tobiasBora 2017-03-07 07:54:43
Delf: Well I don't want that at then end only three servers works, while the others have finished since 40mn
tobiasBora 2017-03-07 07:55:36
Delf: so yes, I want that the command is send to a server A only if A does not already work
tobiasBora 2017-03-07 07:56:06
it's like very basic parallel computation
greycat 2017-03-07 07:56:14
And task-spooler can't handle that?
Delf 2017-03-07 07:56:22
tobiasBora: I understand what you want but I don't know how to do it :(
greycat 2017-03-07 07:56:55
If there are no pre-made tools that do this, you may end up writing your own.
greycat 2017-03-07 07:57:11
You can look for REALLY BASIC hints on http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement
tobiasBora 2017-03-07 07:57:38
greycat: Well I think I will need to do that yes ^^ But I'm afraid that for tonight it's a bit late.
tobiasBora 2017-03-07 07:58:50
but hopefully all my tasks are nearly finished so it will be ok
Delf 2017-03-07 08:00:04
Running a multi-seat setup and trying to prevent same user from logging into two seats simultaneously. I don't want to deny them ssh of course… otherwise /etc/security/limits.conf would do the trick.
Delf 2017-03-07 08:01:00
would have done the trick. But it denies ssh too so I can't use that

Hi! I'm trying to update a vnc box from debian squeeze to wheezy or something more modern
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:07:39
i've changed the repositories out. The update throws a few errors. It still thinks it's squeeze, though I've already run dist-upgrade
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:08:19
i'm scared to restart it or any such thing at this point heh
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:09:25
also update/upgrade and whatnot
mtn 2017-03-07 08:09:25
Ferris-: did you follow the release notes to upgrade?
mtn 2017-03-07 08:09:25
!squeeze->wheezy
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:10:40
I'll try!
mtn 2017-03-07 08:10:42
Ferris-: https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/releasenotes
mtn 2017-03-07 08:11:00
Ferris-: same applies if you keep going to newer releases
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:16:48
mtn: It wants me to assure that all packages are not marked for removal
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:16:55
i'm not sure how that works
Ferris- 2017-03-07 08:17:15
i mean aptitude -v wasn't hard to guess, but now i have somewhat of a ui
