Check Chrony logs on.Linux

Chrony service maintains synchronizing with external time sources like NTP servers.
In Redhat, Rocky or Alma Linux, Chrony logs can be checked using journalctl.

Example:
sudo journalctl -u chronyd -xe

The output will be limited only to the.log or entries of Chronyd service.
To check status of Chronyd, use systemctl status chronyd
To further check any log entries pertaining to chronyd, browse to /var/log

cd /var/log
And type: egrep "*chrony*" .

This will check all log entries that has the string chrony, include the dot at the end to check all files on the current path.

You can examine those files.if need to troubleshoot further, or just view the configuration of Chrony for any misconfiguration such as typo error, or unsupported Chrony settings.
To view the chrony configuration,.type:

grep ^[^#] /etc/chrony.conf

This will view only the configuration that are currently enabled or uncommented lines, and also remove any blank lines.

chronyc sources -v 

The above command will show whether Chrony is sync or connected to any NTP or PTP server
If the output shows with * followed by the IP or URL then Chrony is synced to a time source.

chronyc tracking 
Leap status should display Normal if everything is normal as per output of the command.

timedatectl status
The command will check if NTP is active and synchronized 

chronyc activity >> will.also show whether chronyc has some issues or working properly 






Lift up life turmoils by your prayers, and remember the words "do not be afraid". Just keep going.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username.

If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
