rufus/scheduler every sunday - ruby-on-rails-3

I need to schedule a script using rufus every Sunday at 9pm.
I have the following in my task_schedule.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'rufus/scheduler'
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new
scheduler.every("week") do
puts("Emailing Unverified Evidence Items Digest #{Time.now}")
ArtifactsController.email_unverified_artifacts_digest
end
Want to know what is the syntax for scheduling it every "Sunday at 9pm"?

as indicated in the readme (https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler/), rufus-scheduler understands cron strings, like in:
scheduler.cron("0 21 * * sun") do
# whatever...
end
On your OSX / GNU/Linux system, type "man 5 crontab" in a terminal to have a detailed explanation of that format.
Cheers.
(please note that rufus-scheduler's cron feature doesn't leverage the underlying system's cron daemon)

How to get information on latest successful pod deployment in OpenShift 3.6

I am currently working on making a CICD script to deploy a complex environment into another environment. We have multiple technology involved and I currently want to optimize this script because it's taking too much time to fetch information on each environment.
In the OpenShift 3.6 section, I need to get the last successful deployment for each application for a specific project. I try to find a quick way to do so, but right now I only found this solution :
oc rollout history dc -n <Project_name>
This will give me the following output
deploymentconfigs "<Application_name>"
REVISION STATUS CAUSE
1 Complete config change
2 Complete config change
3 Failed manual change
4 Running config change
deploymentconfigs "<Application_name2>"
REVISION STATUS CAUSE
18 Complete config change
19 Complete config change
20 Complete manual change
21 Failed config change
....
I then take this output and parse each line to know which is the latest revision that have the status "Complete".
In the above example, I would get this list :
<Application_name> : 2
<Application_name2> : 20
Then for each application and each revision I do :
oc rollout history dc/<Application_name> -n <Project_name> --revision=<Latest_Revision>
In the above example the Latest_Revision for Application_name is 2 which is the latest complete revision not building and not failed.
This will give me the output with the information I need which is the version of the ear and the version of the configuration that was used in the creation of the image use for this successful deployment.
But since I have multiple application, this process can take up to 2 minutes per environment.
Would anybody have a better way of fetching the information I required?
Unless I am mistaken, it looks like there are no "one liner" with the possibility to get the information on the currently running and accessible application.
Thanks
Assuming that the currently active deployment is the latest successful one, you may try the following:
oc get dc -a --no-headers | awk '{print "oc rollout history dc "$1" --revision="$2}' | . /dev/stdin
It gets a list of deployments, feeds it to awk to extract the name $1 and revision $2, then compiles your command to extract the details, finally sends it to standard input to execute. It may be frowned upon for not using xargs or the like, but I found it easier for debugging (just drop the last part and see the commands printed out).
UPDATE:
On second thoughts, you might actually like this one better:
oc get dc -a -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n\t"}{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].env}{"\n\t"}{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{"\n-------\n"}{end}'
The example output:
daily-checks
[map[name:SQL_QUERIES_DIR value:daily-checks/]]
docker-registry.default.svc:5000/ptrk-testing/daily-checks#sha256:b299434622b5f9e9958ae753b7211f1928318e57848e992bbf33a6e9ee0f6d94

You get the idea, with expressions like .spec.template.spec.containers[0].env you can reach for specific variables, labels, etc. Unfortunately the jsonpath output is not available with oc rollout history.
UPDATE 2:
You could also use post-deployment hooks to collect the data, if you can set up a listener for the hooks. Hopefully the information you need is inherited by the PODs. More info here: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.10/dev_guide/deployments/deployment_strategies.html#lifecycle-hooks

