(Bash) Using wget or curl to download web sites for archival - rwczippy

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:24:43 GMT

This will start at the specified URL and recursively download pages up to 3 links away from the original page, but only pages which are in the directory of the URL you specified (emacstips/) or one of its subdirectories. wget will also rewrite the links in the pages it downloaded to make your downloaded copy a useful local copy, and it will download all page prerequisites (e.g. images, stylesheets, and the like). The last two options -nH --cut-dirs=1 control where wget places the output. If you omitted those two options, wget would, for example, download http://web.psung.name/emacstips/index.html and place it under a subdirectory web.psung.name/emacstips of the current directory. With only -nH ("no host directory") wget would write that same file to a subdirectory emacstips. And with both options wget would write that same file to the current directory. In general, if you want to reduce the number of extraneous directories created, change cut-dirs to be the number of leading directories in your URL.

(Bash) Dynamic BASH Prompt - robh

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:40:17 GMT

A very dynamic and flexible bash prompt. Personally I find this to have everything needed. It shows exit status, shortens itself for long directories, and shows bash history for easy referencing. Hopefully it doesn't get messed up.

(Bash) Set up public private keys for ssh - micmath

(Bash) SSH tunnel to local port - zachwood

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:31:20 GMT

To connect to your database remotely, tunnel in via SSH. This creates an encrypted tunnel to your Slice’s mySQL port (3306) on your local port of 8888. Point your local admin/GUI app to localhost:8888. If this does not work, and you are running OS X with CocoaMySQL try pointing it to 0.0.0.0:8888 instead.

(Bash) SVN Add Recursively - tylerhall

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:54:09 GMT
