Script is not running as cron job
Be sure you set cron job right.
I assume your script is running manually.
You can check it has executed from cron
# tail -f /var/log/cron
Also check root mails to errors.
# less /var/mail/root
Probably you have environment variables problem.
You can check differences between you cron and command environment
# env > /tmp/envmanual
and put a cron job
* * * * * env > /tmp/envcron
Look for differences
# diff /tmp/env*
Put differences that you found in your script and export them.
e.g export TERM=linux

Oracle tablespace Backup/Restore (OS backup)
I tested tablespace recovery.
Be sure your database in archive mode
SQL> archive log list;
SQL> select count(*) from hr.employees;
Begin backup.
SQL> alter tablespace example begin backup;
Check the tablespace in backup state
SQL> select * from v$backup;
Prepare hr account
SQL> alter user hr account unlock;
SQL> alter user hr identified by hr;
# sqlplus hr/hr
Make some changes
SQL> create table employees2 as select * from employees;
Backup your file (This means that if you put your database in backup state you can do filesystem backup for oracle)
# cp example01.dbf example01.dbf.backup
End backup mode
# sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter tablespace example end backup;
Shutdown database, delete table and restore table
SQL> shutdown abort;
# rm example01.dbf
# sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 5 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/example01.dbf'
You want database to be open while you are restoring tablespace.
SQL> alter database datafile '/path/example01.dbf' offline;
SQL> alter database open;
Restore tablespace and recover it
# mv example01.dbf.backup example01.dbf
SQL> recover tablespace example;
SQL> alter tablespace example online;
Verify recovery
# sqlplus hr/hr
SQL> select count(*) from employees2;

Oracle Offline Database Backup/Restore (OS backup)
I did some tests. Here I backed up oracle and do some changes. Later I restored with copying files. You can just copy or use any backup software.
Backup
RMAN> connect target;
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
copy oracle datafiles to backup directory
#cp -R /oracle_datafiles_dir/* /backup_dir/
remove redolog files
#rm redo*.log /backdir
Break down your database
open database and do some changes
RMAN> startup;
shutdown database and delete datafiles
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
#rm /oracle_datafiles_dir/*.dbf
Restore
Move backup files to original directory
#cp -R /backup_dir/* /oracle_datafiles_dir/
start database
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> recover database until cancel;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
You do not have to do last two steps if you backup redo logs and restore it.

Understanding Load Average
Please take a look for details:
http://www.teamquest.com/resources/gunther/display/5/index.htm
Summary
So, what have we learned? Those three innocuous looking numbers in the LA triplet have a surprising amount of depth behind them.
The triplet is intended to provide you with some kind of information about how much work has been done on the system in the recent past (1 minute), the past (5 minutes) and the distant past (15 minutes).
As you will have discovered if you tried the LA Triplets quiz, there are problems:
1. The "load" is not the utilization but the total queue length.
2. They are point samples of three different time series.
3. They are exponentially-damped moving averages.
4. They are in the wrong order to represent trend information.

Vbscript write log file entries to event log
this script reads log files at these server and writes every line to windows event log for the related server.
you can specify search keyword via regex for lines. Please find detailed information here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974570.aspx#scripting05_topic2
change regex details for yourself.
If there is any error when executing script, it sends you an email about the problem.
I use this script Global Array Manager (GAM) log entries for writing them to windows event log. So we can monitor these entries and raise error via MOM.

ssh auto login
You want to auto login Host B from Host A
Host A Look in your ~/.ssh directory. There should be two files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. If not, create them using ssh-keygen -t rsa.
Host B Append local id_rsa.pub to the Host B ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
The file mode of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys must be 644. You can assure this with chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
You might have to change your /etc/sshd_config and add the following lines:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

Hp Openview active passive state
I coded this script because hp openview does not have script to track status of active and passive system together and reflect status of service(I mean two server is working for one aim) in service graph screen.
Put this script both active and passive system. It is going to help tracking status of servers and if active system goes down the script running on passive system change status to critical in service graph screen. If passive system goes down the script on the active system is going to change status to ok in service graph screen why because active system is working, so you are serving you service.
You have to create this file C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ACTIVE on the active server.

