But of course, you don’t want to be typing all that every time you want to update your twitter status. So I found this website which has a executable twitter bash script.

Replace the user and password with your twitter user id and password. Now save the text to a file called ‘twitter‘ and give the file execute permission. Put this file in any folder in your path. If you want to use this script everywhere on the server make sure it’s located in /usr/local/bin or ~/bin. If you are a user on the server, you may just create the file in your ~/user folder.

Now, how to use the script?

If you have created the twitter file in /usr/local/bin or ~/bin you may use this command anywhere you are in the server.

For best results, enclose the message within quotes. This will prevent problems when using wild card characters like ‘?’

And if have created the twitter file in your ~/user directory, make sure you are in the same folder as the file and then you may use this command.

Not working?

Did you make sure the file has executable rights?

For example:

Output:

This example search for anything above 50MB.

This example search for anything above 100MB.

This example search for anything above 1000MB.

Modify your search changing the digit between the “+” and “M”.. Make sense right?

The following code will create a full backup of your entire server. Excluding, /media, /proc and /var/spool/squid you might want to add or delete some excludes. Like /mnt, most servers mount devices in that folder. You need to exclude these as well. Also, You need to make sure you are creating your backup in a excluded folder/area. I make my backups in a mounted 30GB HD Device located in /media which is excluded.

If you only want to make a Backup from your /home and /root directory (which are probably the most important) just use this command:

Hope it works for you like it did for me, if you have any questions regarding to this post, please leave a comment so others can read it too.

If you already have them installed just ignore the following step.

Step 2. We can easily install the three packages using DAG Repo. We need to activate it though.

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d

And insert

When /etc/yum.repos.d is updated. Simply install the packages using yum.

If you have any lib problems please read here more about it.

Step 3. If you are a pro command line user, type the following commands to convert file1.avi fille2.avi to DVD format (if you have only one .avi file, then just skip following command):

Step 4. Now run the movie encoder to create out.avi from yourname.avi (option -ovc and -oac sets no encoding, just stream copy.)

Step 5. Next run FFmpeg Video Converter to set aspect ratio, ntsc/pal dvd television standard etc:

For USA

For Europe

Step 6. At a high level, a DVD is a collection of menus and titles. Conceptually, a menu contains buttons which can be assigned actions and provides a list of choices to the end user, while a title contains the main content of the DVD. However, in reality many of the features available in menus (including buttons, pausing, and looping) are also available in titles. Use dvdauthor assembles multiple mpeg program streams into a suitable DVD file system. You should see DVD file system in DVD directory:

Step 7. Create the table of contents file instead of a titleset:

Step 8. Now your all set, the DVD is done. But what you see is that the DVD files are all loose in the folder. So what we want to do is make a .ISO (Image) of the dvd. So it’s ready to burn. What we need for that is the RPM mkisofs. We can easily install that, because we have activated the DAG Repo. So install the mkisofs package using yum.

Step 9. Now you have installed mkisofs, we can create .ISO files using this command.

Step 10. Now your DVD is done. I hope this tutorial has helped you and may help others. We finish with burning the DVD onto an empty DVD.

1. First, make sure you have installed the package “Lame” (Should be easy to find @ google.com for any Linux OS)

2. Download THIS bash script and move it to the folder where the .flac files are stored.

3. Give “flac2mp3.sh” 755 rights. (chmod 755 flac2mp3.sh)

4. OK — we are in the folder where the .flac files are stored.. We have copied or moved the bash script we need to the same folder.. So now we can start converting. (See picture)

5. Start the script to convert your .flac files to .mp3  (./flac2mp3.sh)

6. You can see the .flac files getting converted to .mp3 — All .flac files will be converted in that folder.

7. When converting is done, you’ll see that the .flac files are still there. I recommend you to check if the .mp3 files work and then remove all the .flac files. (rm -f *.flac)

8. Done. All your .flac files are just converted to .mp3

Have fun & Please leave your thoughts in a comment!

This one worked pretty good. But I was not satisfied yet, I searched the web for a .m4b to .mp3 converter in SSH/Terminal and I found one. Here some steps.

1. First you need to download and install the “Faad” package and the “Lame” package on your server. (Easy to find @ google.com)

2. Make sure you have “python” on your server. (if not — yum install python)

3. Now, download the plugin to your server — wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/22008/scripts/m4b2mp3.py

4. Start the script and it will convert your .m4b files to .mp3.

How to use the script?
#python m4b2mp3.py
– Decodes m4b files in current directory and sub directories and consequently encodes the output to mp3.

#python m4b2mp3.py -d /media/audiobook/Bourne\ Supremacy
– Decodes m4b files in supplied directory and sub directories and encodes the output to mp3.
