You may be having lakhs of files on a folder which is taking chunk out of you from your server.
Its hard to list all the files even on a GUI file manger on KDE or on GNOME.
Without worries, this can done with a simple command.
find /home/username/foldername -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
with the above command, we can delete the files older then 10 days on the location /home/username/foldername change the path that points your local OS files or folder location
which will help to take your headache.
# /var/spool/clientmqueue # rm -Rf SAS*
#/bin/rm: Argument list too long.
Ever seen this error in Linux when you have too many files in a directory and you are unable to delete them with a simple rm -rf *? I have run into this problem a number of times. After doing a bit of research online I came across a neat solution to work around this issue.
find . -name ‘SAS*’ | xargs rm
In the above instance the command will forcefully delete all files in the current directory that begin with SAS. You can replace the SAS-* with anything you like. You can also replace it with just a * if you want to remove all files in the folder.
find . -name ‘*’ | xargs rm
Thanks who ever wrote this.
When you get the issue of /var is full,
normally it happens because the following using the more space
1. Bandwidth files of the domains hosted.
2. Logs files of the server, which includes cpanel, mail, mysql & all other services running the Server
3. Due to Mysql Usage.
Here we are going to resolve the issue which caused due tot he bandwidth files.
Generally the Location will be /var/cpanel/bandwidth
This files are not not log files, which cannot rotated and even if you rotate it will not help you in reducing the files size.
Instead of deleting the directory, move the files to a location where you have more storage, then sym link to the old location
Use the Below Commands :
# mv /var/cpanel/bandwidth /home/bandwidth
# ln -s /home/bandwidth /var/cpanel/bandwidth
To viewing & finding contents from the logs on Linux centos cpanel
Use the below commands view or find the email or domains transaction logs.
/var/log/exim_mainlog
/var/log/maillog
# grep domainname /var/log/exim_mainlog for finding logs of a particular domain
and
# grep emailaddress /var/log/exim_mainlog for finding logs of a particular email address.
To restart the Linux servers, Apache TOMCAT installed with cpanel
/scripts/restartsrv tomcat
If you have 1000s of accounts on cpanel, you would probably get the error message
The /usr partition on this server is running out of disk space. WHM operation has been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition.
Here, you will left alone to find what files are taking too much space on the /usr partition
Normally,
/usr/local/cpanel
/usr/local/apache
If you have ASSP or some kind of Antispam Engine installed it would take logs of space for storing the messages & logs
for ASSP
/usr/local/assp
First, Login to ssh
use the below command
du -h --max-depth=1 /usr/
If you find any specific folder taking more space, you do denote the specific folder by
du -h --max-depth=1 /usr/localhere you can increase depth to 2, 3 & etc.. to see the space used in depth.
To sort the foldersize in ascending order user
du -h --max-depth=1 /usr/ | sort -n -r
Once you have found, You can remove the logs of cpanel, apache, assp & etc…
Make sure that you have Network Card is physically installed on the PC/Server.
And enable the Network card. by command >> service network start
Now, use any editor, here i use nano for editing the configuration of the networking IP Addres
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>
From here you can edit/remove/add any Ipaddres.
If your users are create databases in different like what ever the name they want, we cannot able to identify the user who is abusing the server.
Only by the username of the account, we can easily identify the abuser.
If this featured is disabled, We can enable the same.
Just follow the steps.
You can disabled this by changing in
/var/cpanel/cpanel.config
database_prefix=0
to
database_prefix=1
and restarting cpsrvd.
/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcpsrvd
/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startcpsrvd
How to find the no of files on a particular folder
ls -l | wc -l
Say If you want to find a specific files nos, You can use the below command.
for eg. you want to find .gz files
ls *.gz -l | wc -l
Login to the SSH with the root password.
Change to directory >> CGI
cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi
wget -N http://www.netenberg.com/files/free/fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
tar -xzpf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
rm -rf fantastico_whm_admin.tgz
Login to WHM, and follow the link WHM -> Add-Ons -> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin.
