Create the ’service’ command on other linuxes
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Nslookup for Linux: dig
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007I’ve recently found out on my Mac, that nslookup will be obsolete; and we need to use dig instead of this well known tool. If you want to install it on Fedora, just type:
apt-get install bind-utils
Mount an OS X shared folder on Linux

OS X kexts knowhow
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007I have some Mac OS Xs around me (Intel and PPC ones as well), and usually I find the opportunity to create a nice kernel panic :] But I always forget how to list the already loaded kernel extensions:
kextstat
To load a kernel extension, type:
kextload /System/Library/SomeCool.kext
to unload a kext, type:
kextunload /System/Library/SomeCool.kext
If you want to replace any kexts, just simply copy over as root (i usually do it in midnight commander) and after say:
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/SomeCool.kext
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/SomeCool.kext
and clear the kernel cache:
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
Menu Editor for Firefox - get rid of boring contectual (right click) menu items
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007I always wondered how to hide the unused menu items in Firefox - here’s the solution: download Menu Editor from Mozdev.org!
MySql server: ssh port forward and localhost
Friday, February 2nd, 2007I needed to work with a MySql server which was behind a firewall, and only the port for SSH was open. Of course, in this case, I need to use the portforward feature:ssh example.com -l myusername -L:3306:localhost:3306
However, if I type ‘localhost’ in MySql Query Browser, it tries to connect via socket - of course which is not avaliable. I tried my local IP and the outer one (I’m behind NAT), but nothing worked… then came the idea: use localhost’s IP address! So in the connection window, I typed: 127.0.0.1, and voila, the window opened listing all tables…:)
