It's supposed to reboot every two days automatically at 3AM. Is this the proper context for that in cron?

0 3 * * 0,2,4,6 reboot

We found the issue.

Oh good.

Currently rebooting the current server it's pointed at as well as my router. Doing a total refresh. Server had been up over 4 days and router over 9. Can't hurt.

WTH...

Yeah, it pings with the right IP but DNS won't resolve it! GRRR!

Ok, FTP or SFTP would not even be a viable solution in this instance. I guessed at what the situation is and was wrong. Let's just drop the whole FTP thing.

SFTP could be used. Nothing there. The issue is that you make broad assumptions, declare them the answer (or not possible) and then don't provide a reason and don't want to discuss it when something is clearly not an option. You state that FTP is the answer when there is almost no chance, in any business, that it could be. Why would you make that leap of logic to declare something that is essentially never an option, the definitive "duh" option?

Then when FTP is clearly wrong you make another leap, for no reason that I can see, that SFTP is ruled out when that is very unlikely since none of the reasons that rule out FTP would rule out SFTP. FTP isn't legally an option here, or most anywhere, ever. But SFTP is only not a good option, but it is certainly an option.

This does not lend itself to growth. You are not looking at the business needs, you are just making assumptions without basis in both directions. You need to think in terms of the business context, not just throw out technology names that you know. It doesn't help you to grow to do this, and it doesn't help the OP find a solution. It just adds noise and confusion.

@scottalanmiller , chill the $%^& out. He didn't state anything about what the issue he was dealing with was. I took a guess, and it was wrong. No big deal. Also, I'm sorry I didn't explicitly state SFTP. I was using FTP as a general term. Of course it would have to be secured. Drop. The. Issue..

I can't get it to come up on my end, but I can pull it up by IP no problem. Just making sure it's not just me...

Thanks!

Only takes one person. A single thread with a few hundred posts in it would be trivial to generate a ton of down votes.

Scott, it downvoted the EXACT number of upvotes I had, plus one to put me in the negative. I don't think so. Besides, no one here cares enough to do that.

Having a weird issue with CloudatCost right now that is preventing me from even issuing a reboot command. All it says is input/output error. Also, both my Linux servers seems to be totally down as far as functionality. I have rebooted both via the Panel, but I can't access my website or Plex. This is driving me nuts! Help is appreciated!

Thanks,
A.J.

Unrelated question but how do you indent all your code lines four spaces manually or how do you do it automatically?

If it is one line, like that one there, I just hit the space bar four times. When it is a large code block, I copy into Notepad++, Ctrl-A, Tab, and copy into here.

I figured you must

I think that most people are like this to some degree.

Glad to know I'm not completely crazy!

That can't be that hard. It's not like you have much to do at any given point...:P

I mean the CentOS image.

Ah ok. Yeah, I'm wondering who was already screwing with it....
