mysql::db do failed: MySQL server has gone away at ./inclibdb.pm line 1848

Solved by

set a higher value for wait_timeout and connect_timeout in my.cnf

from the MySQL Documentation

  • wait_timeout : The number of seconds the server waits for activity on a noninteractive connection before closing it.
  • connect_timeout : The number of seconds that the mysqld server waits for a connect packet before responding with Bad handshake

EXAMPLES

  • If wait_timeout is 1800 (30 Minutes), the DB Connection will close in 30 minutes if the connection is idle (indicated by Sleep in the command column of the processlist).
  • If connect_timeout is 10, then mysqld will reject you if you cannot login (authenticate) in 10 seconds.

– verify uninstallation

rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort

– reinstall

yum install kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64

Send mail via sendmail

vi /tmp/email.txt

Insert

Subject: Terminal Email Send
Email Content line 1
Email Content line 2

(ESC)wq(ENTER)

sendmail user@example.com < /tmp/email.txt

Quick and dirty, with subject only:

mail -s "Test Subject" user@example.com < /dev/null

Faking Mails with cutomized sender:

mail -s "Everything possible" -aFrom:bill.gargantur@iliketobeanemailfaker.com recipient@maildomain.com < /dev/null

*Will be delivered into spamfolder or not delivered cause SPF checks that mailsender is not authorized sender of the maildomain –> only if accurate spamsolution/SPF is implemented on recipient side

Install/Config sendmail
for just relay edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and add:

"Smart" relay host (may be null)

DSrelay.example.com

or if ip based:

"Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS[10.10.10.10]

of course relay host must permit this.

If you ever wanted an automation when a process is not running it is just a small script helping to achieve this:

check_process.sh (dont forget to make it executable)

check_process() {
  echo "$ts: checking $1"
  [ "$1" = "" ]  && return 0
  [ `pgrep -f $1` ] && return 1 || return 0 
#pgrep -n if process-name match exactly
}

while [ 1 ]; do
  # timestamp
  ts=`date +%T`
  echo "$ts: begin checking..."
  check_process "myprog.pl"
  [ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "$ts: not running, restarting..." && `/usr/bin/perl /home/me/myprog.pl >/dev/null`
sleep 10

done

You can also send yourself a mail instead of just starting process instead of

/usr/bin/perl /home/me/myprog.pl

do

echo "Subject: Process is stopped" | sendmail yourmail@mail.com

If you want to run this in background do

nohup check_process.sh &

or you can put this on startup via cronjob

crontab -e


@reboot root /home/me/check_process.sh

Informix never forget 😉

Creation/Manipulation of tables:

CREATE TABLE tabelle (nummer int, text char(10), time datetime, date date);
DROP table tabelle;
ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY (name char(100));
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name column-definition;

can be positioned with AFTER/BEFORE

Unloading tables:

unload to '/home/content.csv'
delimiter ';'
SELECT * FROM content

Transactional Stuff:

BEGIN WORK;
ROLLBACK WORK;

Query Time:

SELECT |ALL|DISTINCT|UNIQUE|FIRST 
FROM table (WHERE)
GROUP BY columnname
HAVING COUNT(**)>1
ORDER BY columnname (ASC|DESC), ....
INTO TEMP tablename

WHERE-Clause:

bla (NOT) BETWEEN bla AND 
bla (NOT) IN (List, of, bla)
bla (NOT) LIKE "bla"
bla (NOT) EXISTS 
bla IS (NOT) NULL

to combine multiple selects

UNION

TO_CHAR transformation for query:

SELECT nr FROM numbers WHERE nr MATCHES "38*"
Error 219: Wildcard matching may not be used with non-character types.

SELECT nr FROM numbers WHERE TO_CHAR(nr) MATCHES "38*"
