Some Bits Of System Administration
… things that I found valuable or that I contributed myself
New and updated stuff
Bash scripts
-
-
mail_syntax: A script to "validate"/check the syntax of e-mail addresses
-
postpone: A script to postpone some action for a given time
showmydisks: A script to report partitions, types, file systems, mount points, and usage
eMail helpers
-
-
-
attachment_filter.pl: A Perl script to remove unwanted attachments, e.g. all non-text binary attachments
-
-
fullquoteremover: 2 simple scripts (Bash + AWK) to automatically remove full or excessive quotes from e-mail message replies.
However, please note that
t-prot (the
TOFU protection script) does a much better job, and is available as
Debian packages. The concept behind
fullquottel (by Philipp Spitzer and Gregor Herrmann) is more comparable to my own, though contrary to
fullquoteremover,
fullquottel is written in C++, and it comes with documentation.
Lucio Chiappetti's
approach uses procmail and awk just like mine but also removes HTML attachments.
Miscellaneous
-
netstat.php: A simple script to show online status of hosts and services
mysigchk.bat: A Windows batch file to check the version of programs
