Finding files readable for everybody

These two commands both search for files that are readable for everybody (-perm -444 or -perm -a+r), have at least write bit set (-perm /222 or -perm /a+w) but are not executable for anybody (! -perm /111 and ! -perm /a+x respectively)

Exim Message-IDs and spool files

The message-IDs that Exim uses to refer to messages in its queue are mixed-case alpha-numeric.

Files in /var/spool/exim/msglog contain logging information for each message and are named the same as the message-id.

Files in /var/spool/exim/input are named after the message-id, plus a suffix denoting whether it is the envelope header (-H) or message data (-D).

Exim Basic information

Print a count of the messages in the queue:

Print a listing of the messages in the queue (time queued, size, message-id, sender, recipient):

Print a summary of messages in the queue (count, volume, oldest, newest, domain, and totals):

Rebuilding RRD Data Files

The utility can regenerate the data for a specific user or all users. This utility accepts the following parameters:

–all - Process all users on the system.

–dir={path} - Used to specify the location of the RRD summary files and where to create the new RRD files. If not specified, uses /var/cpanel/bandwidth.

–gid={#} - The number specified with this parameter is used to set the GID on any created files. If not specified, the program uses the GID of the existing data files.

prefix - The user or domain to process.
