When writing a plugin using “schedule.addPeriodicEvent(function, time, name=Name, now=True)”, do you know of a way to list the items that have been scheduled?

Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks for your time.

Comment on centos set dns by gare

Hi Tyron,

I would confirm the nameserver entries you are using. Can you ping them? What happens when you try using nameserver 8.8.8.8 in your /etc/resolv.conf? That is Google’s public dns service, freely available.

I’ve been scratching my head with my centos 5.7 box,it won’t resolve dns names even with a static ip or putting it on dhcp.I’ve confirmed my resolv.conf file and it currently has two nameservers.

The box routes through my router,my router can resolve dns names correctly but centos can’t,it can ping the internet but cant make dns requests.If i specify a static dns entry on the router then centos can resolve that,i’ve also tried making the primary dns ip as the same gateway that the router uses but no help.

Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated at this point

Comment on Unix 101 / Unzipping Files by gare

hello gbviswanadh,

The -j switch of tar command handles bzip2 files. So to unzip a .bz2 file use tar like this:

tar -xvfj file.tar.bz2

This should unzip the bzip2 zip, then extract the tarred file.
