Hi Tuxies,

I've been running Mandrake since years, now a 9.2 and with a lot of satisfaction

Recently i launched logdrake , then added a mail alert : it tells me whenever the CPU get over 50% usage.
Works fine. Hey, got up to 10 mail a day.
So i launched logdrake again, and looked for how to modify or stop this mail alert. But so far could not see any way to do so.

Please help

so NObody knows how to do this ?
isn't there any system administrators ?

arf ?:-/

never used it, so i'm not really sure. one thing you might wanna look for, is to go to MCC->system->services & see if there's a running service for "mail alert" & turn it off. if not that, then see if "send mail" or "postfix" are running & try shutting them down.

Hi,

Not sure if this is exactly what you meant but I was confronted with a mail alert every hour,
containing nothing but a timestamp in the msg body. I located the file "logdrake_service" in /etc/cron.hourly
and found out it checked the status of some services en than emailed me the result of it.

Just modify, move or delete the file "logdrake service" if you do not want these msgs.

nandorand > nice tip of yours found the file same place than you said, checked it (single instruction about my CPU getting over 50% usage --> send email) & deleted it.

otish1000c > unfortunatly there's no such service (as it is based on crond as nandorand said)
May i know why u're still running 9.2 since u have MDK-10 ?
I'd like to know since i got 10 Official Pack and having not installed it yet, because i have no time left to rebuild libraries + servers configuration, in case it gets mixed after installing 10.0

glad you got the mail alert turned off.

sure..........

i have a 160 gig hard drive. since i have all that space, i run 2 installs of Mandy. one i use for testing/guinea pig purposes (like cooker apps, new kernels, version upgrades, etc.) & the other install i will leave untouched, in rock solid working condition as a fail safe.

the reason i still have a 9.2 install is just plain laziness/lack of time on my part. i've been meaning to upgrade that to 10.0 so i can start guinea pigging on the other. i should be able to get that done this weekend. i left 9.2 on that partition because when i upgraded to 10.0 i wanted to make sure it was worth using before doing anything to the 9.2 set up. i have long since pronounced 10.0 worthy of an every day OS for my purposes & am pleased as punch with it, so now i guess it's time to start breaking things again.

otis

thank u for that otish1000c

by the way you got me scared like a frech bride when clicking on your red link ":^()
