3:00 PM
But the sales engineer isn't involved when it comes to setting up LUN's..
 
@pauska Well, then we need a consultant :)
 
agreed
 
@TomO'Connor Which PSDrive are you performing the Get-Item upon?
 
fast cache + NL-SAS is great, when you have bursts of random I/O and lots of sequential
it will not help when you're drowning in IOPS.. you need faster backend (as in faster and more spindles/SSD's)
a performance survey done by EMC should be able to present the hot spots and tell you how much IOPS you need, which again translates to X number of ssd's/15k's
 
it's only 2000-2500 IOPS. That's not a crazy requirement, coming from the ZFS/Nexenta world
@pauska but client doesn't want to pay for it now. THey see this as a failure
 
3:03 PM
@ewwhite but I thought the client didn't own the hardware?
 
also, one service processor shows idle, the other has very heavy CPU
 
because you have one gigantic LUN
2+ luns striped together by the filers would sort that
it would probably help a ton on the flush ratios aswell
 
@pauska 2 year contact at $x/month. Adding anything or building a new device will cost client moar/month
 
(double the cache and scsi queues essentially)
 
@pauska see, why couldn't EMC have said that?
 
3:04 PM
@ewwhite well, if your own company messed up the client shouldnt pay more..
@ewwhite I'm not even sure if they're aware of the file design on this thing?
he talks about LUN's - in plural
fuck you markdown
 
Yeah, the EMC guy we deal with is block only
 
so obviously, one lun is only served by one SP
 
so I feel like we're not getting the right resources INSIDE of EMC
 
I'm here, but not really much of an expert on EMC
 
Well this isn't really a support case, it's a design flaw by your own techs
the only way to fix this is to move them to a correctly configured vnx (with tiering, for the love of god), and repurpose the old one
 
3:07 PM
@pauska to which there's no nice solution that doesn't require burning it and starting over.
 
didn't they just tell you that you're going to configure a new one soon?
 
@pauska indeed, they did.
 
so move the customer to the new one then
repurpose the old one
who cares? it's the same boxes
You'll need to hire EMC for the migration though
 
@jscott AD, on the users ou
 
if it were block only I'd maybe be able to help (SAN Copy), but file is so much more than that
 
3:09 PM
But client doesn't want it anymore. They're very disappointed.
 
even if you install a new one, and let them benchmark it for a week?
 
@pauska Their app is a 24x7 online ad placement system.
so there's no nice downtime... and no way to predict workload
 
but like we've discussed before, you really can't be sure of the design unless you get a profile on how they use their data. Doing 2500 IOPS on the entire 30TB lun is nonsense.. they must have some hot spots. Identify how large those are, and then scale the tiers.
 
It's a mix of ~200 KVM virtual machines and odd NFS read/write patterns.
with the KVM virtuals also hosted on the same NFS
 
your basket is so full of eggs..
that I can't make up any funny joke right now
 
3:16 PM
:(
 
this is how far it goes really edmund, you know what needs to be done
 
"Hey, can you set up my new printer so it works in remote desktop?" self.eatbullet()
 
@pauska burn it all!
I'm disappointed in my coworkers for not getting this help.
 
better fix it then, so you can be the star
don't point fingers.. it hasn't been a good choice in the past for you :)
but I really have to go now.. maybe I'll be on later
good luck
 
heh.. we'll see
thank you
 
3:27 PM
so, @eww
 
mmhmm
 
er, so, @ewwhite, Turns out that I made the cut for Head First Python 2e Technical Reviewer...
I thought that that was serendipitous...
 
@gWaldo Hm? At work?
 
@ewwhite Well, personally. I don't know when the second edition is going to be released, but it looks pretty good so far
(not part of the day-job)
 
congrats?
That's an interesting responsibility
 
3:31 PM
I just thought that the timing was interesting; I've been meaning to learn python for some time, but circumstance has always conspired against.
 
Oh, you're not already a Python guru?
<-- jealous of those who can code.
 
3:47 PM
@ewwhite I know Perl and Ruby, but I've never gotten around to Python (which I had decided to learn before Perl, and again before Ruby, and then Job circumstances dictated...)
 
