| 5. Show hidden files in Finder: | |
| ``` | |
| defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE | |
| killall Finder | |
| (to disable set to FALSE) | |
| ``` | |
| 6. Show space-available at bottom of Finder windows: | |
| ``` | |
| View > Show Status Bar | |
| ``` | |
| 7. Bash loops | |
| ``` | |
| % for h in foobar-{app1,app2,lb1,lb2,utility1}.baz; do ssh $h 'echo `hostname -f` `readlink /usr/local | cut -d/ -f4`'; done | |
| % i=0 ; while [ $i -ne 50 ]; do i=$(($i+1)); echo -n "=== $i ===" ; time curl http://assets1.grouponcdn.com/static/stylesheets/app/home/index-iFTURNG0.css -s -o /dev/null; done | |
| % for h in splunk{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; do ssh $h 'hostname -f && df -h'; done | |
| % for h in 192.168.40.{70,71,84,85}; do echo -n "$h:"; ipmitool -I lanplus -H $h -U ADMIN -P ADMIN mc info; done | |
| % while : ; do echo foo ; sleep 5; done | |
| % sh -c 'while : ; do sh -c "date ; time curl -s http://config/host/HOSTNAME -o /dev/null ; date" >> curl.1.log 2>&1 ; sleep 5 ; done' | |
| ``` | |
| 8. cut use | |
| ``` | |
| bin/add_package lockrun-2011.09.02_15.52 `grep lockrun hostclasses/*.yml | cut -d: -f1 | xargs echo` | |
| vim `git stat | grep modified | cut -d: -f 2` | |
| ``` | |
| 9. Package/hostclass manipulation: | |
| ``` | |
| date +%Y.%m.%d_%H.%M | |
| git stat hostclasses | grep modified | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d. -f1 | awk '{print echo "git tag " $1 "-2011.09.02_16.48"}' | |
| ``` | |
| 10. Finding non-ascii characters: | |
| ``` | |
| find app | xargs grep -P "[\x80-\xFF]" | awk -F':' '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | |
| ``` | |
| 11. mv with shell expansion with {} | |
| ``` | |
| 0 eweathers@G12885(~) % mv .rvm{,.bak} | |
| 0 eweathers@G12885(~) % echo .rvm{,.bak} | |

| for i in `ls -l /usr/bin/* | grep Ruby.framework | awk '{print $9}'`; do echo sudo mv `dirname $i`/`basename $i @`{,.bak}; done | |
| ``` | |
| 12. Using diff+ssh in a single line to compare across hosts: | |
| ``` | |
| diff <(ssh HOSTNAME cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config) <(ssh HOSTNAME2 cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config) | |
| ``` | |
| That trick is called "process substitution". | |

