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

Great
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!
Hi folks,
In this quick post I want to share with you a great script to easily enable SpamAssassin and SpamBox for all the accounts in your cPanel server. I was surprised that this option is not available at cPanel so I started to Google around and found this handy script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home
for user in `ls /var/cpanel/users`
do
test ! -d $user && continue
touch $user/.spamassassinenable $user/.spamassassinboxenable
chown $user:$user $user/.spamassassinenable $user/.spamassassinboxenable
echo $user complete
done
All credits goes to brianoz user of cPanel forums. (I just changed the chown line to include the : instead of the .)
If you want to check the thread in that forum you can check this link: http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/spamassassin-global-enable-anyone-57111.html#post284327
I hope it helps you like it did it for me.
Take care!
