  • Nagrestconf README – What is Nagrestconf?
    Nagrestconf is a REST interface and configuration GUI for Nagios.
    Nagrestconf is written in Bash and PHP.

  • Oracle Linux: A better alternative to CentOS – We firmly believe that Oracle Linux is the best Linux distribution on the market today. It's reliable, it's affordable, it's 100% compatible with your existing applications, and it gives you access to some of the most cutting-edge innovations in Linux like Ksplice and dtrace.

    But if you're here, you're a CentOS user. Which means that you don't pay for a distribution at all, for at least some of your systems. So even if we made the best paid distribution in the world (and we think we do), we can't actually get it to you… or can we?

    We're putting Oracle Linux in your hands by doing two things:

    We've made the Oracle Linux software available free of charge
    We've created a simple script to switch your CentOS systems to Oracle Linux
    We think you'll like what you find, and we'd love for you to give it a try.

  • configure time service on AIX host – Waldemar Mark Duszyk – First, you have to decide/select the appropriate devices to be your time providers. It could be one or more “official/public” time servers or maybe your routers. When you decide what these servers are you should validate that they deliver what you need and that you are (your host) is capable to receive and use what is delivered.

  • Generate large amount of test data « my two cents – I’m using the dictionary on linux systems to generate test data. The shell script below generates test data for MySQL, but similar concepts can be used for other database systems as well.
  • JQueryin | Switching Apache from Prefork to Worker MPM in RHEL / CentOS 5.x / Fedora 13 – I’m going to outline the process of switching from Apache’s default installation of MPM Prefork to that of MPM Worker. I will also be covering the proper installation of FastCGI (mod_fcgid) to further improve your server performance. This guide is ideally intended for individuals running on low-memory VPS servers as memory consumption will likely be far lower with the Worker MPM because it spawns threads as opposed to forking child processes. If you’re intentionally reading this article, you’re probably aware of the performance benefits gained.
  • Free PDF Reader – Sumatra PDF – Sumatra PDF is a free PDF, eBook (ePub, Mobi), XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR) reader for Windows.
