How To Do A Remote Shutdown

Dear Friends,

I am new to scripting. I want a help on script to schedule the shutdown and start up . I am using SUSE Linux system. Can some one guide me please

every night shutdown at 7pm & start it at 7am the next day during the weekdays. On the weekends, the server only needs to restart at 7am on Mondays.

Looking forward for help

Thank you

Regards

I am trying to upgrade/install Nvidia drivers. Instructions say that I need to shutdown x server to do so. How in the world do I do that? I can't seem to find any help for that on the net anywhere.

If I do a
shutdown -r 03:15 &
will this only broadcast the shutdown warning messages to people logged into the server directly, or will this also warn users who are connected to samba shares on this server?

Hi,
This may be silly but (paranoid as I am) I do find this strange, my laptop (Xubuntu) had an update earlier, and as I wanted to shutdown, the system wanted an authentication, I hit cancel and the system logged me out, I logged back in and did not have to authenticate anymore to shutdown...glitch or..."trouble"?
Thanks

PS - I ran RKhunter and it found nothing...

Hi all

This is bothering me too much, please tell me how to change IP address of remote machine while using ssh successfully.

I follow these steps:
1. connect to remote server using 'ssh root@server'
2. Edit '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' file
3. issue 'service network restart' command... (at this point ssh connection gets hanged)
4. Break from hanged ssh connection (<ENTER>~.)
5. Wait for some time to let service restart
6. Then finally, ssh with new ip address.

All is fine, but last time, i did something wrong while assigning new IP address, and after service restart, remote server didn't get new ip address - and now i cant connect to remote server.

Fortunately, i had a friend there, who helped me correct the problem so that i can connect again.

But what to do when there is no one to help? Is there other way i should approach this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

I am running awk command on remote server it is not giving desired results but if i run the same command on local server. it works as expected. Can anybody help me to resolve this and let me know the logic behind this?

Remote server

# ssh test 'free -g | grep Mem | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }''
awk: cmd. line:1: {
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string

local server
# free -g | grep Mem | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }'
31


Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm trying to run an executable file on a remote server using Putty? I downloaded PuTTY and connected through the Putty Configuration window with the SSH connection type selected. Once I connected, the cmd window disappeared so I assume I'm connected. Now I want to run an executable file on the remote server.

How can I run an executable file on my remote Linux server using Putty?

Thanks for any help with this.
