I want to create a scheduled job in SQLyog (or suggest me if any) that will run a SQL query every 30 minutes.
I want to run the query -
UPDATE `db`.`table` SET sessiontime = CEILING(sessiontime/6)*6 WHERE id>1000
Please help me to figure out this.
Thanks
First, SQLyog is a windows tool for managing MySQL databases. Windows usually don't have a cron, instead it has the Windows Task Scheduler.
SQLyog has something build in which is called the Job Agent, which allows you to execute queries and generate, format and send personalized mails with results. These jobs are saved as XML files, which can be executed with SQLyog. This is used to use the Windows Task Scheduler for performing regular querying (as a matter of fact, you can either put them there if you want to or use SQLyog to do this for you).
Basically, use the wizard to put in all the data required (database connection, smtp options, query), test it, then use the Job Agent to put this into the Windows Task Scheduler.
Keep in mind, the feature Job Agent is available in SQLyog Enterprise and Ultimate only. The free edition doesn't have it unlocked.

I'm trying to find a tool where you can easily monitor cronjobs for the company I work at. Rundeck seems like the perfect tool for this but I can't figure out if it's possible to integrate the existing cronjobs into Rundeck. It's too much work to do this manually because there are hundreds of them.
If you now another tool that can do this feel free to recommend!
I'd rather want it to be open source but if it's paid and it works correct I'm open to it.
Rundeck works as a "very enhanced cron replacement" maybe the best approach in your case is to migrate your cron jobs to Rundeck and use the notification for monitoring. This looks like a good starting point for you, don´t forget to visit the official documentation.
What Mega mentions is correct, rundeck can be used as a replacement for cron.
Even better, there is no need to configure all of those manually: Rundeck allows you to import job definitions via API call.
Steps:
Get rundeck installed
Set up a job to run one of your cron jobs manually
Export that job
Use a script to make many copies of that file, that each contain a different item from cron*
Import all those files via API call
*You'll need to change at least the name and workflow (called sequence commands file - you'll be able to see based on the workflow step you configured)
We are using a dedicated Amazon Ubuntu ec2 instance as Cron server, which executed 16 cron jobs at different time intervals i.e, 10 cron jobs in morning 4:15 - 7:15 and the rest # 23:00 - 23:50. I get the results via email. I want to configure something, which shoots email message at the end of they day listing the cron jobs that are executed successfully and the one that failed.
I have a jenkins configured ubuntu instance for auto-building Dev, Beta, Staging & Live environments. Can i add these cron jobs(shell scripts) as external jobs in the jenkins and monitor them. Is it possible?
Definitely possible! You can monitor external cron jobs as described here:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring+external+jobs
You can also add cron job (-like behavior) to Jenkins by creating a freestyle software project and add "Execute shell" as build process.
It's a bit more convenient since you can also trigger the execution via Jenkins ("Build now").
You might be able to combine the Jenkins monitor external job project type with a matrix project. At the very least the former will enable you to monitor the cron jobs individually.
Alternatively you could have the last monitored cron job of the day trigger building a project that checks the status of all the cron jobs (for example by retrieving and comparing the build numbers of the last and the last successful builds) and sends an email accordingly. The email plugin might be useful for the latter.
Check the CPAN or do some web digging for shell or perl script for managing cron jobs and extend its behaviour to do some reporting which you can render using HTML. Alternatively write a servlet and a some function calls to do just that.
This becomes your own standalone monitor application, which can sit in jenkins or deployed independently. If you choose to add it to jenkins, then add the reporting HTML file and its scripts to the container holding deployed web files for jenkins, word of advice place your files and script in a separate container.
Add a hyperlink to jenkins index html which will load your reporter. Now reboot tomcat and go from there.
Another option could be to take a look at Cronitor (https://cronitor.io). It basically boils down to being a tracking beacon that uses http requests to ping when a cron job/scheduled task starts and ends.
You'll be notified if your job doesn't run on schedule, or if it runs for too long/too short, etc. You can also configure it to send alerts to you via email, sms, but also Slack, Hipchat, Pagerduty and others.
I am looking for a front end for our operator to run our Talend jobs. We do not want him to have the ability to delete or modify jobs. Only to run them and monitor their results. Any suggestions for tools for doing this?
Thanks
The subscription version of Talend (called Talend Integration Suite, or TIS) has precisely that. It's a web-based console called Talend Administration Center (TAC) and it allows an operator to run jobs and monitor their results -- among many other things. The permissions can be set in the way you described, so that the operator is not able to delete or modify the jobs.
In my company we use SOS Job Scheduler, which you can use with TOS out-of-the-box as a general diy scheduling solution. Just these days I'm working on a Talend Custom Component to integrate deeply between the first and the latter (like log-propagation, context parameter sharing and so on. Basically it let you use SOS API from a TOS job). I can speed-up and put on github in a few days, if you need :)
You can export job as shall script (.sh) and anyone can execute that and will not able to delete those jobs.
To see the execution details put some tlog component into your talend jobs.
This is just a work around not the solution if you only have open studio (free version).
I'm using Rundeck for manual and scheduled execution of Talend jobs . I find the job setup and scheduling to be far easier in Rundeck than in SpagoBI (which I frequently use for reports and BI).
You could also use something like automic (uc4) automation engine. It has fine grained security and is a commercial product . I've used it in the past for similar work.
How can we use Solution Package (WSP) MOSS 2007 to synchronize lists from one server to another?
Have a look at this tool: Content Migration Wizard
It allows you to copy lists from farm to farm using the Migration API. You can also script it to run automatically.
Copying data / schema from one server to another is not supported and requires custom code.
Is it really necessary that the items 'exist' on both servers? It sounds error prone to me. Maybe it's possible to simply 'aggregate' the items on one server by using a webservice or an RSS feed.
If copying is required then I would create a SharePoint job that runs every x minutes/hours to do the syncronization. Let the custom job communicate with the web services on the other server.
Note : Since your job only runs every x minutes it means that your syncronization is not realtime!
Be carefull with large workloads. Make sure you don't stress your server by trying to synchronize 10.000 every minute.
I'd like to invoke a timer job installed on a SharePoint server manually. What would be useful is something along the lines of an stsadm command.
My scenario is, I've deployed a solution with a bunch of features to a customers server. I don't want to wait for the weekly schedule to kick a particular timer job to life. I would like to just punch in a command to get the specific job to run immediately. Obviously in the development enviroment I've got the schedule set for a few minutes but I want to do a test run while I'm on site with the customer.
You can develop a custom command line based tool that gets the job's SPJobDefiniton based on the criteria that identifies your job from the service.JobDefinitions collection. From there you can execute it using the Execute() method.
