Linux Hacks
Although my work life revolves around the Windows environment, I use Linux based machines on a daily basis. My web server is debian based, my desktop pc currently runs Ubuntu 10.04 as does my home server. I also have a linux based NAS box.
I have a fair few scripts which run as CRON jobs (scheduled tasks) to do various tasks both on my machines and my webserver. For instance the PHP scripts that look after my Twitter Importer run each hour.
As with everything else, there are a few scripts which I wish to share. You can find them all from this page. If you have any ideas to improve my stuff, please let me know via the comments!
If you are new to Linux, or perhaps need to know something about one of the functions or programs I use to do these scripts, please check the “Basics” page!
