Schwer Log

Here’s a quick script you can put in your cron rotation to check and see if there are any updates available and what they are:


#!/bin/bash

exit 0


Ed: another one that was sitting in “drafts” for months.

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for rsyncd.
#
# chkconfig: 345 86 16
# description: rsync rocks.
#

case “$1″ in
start)
echo “Starting rsyncd…”
/opt/rsync/bin/rsync –daemon –ipv4
;;
stop)
echo “Stopping rsyncd…”
killall /opt/rsync/bin/rsync
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo “Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}”
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

Ed: this has been sitting in my “drafts” box for a while now, so I figure I might as well just push it out.

Here’s a script I wrote to count the bandwidth used from the Apache access_log:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "Amount of bandwidth : $total MB\n";

Here’s a little script I wrote that attempts to find and disable old phpBB instances that may be vulnerable to the recent phpBB Worm in the wild.


#!/usr/bin/perl
# Name: Augie Schwer
# File: find-vuln.pl
# Date: 18, July 2005
# Purpose: Find vulnerable phpBBs and disable them.

print "Location: $location \n";
print "This V : $this_version \n";
print "New V : $newest_version \n";
}
}


Supybot is a neat little IRC bot written in Python. I had been looking for a bot to do some logging of my favorite IRC channel (#nblug on irc.nblug.org). The setup was pretty easy and the documentation is nice, but the one thing I didn’t find was an init script, so I modified one from an existing blootbot init script.


#! /bin/sh
#
# supybot init script
#
#
# Cobbled together from the blootbot init script.
#

exit 0


Note: I am still a big Mandriva weenie, but the server this bot runs on is a Debian box.

Oh sweet nectar; a repository for your favorite regular expressions.

Here is a bit of code to get an interface’s information; including the interface name, and MAC address:

I added an HFile for C to the CodeBeautifier plugin, and I want to see how it turns out. Click ‘continue reading’ to see the actual code.

alarmClock is a program I wrote last semester for my Systems Programming course. The program is actually two programs; one that is a menu, and the other that is a timer. Signals are sent between the two processes to coordinate the alarm going off, hitting snooze, and quitting the program all together. Here is a sample with the timer set to five seconds, the snooze set at three seconds, and the ring “tone” set to ‘ringing’.

[augie@gohan alarmClock]$ ./alarmClock -t 5 -s 3 ringing wait_for_child

Here is one of the problems we had for Theory of Comp. and my solution. It’s an interesting problem, but really just a an excuse to try out the CodeBeautifier plugin for MT.