Most used rpm commands
Automatic installation, you are tired of installing packages one by one and finding requirements use this:
rpm –ivh --aid xsane*
Ok this is most useful (after install option :)) command that checks if package files changed
rpm -V packagename
If you want to be sure that you are installing signed packages
gpg --import gpg_key (find gpg_key from Red Hat)
rpm --import gpg_key
rpm --checksig package_file_name (This command checks signature)
rpm -qa (gives all packages installed)
rpm -q packagename -i (gives package information)
rpm -q packagename -l (list files in the package)
rpm -q packagename --requires (show which package required to install this package)

Process explorer
If task manager in windows is not enough for you use this tool.
You can use this tool to suspend some process, if they are spy ware or etc. before cleaning.
Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

ghost or copy a partition to another drive- create identical system
I used this procedure copy my Fedora Linux OS.
Boot server in rescue mode
Boot the server from CDROM with rescue mode. At the boot prompt:
linux rescue
Choose mount filesystem when it is asked.
Create folder under root
mkdir /destination
Mount your destination partition under
mount /dev/hdb1 /destination
Copy all of them, because all files are not used by any process you will not have any problem
cp -ar /mnt/sysimage /destination
or copy all disk
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
If you are copying your boot partition you have to install grub for booting system
move hdb to hda (You have to switch master slave jumpers for both of disks)
Boot with rescue mode, mount filesystem (if you have problem, you know partitin location mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage)
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install
Now you have copy of the system...

SAN driver on Red Hat
There are some trick for installing qla drivers in Red Hat servers:
One of them is using up to date gcc
The other is you need up to date cciss driver, because if you compile qla drivers with old cciss driver, servers try to boot from storage through hba.
BTW there is another important situation, your device number could change in the future, if you mount with device names it could cause problems after mounting.
So I strictly recommend to label your disks
e2label /dev/sda1 DATA01
fstab --> LABEL= DATA01 data01 ext3 defaults 1 2
OS : Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola)
kernel : 2.4.9-e.35smp
Hardware : HP DL380
HBA : qla2300
Storage : HITACHI DF600F or EMC SYMMETRIX 5771
Installed cciss driver cause trouble, so backup them
cd /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.35smp/kernel/drivers/addon/cciss/
cp cciss.o cciss.o.old
cd /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.35/kernel/drivers/addon/cciss
cp cciss.o cciss.o.old
Install new version
rpm -ivh cpq_cciss-2.4.54-14.rhel21.i686.rpm
reboot server, see if it is booting
Use up to date gcc
mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.296
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc3 /usr/bin/gcc
Install HBA driver
rpm -ivh hp_qla2x00src-7.05.00p8-19.linux.rpm
Install fibeutils you are going to use this
rpm -ivh fibreutils-2.0-4b.linux.i386.rpm
Reboot server
Check your adapter is working

Fujitsu Siemens servers - Server View Agents -
We try to get events from hardware for Fujitsu Siemens servers running Windows OS.
Here is the way how can we collect events for pdu,disk etc.
You have to install GAM for disk messages.
Logging Server View Events to Windows Event Log
Open ServerViewAgents --> Agent Configuration-->Trap Forwarding
Select all for Report to system event log
Choose apply
Then restart serverview agents tool and Click restart.
GAM Installation
Find installation file from lsilogic web site.
Run installation file
There is trick when you want to change settings
If there isnt a user named gamroot in the domain, create user and give a password.
It will be used when you need to change settings. Or you can create user locally.

Osiris:
Osiris is a Host Integrity Monitoring System that periodically monitors one or more hosts for change. It maintains detailed logs of changes to the file system, user and group lists, resident kernel modules, and more. Osiris can be configured to email these logs to the administrator. Hosts are periodically scanned and, if desired, the records can be maintained for forensic purposes. Osiris keeps an administrator apprised of possible attacks and/or nasty little trojans. The purpose here is to isolate changes that indicate a break-in or a compromised system. Osiris makes use of OpenSSL for encryption and authentication in all components.
Filtering is a bit complicated.
