Here are a few useful commands to use during Linux administration of your Splynx server.
To check disk usage on Linux, the following command can be used to install the "NCDU" package:
apt-get install ncdu
ncdu
To create a swap-file, the following commands can be used:
if [[ ! -f /swapfile ]]; then
echo "Building swapfile..."
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=32
mkswap /swapfile
chmod 0600 /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
# Mount on reboot
if [[ -z "$(cat /etc/fstab | grep swapfile)" ]]; then
echo "/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | tee -a /etc/fstab > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
This will create a 2 GB file, if you need more or less, please change bs=64M count=32 - 32 to 16 for 1 GB, 64 for 4 GB.
To configure the time on your server, please use the following commands and process:
It is necessary to first Stop NTP services:
service ntp stop
Thereafter, run the following command to Sync time:
ntpdate -s time.nist.gov
time.nist.gov is a load balancer that will find the best server for any particular location.
The final step is to simply Start NTP services again:
service ntp start
You can configure the time-zone of your server with the following command:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
