Cygwin cron setup

Posted on

Use Below command to setup cron as service

$ cron-config
Do you want to remove or reinstall it (yes/no) yes
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ] ntsec
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) no
Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes

Next use crontab to create the sceduled task

$ crontab -e
0 0 * * * rsync -avz --delete --password-file /etc/rsync.pwd /cygdrive/g/www/ rsync://[email protected]:/Public/www

This syncs my laptop with my NAS every day at midnight. I also have a task in my windows Task Manager to wake the laptop from sleep at that time to do the sync. So I can sleep, without worry.

XenServer 6.2 SP1 with Ubuntu 14.04

Posted on

First create a template for 14.04 since it’s not an option:

TEMPLATE_UUID=`xe template-list name-label="Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 (64-bit)" params=uuid --minimal`
NEW_TEMPLATE_UUID=`xe vm-clone uuid=$TEMPLATE_UUID new-name-label="Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (64-bit)"`
xe template-param-set other-config:default_template=true other-config:debian-release=trusty uuid=$NEW_TEMPLATE_UUID

With 6.2 SP1 and all the patches, it works out of the box.

The only thing left to do is to install Xen Tools with this command:

sudo dpkg -i /media//Linux/xe-guest-utilities_6.1.0-1031_amd64.deb
