The Perfect Server – Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) [ISPConfig 2]
This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu
9.10) server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters:
Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and
TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier
POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. In the end you should have a system
that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free
webhosting control panel ISPConfig 2 (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).
Make EMC Retrospect Email on Events
Code September 15th, 2009 by Shai Perednik
Are you backed up?
EMC Retrospect 7.6 has a built email notification option. However, its premetive and doesn’t allow for custom messages, alternate ports, or TLS/SSL.
So after much digging and hacking I through together the script below which does the job. This is based on the example vbs script supplied by retrospect, so cudos to them for the initial work.
Download retroeventhandler.vbs
Also, note that you will need to change your settings according in the last part of the script.

HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)
Uncategorized September 10th, 2009 by Shai Perednik
Great post on how to setup proftpd with security.
Only down side is the normal Ubuntu apt repository has proftd 1.3.1 which has a TLS/SSL bug that allows uploading, but doesn’t give a directory listing.
So, my solution was to add the debian sid repo
and then do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install proftpd-dev
This installed proftpd 1.3.2a which as of today is the stable release. TSL/SSL works as expected.
Put the machine to sleep after the download(wget) is done

$ while [ -n "`pgrep wget`" ]; do sleep 2 ;done; [ -e "/tmp/nosleep"] || echo mem >/sys/power/state
[Note: This command needs to be run as root].
If you are downloading something large at night, you can start wget as a normal user and issue the above command as root. When the download is done, the computer will automatically go to sleep. If at any time you feel the computer should not go to sleep automatically(like if you find the download still continuing in the morning), just create an empty file called nosleep in /tmp directory.
