Courtney, who had seen them before, always sighed, [...]

    Usefull MySQL Commands

    There are a lot of usefully MySQL commands that I either don’t run enough to remember or just end up using some GUI to accomplish. Nothing against Navicat, but what kind of sysadmin would I be if I couldn’t do it at the command line as well. Anyhow, I had to do a bunch of [...]

    Script to Determine Solaris 10 Zone Type

    We use a lot of local zones in our Solaris 10 environment. We also use cfengine pretty heavily and there are some instances when we need to include or exclude certain automated tasks based on what type of zone we are working with. I wrote this little script that checks to see what type of [...]

    Check Speed / Duplex on Solaris 10

    In the past, I always had to use the ndd – get command to figure out what my link speed and duplex settings were. In Solaris 10, Sun now gives us the handy dladm command, which makes it a whole lot easier.

    Replace Failed SVM Mirror Drive

    So you have used SVM to mirror your disk, and one of the two drives fails. Aren’t you glad you mirrored them! You don’t have to do a restore from tape, but you are going have to replace the failed drive.

    Basic iptables Configuration

    It’s always a good idea to setup a local firewall on hosts that are on unprotected networks. The internet “winds” blow harder and harder each day, and it’s only a matter of time before some daemon has an exploit that gets taken advantage of. I use CentOS 5 for all my web servers, and here [...]
