Setting Clock

The clock can be set manually and using NTP service.

1. Manually:

[root@server /root]# date 012621362007
Fri Jan 26 21:36:26 PST 2007
[root@server /root]# hwclock --utc --systohc
[root@server /root]#

2. Using NTP service:

Add the time server to /etc/ntp.conf and to /etc/ntp/step-tickers:

/etc/ntp.conf:

server 192.168.0.1
server 192.168.0.2

/etc/ntp/step-tickers
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2

Then make sure that ntp will start at boot time:
chkconfig --level 2345 ntpd on
chkconfig --list ntpd

And start the service:
service ntpd start

If you wanted to send emails to users but did not want to receive any replies to the email, you would need to setup a no-reply@domain.com email account. These kind of email ids are useful when sending emails containing forgotten passwords or activation code. Below are the steps for creating such account in Postfix. 1. Identify the file containing alias for Postfix First, make sure the following line in the ALIAS DATABASE section of the /etc/postfix/main.cf is NOT commented out: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases 2. Create an alias that redirects messages to /dev/null Edit /etc/aliases and add following entry devnull: /dev/null 3.

jupyter notebook execution error: "http://localhost:8889/tree?token=xxx" doesn’t understand the “open location” message

I got this error when I tried to launch jupyter notebook on a mac. It is not a fatal error. I could still go to browser directly and copy/paste the url manually. The error indicates that when the command automatically tried to launch a browser, it couldn't find the default browser in jupyter configuration file. The easy fix is to specify the browser. Here are the steps to do so; 1.   Open ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py in an editor.       If the file does not exist then you can create a default config file by typing the following command;       jupyter notebook --generate-config 2. Search for a word "browser" to locate a following line.     #c.NotebookApp.browser = ''     By default it is commented. You can uncomment it and use one of the following values depending on your browser preference.     # set default browser to chrome     c.NotebookApp.browser = 'chrome'     ...
