the command is obvious, I know, but maybe not everyone knows that using the parameter "-l" you can limit the use of bandwidth command scp.
In this example fetch all files from the directory zutaniddu and I copy them locally using only 10 Kbs
edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file and try to work whit this:
-A INPUT -i (interface) -m mac (mac address) -j ACCEPT/DROP
Instead, install apt-get install secure-delete and you can use:
-- srm to delete file and directory on hard disk
-- smem to delete file in RAM
-- sfill to delete "free space" on hard disk
-- sswap to delete all data from swap
Check the ssh_config file and set the variable:
StrictHostKeyChecking no
A dear friend of mine asked me how do I copy a DVD to your hard drive? If you want to make a copy of the ISO image that was burned to a CD or DVD, insert that medium into your CD/DVD drive and (assuming /dev/cdrom is associated with your computer?s CD drive) type the following command
This command clone the first partition of the primary master IDE drive to the second partition
of the primary slave IDE drive (!!! back up all data before trying anything like this !!!)
When you need to add another tty device that can automatically start at boot time
If you need to keep an eye on a command whose output is changing, use the watch command. For example, to keep an eye on your load average
If you launch gnome-terminal manually, you can start with three open tabs
For example: check the APT security keys to make sure the Google digital signature was imported correctly
You can view the man pages from section five by passing the section number as an argument to the man command
