make-the-admin-happy-with-one-line

Hi everybody,
how about starting a collection of cool linux admin tips/commands/...
Like:

# To search all files in a directory and it's subdirectories do this:
grep -risnH 'PATTERN' *

or
#  To copy a directory structure without changing atime/rights/own=
er/...
do this:
cd && find ./ -print | cpio -padm

Is there anybody out there with other cool
"make-the-admin-happy-with-one-line"
commands or similar tips ???

Greez,
daniel

creating a collection of tips/commands on a mailing list is a great
idea. but doing it on a mailing list may not be a good option. I think
we should document it so that it is available to all those who need it
rather than going throgh mailing list to get a set of commands.
does it sound good??

# change password of any user in a single line . This is useful for
use in scripts for changing passwords. You need root priveledges to
use --stdin option.

echo "password" | passwd --stdin username

I don't have any myself, but I know that Unix Guru Universe had a
tip-of-day mail that I used to subscribe to, but after a while (a year
or so) they started repeating the same tips quite often ... have a look
if you want http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?tip.today

Unix Power Tools by Peek, O'Reilly and Loukides also provides such
things. It is quite substantial, but it did come with a hefty price tag
AU$140 about 4 years ago.

Kind Regards,

Nathan Dietsch

I would be happy to contribute some one-liners. A wiki on a public
Wikifarm sounds ideal.

Re: make-the-admin-happy-with-one-line

hi,
i am talking with my institute to get a port on the public machine
so that all of us could access for putting one liners etc.As of now i
have only two ports open, one for apache and one for tomcat. I CUD NOT
find a wiki which runs on apache or tomcat and does not require a
seperate port for running. Most of the wiki's i found on internet run
on a new port.

I am new to using wiki. If any one of you could provide me with a
wiki which runs with apache/tomcat i will do the needful immediately?

OR i have an alternative in mind. I can create a simple
jsp/php page which all of us can use for creating new posts. I will
maintain a seperate html page listing all the posts in chronological
order and i will append new posts to the end of the html page created
through the jsp page. THIS I CAN DO IMMEDIATELY.

What is preferable?
thanks
Atishay
