List only directories on the command-line or in your scripts.

mariusvw — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:53:03 +0000

Here you have some different ways of showing only the directories on a path you specify.
This can be used in different other languages such as PHP with shell_exec for example.
ls -l /shares/ | grep "^d" | awk '{ print $9 }' find /shares/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | sed 's/.\///g' find /shares/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | perl -pi -e 's/.\///g' find /shares/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | grep -v '^\./\.'

I hope you find them useful on some way
Of course comments are more than welcome!

Using fstab to automatically mount samba drives

mariusvw — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:10:01 +0000

Using fstab to automatically mount samba drives from for example a WD ShareStore drive with CIFS and SMB share support.

My configuration runs on FreeBSD 7.

First put your password information into a special tiny file /etc/nsmb.conf
[SERVER] addr=192.168.1.5


[SERVER:USER1]

password=PASS1

[SERVER:USER2] password=PASS2

Next you want to add these to /etc/fstab to auto mount:
# Mount shares //server@user1/administration /mnt/server/downloads smbfs rw,auto 0 0 //server@user1/communicatie /mnt/server/documents smbfs rw,auto 0 0 //server@user2/creative /mnt/server/music smbfs rw,auto 0 0

I hope this helps you out with easy mounting it

Easy replace php short open tags with long php open tags.

mariusvw — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:36:38 +0000

I wrote a quite simple script to fix short open tags to long open tags.

This script is compatible with CakePHP 1.1 and 1.2, on request

Have fun using it!

I suggest saving this file to /usr/local/bin/php_fix_short_open_tag
#!/bin/sh # Written by Marius van Witzenburg


path="."

if [ ! -z "$1" ] && [ -d "$1" ]

then

    path="$1"

elif [ ! -z "$1" ]

then

    echo "Invalid path defined, using default."

fi
echo "Searching for php short open tags..."

echo "Starting path: $path"

find $path -name '*.php' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/< \?=/<\?php echo /g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.php' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.php' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?phpphp/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.ctp' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?=/<\?php echo /g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.ctp' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.ctp' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?phpphp/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.inc' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?=/<\?php echo /g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.inc' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.inc' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?phpphp/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.thtml' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?=/<\?php echo /g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.thtml' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

find $path -name '*.thtml' -type f -exec perl -i -wpe 's/<\?phpphp/<\?php/g' '{}' \;

echo 'Done!'

Shellproxy, an easy tool to run shell commands from PHP or other languages.

mariusvw — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:53:02 +0000

This is a simple script that runs a shell command from PHP with the function system().
It sometimes happens that a command doesn’t close the stdin or stdout, resulting the system() function to halt and wait for it to finish…
This causes PHP to reach the 30 second time limit and kill the script.

This script runs it in the background and you could make your commands send their output to a log file and still having full control.

Read the code below how to use it.

You can compile it by placing the code into ’shellproxy.c’ and then compile it with the following command:

gcc -o shellproxy shellproxy.c

I hope this is something useful for you as it was for me.

#include #include #include


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    char command[1024];

    int t;
    if (argc == 1) {

        printf("\nShell Proxy\n");

        printf("By Marius van Witzenburg \n\n");

        printf("You will mostly use this program from PHP or any other\n");

        printf("webscripting language to background run programs\n\n");

        printf("Usage:\n");

        printf("- CLI:\n");

        printf("shellproxy \" \"\n");

        printf("shellproxy \"  > redirect.txt\"\n");

        printf("- PHP:\n");

        printf("system('shellproxy \"  &\"');\n");

        printf("system('shellproxy \"  > redirect.txt\"');\n\n");

    }
    command[0] = 0;
    for (t = 1; t < argc; t++) {

        strcat(command, argv[t]);

        strcat(command, " ");

    }
    fclose(stdin);

    fclose(stdout);

    fclose(stderr);

system(command); }

It would be nice if you keep my name mentioned into this code if you use it.

Use a sausage as stylus for your iPhone touch screen. (How sick is that?)

mariusvw — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 10:33:14 +0000

In life I noticed that people use the most weird things to ‘invent’ something new…

In the following post and movie you can read and see how people use a sausage instead of their fingers, cause they use gloves the touch screen doesn’t work… This solves that problem… But on the other hand it raises another problem, we have to kill animals to make sausages to use as a stylus for an iPhone gadget? How sick is that…

Here you can see how they are used as drumsticks…
