no space left on /var/lock/subsys while restarting a application Postifix

Found Postifix is giving an error saying no space left on /var/lock/subsys and Postfix stoped running, failing to create files onto /var/.

culprit was no free Inode left on /var ( use command to find Inode Status "tune2fs","df -hi" )

solution is delete /var/lib/amavis/spam* files ( keep in mind what to be deleted )

shell script to mirror data on network using rsync , ssh-key

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ssh keys
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First of all we need to generate ssh key on localhost and copy the key to remote machine. so in future communication happen without supply password to remote machine.

here steps follows to genereate ssh keys :

localhost # ssh-keygen -t dsa

localhost # file ~/.ssh/id_dsa

localhost # file ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

localhost # ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa.pub root@192.168.0.50

locahost # ssh root@192.168.0.50

how to rsync ( man rsync )
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I love rsync to mirror data , just cos of its wast features that it provides.here goes some sample of how to use rsync.note that more than this can be done with rsync.

localhost# rsync -avz /home/file root@192.168.0.50:/home/.

above rsync program copies /home/file to targeted machine .

-a, --archive
-v, --verbose
-z, --compress

localhost# rsync -avz -e ssh /home/file root@192.168.0.50:/home/.

-e, --rsh=COMMAND specify the remote shell to use

localhost# rsync -avz --delete /home/dir/ root@192.168.0.50:/home/dir/.

Note : be careful to use --delete option .this will exactly sync source and target dir and keep exactly copy of source to target deleting rest of modufyied files into that dir.