Tandem (Guardian OS) scheduler

I've an assignment to run the command on Tandem by periodic time
I've work on Windows and Unix before and know that OS have there own schedule task but I cannot find one on Tandem
I've ask HPE support they mention that I must by a tool name "NetBatch" to make a schedule
now I come up with a solution by create job to run command like this
1.Run command
2.Wait time
2.Run command
4.Wait time
Have anyone here have experience with schedule task on Tandem please advice
Thanks
You can create a tacl script with a loop, add all commands you want in that loop with #DELAY at end of the loop so that the script waits till next iteration of loop
To add persistance to your script you can configure it under pathway as below:
RESET SERVER
SET SERVER MAXSERVERS 1
SET SERVER NUMSTATIC 1
SET SERVER PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYS01.TACL
SET SERVER TMF OFF
SET SERVER IN $receive
SET SERVER ASSIGN TACLCSTM, $vol.subvol.taclin ==The script that you want to execute
SET SERVER OUT $vol.subvol.uroutfil ==Output printed from your script
ADD SERVER mytacl
You could switch to from Guardian to OSS and use crontab on tandem OSS
Yes you can insert wait between two [tandem advanced command language] TACL commands by entering some other command or using something from history like opening files.
dsply pr, prc310
cmprfile -28, today, range
cmprtime 00,23
dsply pr, prc310, diff
NOTE: The last code executes with a time difference of 3 seconds.
This will surely delay the simultaneous command from being executed at the same time.
I also faced the same situation, and followed above hack to get it rectified.

Monit for "cron-like" tasks

Have some batch-type jobs that I would like to move from cron to Monit but am struggling to get them to work properly. These scripts typically run once a day, but on occasion have to be re-ran later in the day. Goal is to take advantage of the monit & m/monit front-ends to re-run as well as be alerted on failure in similar fashion to other things under monit.
The below was my first attempt. I know the docs say to use range/wildcard for minute field but I have my monit daemon set to cycle every 20 seconds so thought I'd be able to get away with this.
check program test.sh
with path "/usr/local/bin/test.sh"
every "0 7 * * *"
if status != 0 then alert
This does not seem to work as it seems like it picks up the exit status of the program on the NEXT run. So I have a zombie process sitting around until 7am the next day, at which time I'll see the status from the previous day's run.
Would be nice if this ran immediate or if there was a way to schedule something as "batch" that would only run once when started (either from command line or web gui). Example below.
check program test.sh
with path "/usr/local/bin/test.sh"
mode batch
if status != 0 then alert
Is it possible to do what I want? Can a 'check program' be scheduled that will only run one time when started or using the 'every [cron]' type syntax supported by monit?
TIA for any suggestions.
The latest version of monit (5.18) now picks up the exit status on the next daemon cycle, not on the next execution of the program like in the past (which might not be until the next day).

Apache httpd rotatelogs: is it possible to create a new file every day?

I want to make a new logs for my website every 00:00:01 (= each new day).
The problem with rotatelogs is that you can either precise the max size of the logs before creating a new one, or precise the rotation time in seconds. It's not possible to precise an hour of rotation.
They talk about "cronjobs", but I don't get it. Could someone please explain if it's possible, and if so, give an example?
Thank you very much
Following is the help of the rotatelogs utility:
/ # /opt/httpd/bin/rotatelogs --help Incorrect number of arguments
Usage: /opt/httpd/bin/rotatelogs [-l] [-f] {|} [offset minutes from UTC]
Add this:
TransferLog "|/opt/httpd/bin/rotatelogs /some/where 86400"
or
TransferLog "|/opt/httpd/bin/rotatelogs /some/where 5M"
to httpd.conf. The generated name will be /some/where.nnnn where nnnn
is the system time at which the log nominally starts (N.B. if using a
rotation time, the time will always be a multiple of the rotation
time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each
rotation time or when the file size is reached a new log is started. /
#
According to this section of the manual page for rotatelogs:
rotationtime
The time between log file rotations in seconds. The rotation
occurs at the beginning of this interval. For example, if the
rotation time is 3600, the log file will be rotated at the
beginning of every hour; if the rotation time is 86400, the log
file will be rotated every night at midnight.
setting 86400 as the period will do what you want (new file started at midnight every day).
Also use the -l option if you want "midnight" to be in your local timezone rather than UTC.
The case when a cronjob would be needed is if you wanted a period of one day but at a different time than midnight. More general tools like logrotate (outside apache) are typically used for that.