@gWaldo hey congrats! I recently started teaching myself Python.
 
@ewwhite Y U NO CODE?!
Start at a shell language, and abstract up from there!
 
@gWaldo I suck at it... and too many snowflake systems.
Well, I shell script... but reluctantly. I graduated from a good CS university, too... rather odd how I made it through
 
@ewwhite Ah, there's your problem... I started learning to code for a couple reasons, but the most useful was gathering info from AD and Windows Servers...
 
I think I've supported developers for so long (produce, finance, etc.) that I realized I didn't think the same way.
 
3:49 PM
sigh Is it just me, or is anyone else irritated by recruiters when the job description asks for Ruby AND Python AND Perl. I feel like most shops generally have one language that they use. I wish they'd just come out and say which one their shop uses.
Even if it says High Proficiency in Ruby, but also some Perl & Python, I'd be happy
And I'm really turned off by recruiters that haven't actually spoken with the hiring manager before they call me. How, exactly, do you know whether I'm a "Perfect Fit" if you haven't talked to the hiring manager....
 
limit the use of recruiters.
go direct when you can
I know the market out there is different, but it is your best bet
 
@ewwhite yeah, market works differently here too. Odds of getting to a phone screen is very low unless you're going through a recruiter or you have an inside contact.
And a lot of these places don't even advertise their position anywhere but their own webpage.
 
@Adrian true
 
Heh. UW has a new position posted. They want someone to do everything from desktop support to RHEL & AD Admin to Web Development in PHP. Good luck with that one....
Oh, and OS X Server experience and 2-3 years of MySQL Database Admin as well.
I should apply for that one just to see if they'll call me back or not considering that I have a little bit of everything but OS X Server.
 
@Adrian OS X Server. What do people even do with that anymore?
 
4:03 PM
@WesleyDavid Apparently it handles the library of Fonts & Languages for their school of arts & languages.
 
@Adrian I can see it being needful if you have a fleet of Macs and want profile management, update centrality, and I guess maybe want to use the built in wiki.
 
anyone heard of Dashlane? Looks decent enough.
 
Worked at a Museum and they had about 40 Macs. One OS X Server (this is five years ago) and it was pretty much only an update and backup server
 
@WesleyDavid They also have Open Directory and AD.
@WesleyDavid Considering the variety of stuff there, I'd be willing to do it for the challenge. But the odds of them being willing to pay even half of what I made at the last job are pretty slim.
@WesleyDavid The only problem I still have with Jessa's(sp?) resume formatting is that it looks like a dog's breakfast in raw text.

Q: vmware esxi 5.0 nested kvm hypervisor

polslinuxI have to do a project for my university so my teacher has given me a VM created with Vmware Esxi 5.0. Inside this VM i have installed Ubuntu 13.04 server and afterwards i installed nova-compute, libvirt, kvm, etc, but when i do kvm-ok i got an error message that says: INFO: Your CPU does not su...

 
4:10 PM
@WesleyDavid I need to remember send her another check. She sat on the check I sent her last autumn so long that the check expired.
 
@Adrian Yes, that's frustrating. I learn this stuff because I find it fun, but seldom is knowing that many languages an actual requirement
 
@Adrian Yeah, I didn't get a plain text version from her, but I also loathe plain text submittal forms and kinda bristle at them. I need to make one myself just to spite myself.
@Adrian And that's colossal silliness. I'm speechless.
 
@Adrian I'll bet it pays about $45k/year, too. Education is ridiculuous about requirements, and pays dirt (and classes, on your time)
 
@ewwhite VMWare has to be configured to allow Virtualization "pass through", yes?
 
@Adrian maybe?
 
4:13 PM
@ewwhite I haven't poked at ESXi since last November and don't have an install handy to verify, but I do recall that being an option in the VM config.
In fact, I need to go shopping for a system today so I can run ESXi5 from home.
 
@Adrian I'll send you one of my broke-ass servers!
 
@ewwhite No thanks. I probably can't afford the electricity.
 
@pauska yeah, you like those gigantic luns, don't you naughty boy :P
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Spoke with HR. Transatlantic calls over a CDMA mobile phone can be a bit rough.
 
