Setting Up A Static IP Address on UNIX system


Setting Up A Static IP Address Using The Command Line

Log on as root, change directory to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and list all available devices.
# cd /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
# ls
Find the configuration file corresponding to the NIC for which you want to set a static IP and edit it.
# vi ifcfg-eth0
I prefer using “joe” as a text editor rather than “vi”. You can install “joe” by issuing “yum install joe”. To invoke joe’s help menu, type “CTRL+K, H” from within the application.
Now set the parameters below according to your settings (those in bold characters only):
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:0C:29:DE:94:8B
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.
To set the nameservers, change directory to /etc and edit resolv.conf.
# cd /etc
# vi resolv.conf
The file format should be like this:
search your-dns-search-path
nameserver dns1-ip-address
nameserver dns2-ip-address
nameserver dns3-ip-address
Now save the configuration file and exit the text editor. To apply changes, we need to bring the network interface down and back up.
# ifdown eth0
# ifup eth0
If you intend to do that remotely, reboot the server instead as you would be disconnected from your server after issuing the “ifdown” command.

Background Process in ORACLE Database

Background Process in ORACLE Database Database Writer Process (DBWn) Log Writer Process (LGWR) Checkpoint Process (CKPT) System Monitor Process (SMON) Process Monitor Process (PMON) Recoverer Process (RECO) Job Queue Processes Archiver Processes (ARCn) Queue Monitor Processes (QMNn) Database Writer Process (DBWn) The database writer process (DBWn) writes the contents of buffers to datafiles. The DBWn processes are responsible for writing modified (dirty) buffers in the database buffer cache to disk. Although one database writer process (DBW0) is adequate for most systems, you can configure additional processes (DBW1 through DBW9 and DBWa through DBWj) to improve write performance if your system modifies data heavily. These additional DBWn processes are not useful on uniprocessor systems. When a buffer in the database buffer cache is modified, it is marked dirty. A cold buffer is a buffer that has not been recently used according to the least recently used (LRU) algorith...

Using GREP in UNIX

How To Use grep Command In Linux / UNIX by  VIVEK GITE  on  AUGUST 2, 2007  ·  147 COMMENTS H ow do I use grep command in Linux? grep command searches the given file for lines containing a match to the given strings or words. By default, grep prints the matching lines. Use grep to search for lines of text that match one or many regular expressions, and outputs only the matching lines. The name, "grep", derives from the command used to perform a similar operation, using the Unix/Linux text editor ed: g/re/p grep command syntax grep 'word' filename grep 'string1 string2' filename cat otherfile | grep 'something' command | grep 'something' Use grep to search file Search /etc/passwd for boo user: $ grep boo /etc/passwd You can force grep to ignore word case i.e match boo, Boo, BOO and all other combination with -i option: $ grep -i "boo" /etc/passwd Use grep recursively You can search recursively i.e. read all files under each ...

Searching BOOLEAN on the INTERNET

A Primer in Boolean Logic The Internet is a vast computer database. As such, its contents must be searched according to the rules of computer database searching. Much database searching is based on the principles of Boolean logic. Boolean logic refers to the logical relationship among search terms, and is named for the British-born Irish mathematician George Boole. On Internet search engines, the options for constructing logical relationships among search terms often modify the traditional practice of Boolean searching. This will be covered in the section below, Boolean Searching on the Internet. Boolean logic consists of three logical operators: OR AND NOT Each operator can be visually described by using Venn diagrams, as shown below. OR logic college OR university Question: I would like information about college. In this search, we will retrieve records in which AT LEAST ONE of the search terms is present. We are searching on the term...