| 13. tcpdumps: (no -s 65535 needed on recent tcpdumps) | |
| http://danielmiessler.com/study/tcpdump/ | |
| (a) find dns requests (adjusted for being on hosts in terremark): | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth1 -c3000 -l -n dst port 53 | grep api | |
| (thepoint@tm22-s00311) | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -c3000 -l -n port 3133 | |
| (b) capture all data: | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap | |
| (c) capture all data except port 22 (SSH): | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap port not 22 | |
| (d) capture just dns: | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap port 53 | |
| (e) find nfs requests | |
| sudo tcpdump -n -i any -c10000 dst port nfs | grep --line-buffered '"' | cut '-d"' -f2 | |
| (f) print HTTP GET requests | |
| sudo tcpdump -A -i eth0 -vvv -s 500 'tcp port 80 and ip[2:2] > 40 and tcp[tcpflags] & tcp-push != 0 and dst port 80' -f | |
| (g) debugging ganglia's gmetad | |
| sudo tcpdump -w /tmp/gmetad.pcap -s 0 -vxli lo src host localhost and dst host localhost and dst portrange 8660-8777 | |
| (h) capturing traffic for a particular source subnet | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap src net 50.115.209.0/24 | |
| (i) capturing traffic for a particular host with a particular port | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap host 10.20.43.21 and port 22 | |
| (j) capture multicast or broadcast | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap -n "multicast or broadcast" | |
| (k) show outbound TCP traffic that is not SSH | |
| sudo tcpdump -i eth0 tcp and src host `ip address show dev eth0 primary | sed -n 's,^ inet ,,p' | sed 's,/.*$,,'` and port not 22 | |
| (l) rotating output file every 600 secs, retain only 18 files | |
| sudo tcpdump -w avatax-slow-pings-%Y%m%d%H%M%S.dump -G 600 -W 18 -vv '(host avatax.avalara.net and port 443)' | |
| (j) tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/1.pcap 'tcp port 8080 or tcp portrange 31000-31100' | |
| 14. SSHing thru a bastion to another host using 2 different keys: | |
| ssh -i ~/.ssh/us_east.pem -o ProxyCommand='ssh bastion.east-aws.domainname nc %h %p' root@SOMETARGETHOST | |
| - The pem key here is for sshing into the SOMETARGETHOST host as root. | |
| - My default ssh key is being used for executing the proxy command of sshing into the bastion.east-aws.domainname | |
| 15. Find out which processes are listening on TCP ports on Mac: | |
| sudo lsof -P -i tcp | grep -i listen | |
| 16. Create SSH tunnel to a particular port on a server (TARGETHOST) thru a bastion (ssh jump) host (BASTIONHOST): | |
| To use localhost:8001 to connect to port 80 of TARGETHOST | |
| ssh -L8001:BASTIONHOST:80 -qnN BASTIONHOST | |
| To use localhost:2200 to connect to port 22 of TARGETHOST | |
| ssh -L2200:BASTIONHOST:22 -qnN BASTIONHOST | |
| Another version: | |
| ssh -f -N -L 50000:TARGETHOSTSHORTNAME:50000 BASTIONHOST | |
| 17. Create a general HTTP proxy over an SSH tunnel thru a bastion: | |
| ssh -L 21785:127.0.0.1:21785 -R 21785:127.0.0.1:21786 -L3133:TARGETHOST:3128 BASTIONHOST -qnN | |
| Then you set your HTTP proxy (in your app's config) to localhost:3133, and send your HTTP requests thru it, and they will be proxied out thru the final host specified (TARGETHOST in the case above). | |
| TODO: study the options here and grok them. | |
| NOTE: this cmd is created automatically using the autossh package and this cmd: | |
| autossh -M "20001" -f '-L3131:TARGETHOST:3128 BASTIONHOST' -qnN | |
| 18. Translate Excel CSV to have unix-parseable newlines instead of ^M chars: | |
| tr -s '^M' '\n' < foo-types.csv > foo-types-newlines.csv | |
| (where ^M is entered as "ctrl-V-M") | |
| Alternatively: | |
| tr -s '\015' '\012' | |
| 19. History expansion in zsh | |
| http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/workshops/zsh/history/hist_expn.html | |
| !^ - first arg | |
| !$ - last arg | |
| 20. Printing last N commands in zsh, and getting the time spent in each: | |
| fc -D -l -1000 | |
| 21. Printing all commands in zsh history: | |
| fc -l 1 | |
| 22. Suppress command numbers in zsh history: | |
| fc -ln 1 | |
| 23. add prefix to input lines coming in, and combine into a single line with the strings separated by spaces: | |
| some-cmd | perl -pe '$_ = "hostclasses/" . $_' | tr -s '\012' ' ' | |
| 24. Fix broken ssh-agent forwarding that is blocking a deploy. Try in a fresh shell: | |
| eval `ssh-agent` | |
| ssh-add | |
| (re-run your deploy command) | |
| 25. Ruby 1-liner to print a range of numbers in a comma sequence | |
| ruby -e '(51..75).each { |n| print "#{n}," }' | |
| Better (no trailing comma): | |
| ruby -e 'puts (51..75).inject{|s,n| "#{s},#{n}"}' | |
| works: | |
| for h in 192.168.64.{51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75}; do echo -n "$h:"; ipmitool -I lanplus -H $h -U ADMIN -P ADMIN power status; done | |
| does not work: | |
| for h in 192.168.64.{`ruby -e 'puts (51..75).inject{|s,n| "#{s},#{n}"}'`}; do echo -n "$h:"; ipmitool -I lanplus -H $h -U ADMIN -P ADMIN power status; done | |
| 26. Slow-running tail of large file across NFS to keep filehandle open: | |
| thepoint@tm50-s00123 ~ $ perl -e 'open my $fh, "/shared39/thepoint/sitemap.xml" or die; while(<$fh>) { print $_; select undef, undef, undef, 0.5 } close $fh' | |
| For the record, here's the change he applied on both tm50-s00039 (NFS primary) and tm27-s00202 (warm backup): | |
| 27. See entire history of changes for a file: | |
| git log --follow -p <filename> | |
| 28. Debugging "rake test" tasks: | |
| a) use rdebug: | |
| http://www.offbyzero.com/resources/debugging_rails_rdebug | |
| b) print messages: | |
| $stderr.puts | |
| c) can run the test directly; e.g., | |
| ruby test/colo_test.rb | |
| d) enable verbose output: | |
| rake test TESTOPTS="-v" | |
| 29. git: Show entirety of a file at a particular change (hash): | |
| git show <hash>:<path> | |
| 30. Generate SSH thumbprint from private key: | |
| ssh-keygen -lf <keyfile> | |
| 31. If you notice inconsistencies with order of output of "ls" cmds for files on different hosts, it is likely due to inconsistent locale settings. | |
| 32. If a username is longer than 8 characters, then "ps aux" will substitute the uid for username. | |
| Explanation for why "ps aux" shows a UID instead of the name touch_deploy | |
| 33. If linux is hanging after the "SELinux: Disabled at runtime" prompt, you probably have bad entries in /etc/fstab: | |
| http://www.spamstopshere.com/blog/2008/07/21/linux-hangs-at-selinux-disabled-at-runtime/ | |
| 34. Connecting to someone's screen session in readonly mode: | |

