Unrar multiple directories into current working directory

Grabs all rar files in any current subdirectories and feeds it to unrar. Doesn't work well with things packaged like file.part01.rar. Works best with File.rar. You can recurse into other directories by adding more /*'s

Display any tcp connections to apache

Sometimes apache will get stuck in an established state where you can't get a list of the connecting IP's from mod_status... not a good thing when you need to ban an abusive ip.

Getting started with tcpdump

At some point you want to know what packets are flowing on your network. Use tcpdump for this. The man page is obtuse, to say the least, so here are some simple commands to get you started.

-n means show IP numbers and don't try to translate them to names.

-l means write a line as soon as it is ready.

-i eth0 means trace the packets flowing through the first ethernet interface.

src or dst w.x.y.z traces only packets going to or from IP address w.x.y.z.

port 80 traces only packets for HTTP.

proto udp traces only packets for UDP protocol.

Once you are happy with each option combine them with 'and' 'or' 'not' to get the effects you want.

List just the executable files (or directories) in current directory

Does an 'ls' on just the files and directories in the current directory with an execute bit turned on. This version will list directories. Just tack on "-type f" to the start of the find to omit listing directories and list only files.