Nano hacks: most useful tiny programs you've coded or come across

It's the first great virtue of programmers. All of us have, at one time or another automated a task with a bit of throw-away code. Sometimes it takes a couple seconds tapping out a one-liner, sometimes we spend an exorbitant amount of time automating away a two-second task and then never use it again.
What tiny hack have you found useful enough to reuse? To make go so far as to make an alias for?
Note: before answering, please check to make sure it's not already on favourite command-line tricks using BASH or perl/ruby one-liner questions.
i found this on dotfiles.org just today. it's very simple, but clever. i felt stupid for not having thought of it myself.

Here's a filter that puts commas in the middle of any large numbers in standard input.
$ cat ~/bin/comma
#!/usr/bin/perl -p
s/(\d{4,})/commify($1)/ge;
sub commify {
local $_ = shift;
1 while s/^([ -+]?\d+)(\d{3})/$1,$2/;
return $_;
}
I usually wind up using it for long output lists of big numbers, and I tire of counting decimal places. Now instead of seeing
-rw-r--r-- 1 alester alester 2244487404 Oct 6 15:38 listdetail.sql
I can run that as ls -l | comma and see
-rw-r--r-- 1 alester alester 2,244,487,404 Oct 6 15:38 listdetail.sql
This script saved my career!
Quite a few years ago, i was working remotely on a client database. I updated a shipment to change its status. But I forgot the where clause.
I'll never forget the feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw (6834 rows affected). I basically spent the entire night going through event logs and figuring out the proper status on all those shipments. Crap!
So I wrote a script (originally in awk) that would start a transaction for any updates, and check the rows affected before committing. This prevented any surprises.
So now I never do updates from command line without going through a script like this. Here it is (now in Python):
import sys
import subprocess as sp
pgm = "isql"
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
print "Usage: \nsql sql-string [rows-affected]"
sys.exit()
sql_str = sys.argv[1].upper()
max_rows_affected = 3
if len(sys.argv) > 2:
max_rows_affected = int(sys.argv[2])
if sql_str.startswith("UPDATE"):
sql_str = "BEGIN TRANSACTION\\n" + sql_str
p1 = sp.Popen([pgm, sql_str],stdout=sp.PIPE,
shell=True)
(stdout, stderr) = p1.communicate()
print stdout
# example -> (33 rows affected)
affected = stdout.splitlines()[-1]
affected = affected.split()[0].lstrip('(')
num_affected = int(affected)
if num_affected > max_rows_affected:
print "WARNING! ", num_affected,"rows were affected, rolling back..."
sql_str = "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION"
ret_code = sp.call([pgm, sql_str], shell=True)
else:
sql_str = "COMMIT TRANSACTION"
ret_code = sp.call([pgm, sql_str], shell=True)
else:
ret_code = sp.call([pgm, sql_str], shell=True)
I use this script under assorted linuxes to check whether a directory copy between machines (or to CD/DVD) worked or whether copying (e.g. ext3 utf8 filenames -> fusebl
k) has mangled special characters in the filenames.
#!/bin/bash
## dsum Do checksums recursively over a directory.
## Typical usage: dsum <directory> > outfile
export LC_ALL=C # Optional - use sort order across different locales
if [ $# != 1 ]; then echo "Usage: ${0/*\//} <directory>" 1>&2; exit; fi
cd $1 1>&2 || exit
#findargs=-follow # Uncomment to follow symbolic links
find . $findargs -type f | sort | xargs -d'\n' cksum
Sorry, don't have the exact code handy, but I coded a regular expression for searching source code in VS.Net that allowed me to search anything not in comments. It came in very useful in a particular project I was working on, where people insisted that commenting out code was good practice, in case you wanted to go back and see what the code used to do.
I have two ruby scripts that I modify regularly to download all of various webcomics. Extremely handy! Note: They require wget, so probably linux. Note2: read these before you try them, they need a little bit of modification for each site.
Date based downloader:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
Day = 60 * 60 * 24
Fromat = "hjlsdahjsd/comics/st%Y%m%d.gif"
t = Time.local(2005, 2, 5)
MWF = [1,3,5]
until t == Time.local(2007, 7, 9)
if MWF.include? t.wday
`wget #{t.strftime(Fromat)}`
sleep 3
end