@Adrian make sure to use a landline for the actual interview then :-)
 
4:28 PM
@DennisKaarsemaker Amen to that. Even my Lady's VOIP line with her ancient rotary phone has to be better than the mobile.
@DennisKaarsemaker Any news on whether there will be a Seattle position? She was trying really hard to get me to move there. =)
 
@Adrian I explicitely told her that this was for a seattle position :)
One of the people we hired there left after a few weeks for personal reasons. So that team could use another person.
 
@WesleyDavid, @Ward, @ewwhite app.strava.com/activities/51925119 beautiful out there this arvo :)
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Oy. Those are always rough. Had a co-worker like that a few years ago. He thought he was up to working again after recovering from aggressive cancer treatment but couldn't keep up a full-time work pace.
 
@gWaldo I logged in to project euler - I've completed 84 of them :)
 
left after the 3rd day.
 
4:33 PM
@Iain Sigh You almost make me want to buy a bike before the day is over.
 
@Iain Nice! I still haven't created an account
 
Do It!
 
@WesleyDavid Good plan
Today is a great day to buy a bike
3
 
@WesleyDavid DO IT FA^H^HKITTY!
 
BUT WHERE WHAT HOW SIZE TIRES GEARS GEOMETRY... mouth foam
 
4:39 PM
geometry: bike shaped. Tires: round, rubber. Gears: yes. Size: 56cm.
3
 
@Iain Pssh, I went on the fast group ride last night
Turned myself inside-out to hang on at 35mph.
 
@WesleyDavid when you reach the point of needing to worry most of them you'll be a finely honed athlete with a trainer to egt advice from
 
@WesleyDavid I suggest a simple 3 step process:
1. Go to a local bike shop
2. Try out a dozen bikes. Try different handlebar styles, different geometries, different shifting setups, etc
3. Buy the one that felt nicest to ride
 
@Iain 35 miles-per-hour!!
 
4:46 PM
@ewwhite He is a finely honed athlete with a trainer.
 
Chicago is so flat.
 
@ewwhite Wow. 35 mph is a speed I can reach on a good day, on a long downhill, with a solid tail wind...
 
@freiheit That was just riding on flat ground in a group of 50 riders.
In my fitter times, I'd be able to accelerate from that group going 35mph, get to the front and top 40-41 mph
But again, no endurance... One shot and I'm done.
2
 
@ewwhite Yeah. One of the reasons I could never move back home.
 
@ewwhite 40 mph is the speed I remember going on a big downhill where I felt unsteady and had to brake to keep from going any faster...
 
On level ground, I think my top is about 25mph (and only for a brief while. 20mph is the top of what I've been able to do for several miles)
 
Holy crap. Every time I try to get out the door this morning, someone else calls me. I've been trying to leave for two hours....
 
TMOUT=300
readonly TMOUT
export TMOUT
 
@ewwhite I did that speed on Tuesday - at the bottom of a steepish bank
 
@Adrian Answer the phone and do nothing but breathe heavy.
 
4:56 PM
I need a way to kill IDLE sessions
In L.I.N.U.X.
 
first identify how you can discern a session as being idle
 
IDLE is listed in w output
 
@ewwhite sshd ClientAliveInterval?
 
The PCI requirement is 15-minute timeout
the SSHD options can't discern when you're conencted to another server
 
@ewwhite echo "idle 300 quit" >> ~/.screenrc ; screen
 
4:59 PM
the system that needs this is a jump-box
 
@ewwhite idled
or enforce it with the shell.
 
@voretaq7 barely supported.
 
@ewwhite but works.
 
@voretaq7 can't handle long usernames.
or something weird like that
 
5:01 PM
The bash TMOUT sorta works.
 
ewwhite: parse "w" for a list of idle sessions
 
but leaves you connected if logged onto another server
 
ARGH! The phone rang again! Stupid radio marketing survey!
 
then do fuser -k on the pts device
 
@ewwhite I think that IDLE is time since the shell ran something, not "time not doing anything"
 
5:01 PM
@Olipro Basically a ill-idle script
 
e.g. if you see that w shows pts/1 as idle, "fuser -k /dev/pts/1" will nuke it
 
I'm going to go ride my scooter. Later Gents.
 
