This guide explains about error handling in Ansible Playbooks and how to handle different errors when running playbooks in Ansible.

Over the years I have had a number of paid email services whose inconveniences only increase over time, I then left them and tried another despite the inconvenience of loosing the emails.
My last one (mailbox.org) advertises a fair bit about its "honesty" not available from its competitors, so they claim.
I followed their procedure to download all my emails wasting a fair bit of time in the process, only to find that such "download" only creates the "download" on THEIR system (does absolutely nothing?) and, as far as I could tell, only viewable from their system (displays the original emails?).

I have a number of (paid) "Linodes" hosted by Linode.com (technically faultless - I am impressed), now a Swiss company and I am contemplating running my own personal email service (like Evolution available in Debian) on one of those "Linodes" (based in Singapore) but I am completely ignorant in that field.

I suspect, like many things Linux, it is probably just a matter of installing and running the software in a "default" config so my question is more about anyone able to suggest tutorials for users like myself wanting to avoid, if possible, to get deeply involved in the subject - it is only my personal emails although some are inevitably business-related.

Any hint also welcome.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Community,

I'm trying to create an email notification and add three separate lines in the email body. There are three log files and I just need to add the start date/time, the End date/time, and the number of messages. This is what it looks like when I use echo from the terminal:
Quote: Start Date/Time: 03/11/2023 04:10:01 End Date/Time: 03/11/2023 09:55:51 Messages Count: 1653058
Start Date/Time: 03/11/2023 09:55:51 End Date/Time: 03/11/2023 12:32:07 Messages Count: 368986
Start Date/Time: 03/11/2023 12:32:07 End Date/Time: 03/11/2023 16:47:39 Messages Count: 1078502 However, when I send it via email all three rows display in one row. How can I receive these details in three separate rows or have it like a table, such as:

Code: Type  Start Date/Time      End Date/Time        Count
One    03/11/2023 04:10:01  03/11/2023 09:55:51  1653058
Two    03/11/2023 09:55:51  03/11/2023 12:32:07  368986
Three  03/11/2023 09:55:51  03/11/2023 16:47:39  1078502 Here is my script

PHP Code: #!/bin/bash
EMAILS='myemail@email.com'
sDatemsgOne=$( head -1 testTest/messageone-* | cut -c 1-20 )
eDatemsgOne=$( tail -1 testTest/messageone-* | cut -c 1-20 )
msgOneCount=$( tail -1 testTest/messageone-* | cut -c 84-91 )
echo "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgOne  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgOne "Messages Count:" $msgOneCount

sDatemsgTwo=$( head -1 testTest/messagetwo-* | cut -c 1-20 )
eDatemsgTtwo=$( tail -1 testTest/messagetwo-* | cut -c 1-20 )
msgTwoCount=$( tail -1 testTest/messagetwo-* | cut -c 84-90 )
echo "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgTwo  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgTtwo "Messages Count:" $msgTwoCount

sDatemsgThree=$( head -1 testTest/messagethree-* | cut -c 1-20 )
eDatemsgThree=$( tail -1 testTest/messagethree-* | cut -c 1-20 )
msgThreeCount=$( tail -1 testTest/messagethree-* | cut -c 84-91 )
echo "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgThree  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgThree "Messages Count:" $msgThreeCount

echo "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgOne  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgOne "Messages Count:" $msgOneCount "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgTwo  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgTtwo "Messages Count:" $msgTwoCount "Start Date/Time:" $sDatemsgThree  "End Date/Time:" $eDatemsgThree "Messages Count:" $msgThreeCount | mail -s "File Export Details" $EMAILS 
I added * at end of the log file name because it'll have a date and time, and time can be changed all the time.
Thank you for your help!

I invite everyone to try PorteuX, this new Linux distro inspired by Slax and Porteus, with the main goal of being super fast, small, portable, modular and immutable (if the user wants so).

My goal is to take a large number of files from directory A into directory B, not always on the same server, using rsync and set a specific name at destination that is numbered.

Code: #!/bin/bash

for i in *
do
        i=1
        rsync -aviS --progress *.avi /mnt/Exports/Backup/TEST/test.S01E0${i}
        i=i+1
done The extension is not important, its just what im testing with atm.

the output that the above is generating is not what i desire:

1. it creates a new subdirectory under /mnt/Exports/Backup/TEST/ called test.S01E01
2. after creating the directory, that it should not be creating according to the rsync command, it is than moving the files from A to B/test.S01E01/, nothing is renamed in the process.

When I manually do this with:

Code: rsync -aviS --progress foo\ \bad\ chars.avi /path/to/new/foo.no.bads.avi it does exactly that into directory B as desired. This is time consuming and something that should be automated. I am horrid at coding, but thought a simple for loop should do the trick, my for loop is bad and wrong.

Looking for better guidance than RTFM or google as I've already spent far to much time RTFM and as not a programmer, not fully following examples, and my google foo fails as I dont know what to ask to get the correct output.

Thank you in advance for guidance, education, and direction.

1: Debian Stable,
2: Just did a fresh install,
3: Second monitor does not work,
3a: the monitors are about 10 years old,
4: in desperation, I inserted a Knoppix Rescue Disk,
5: with Knoppix, I have two monitors again!
===
So... what's up with that?
I crawled under my desk and checked {unplugged and replugged} in EVERYTHING.
Apparently my second monitor isn't broken, but what's up with that?

PS: flatscreen LCD monitors "acer" models

Any suggestions?

Thank you for reading my posting, and have a great day!!

Hello everyone,


I'm a new user to Ubuntu and I'm using a Windows dual boot. After logging out of Ubuntu, I'm unable to progress past this screen: (I can't attach files so I've uploaded to imgur instead.)

https://i.imgur.com/tMzqbHc.jpg

This happens with all kernels. In my last session, I did a sudo apt-get and sudo apt install in my last session. I also installed FUSE using 'sudo apt-get install fuse' in the process of installing Obsidian, using online instructions.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm starting a development bootcamp in a few days and starting to worry that I'll have to go through the process of setting up Ubuntu again.


Thank you!
