clear tmp folder

Here is following commands to clear unwanted stuff from the /tmp partition on the server?

tmpwatch –mtime –all 48 /tmp

The above command will remove all files and folders from the /tmp which have not been accessed in the last couple of days (24×2=48). You can modify the number of hours as required.

change your server time to IST

If you need to change your server clock to another timezone for e.g. (Indian Standard Time), you can do so by modifying the /etc/localtime file:

mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta /etc/localtime

Transfer root emails to another email address

If you have root access to the server then open the file /etc/aliases in your favorite editor. Look for the section Person who should get root mail and make the change as required.

vim /etc/aliases

Person who should get root’s mail  ##
root:   info@unixserveradmin.com

special strings in cron

Instead of the first five fields, you can use any one of eight special strings. It will not just save your time but it will improve readability.

Special string    Meaning
@reboot ——> Run once, at startup.
@yearly ——> Run once a year, “0 0 1 1 *”.
@annually –> (same as @yearly)
@monthly —> Run once a month, “0 0 1 * *”.
@weekly —–> Run once a week, “0 0 * * 0″.
@daily ——–> Run once a day, “0 0 * * *”.
@midnight –> (same as @daily)
@hourly —–> Run once an hour, “0 * * * *”.

For e.g. run ntpdate every hour:
@hourly /path/to/ntpdatevim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

LibreOffice version conflict

I am not able to install latest version of Libre office. I get an error message for file LibreOffice_6.3.4_Win_x86.msi

LibreOffice 6.3.4.2 can not be installed on this Windows version. Windows 7 SP1 or newer is required.

The fix is easy. Download earlier version for e.g. 6.2 version file:
LibreOffice_6.2.0.1_Win_x64.msi

From:

https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/6.2.0.1/win/x86_64/

This site is very slow and may take 10 or 20 times more time to download older version compared to the latest one!
_____

If I try the 64 bit version file LibreOffice_6.3.4_Win_x64.msi then I get the processor error like this:

This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.

compare mysql schema

And here is poor man's schema compare using good old diff command...

mysqldump nasik1 --no-data > nasik1.sql

mysqldump -h1.2.3.4 murtizapur --no-data > murtizapur.sql

diff murtizapur.sql nasik1.sql --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines | grep -v ENGINE | grep -v BTREE > to_study.txt

Or use one of the packages:

14 days ago

This is the python way of calculating the date that is 14 days ago.

import datetime
(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days = 14)).date()

And this is pandas way of getting the same results:

import pandas as pd
(pd.datetime.today() - pd.offsets.Day(14)).floor('D')