| 46. Checking whether a URL is marked for CDN caching (by going to the origin server): | |
| not cachable: | |
| curl -I "https://origin.foobar.com" | |
| returns header: Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate | |
| cachable by CDN: | |
| curl -I "https://origin.foobar.com" | |

| 109. Enable Safari Debug menu: | |
| (Terminal)# defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1 | |
| Then relaunch safari | |
| 110. Function in Google Docs Spreadsheet (using IF with AND): | |
| =IF(AND(B2 = "snake", C2 <> "yes"), "YES", "no") | |
| 111. Search in Mac Finder: default to "this folder", instead of "this mac": | |
| http://superuser.com/questions/365731/finder-how-to-make-default-search-in-folder-the-current-folder | |

| http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codemac.html | |
| ¿: shift-option-? | |
| ñ: alt-n,n | |
| 115. yawk trick: avoid lots of if logic with rescue | |
| Perhaps this is super obvious to everybody but me, but this empty rescue statement saved me a ton of "if" logic, which is ugly when concatenated together in a one-liner: | |
| bin/yawk 'begin puts "#{d.hostname}.#{d.colo}: " + d.monitors.iostat.shell_command; rescue; end' hosts/* | |
| Or: "Show me the hostname.colo and shell command of all hosts which have overridden the iostat monitor from their hostclass" | |
| This can be shortened even further by using the "inline rescue"... | |
| bin/yawk 'puts "#{d.hostname}.#{d.colo}: " + d.monitors.iostat.shell_command rescue nil' hosts/* | |
| 116. To edit a cmdline string directly in vim | |
| ctrl-x ctrl-e | |

| 117. Apache: disable keepalives (to avoid requiring clients to send "Connection: close" HTTP header) | |
| http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#keepalive | |
| 118. Looking for logs in Mac? Console.app is your friend. | |
| 119. Ruby Gem File inclusion failure: | |
| require 'net/ssh' not working for ya? How about require 'whatever'? | |
| Could be that you need to require 'rubygems' first! | |
| http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 | |
| http://guides.rubygems.org/what-is-a-gem/ | |
| 120. generating email and sending over SMTP | |