/me could whip something up in Ruby in minutes
 
@Olipro while that could be done... must be resilient.
I mean other people have PCI compliance needs... Windows offers this.
 
Why would a firewall pass data to an internal host even though the destination port is explicitly denied in/out?
 
5:05 PM
@ewwhite I guess ClientAliveInterval doesn't cut it?
 
@Olipro doesn't seem to.
 
@ewwhite could you put something in /etc/profile that checks for timeouts?
 
@Travis forward allows it ?
 
or their ~/.bash_profile (or tcsh, csh, whatever profile path)
 
5:07 PM
Day off
what do
 
Can't fucking type today
 
@ewwhite nailed it - set ClientAliveCountMax to 0
that way, when your timeout hits, SSHD doesn't bother sending an alive check and just disconnects you instead
 
@ewwhite - why aren't you using the web login for the VPN clients and letting it auto-detect/install?
 
@Olipro the sshd_config ClientAlive stuff is all for verifying that the client and server still have a connection and closing it if one end or the route died instead of leaving it hanging. Like TCP keep alive, except a ping inside the connection. It does not do what you want.
 
@TheCleaner no vpn web login seems to be enabled
 
5:10 PM
@Iain No forwarding.
 
@ewwhite mmmmquite possibly
but then you're back to "Enforce it in the shell"
 
@freiheit no, it applies if no traffic is actively being sent over the channel
I just tested it, it does exactly as intended
 
@ewwhite Seriously, screen can do what you want. tmux probably can, too.
 
@ewwhite I'm not aware of any PCI logout requirement though - where is that in the DSS?
 
ah...OK. I'm new to the Cisco FW world, but here I just deployed it via the AnyConnect in the ASA's and enabled the web login....so much easier and the client is auto-installed. No need to mess with a VPN profile on the client side.
 
5:11 PM
IIRC there's a requirement that workstations lock after a certain amount of time
 
set ClientAliveInterval to 5, set ClientAliveCountMax to 0 then bounced SSH, SSH'd in and let it sit there, kicked me out after 5 seconds
 
@freiheit Yes... but screen and tmux aren't always options here. And with my produce sites, it messes up terminal emulation.
@voretaq7 right.. we need the equivalent of Windows 15 minute screen lock
 
This is good!
 
Boss asked me to kick sessions older than 15 minutes on the jump servers
 
@Iain Odd thing is I'm looking at active connections and never see them even though I have logging for allowed and denied connections
 
5:13 PM
@TheCleaner Is it good or good for a microwaved meal kind of good?
 
@ewwhite so just make the workstations lock their screens :-)
 
@TheCleaner Anyconnect is nice, but I have people who don't wanna pay for SSL VPN licenses.
 
hah...second one...probably tons of sodium...
 
@voretaq7 we all go through a jump server
 
or do people actually log in on the console (outside of an X11 session)?
 
5:13 PM
OpenVPN? Strongswan?
 
workstations already have lock
see: windows 15-minute
 
@ewwhite that should meet the requirement. The endpoints are secured.
(it satisfies our HIPAA requirement anyway - which is basically PCI DSS with stupider auditors.)
 
@voretaq7 Do BSD users feel about Linux users the way Linux users feel about Windows users
 
@JoelESalas yes.
 
@voretaq7 I dunno... maybe it makes sense
what about VPN people and such?
 
5:16 PM
And we despise "Linux developers" who assume the entire world is their favorite distribution and anally violate the POSIX standard with a sharpened penguin.
 
boss wants the 15 min shell timeout
 
@voretaq7 it gets stupider than pcidss?
 
@DennisKaarsemaker the auditors do
then I'd do what @Olipro suggested
because pretty much everything else can be circumvented by the user
 
it's okay if it can be circumvented... just trying to eliminate long-standing idle sessions
 
Why is everything with my iphone a guaranteed nutroll
 
5:18 PM
So at some point recently the VirtualBox people broke the universe (when you restore a snapshot made of a running system it crashes and you have to reboot). Fucking inconvenient...
 
@voretaq7 What crashes? The guest OS or Vbox?
 
