Check These Out
Intended for dynamic ip OpenDNS users, this command will update your OpenDNS network IP.
For getting your IP, you can use one of the many one-liners here on commandlinefu.
Example:
I use this in a script which is run by kppp after it has successfully connected to my ISP:
---
#!/bin/bash
IP="`curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org/ | grep -o '[[:digit:].]\+'`"
PW="hex-obfuscated-pw-here"
if [ "$IP" == "" ] ; then echo 'Not online.' ; exit 1
else
wget -q --user=topsecret --password="`echo $PW | xxd -ps -r`" 'https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=myhostname&myip='"$IP" -O -
/etc/init.d/ntp-client restart &
fi
---
PS: DynDNS should use a similar method, if you know the URL, please post a comment. (Something with members.dyndns.org, if I recall correctly)
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:
* $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one
* TTL for the credentials
Handy when you need to create a list of files to be updated when subversion is not available on the remote host. You can take this tar file, and upload and extract it where you need it. Replace M and N with the revisions specific to yours. Make sure you do this from an updated (svn up) working directory.
When you have one of those (log)files that only has epoch for time (since no one will ever look at them as a date) this is a way to get the human readable date/time and do further inspection.
Mostly perl-fu :-/
Suppose that you had change in a directory like /home/user/mycode/code, and now you need to list it, instead of type entire path again, use ls !$ to recall path and list. Useful with many commands, this is only an example. (In this case, same result can be achivied with ls .)
This removes the video and subsequent file size and directly copies the audio.
Works on nearly all linux distros
