Terminal Standard Output – Slowwwww Down

Dec 5th

Posted by nseidm1 in less

No comments

Have you ever hit an ls and it prints way to much? Have you ever hit a ps and its prints way too much? There are several things you can do. You can pipe it to a grep filter. If your search a downloads folder for NVIDIA drivers do:

ls | grep NVIDIA

You can also use the less command. Using less will fill the standard output with text and then prompt you to proceed to the next page. For example use:

ls | less

Use the space bar to continue to the next page. This is quite convenient for large standard outputs. q will terminate the scrolling g allows you to go to a particular line.

VirtualBox Vista Images Coming Back

I’m installing a copy of Vista in a virtual machine right now. The license will expire, but I’m not installing it for useful purposes. I’m going to re-add previously lost images to the most popular page on this website.

http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/virtualbox-windows-vista-host-network-bridge-and-tap/

Although I find the page quite unnecessary, being the way to implement host networking has changed significantly, many people do not heed the notice posted quite conspicuously at the top of the page. By tomorrow the images will be back :)

Nagios Virtual Server Monitoring in 15 Minutes – Intro

Feb 26th

Nagios allows you to graphically monitor your virtual servers from a single web page. No longer will you have to load each individual website or web service in order to verify consistent operation. Nagios can be downloaded directly from their website at: http://www.nagios.com On the Nagios homepage is a link to a 15 minute tutorial, which is relatively straight forward, and works like a charm. I recommend Ubuntu JeOS for your virtual OS specifically because the kernel works flawlessly with the host operating system.

Welcome to the Frontpage – Change Joomla Title

Aug 21st

The default title of the Joomla CMS system is “Welcome to the Frontpage”. In the new Joomla 1.5rc1, to change the default homepage title tag do the following:

login to your administrator panel

From the menu tab select “main menu”

Click the “home” checkbox, then click the edit button

Then click the “Parameters System” on the right to drop down the menu

Now you can choose to display the default page title, you can change the page title, or you disable the page title. If you disable the page title, I have observed that the default homepage title becomes the title of the main article set to display on the homepage.
