Check These Out
I wanted to create a copy of my whole laptop disk on an lvm disk of the same size.
First I created the logical volume: lvcreate -L120G -nlaptop mylvms
SOURCE: dd if=/dev/sda bs=16065b | netcat ip-target 1234
TARGET: nc -l -p 1234 | dd of=/dev/mapper/mylvms-laptop bs=16065b
to follow its process you issue the following command in a different terminal
STATS: on target in a different terminal: watch -n60 -- kill -USR1 $(pgrep dd)

After downloading an ISO image, assuming you have QEMU installed, it’s possible to boot an ISO image in a virtual machine and then install that ISO from within the virtual machine directly to a physical drive, bypassing the need to reboot. Simply pass the ISO image as the -cdrom parameter, followed by “format=raw,file=/dev/sdb” (replace /dev/sdb with the drive you want to install to) as the hard drive parameter (making absolutely certain to specify the raw format, of course).
Once you boot into the ISO image with QEMU, just run the installer as if it were a virtual machine — it’ll just use the physical device as an install target. After that, you’ll be able to seamlessly boot multiple distros (or even other operating systems) at once.
This command uses the debugger to attach to a running process, and reassign a filehandle to a file.
The two commands executed in gdb are
p close(1) which closes STDOUT
and
p creat("/tmp/filename",0600)
which creates a file and opens it for output. Since file handles are assigned
sequentially, this command opens the file in place of STDOUT and once the process continues, new output to STDOUT will instead be written to our capture file.
Replace 'SHOWNAME' with the name of the TV show.
Add -n to test the command without renaming files.
Check the 'sample output'.
swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"
This command will nicely dump a filesystem to STDOUT, compress it, encrypt it with the gpg key of your choice, throttle the the data stream to 60kb/s and finally use ssh to copy the contents to an image on a remote machine.
Show active calls as the happen on an Asterisk server. Note that the Asterisk command (in single quotes) is formatted for Asterisk 1.6. Use the -n flag on the watch command to modify the refresh period (in seconds - default is 2 seconds).
