Got an HP server to play with, a Proliant ML 150 G6 (what’s the deal with HP’s wacko URLs?); not too expensive, and is big with really loud fans. When setting up IPMI the man advises you to “use Telnet to log in to the remote management CLP” – I haven’t used telnet in sometime, I had to try. telnet 192.168.0.46 Trying 192.168.0.46… Connected to 192.168.0.46.

Have a wtmp file you need read? A nice perl one liner to do so: perl -we ‘@type=("Empty","Run Lvl","Boot","New Time","Old Time","Init","Login","Normal","Term","Account");$recs = ""; while (<>) {$recs .= $_};foreach (split(/(.{384})/s,$recs)) {next if length($_) == 0;my ($type,$pid,$line,$inittab,$user,$host,$t1,$t2,$t3,$t4,$t5) = $_ =~/(.{4})(.{4})(.{32})(.{4})(.{32})(.{256})(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})/s;if (defined $line && $line =~ /\w/) {$line =~ s/\x00+//g;$host =~ s/\x00+//g;$user =~ s/\x00+//g;printf("%s %-8s %-12s %10s %-45s\n",scalar(gmtime(unpack("I4",$t3))),$type[unpack("I4",$type)],$user,$line,$host)}}print"\n"’ < /var/log/wtmp Thanks to: http://www.hcidata.info/wtmp.htm
A monumental work… what a great line as well. From the immortal Goya. Always stay vigilant…. (Image from the truly marvelous Met Museum of Art web pages, they have wonderful hi-def scans of so much… thanks!!! What a tremendous way to bring art to the people – this bit isn’t even being physically shown right now, but I can get a real idea of what it’s about by […]
