Is there a preferred way to back up a config database in MySQL?
I'm talking about a schema with ~160 tables where most of the tables have less than 100 rows of data. Only one or two tables change in any given month. Restores; when they need to happen, are usually just one table.
The current method is to back up the whole database every night.
If there an easy way to dump out the tables one by one into a directory tree that could then be added to source code control?
I'm looking for a way to search a directory or directories and list all the files that have the wrong permissions for a public directory.
Is it possible to configure sshd installed via cygwin on WinXP to use LDAP for user authentication? If so, where can I find a howto guide to do this?
Is there a way to configure bash on Linux (red hat and ubuntu) to allow shell scripts to be encoded in UTF-8?
I can't find a simple way to change just one little thing and have the whole system just use UTF-8 files without having to worry about encoding.
When I ping ping system a from system b; I get an avg of 1.494ms. When I ping system b from system a; I get an avg of .896ms.
I ran a test my pinging once every 10 second for 1.5 hours. I ran this on both machines. I then re-ran the test several times over 6 days at different times and for different lengths of time. In all cases, pings from b->a out performed pings from a->b by 20% to 50%
I then tried file transfers from a->b and b->a. They varied by less than 5%.
These are identical Linux RedHat servers. Same hardware, same software.
I fully understand that if I were a normal well adjusted person that wasn't obsessive and anal retentive I would have shrugged my shoulders and moved on after noticing the first discrepancy. But I am totally maddened by this.
What on earth could be causing this and how would I check if that is the case?
Thanks
Is there any way to install or activate sshd in an Apple Time Capsule in the way you can download dd-wrt and install custom firmware on a netgear router?
I'd like to enable sshfs access to Time Capsule. And possibly install pyTivo to have it serve files to my Tivo.
Anyone done this?
What are the best techniques to improve rsync over ssh mirroring between unix boxes, assuming that one system will always have the master copy and the other system will always have a recent copy (less than 48hrs old)
Also, what would one have to do to scale that approach to handle dozens of machines getting a push of those changes?
What's the easiest way to get a list of windows desktops that are on a subnet but do not have names listed in the dns server?
I have a partition /dev/sdb1 and a partition /dev/sdb2
They are both in /etc/fstab with proper UUIDs and mounted as /opt and /home
I'd like to merge them without losing any files
Can this be done from the command line without having to move all the files?