| xtress: load testing suite for smtp | |
| 121. Get vi-mode in bash to work better: | |
| http://www.jukie.net/bart/blog/20040326082602 | |
| # ^l clear screen | |
| bind -m vi-insert "\C-l":clear-screen | |
| # allow all readline clients to use vi-mode too | |
| set editing-mode vi | |
| set keymap vi | |
| set convert-meta on | |
| 122. Gmail slowness? | |
| * disable/remove boomerang browser add-on | |
| * disable the "3rd party access" authorization within your account for b4g.baydin.com (that's boomerang for gmail's domain): | |
| http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=41236 | |
| * disable ALL mail applications that were using IMAP to access gmail. For me that meant Mail.app on MacBook, iPad, iPhone. | |
| For iPad, iPhone, just did this: | |
| Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > myaccountname > Mail > Off | |
| 123. pdsh : distributed ssh, executes cmd on multiple hosts | |
| pdsh -w foohost[1-6].colo df -h | |
| 124. Finding memory hog proceses: | |
| watch -n 30 top -c -o res -b >> mem.log | |
| 125. Clear / delete / remove IP address completely from interface | |
| So, if you have a pre-existing IP config on an interface, say eth1, and then you just remove that config, the | |
| IP config will linger on (visible in output of both ifconfig && ip addr), even though there is no ifcfg-eth1 script in | |
| /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts | |
| To fully remove the IP address from the interface, it is insufficient to just restart networking, | |
| nor can you just down and up the interface. Nor can "ifconfig del" help you. | |
| You need to use "ip addr del", or you need to set the IP to 0.0.0.0: | |
| http://superuser.com/questions/153559/clear-ip-address-of-ethernet-interface | |
| i.e., | |
| ip addr del 1.2.3.4 dev eth1 | |
| ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 | |
| 126. du and df being out of sync: | |
| Explanation: | |
| du will not show space used by files that are deleted from the filesystem (e.g., with rm) | |
| but are still being held by a process, since they are not reachable thru the directory | |
| tree anymore. But the space is not reclaimed by the filesystem until all references to a | |
| file are gone. | |
| df will still show the space as being used until the references are gone. | |
| Find the dangling references: | |
| sudo lsof | grep '(deleted)' | |
| 127. Getting cmd line text into Mac's paste buffer: | |
| echo "foo" | pbcopy | |
| 128. Make Safari less sucky: | |
| http://www.machangout.com | |
| 129. getting info on what the CPU/IO/memory is doing: | |
| mpstat -P ALL 1 | |
| iostat -mtx 1 | |
| vmstat 1 | |
| htop | |
| 130. split CSV list into separate lines with line-number prefixes: | |
| % echo 'foo,bar,baz' | tr ',' '\n' | nl -ba -s') ' | |
| 1) foo | |
| 2) bar | |
| 3) baz | |

| http://sandofsky.com/blog/git-workflow.html | |
| 132. paste cmd to combine multiple lines | |
| echo "foo\nbar" | paste -s -d' ' - | |
| 133. use awk as the opposite of paste cmd; i.e., to rip a each line from a file apart into multiple lines | |
| echo 'email-msys1 10.0.0.1' | awk '{print "- address: " $2":2525", "\n name: " $1}' | |
| 134. storing text records in DNS that are greater than 512 bytes | |

| [root@hostname /]# df /some/dir/log | |
| Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on | |
| /dev/sdb1 1133279828 536728136 538055816 50% /data | |
| 136. To get all git tags | |
| git fetch --tags | |
| git pull does not get all tags but only those reachable from the current branch heads. However, git pull --tags fetches all tags and is apparently equivalent to git fetch --tags. | |

| while true; do date && (time dig @10.20.253.33 A DNSHOSTNAME +short +timeout=30) 2>&1 | tee -a dns.log; sleep 0.1; done | |
| 139. Use dig to perform reverse DNS lookup of 50.115.214.1: | |

| 149. how to daemonize a process: | |
| http://www.itp.uzh.ch/~dpotter/howto/daemonize | |
| To properly daemonize, the following steps must be followed. | |
| The fork() call is used to create a separate process. | |
| The setsid() call is used to detach the process from the parent (normally a shell). | |
| The file mask should be reset. | |
| The current directory should be changed to something benign. | |
| The standard files (stdin,stdout and stderr) need to be reopened. | |
| Failure to do any of these steps will lead to a daemon process that can misbehave. The typical symptoms are as follows. | |
| Starting the daemon and then logging out will cause the terminal to hang. This is particularly nasty with ssh. | |
| The directory from which the daemon was launched remains locked. | |
| Spurious output appears in the shell from which the daemon was started. | |

| Could you paste a sampling of "sudo netstat -alnp | grep CLOSE_WAIT | grep unicorn"? | |
| Does the situation change if you disable keepalive at the nginx or app level? (send "Connection: close" header) | |
| 156. What process string do pkill & pgrep & killall search through? | |
| http://askubuntu.com/questions/27501/whats-the-difference-between-killall-and-pkill | |

| 167. Make yourself admin on a Mac (Mountain Lion) | |
| I just got a new MBAir from IT and they didn't set my account up as a computer admin. This made it so I couldn't change security settings (like FileVault), set up the VPN, or install certain software. | |
| The best solution is to have IT set you up as an admin, but if that's not an option (I'm working from home today), here's how to do it: | |
| 1) shut down the computer | |
| 2) boot into single-user mode by holding down CMD-s as you power on the computer | |
| 3) when it's done booting, run these commands: | |
| # fsck -fy | |
| # mount -uw / | |
| # launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist | |
| # sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a yourlogin -t user admin | |
| # sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a yourlogin -t user wheel | |
| # reboot | |
| 4) When the machine is done booting, log in and now you're an admin! | |

