CPU 100% All Times

Since a several days, I started to notice that my Fedora 20 is very slow, I ma using KDE and not Gnome. Wgen I fire system nonitor, I see RAM is around 60%, CPU shooting constantly 100 to 99%.

I opened a command line, ran top, getting "system-config-s" constantly not less than 95%

Systemd Starting Services

hi all

I am learning systemd and how to add new services as part of the LFS201 course and I have a question about the services:
Code:
Lab 4.2: Adding a New Startup Service with systemd
For example a very minimal file named
/etc/systemd/system/fake2.service:
[Unit]
Description=fake2
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/echo I am starting the fake2 service
ExecStop=/bin/echo I am stopping the fake2 service
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Code:
root@ubuntu:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl start fake.service
root@ubuntu:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl status fake.service
 fake.service - fake
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/fake.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

May 16 11:41:05 ubuntu systemd[1]: Started fake.
May 16 11:41:05 ubuntu systemd[1]: Starting fake...
May 16 11:41:05 ubuntu echo[1798]: I am starting the fake2 service
May 16 11:41:05 ubuntu echo[1800]: I am stopping the fake2 service
root@ubuntu:/etc/systemd/system# ps aux | grep fake*
root      1809  0.0  0.0  13688  2272 pts/8    S+   11:41   0:00 grep --color=auto fake.service
root@ubuntu:/etc/systemd/system#

as you can see the fake2 service is really only two lines. And when I grep for the service via ps I can't fine it. I guess it is because it has finished running. I am wondering how can I change it so that I can keep it running?

thanks

Become A Root Wiht Public Key Access

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about how to give sudo privileges to a user that log in via public key without password.

I created a normal user and I added this user to the "visudo" folder with ALL privileges.

when the user is logged in the system via public key and the user wants to become a root, a password is requested but i don't want to type the password.

Also to add the public key to the root it is not possible because i track the user log in in the system and if they log via root i cannot do that.

Thank you in advance.

TimeZone Problem

Dear Friends ,

My date value shows One hour ahead from the present time in BDT . I stay on Asia/Dhaka zone and +6.00 . Please look @ the below output :

------------------------------------------------------------
[root@pbldc-ntpsrv Asia]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
# The ZONE parameter is only evaluated by system-config-date.
# The timezone of the system is defined by the contents of /etc/localtime.
ZONE="Asia/Dhaka"
UTC=true
ARC=false
-------------------------------------------------------------


But , My problem is , the below Date command output shows 'BDST' instead of 'BDT' .
------------------------------------
"[root@pbldc-ntpsrv Asia]# date
Sat May 9 16:59:37 BDST 2015
-------------------------------------
But it should be :

---------------------------------
[root@pbldc-ntpsrv Asia]# date
Sat May 9 15:59:37 BDT 2015
---------------------------------

---------------------
[root@pbldc-ntpsrv ~]# date +Z
BDST --Should be BDT
[root@pbldc-ntpsrv ~]# date +%z
+0700 --Should bt +0600
[root@pbldc-ntpsrv ~]#

------------------------------------

X11 Connection Rejected Due To Wrong Authentication

hi experts

I got a bit of problem with the below situation:

Code:
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# virt-manager &
[1] 4663
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

[1]+  Done                    virt-manager
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# su test
test@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs$  virt-manager &
[1] 4679

As you can see, I ssh into my ubuntu host with user test, but during some nfs config I su into root, then try to launch virt-manager GUI via X11. Which obviously fails I guess since root wants to launch X11 session but I established the session as user test.

My question is this: Is there a way to stop this from happening? to allow my root to launch the GUI as well?

Thanks

Root Terminal: 'Granted Permissions Without Asking For Password' - Is This Normal?

I am using debian 7.7 stable and when I open the root terminal it asks for the password.

But if I open it again, I get the message: 'Granted permissions without asking for password. The /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator program was started with the privileges of the root user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's authentication mechanism setup'.

Oh, really? Because I don't remember setting up any 'authentication mechanism setup'.
How can I change this so the root terminal always asks for the password?
Do I have a trojan already? Because I installed the OS just a few days ago.

Thanks very much.

Sed: Transforming 'ls-laR' Output Into A List With Absolute Paths

Hello, this is my first post
First i would like to thank you all for answering other people questions because I've been able to learn from the forum a lot.

I need your help with something.
I have standard output from 'ls -laR /etc' command which looks like this:
Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  29 Apr  1 00:46 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root  54 Apr  1 00:43 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 Apr  1 00:46 00-keyboard.conf

/etc/xdg:
total 12
drwxr-xr-x.  4 root root   36 Apr  1 00:43 .
drwxr-xr-x. 87 root root 8192 Apr 12 13:53 ..
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 systemd

by using sed command:
Code:
sed -e '/./!d' -e '/^total/d' -e '/\.$/d' -e 's/:$/\//' list.txt

I have transformed it to the following form:

Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 Apr  1 00:46 00-keyboard.conf
/etc/xdg/
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 systemd

and now I would like to achieve absolute paths at the end of each row

Code:
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  232 Apr  1 00:46 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 /etc/xdg/autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 /etc/xdg/systemd


How do I join(merge) filenames with corresponding absolute path to their parent directory?



I know how to extract filenames using awk and get this:
Code:
00-keyboard.conf

autostart
systemd

but I don't know what to do next. Should I use some hitech sed option or go for loop or try with arrays? Help. Heeeelp

User Permitted To Run Command,execute Program As Root And After Execution, Exit Root

when a command is typed(i.e. /path/to/the/program), as a normal user, he should be able to run that command , execute that program as ROOT and log out root after the execution is completed.
Only one user should be able to do it.
Hence, I have created a new user vj and added the following command in visudo:
Code:
vj ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/the/program

Now user vj will be able to typein the command.

What I need is that the program which is been called must run as if it is run by a root user,and when the program is completely executed, exit the root user.

How do I proceed?

Why Should I Always Use Chmod When Not As A Root User

System Info:

I have normal user in CentOS 7 whose name is "mostafa" (the name of the account).

I naturally have another user called root with all privileges. User "mostafa" is put into sudoers file, too.

The OS is installed in VmWare, so the system is all mine.

Problem:

Now I create a file with touch file.sh and put a command in it, but when I want to run it with Code:
sudo ./file.sh

, an error is shown that the command Code:
./file.sh

does not exist. But if I Code:
 sudo chmod 777 ./file.sh

then it gets run. My question is that, why should I use Code:
chmod 777

when I myself have created the file, and I am in sudoers.

Can anyone explain me why shuold I still use Code:
sudo chmod 777

when the creator of the file is me.
