WE are running plesk on Centos 7 and need to check this config file every 5 minutes to make sure that line x is commented out as plesk keeps un commenting it.
We would run this under cron every 5 minutes...



the file path is
/etc/proftpd.d/50-plesk.conf



the line we wish to make sure is always commented is...

    You should find out why plesk keeps adding the line and fix that.

    If you discover the line uncommented, would you also have to restart any services that might now be running “incorrectly”?

Instead of a cron job, as a short time measure, tell the OS to write protect that file.



Do:



sudo chattr +i /etc/proftpd.d/50-plesk.conf


Obviously, as the comments rightfully tell you, the duty of Plesk Support would be to tell you how to solve that, or give you a software fix.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
