Macports¶

Use BASH shell¶

Install Macports BASH and add /opt/local/bin/bash to list of approved shells.

sudo port install bash
sudo pico /etc/shells
chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash

Setup .bash_profile

pico ~/.bash_profile

Add this

. /var/vnix/config/server.inc.sh

Logout and login. Check with set command.

Install essentials under /usr/local/vnix/setup¶

Swap Files¶

View swap files¶

sudo ls -la /var/vm

Check swap files¶

sudo fs_usage | grep swapfile

Flush DNS Resolver Cache¶

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

If this doesn’t work, change the DNS server under Network and keep in mind the propagation on the internet for new domain names takes some time.

Install syslog-ng (not used)¶

Install with Macports

sudo port install syslog-ng

Notes

syslog-ng has the following notes:
    To use syslog-ng, first unload OS X's built-in syslog daemon:

        sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist

    Then copy /opt/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf-dist to /opt/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf,
    customize, and load syslog-ng:

        sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.syslog-ng.plist

    A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting syslog-ng with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause
    it to launch at startup:

        sudo port load syslog-ng

Configuration File

sudo pico /opt/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf

Setup logrotate¶

Append to newsyslog.conf
~~~bash
sudo pico /etc/newsyslog.conf

Add this

/var/vnix/logs/*.log      vnyx:wheel      644  7           1000 *     GJ
