# apt-cache search xsane

Make sure you have the latest java from oracle

# java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

Make a diretory for the server
# mkdir /opt/minecraft

Download minecraft jar
# cd /opt/minecraft && wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.8.1/minecraft_server.1.8.1.jar

Run the server for the first time, it will create its settings file and ask you to accept the eula
# java -Xms32M -Xmx512M -jar /opt/minecraft/minecraft_server.1.8.1.jar nogui

Quit by issuing ctrl-c and then edit eula.txt,set eula=true

Install a module

# puppet module install AlexCline-fstab

Make sure all nodes have ntp and are in sync:

# ntpq -pn

Install packages in the puppet server:

# apt-get install facter puppet puppetmaster

Install packages in the puppet clients:

# apt-get install facter puppet

Stop and start puppet in puppet server:

# service puppetmaster stop && service puppetmaster start && service puppetmaster status

Add server section in each puppet client /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
prerun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre
postrun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post
certificate_revocation = false
[agent]
server = aspireone

List and sign the client cert requests in the puppet master server:

# puppet cert list && puppet cert sign d510.lan && puppet cert sign d610.lan

In case the certs get messed up… in the master server:

 # puppet cert sign -all && puppet cert clean --all 

And in the agent servers:

 # rm -rf /var/lib/puppet/ssl/* && puppet agent --no-daemonize --server aspireone --onetime --verbose && puppet agent --test

# echo 'enabled=0' >> /etc/default/apport

Add package repository to 2 nodes

# add-apt-repository ppa:semiosis/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.5 && apt-get update

Install package

# apt-get install glusterfs-server

Join peers into cluster (where “d510” and “d610” are 2 server names known to each other either by dns or /etc/hosts)

# gluster peer probe d510
# gluster peer probe d610

Create a volume and start it

# gluster volume create vol1 replica 2 transport tcp d510:/gluster-storage d610:/gluster-storage force
# gluster volume start vol1

Check volume status

# gluster volume info all

Check peer status

# gluster peer status

Mount a glusterfs volume in a glusterfs client server

# mount -t glusterfs d510:/vol1 /glustermount

Remove a volume

# gluster volume stop volume1 && gluster volume delete volume1

Remove a node (server) from gluster

# gluster peer detach aspireone

Install a gluster client

#apt-get install glusterfs-client

Remove a brick from a volume with 3 bricks, telling gluster we will now have only 2 replicas:

gluster volume remove-brick replica 2 volume1 aspireone:/gluster-storage

A typical entry in /etc/fstab for a client gluster fs is

 d510:/vol1 /glustermount glusterfs defaults 0 0 

You could use this script snoopdcp.sh, usage is like this:

# ./snoopdcp.sh nxge1

The script goes like this:

#!/bin/bash

Interface=$1

if [[ -z "$Interface" ]]
then
  echo "[FATAL]Usage $0 "
  exit 1
fi


#snoopfile=$(mktemp /tmp/snoopy.XXXX)
snoopfile=/tmp/snoopy.XXXX.$$

rm -f -- $snoopfile

while  [[ -n "$instr" ]]
do
  typ=`echo $instr | cut -b1-4`
  lhex=`echo $instr | cut -b5-8`
  length=$(echo "ibase=16; $lhex*2" | bc)
  next=$(echo "ibase=16; $lhex*2+1" | bc)
  if [ $length -gt 8 ]
  then
    texthex=`echo $instr | cut -b9-$length`
  else

Start the webserver

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

If you want to restart it:

sudo launchctl stop -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

sudo launchctl start -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

Documents are in:

/Library/WebServer/Documents

Configuration is in:

I automated a twitter update from a random fortune quote, using python and the tweepy library.
First i installed tweepy

# pip install tweepy

Then, created /opt/bin/tweepy

#!/opt/bin/python
import tweepy, sys, commands
quote=commands.getoutput("/opt/bin/fortune")
consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret = "xxxxxx", "xxxx", "xxx", "xxx"
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
#print "Successfully logged in as " + api.me().name + "."
api.update_status(quote)

And.. that’s it!. As easy as 1..2..
