Monday, October 13th, 2008

If you guys are getting this error on your Webmin log file /var/webmin/miniserv.error here’s how I solved the problem.

miniserv.pl started
Perl module Authen::PAM needed for PAM is not installed : Can't locate Authen/PAM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec/webmin /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 10) line 1.

Display GNU/Linux & Unix Uptime Command In PHP

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

I was looking for a solution on how to display the /usr/bin/uptime command in PHP and I came across this simple yet very useful script for me since sometimes I don’t want to login or anything.

So to display your box’s uptime just create a file called uptime.php or whatever you want to call it. And then paste the following code.

<?php

$uptime = passthru ("/usr/bin/uptime");
echo "$uptime";

?>

Take note that this has no formatting whatsoever, so that’s all up to you if you want to use a style sheet or not.

If you can’t see the uptime command being displayed make sure that passthru is not in your disable_functions in your php.ini file (Thanks to Luis ‘SquarePants’ Valecillos for pointing this out).

Grades Are Going Down

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

This is not good and I can feel my manic depression kicking in and it’s not on being overly high, it’s being overly low…since it’s Fall, every ‘ber’ month I get depressed no matter what the situation is. I can feel it and I can see my grades falling down. I’m going to ask my mother who is a Psychiatrist for help there is just no work around with it for me. I can’t control it and I can’t stop it. I just a couple of bad grades ever since September started and it’s not just C+ grades, they’re F – F is FAIL by the way. And here’s the thing that gets me confused wihch is why I need help. Do I need to distance myself from people or to actually interact more with them? I interact with a lot of people and sometimes they take away my attention too much. Bah, I’ll let the medicines take care of that work.
