Check These Out
This should automatically mount it to /media/truecrypt1. Further mounts will go to /media/truecrypt2, and so on. You shouldn't need sudo/su if your permissions are right.
I alias tru='truecrypt' since tr and true are commands.
To explicitly create a mount point do: tru volume.tc /media/foo
To make sure an GUI explorer window (nautilus, et al) opens on the mounted volume, add: --explorer
To see what you currently have mounted do: tru -l
To dismount a volume do: tru -d volume.tc. To dismount all mounted volumes at once do: tru -d
Tested with Truecrypt v6.3a / Ubuntu 9.10
This will deal nicely with filenames containing newlines and will run one lzma process per CPU core. It requires GNU Parallel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaiGYxkSuQ
This shows every bit of information that stat can get for any file, dir, fifo, etc. It's great because it also shows the format and explains it for each format option.
If you just want stat help, create this handy alias 'stath' to display all format options with explanations.
$ alias stath="stat --h|sed '/Th/,/NO/!d;/%/!d'"
To display on 2 lines:
$ ( F=/etc/screenrc N=c IFS=$'\n'; for L in $(sed 's/%Z./%Z\n/'
parallel can be installed on your central node and can be used to run a command multiple times.
In this example, multiple ssh connections are used to run commands. (-j is the number of jobs to run at the same time). The result can then be piped to commands to perform the "reduce" stage. (sort then uniq in this example).
This example assumes "keyless ssh login" has been set up between the central node and all machines in the cluster.
bashreduce may also do what you want.
swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"
ack search recursively by default
I'm annoyed by the boilerplate "don't login unless you are supposed messages in our environment" - this shuts them up.
Slightly shorter to type
Makes a partition in ram which is useful if you need a temporary working space as read/write access is fast.
Be aware that anything saved in this partition will be gone after your computer is turned off.
