hacking site

Hi, i know this has been mentioned before but thought you might be interested.

There is a guy who has made http://www.bphacking.com (for boardpower) and is quite keen on making sites like this for a few different boards. You can see his site, it is really good.

Anyway, if a few of the keen hackers contacted him i am sure that he will get a site up and running pretty quickly - he wants someone to buy the domain i think (vBulletin???) but apart from that sounds ready to go, give him an email - find it at his site.

ed and others are already working on a hack site

Cool, may be worth asking him though, he has a whole cgi datbase for storing hacks already made (like ubbhachkers.com or ubbhacking.com can't remember)

So do we, but ours beats the crap out of UBB Hackers and integrates VERY tightly into vB.

(No offense to UHC though. I still technically moderate there)

hehe can't wait too.... off topic i know but worth a shot... by any chance you know the telnet command to reboot a redhat linux/apache server ?

my server needs rebooting :(

I can't wait for the new site! What is it, vBulletin.org? I still think you should go with vBHackers.com - one of the forum members here owns it I believe. It just fits with the theme of the other two sites.

Well ok that's cool. Really looking forward to seeing the site.

eva2000, just type "shutdown -r now" to reboot the server. If you would just like to restart apache then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart" will do it. Both should be typed as root and without the quotes.

thanks customcpu ... looks like my server is beyond a simple reboot fix... apparent has like 390+ zombie processes - what ever that means ?

eva2000,
When a process exits it tells it's parent process it is about to die. When the parent acknowledges this death the child's PID is removed from the process table. A zombie process is a process whose resources have been freed, but whose death has not been acknowledged. Zombies are always cleared after a reboot and do not adversely affect system performance. If you consistently get 400+ zombies something is wrong however. Most likely either a program you are using is buggy and not collecting it's children, you have a buggy driver, or something is misconfigured (Unfortunately that doesn't really narrow anything down for you).

thanks again for the info.. my server went down complete a few minutes again lucky rackspace got it up within 11 mins :D ... the only thing i could think of that was wrong today was during a period of time i had a server load average of 37+, 35+, 39+ which halted my server for a while..