@ewwhite In that case put the idle timeout in everyone's default .bashrc (and just state in your policy that you allow users to be an exception to the logout rule)
@JoelESalas the vbox session
 
well that's shitty
 
@JoelESalas it's fucking inconvenient
mostly because it means I have to reboot every time I restore the snapshot, and the whole point of taking a running snapshot was so I didn't have to do that...
 
@voretaq7 Generally when it's something egregious like that, they end up fixing it pretty fast
but it will be a shitty few weeks
 
5:22 PM
@JoelESalas I don't know how long it's been like this - this is the first time I've used snapshots in a while
VBox 4.2.12 so whenever that came out
 
I've had more than my fair share of VirtualBox crashes that required a reboot to fix...
 
@ChrisS workstation reboot? I just did one yesterday
 
Yeah, the host laptop
 
5:37 PM
Impressive Kittycat.
 
@voretaq7 eat that @WesleyDavid :)
 
My grandma's cat used to be able to go from the ground to the top of the china cabinet or fridge - as in, jump on top of the fridge...
Now he's old and can't jump that high anymore.
 
@ChrisS ;_;
 
@ChrisS My cat is 20. He can barely walk anymore. =/
 
That cat is so cute
 
5:43 PM
Is there a single good duplicate file finder for Windows?
 
@JoelESalas Duplicate File Finder, Key Metric Software. Used it for years. It's GUI though, but has fairly complex methods of displaying output and sorting it all.
I've used it on servers and desktops. Not bad, especially for the price.
 
@WesleyDavid Is there a single good FOSS duplicate file finder for Windows?
 
@JoelESalas Not of that caliber that I've been able to find. I wrote about this a while back. Let me see if I can find it...
 
@WesleyDavid I want to port FSlint to windows or some shit
 
@WesleyDavid +1 for this
 
5:47 PM
@JoelESalas This was what I came up with a few years ago: petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=24652
 
The Starbucks seems to be playing the entire set of Carole King's Greatest Hits. KEELMENAO!
 
Couldn't find anything FOSS that was complex enough for my needs.
 
@WesleyDavid Honestly rsync would do it
rsync -av --progress --remove-source-files
 
@JoelESalas My understanding was that it's not based on a hash value of the file? To do that one could find -exec md5sum | xargs do stuff Or whatever. I wanted to search for duplicate names but different checksums, then dupe checksums but different names, then dupe sums with dupe names, then dupe sums with dupe names but different modify dates. Rather complex analysis of a quarter million files.
 
@WesleyDavid I'm sure it all depends on what your goal is with the files. My goal is to reconcile two directories and consolidate them, so I'm only concerned with file contents.
 
5:54 PM
@JoelESalas Oh well in that case, WinMerge.
@JoelESalas Also, PowerShell, for loop, Get-Hash, and RoboCopy.
 
is there anyone in here who can help me with windows server issue?
its related to log auditing
 
@Saladin Ask your question on the main site.
 
but i'm blocked:(
like years ago
 
@Saladin Well heck.
 
lol
 
5:58 PM
What did you do?! You kicked a kitten didn't you. =(
 
no i don't its just scripts
they hate me /
i wrote on superuser instead idk if which site exchange site is more appropriate for this
 
If you were auto-blocked "like years ago" it should have expired by now.
(The appeals process for automatic question/answer bans is community@stackexchange.com if you think the scripts *really* hate you)
 
okay i will write to them
thanks for the link ...
i mean email address :)
@voretaq7 are you on superuser site
 
@Saladin not with any regularity
 
oh okay
you good with windows auditing
 
6:03 PM
OMG. My grandboss wants us to look at moving towards using Cold Fusion...
I didn't even know Cold Fusion was still a thing people would do on purpose...
 
Oh, hi asadz. I didn't realize your ban had expired.
 
it has?
 
@freiheit CFM ALL THE THINGS
You're in chat.
 
what ban are you talking about
i was never banned from chatting on this site..
 
I could have sworn you got a chat ban before changing your name.
 
6:05 PM
no i didn't
it was just ban on posting questions
 
@freiheit "I looked into it. It's (still) a bad idea."
 
