docker pull ubuntu:14.04
docker run -i -t ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
docker attach mycontainername
docker start mycontainername
docker stop mycontainername
sudo docker export mycontainername | gzip -9 > mycontainername.tar.gz

To detach after attach, use Ctrl + p + q (maintain Ctrl, then type p then q).

To set a specific ip address to a container on the docker bridge :

sudo docker run --name=cont1 --privileged -i -t ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash

sudo docker start cont1
sudo docker exec cont1 ifconfig eth0 172.17.0.50 netmask 255.255.0.0 up

To set mac address, use :

--mac-address=92:20:de:b0:6b:61

This is a home made script I made to analyse generically logs. It regroups lines by similarity considering a ratio given by the user and save results. It is in beta, use it with precaution.

    # Generic Log analyser v1.0
    # Zaft
 
    # To use this script, set the logfile name and location,
    # and adjust 'match' variable between 0 and 1 (0.7 and 0.8 are good)
 
    logfile = input('Enter log file position (ex "/var/log/auth.log", do not forget brackets) :\n')
    #logfile="log4"
    match = input('Enter sensibility value (match factor), between 0 and 1 (0.6 to 0.7 is a good starting range of values) :\n')
    #match=0.7

To display the instruction stack presently used by a process (let's say 23478), very usefull to detect dead lock in parallel computation :

gstack 23478

Unzip an archive file :

*.tar.bz2 : tar xvjf
*.tar.gz : tar xvzf
*.tar.xz : tar Jxvf
*.bz2 : bunzip2 or bzip2 -dk
*.rar : unrar x
*.gz : gunzip
*.tar : tar xvf
*.tbz2 : tar xvjf
*.tgz : tar xvzf
*.zip : unzip
*.Z : uncompress
*.7z : 7z x

The -dk prevent the command to removing the original file after extraction. If you want it to be deleted, use only -d.

Zip to a tar.gz file :

tar cvzf file.tar.gz myfoldertozip

• Find biggest directories and files (sorting and good display) :

du -k | sort -n | perl -ne 'if ( /^(\d+)\s+(.*$)/){$l=log($1+.1);$m=int($l/log(1024)); printf  ("%6.1f\t%s\t%25s  %s\n",($1/(2**(10*$m))),(("K","M","G","T","P")[$m]),"*"x (1.5*$l),$2);}'

• Find 10 latest modified files inside a directory :

Without taking files with spaces inside names (faster)

find $1 -type f | xargs stat --format '%Y :%y %n' | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

With spaces :

find $1 -type f -exec stat --format '%Y :%y %n' {} \; | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

• Replace a string in multiple files :

Want to replace /opt/softs by /newopt/newsofts in all files in this repertory :

sed -i 's/\/opt\/softs/\/newopt\/newsofts/g' *

http://www.debian-administration.org/article/28/Making_scripts_run_at_boot_time_with_Debian

msiexec /i 7z920-x64.msi

mount -o loop /home/gg/my.iso /cdrom

This modification is important, especialy if you use Virtual Machines. Edit file /etc/sysctl.conf and add :

# Decrease swap usage to a reasonable level
vm.swappiness=10
# Improve cache management
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50

At end of file. Reboot.
