Re: bash create md5 from string

You can pipe it using | echo -n "test" | md5sum (You need option -n because else md5sum will calculate the string with newline char.) should give something like: 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 - if you don't like the - at the end echo -n "test" | md5sum | gawk '{ print $1 }'

Re: Linux warning: database /etc/mail/aliases.db is older th

this is the database postfix uses to deliver the mails. /etc/mail/aliases is the plain text file you can update. If you didn't update it, check it for any strange user names. Perhaps you upgraded postfix, could have changed the date stamp of the file? /etc/mail/aliases.db is the hashed file used pos...

Re: grep multiple words

grep has an -E option (--extended-regexp)
This allows to us regular expressions.

Code: Select all

grep -E 'right|left' name_of_file.txt
You can check for more than 2:

Code: Select all

grep -E 'right|left|up|down' name_of_file.txt

Re: Generate random colors

I don't know of a special function,
but this is a function I use.

function random_color()
{
$r=rand(128,255);
$g=rand(128,255);
$b=rand(128,255);
$color=dechex($r).dechex($g).dechex($b);
return "#".$color;
}

Re: Linux update/install new kernel

Well most of the time your linux flavor has some automatic upgrade tools. gentoo : emerge debian/ubuntu : apt-get I recommend you use those. But if you want to do it manually, you can download the latest kernel from https://www.kernel.org/ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.10...

Re: CSS valign table

you are looking for vertical-align:top (equals valign=top in html) But I think it won't work for the entire table, you'll have to put (a separated class) in <tr> or <td> so something like this: <table class=test_table> <tr class=test_tr> <td>cell1</td> <td>cel2 test</td> </tr> </table> css file: .te...

Re: Log-file flooded with udevd error message

I had the same problem after a restart of one of my servers. It was the kernel that was too old. I think udev needs kernel 3.0 or newer to use this function (Not sure) I regularly update my programs, but rarely recompile the kernel. This happens when your server runs for years on end. Anyway I recom...

Re: What does /*!40001 SQL_NO_CACHE */ * means

This query is almost certainly due to a mysql dump being run on the database. Those are the style of queries it submits to extract the data for the dump. Check for the time when it happens, it might be a backup that is running. # Time: 130219 18:11:35 # User@Host: user[host] @ localhost [] # Query_t...
