I was trying to delete a folder which tons of files and the rm command was giving me an error,
luckly the almighty find command did the job for me 
-bash-3.2# ls -1 | wc -l
54999
Wow that’s a lot of files!
-bash-3.2# rm *
-bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
Yikes! Let’s try the find alternative
-bash-3.2# find . -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
-bash-3.2# ls -1 | wc -l
0
Great
Hi there!
Long time no post so I am posting this simple howto to show you how to forward a port with IPTables on Linux. This come up because I installed Zenoss on a server and the default port is 8080 and I don’t want to use it so I forwarded the port 80 to the port 8080 on the same machine.
The command to do this is:
iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT \
--to-ports 8080
Cheers!
Hi,
If you are using alestic Ubuntu AMIs for AWS/EC2 the timezone is UTC by default, I had to change that to GMT for a customer here is a way to do it automatically in your build script or without human intervention:
echo “Etc/GMT” | tee /etc/timezone
dpkg-reconfigure –frontend noninteractive tzdata
Note: The –frontend option has two – in front
You can check more timezones at the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Hope it helps you!
Cheers!
