal user will be able to Write on this file while executing the ‘passwd’ command for changing his password ??

[adevaraju@hostx ~]$ ls -l /etc/shadow
-r-------- 1 root root 1436 Oct  6 14:40 /etc/shadow
[adevaraju@hostx ~]$


There comes SUID in picture……..If you check the file permission for ‘passwd’ command, you can see that it has a SUID (Set User ID) set for it as shown below. Now lemme tell the definition of SUID. “When SUID bit is set for any command then whoever executes that command, will execute it with the privilege of file owner”. 

Here w.r.t ‘passwd’ command, when a normal user executes it, then it will run with “root” ownership. As root user can over-write any local files, he can update the /etc/shadow file, though it doesn’t have Write permission on it. And that’s how a normal user can change his password.

[adevaraju@hostx ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/passwd
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 22984 Jan  6  2007 /usr/bin/passwd
[adevaraju@hostx ~]$


How to set SUID ?

# chmod u+s <command/script name>

(or)

# chmod 4755 <command/script name>


How to search files with SUID set?

# find / -perm -4000  -type f -print

Please note while doing security audit on a server, finding and reviewing the existence of executables with SUID set is an important action item that needs to be taken care; as there are very dangerous.

Resolving Too many files open error in Linux

Situation:
Users couldn't execute *ANY* commands. It gives "Too many open files" error as shown below:

orabi@miaash02-t1$ top
ksh: top: /usr/bin/top: cannot execute [Too many open files in system]
dwilliams@miaash02-t1$ ls -l
ksh: ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute [Too many open files in system]


Reason:
Everything in Linux are files; Linux forks most things including devices, sockets and pipes as files.  There is a kernel parameter called “file-max” which controls the maximum number of files that can be opened in a system. The default value is 65K (approx), can be find using the following command:
“sysctl -a | grep file-max”.
To check the count of number of files open, we can use the following command: “lsof | wc –l”. However this will not give you the exact number, because it is possible for a single file to be opened multiple times for readind and each additional concurrent open will increase the count for file-max value.  And in addition even connections to network ports can eat up the ‘file-max’ value.

Resolution:
As a temporary solution, we can increase the ‘file-max’ value by issuing the following command:
# echo “value” > /proc/sys/fs/file-max and then we need to identify the problem by analyzing either the System logs or by using lsof command itself with appropriate options. 

Finding default block size in Linux

How to find default block size in Linux?
Answer:  
# tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep Block
Block count:                4980736
Block size:                    4096
Blocks per group:     32768
From this example, you can see that the default block size for the filesystem on /dev/sda1 partition is 4096 bytes, or 4k. That's the default block size for ext3 filesystem.    


How to define the block size while creating  ext3 filesystem ?

 Answer:    

 # mkfs.ext3 –b <block size>  <Device>
 
Example:   # mkfs.ext3 -b 2048 /dev/sda1                
This creates a filesystem with 2KB block size on partition /dev/sda1.

Going indepth of Linux process

Scenario: 
At times need arises to dig in deep about a running process. We may be seeing a process occupying more system resource, in that case, we have to find what does that process actually doing and which are all the files it is accessing.

Solution:
There are multiple ways:

1.       Using ‘ps’ with appropriate options  (This will give show you the process tree of all process)

# ps axjf 
# ps eauxf

2.       Using ‘lsof’   (‘-p’ and ‘-c’ shows you the files opened by a particular process and command respectively)

# lsof -p  <PID>                

To know PID of a process name (e.g smbd),
# pidof  [process name]      (i.e # pidof smbd)

# lsof -c  <Command name>


Wanna go still deeper………………………………………………………………….??


3.       Use ‘strace’  ( Will list out all the System calls and Signals made by a Process. It records the System calls “C functions” which are called by a  process  and  the  Signals  which  are received by a process)

#  strace -f -p  <PID>


Use 'pidstat' to find out processes wise memory consumption. To find Memory usage of active process :

# pidstat -l -r | sort -k8nr

How to find PID associated with a Port number

Scenario
At times we may run into situation to find the PID associated with a particular Port number. We may not be able to start/restart a particular service (say Jboss), since the Port number which is needed for the service is occupied by another process. You would have seen the error saying “Address already in use”. 

Solution:
Find the PID associated with the particular port and kill it, if not required, and start the service.

Couple of straight forward commands:

# lsof -i      (or)  lsof -i: <port number>

# netstat -lantp   (or)  netstat -lautp

Examples:

[root@hostx ~]# lsof -i:80                        # Second column shows the PID associated with HTTPD service running on port 80.
COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE   DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