| chsh -s /bin/zsh | |
| chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish # http://fishshell.com/ | |
| 172. Combine output from 2+ cmds into 1 stream by using a sub-shell which concatenates output into 1 stream: | |
| (foo; bar;) | baz | |
| Tests of it not being interleaved: | |
| (yes foo | head -n 50000; yes bar | head -n 50000;) > /tmp/5 | |
| (seq 0 99999; seq 1000000 1099999) > /tmp/5 | |
| 173. The "suck" effect for minimizing a window on OS X | |
| You can choose between the "scale" or "genie" effect when you minimize a window on your Mac. But there's a secret third choice called "suck." | |
| Start up Terminal and type "defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck" and restart your computer. The new effect is activated. | |

| https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18351198/what-are-the-uses-of-the-exec-command-in-shell-scripts | |
| 219. Prefer long-form bash redirects | |

| MESOS_ZK=zk://zookeeperhostname:2181/mesos_dev | |
| 222. Undo last git commit: | |
| git reset --soft HEAD^ | |
| 223. Ansible use of paramiko vs. native OpenSSH | |
| When switching between source hosts for running ansible you might notice differing | |
| behaviors w.r.t. ansible respecting your ~/.ssh/config options. This happens because | |
| ansible (after 1.2) tries to use OpenSSH if it's version 5.6+, and if the version of | |
| OpenSSH is too old then ansible falls back to using paramiko, which doesn't respect | |
| the ~/.ssh/config parameters like OpenSSH does. | |
| Notably, Centos6 doesn't have OpenSSH 5.6+. | |
| To overcome this, add the following section to ~/.ansible.cfg: | |
| [defaults] | |
| host_key_checking = False | |
| http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html#remote-connection-information | |
| http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html#host-key-checking | |
| 224. ZooKeeper: delete nodes recursively in zookeeper-3.3* | |
| https://github.com/davidledwards/zookeeper/tree/master/zookeeper-cli | |
| 225. Capture packets remotely using tcpdump & wireshark: | |
| wireshark -k -i <(ssh REMOTE_HOST "sudo tcpdump -w - port 6557") | |
| 226. Use sed to clean up known_hosts | |
| gsed -i '/staas-worker.*staging/d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts | |
| 227. get CPU usage info for a PID: | |
| ps -p PID -o cputime ; ps -p PID -o etime ; ps -p PID -o %cpu | |
| NOTE: cputime is cumulative across all cores, so can be more than elapsed time (clock time) | |
| 228. List threads owned by monitord | |
| ps u -L -U monitord | |
| 229. Get actual cpu usage; ps's %cpu is cummulative for time process has run: | |
| ps -o%cpu,cputime,etime -p 28038 | |
| i.e., %cpu by default is just etime / cputime | |
| so really, we need to take the difference between 2 snapshots of cputime over a | |
| period of time to get the usage during that period | |
| TODO: write a wrapper for doing that | |
| 230. Vim: substitute newline | |
| use \r instead of \n | |

| # PULL: from remote host to this host: | |
| ssh REMOTEHOST "tar czf - kernel" | tar xzf - | |
| # PULL: with root-owned files | |
| ssh REMOTEHOST "cd /etc ; sudo tar czpf - ssh" | sudo tar xzpf - | |
| # where kernel & ssh are dirs with a bunch of files | |

| while true ; do for p in /proc/[0-9]*; do sudo sh -c "strings $p/environ | grep MESOS && cat $p/cmdline ; strings $p/environ | grep MESOS" ; done; done; | |
| 235. Bash check exit values | |
| http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/testing-exit-values-bash/ | |
| # Bad practice | |
| grep -q regex options | |
| if (($? > 0)); then | |
| printf '%s\n' 'myscript: Pattern not found!' >&2 | |
| exit 1 | |
| fi | |
| # Better | |
| if grep -q regex options; then | |
| # Do nothing | |
| : | |
| else | |
| printf '%s\n' 'myscript: Pattern not found!\n' >&2 | |
| exit 1 | |
| fi | |

| 278. to ensure proper script behavior follow these tips: | |
| For script authors: Every bash script that uses the cd command with a relative path needs | |
| to call unset CDPATH, or else it may not work correctly. Scripts that don’t use cd should | |
| probably do it anyway, in case someone puts a cd in later. | |
| For users: Never export CDPATH from your shell to the environment. If you use CDPATH then | |
| set it in your .bashrc file and don’t export it, so that it’s only set in interactive | |
| shells. | |
