This will allow you to mount a CD-ROM on Solaris SPARC 9 or lower. This will not work on Solaris 10 due to void and the volume management daemons.

This will issue a shutdown command to the Windows machine. username must be an administrator on the Windows machine. Requires samba-common package installed. Other relevant commands are:

net rpc shutdown -r : reboot the Windows machine

net rpc abortshutdown : abort shutdown of the Windows machine

Type:

net rpc

To sort hidden files first, simply switch the two inner `ls` commands.

I have this aliased to `dira`

`dir` is aliased to the simpler version with no hidden files:

unzips all zip files in any subdirectory under the current directory. The zip files are unzipped in their respective subdirs

Really only valuable in a PHP-only project directory. This is using standard linux versions of the tools. On most older BSD variants of sed, use -E instead of -r. Or use: sed 's/\+[[:space:]]\{1,\}//' instead.

The -d flag sets the lifetime of a metric and defaults to 0 hence why old metrics continue to be graphed in the dashboard. Submitting a dummy value and short lifetime ensures that the metric is removed from the dashboard.

init states on solaris are numbered

init 0 boot with prompt

init 5 shutdown

init 6 reboot

This appends a random number as a first filed of all lines in SOMEFILE then sorts by the first column and finally cuts of the random numbers.

Sometimes jittery data hides trends, performing a rolling average can give a clearer view.

If you want to generate a cross-platform compatible zip file and ignore the Finder's hidden metadata directory

Note that this assumes the application is an SVN checkout and so we have to throw away all the .svn files before making the substitution.

Create a temporary file that acts as swap space. In this example it's a 1GB file at the root of the file system. This additional capacity is added to the existing swap space.

There's been a few times I've needed to create random numbers. Although I've done so in PERL, I've found Ruby is actually faster. This script generates 20 random "10" digit number NOT A RANDOM NUMBER. Replace 20 (1..20) with the amount of random numbers you need generated