t += Day
end
Or you can use the number based one:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
Fromat = "http://fdsafdsa/comics/%08d.gif"
1.upto(986) do |i|
`wget #{sprintf(Fromat, i)}`
sleep 1
end
Instead of having to repeatedly open files in SQL Query Analyser and run them, I found the syntax needed to make a batch file, and could then run 100 at once. Oh the sweet sweet joy! I've used this ever since.
isqlw -S servername -d dbname -E -i F:\blah\whatever.sql -o F:\results.txt
This goes back to my COBOL days but I had two generic COBOL programs, one batch and one online (mainframe folks will know what these are). They were shells of a program that could take any set of parameters and/or files and be run, batch or executed in an IMS test region. I had them set up so that depending on the parameters I could access files, databases(DB2 or IMS DB) and or just manipulate working storage or whatever.
It was great because I could test that date function without guessing or test why there was truncation or why there was a database ABEND. The programs grew in size as time went on to include all sorts of tests and become a staple of the development group. Everyone knew where the code resided and included them in their unit testing as well. Those programs got so large (most of the code were commented out tests) and it was all contributed by people through the years. They saved so much time and settled so many disagreements!
I coded a Perl script to map dependencies, without going into an endless loop, For a legacy C program I inherited .... that also had a diamond dependency problem.
I wrote small program that e-mailed me when I received e-mails from friends, on an rarely used e-mail account.
I wrote another small program that sent me text messages if my home IP changes.
To name a few.
Years ago I built a suite of applications on a custom web application platform in PERL.
One cool feature was to convert SQL query strings into human readable sentences that described what the results were.
The code was relatively short but the end effect was nice.
I've got a little app that you run and it dumps a GUID into the clipboard. You can run it /noui or not. With UI, its a single button that drops a new GUID every time you click it. Without it drops a new one and then exits.
I mostly use it from within VS. I have it as an external app and mapped to a shortcut. I'm writing an app that relies heavily on xaml and guids, so I always find I need to paste a new guid into xaml...
Any time I write a clever list comprehension or use of map/reduce in python. There was one like this:
if reduce(lambda x, c: locks[x] and c, locknames, True):
print "Sub-threads terminated!"
The reason I remember that is that I came up with it myself, then saw the exact same code on somebody else's website. Now-adays it'd probably be done like:
if all(map(lambda z: locks[z], locknames)):
print "ya trik"
I've got 20 or 30 of these things lying around because once I coded up the framework for my standard console app in windows I can pretty much drop in any logic I want, so I got a lot of these little things that solve specific problems.
I guess the ones I'm using a lot right now is a console app that takes stdin and colorizes the output based on xml profiles that match regular expressions to colors. I use it for watching my log files from builds. The other one is a command line launcher so I don't pollute my PATH env var and it would exceed the limit on some systems anyway, namely win2k.
I'm constantly connecting to various linux servers from my own desktop throughout my workday, so I created a few aliases that will launch an xterm on those machines and set the title, background color, and other tweaks:
alias x="xterm" # local
alias xd="ssh -Xf me#development_host xterm -bg aliceblue -ls -sb -bc -geometry 100x30 -title Development"
alias xp="ssh -Xf me#production_host xterm -bg thistle1 ..."
I have a bunch of servers I frequently connect to, as well, but they're all on my local network. This Ruby script prints out the command to create aliases for any machine with ssh open:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'dnssd'
handle = DNSSD.browse('_ssh._tcp') do |reply|
print "alias #{reply.name}='ssh #{reply.name}.#{reply.domain}';"
end
sleep 1
handle.stop
Use it like this in your .bash_profile:
eval `ruby ~/.alias_shares`
