Generate coredumps automatically in specified directory

If you are into investigating coredumps, or you are just curious about how many processes have coredumped, then this is for you:

1. add the following line to /etc/security/limits.conf
* - core unlimited
2. add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.core_pattern = /corefiles/core.%e.%p
%e is the executable filename, %p is pid.
Please check the "Naming of core dump files" section of man 5 core for more information on this.

3. run "sysctl -p", then logout and login. Or just reboot.

This is what I have on my Yeeloong:
$ ls /corefiles/

Just for your info:

I see those nscd cores on x86_64 as well, so it's not MIPS related.

Yes, it is not MIPS specific.

Send $SGB (Songbird) to another wallet using a script

You need nodejs and web3 to run it:  const Web3 = require('web3'); // Variables definition const privKey = '8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx2'; // Genesis private key const addressFrom = '0xAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'; const addressTo = '0xBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB'; const web3 = new Web3('https://songbird.towolabs.com/rpc'); // Create transaction const deploy = async () => { console.log( `Attempting to make transaction from ${addressFrom} to ${addressTo}` ); const createTransaction = await web3.eth.accounts.signTransaction( { from: addressFrom, to: addressTo, value: web3.utils.toWei('1', 'ether'), // Send 1 SGB. 'ether' is not a typo here. gasPrice: web3.utils.toWei('225', 'Gwei'), gas: '21000', }, privKey ); // Deploy transaction const createR

Rippled thread cpu usage

Image
The cpu usage of xrp.ninja validator spikes every 2 hours. I always wonder what it is doing during the spikes. So I wrote a script to report the thead cpu usage to a statsd server.  I started statsd/graphite/grafana using  https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon Then I wrote this script: #!/usr/bin/python3 import collections import itertools import os import re import statsd import subprocess import time HEADER = b'%CPU COMMAND' STATSD = 'XXX' PORT = 'YYY' PREFIX = 'rippled.threads' TOP = 'env HOME={0} top -b -n 1 -p $(pgrep rippled) -H'.format(os.getcwd()) def report(c, jobs): p = subprocess.run(TOP, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) if p.returncode != 0: print(p.stderr) return m = collections.defaultdict(float) for line in itertools.dropwhile(lambda x: x != HEADER, p.stdout.splitlines()): if line == HEADER: continue usage, comm = line.decode().str
