linux
When trying to reboot a Linux server I got the typical ‘System going down for reboot now’, but the server has not rebooted. I have tried:reboot shutdown -r nowThe runlevel command returns 5. Any other options for getting this server to reboot? This is a remote machine, so I don’t want to just shut it down if I can avoid that. I am trying to reboot because of a journal abort on /, so / is read-only. Most commands now return ‘bus error’

linux security debian logging audit
Is there a log file that logs information when the values set in /etc/security/limits.conf are exceeded? If the values are too tight in the above file the clients using the website hosted on the server sees errors such as [FATAL] failed to allocate memory . But I wont be intimidated about it. So is there a log? If not is there a way to make it log when the values are exceeded?

Please refer to http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/FAQ_no_graphs at /usr/share/munin/munin-html line 38On searching for this error I can only find issues where munin is not working at all, rather than the intermittent problem that

I’ve done my searching and can’t find an answer to THIS specific issue. I have my minidlna set up and running – but it’s not really done properly. First off, when I open the server on my bluray player, all of my movies are listed twice – when they are certainly not saved on my external twice. Second, when I open the server – rather than reading “Movies” “TV” “Music”, etc – It just mashes all of my movies, tv, and some other folders all together with no real organization. I never had this probl
