(Bash) bash: how to start a service and wait until it\'s up - noah

Sometimes you need to start a service that takes a while to spin up. Solr and Selenium-RC Server, for instance, can be unavailable for several seconds after the command to start them is issued. Using Netcat, it's easy to poll-and-wait until a newly-started service begins listening on its proper port.

(Bash) verify a service is up and running with netcat and Hudson - noah

Use the `-z` option to netcat so you don\\\\\\\'t have to bother with piping input into the port once opened. All you want to know is if the service is up!\\r\\n\\r\\nThen, if you are running this checker inside of Hudson, you need to set the BUILD_ID env var to something abitrary like BUILD_ID=dontKill\\r\\n\\r\\nKludgy, but [it works](http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-2729?focusedCommentId=127805&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_127805)

(Bash) periodic (Mac OS X Maintenance Scripts) - rhockens

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 07:25:40 GMT

"...UNIX systems run scheduled maintenance routines — known as maintenance scripts — to clean up a variety of System logs and temporary files. By default, these are executed between 03:15 and 05:30 hours local time, depending on the script. If your Mac is shut down or in sleep mode during these hours, the maintenance scripts will not run. This results in log files that will grow over time, consuming free space on your Mac OS X startup disk. If your Mac is shut down or left in sleep mode overnight, you need to invoke these maintenance routines manually on a regular basis. That is, unless you plan on devoting a large portion of your hard drive to the files cleaned-up by these routines!"
