Sat, 18 Jun 2011 03:43:03 UTC

First, find the proper package from http://www.joomla.org/download/ and copy its path. Then, over ssh, navigate to the root of the joomla install and perform these commands. In the case of an upgrade, this will overwrite in place the needed files, and in the case of an install, will unpack the package directly in the folder it was uploaded to. Much faster than unzipping locally and ftping.

Sun, 23 May 2010 15:24:10 UTC

This command line aims at moving directories from a target location to the present working directory (pwd), backing the pwd directories up as it encounters them. The script works by: 1. Iterating through the contents of the target directory (using the unix ls command) 2. Checking whether the current object is a directory 3. Moving the pwd directory to a backup location using the unix mv command 4. Moving the target location's directory to the present working directory 5. Printing out the modified directory's name using the unix echo command

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:05:54 UTC

This script pulls in files with [rsync](http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/), storing them locally with hardlinks for unchanged, and real files for changed -files. * KEY=$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa_passwdless -- an id_rtsa key without a password. --adding this to remote authorized keys must be done with care: you will prbably want to whitelist one IP-adress. * RHOST=ssh.example.com -- the host where to connect to using ssh, or rsync. * RUSER=example-username -- the username on the host. Must have _read_ access in the SOURCE dit (see below). * LPATH=$HOME/Archive/example-com/ -- where to place the backups * RPATH=/var/www/example-com/ -- the to-be-backuped dir. You probably want to add this as script (`backup_example-com.sh`) in `~/bin`, or any other directory available in `$PATH`. And then add it to crontab. See a howto here: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html