Got fucking drunk last night. Coworkers wanted to send me off, 20 people showed up at a dive bar. Two beers, four rounds of shots, hookah, then koreatown. I'm gonna miss those guys
 
OK, new vote for best Off-Topic question on SF serverfault.com/questions/504568/…
 
@gWaldo I'm not involved. Nobody who knows better is involved. I won't be involved until it's a done deal, because when the technology ignorant grandboss makes technology decisions, the people that know anything don't need to be consulted.

Q: can a single wire/cable can have multiple ip address?

satishsagii am using some private broadband which gives same external ip address to all it's users. we want to use the configuration(internal ip,subnet,default gateway,DNS servers) given by ISP inorder to connect to internet. They give a cable for every user from their routers so , we dont need any router...

I'm surprised he figured out how to install VMware to be honest.
 
6:11 PM
Wires have IP addresses?
 
@freiheit I may be nosy, but I invariably have to care, so I push myself into those discussions when I hear the 'biz types' discussing things outside of their weight-class.
 
@EvanAnderson The hard part is encoding them. You need to be very careful when you're crimping the plug so you don't mess up the dip scoring.
 
You can use a Brady labeler and put lots of IP addresses on a wire. Get the vinyl labels, they last longer.
 
@gWaldo Our CIO is a non-techy manager that got put over IT. He's meeting with 2 of the techy managers (mine and another one). Hopefully it'll just be an evaluation comparing to other less crazy webdev platforms. Django's already being looked at pretty seriously.
 
@freiheit Just go up to someone with which you have some rapport and say "CF is a bad idea. It always has been, but now it's a complete dead-end. The only possible reason to go down that road is if a boss's relative has a CF Consulting shop and really needs the business. Which should further indicate that it's a bad idea."
 
6:13 PM
@WesleyDavid Am I correct in assuming that if I'm only comparing file names and file sizes, it should all be metadata and you don't have to seek to the part of the disk with the actual file on it?
 
Holy fuck CF is still being updated?! WHO THE SHIT USES THAT?!
 
@gWaldo rumor is the boss's ex knows CF
 
@freiheit Third reason to not use it!
 
@gWaldo That's what I said when I looked into it! Both parts!
 
@gWaldo I think I may or may not know of some medium-large sized US institutions of higher education that may or may not use CF.
 
6:15 PM
"why no one answering and giving down votes..... i have doubt and i ask it... is ther any problem to u??" - I know I can't speak a foreign language...but I love when the translation goes this way. any problem to u?
 
@ScottPack: I write the IP addresses on the wires with a Sharpie(tm) brand marker.
 
@ScottPack Oh jesus, COLDFUSION?? Why have you allowed evil to endure
 
BTW folks if you haven't seen the trailer yet..."Now you see me" looks freaking sweet.
 
@EvanAnderson I use my pocket knife to score the individual conductors. Each pair contains the marks necessary to encode one octet. That way it's permanent.
 
@freiheit I'd love it if Adobe would scrap that team and repurpose them to making installers that don't shit on themselves... Maybe follow host-OS install conventions...
 
6:17 PM
@JoelESalas I don't work in web development, hoss.
 
@JoelESalas That I don't know. Not sure how NTFS or Windows MFT handles queries for file data like that.
 
@freiheit link link
 
So in other words I'm useless.

@gWaldo Could the not self-shitting installers add more toolbars?
 
@WesleyDavid insta-star
 
6:17 PM
@ScottPack - not a bad idea...might save me from having to bundle them together using my stapler.
 
@JoelESalas That's from peeking at a meeting proposal, not a linkable thingy. :)
 
@freiheit Toolbars optional. Or not
 
@WesleyDavid you should get a bicycle!
 
@freiheit Instant popularity, acceptance, and women?!
 
@WesleyDavid Yes, but especially: instant bicycle!!!
 
6:22 PM
hey @MarkHenderson...
To help (a little), the cable is simply the conduit/medium. Specific to you, yes your Mac and VM can have different IPs and transmit data on the same wire just fine. <waves dead chicken over comments> — TheCleaner 55 secs ago

runawaybrainz.blogspot.com/2012/12/… "Not only will the new VE400 act like any other external HDD enclosure, you also have the ability to store/boot and load ISO images from your CD/DVD/BD collection, just as if it was a physical optical drive!"
 
any suggestions for a free alternative to FolderSizes? I love their software just looking for a free Windows alternative.

