So we have an ESXi with a few VMs on it, one of which is an Ubuntu 14.04 hosting a few web aplications.
I’m fed up of using the vSphere client to connect and control the box, in a wee small window. So time to remedy that!
Time for xRDP to allow me to control the same as any other server via MSTSC.
As written in my previous post, the backups had became unwieldy and needed to be archived.
So i added another script to the CronTab to run at 00:01 on the 1st of every month.
I had wanted to do a bit of math to make it see what jobs were created last month and go from there, but that wasn’t so easy.
Using the find command i used any thing greater than 31 days as a catch all and hoped for the best…
I had a need to backup some Call logging/asset management software we have running on a CentOs7 install to a network location, so that we can restore, should everything go tits up.
It contains a backup of the MySQL DB’s and TARing them for moving to a new location and output to a log file.
This could probably be slimmed down immensely, but it was my 1st shell script, so it’s rough around the edges!
