Check These Out
I used to use the Firefox "View page info" feature a lot to determine how stale the web page I was looking at was. Now that I use mostly Chrome I miss that feature, so here is a command line alternative using wget. The -S says to display the server response, the --spider says to not download any files/pages, just fetch the header. The output goes to stderr, so to grep it you use 2>&1 to combine the stderr stream with stdout, the pipe that to grep for Last-Modified.
You can use curl instead if you have it installed, like this:
$ curl --head -s http://osswin.sourceforge.net | grep Mod
In my case it was actually like this...
I like to label my grub boot options with the correct kernel version/build.
After building and installing a new kernel with "make install" I had to edit my grub.conf by hand.
To avoid this, I've decided to write this little command line to:
1. read the version/build part of the filename to which the kernel symlinks point
2. replace the first label lines of grub.conf
grub.conf label lines must be in this format:
Latest [{name}-{version/build}]
Old [{name}-{version/build}]
only the {version/build} part is substituted.
For instance:
title Latest [GNU/Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r10.201003]
would turn to
title Latest [GNU/Linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r7.201004]"
You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token.
This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use:
`awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'`
You must adapt the command line to include:
* $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one
* TTL for the credentials
Optionally, pipe the output into http://sed.sourceforge.net/grabbag/scripts/html2iso.sed
Or: wget -qO - http://www.asciiartfarts.com/random.cgi | sed -n '//,//p' | sed -n '/
Sometimes you have a script that needs and inputfile for execution. If you don't want to create one because it may contain only one line you can use the `