Lesson learned...don't try to answer a -7 down voted question...
 
@TheCleaner WinDirStat!

@TheCleaner seconding WinDirStat, though I've found it to be unstable at times
 
so, who uses what for versioning their switch/router/etcetera configs? let your opinions run wild
 
@TheCleaner TreeSize Free, as MikeyB said. I use both it and WinDirStat. WDS is okay most of the time, but a bit slow and doesn't have much in the way of analysis tools.
 
@Olipro I don't currently, but I would just keep them in a git/hg repo...
 
6:30 PM
@Olipro RANCID appears to be the de-facto standard
 
yeah... RANCID, eww
 
@TheCleaner mind if I take the comment part of the question here [so as to not clutter it up too bad]?
 
@Olipro It may suck, but it's true.
 
and with that, I shall now proceed to blatantly whore something I've created
 
6:31 PM
@TheCleaner Oh, SpaceMonger too. I've used it and it was good back in the day. "The day" being 2007" Also, SpaceSniffer might work, but I never used it.
 
@Clickinaway - sure thing...no worries
 
@WesleyDavid Oh Spacemonger, how I loved thee
 
@TheCleaner yeah i really hate to trouble you with this. I thought the -h bypassed UAC? I updated my comment FYI, both local accounts already at admin level
 
@Olipro Does that handle grabbing all of the contexts from PIX/ASA OS in multiple context mode?
 
6:33 PM
it will SSH and run any arbitrary commands you want it to
 
Ah, too bad. I already wrote that in perl a few years ago.
I was hoping for something I didn't have to maintain. :)
 
Scott: does yours use Git with a native library? :P
 
@Olipro Subversion. Git didn't exist when I wrote it
 
heh
 
@ScottPack Civil War's over, grandpa
 
6:35 PM
@JoelESalas I abandoned that post long ago kiddo.
 
@Clickinaway - I'm honestly just best guessing at your issue...I haven't tested it locally. If it already has local admin access, I'm not sure why running PS as your domain admin account and then running PSEXEC as the other local\account in PS would work, but then fail when you run PS as the local\account.
 
i can try to disable UAC later in the day...requires reboot as I said so gotta be off hours...at least our online users wont be here in person to get grumpy
I'm trying find specific documentation about needing to turn off UAC for PSEXEC.
 
@ScottPack Looks like Internet2 uses CF
 
@Travis scanning doc
 
6:44 PM
@Clickinaway Also dumb question, are your right clicking, run as admin say for the cmd prompt window?
 
for my workflow I cannot. My source server is running a PY script which initiates a bat on the target server (which then runs a SSIS package)
the source (GIS) server by default uses a local account to handle all of its activity
@Travis god this thing is a rabbit hole...one link in a thread leads to another link in another thread
 
@Clickinaway Yep. I should have linked the 2nd one. I may have missed it, but what's the purpose of the PSEXEC (in your PY script?)
 
Does anyone know when grub-install changed from (hd#) to /dev/sd# as the installation target? Or why there is precisely zero backwards compatibility?
 
@JoelESalas You like that tool? I always liked it back when my Jr Admin / Tech Support position involved sifting through TBs of old crap on multiple file systems.
@freiheit INTERNET 2: The packets are back, and this time they're pissed!
 
@Travis it runs a bat file on my target/remote system which stores a DTEXEC statement for running a SQL Server Integration Services package package...its the easiest way to remotely run an SSIS package. I can give you a complete run down of the workflow if you really wanna know :p
 
6:55 PM
@Clickinaway Nah, lol. My curiosity would be is there some other method to invoke the BAT file on the remote system via a scheduled task rather than PSEXEC.
 
@Travis this workflow basically allows for a live upload of XY coordinates to an SQL table. The front-end of this web-based GIS: users download their data from hand held units, upload them to the server, and they are displayed for them [and for me being the data monger I am I get what I want out of it]
@Travis are you citing the regedit change?
 
@Clickinaway You mean the link that has you disable UAC
?
