often I have to rename a whole set of files that have not processed correctly, to do this I rename them with Bash, a simple script to do this is :
for f in *_3; do mv "$f" "${f/_3/_0}"; done
this renames all files ending in _3 to the same filename but now ending in _0
So I have noticed that from time to time the /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions versions get out of sync, to fix this its as simple as just removing the config (make rmconfig [only if you want to add more modules]) and rebuilding make install -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER
Need an X11 interface that works quickly and for free... install Cygwin with X11 and openssh.... then make sure your ssh on your remote host has X11forwarding=yes.
from your bash shell in cygwin type startx a x11 xterm will come up and type:
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 ssh -Y remotehost
you set... then any remote x app will appear on your desktop
When you use some program like spamassassin, you will notice that the debug information :
spamassassin -D --lint
goes to stderr ... so you cant use grep as straight forward as you want. Here is how to pipe it to grep in bash:
spamassassin --lint -D 2>&1 | grep ....
or spamassassin --lint -D > output.txt 2>&1
to pipe it to a file first.
So it often comes to the time to find what is taking all the space on your hard drive and like many things in unix, this isnt so straight forward, du (disk usage) will tell you how to do this, here will show you your top ten offending directories:
du -ha / | sort -n -r | head -n 10
du -ha = disk usage in human readable format ( lowest to highest )
sort -n -r = reverse the order
head -n 10 = top ten
| = pipe the output to the next command
