Bash – Variable indirection – Using variable contents as a(nother) variable name
ByEtzion 20/03/2007

This was a tricky action. Assume I have a list of variables, obtained by an external source: var1=a var2=b var3=c I cannot use loop and in it the phrase ${var$i} (where i is the integer counter). It just doesn’t work. I used this instead to assign the values to an array: var[$i]=$(eval echo "${var${i}}") That…

XenServer get VM by MAC
ByEtzion 05/12/201206/08/2020

Using the GUI, it could be somewhat complex identifying a VM based on its MAC address. There are several solutions on the network using PowerShell, but I will demonstrate it using a simple bash script, below. Save, make executable, and run. Enjoy #!/bin/bash if [ -z “$1” ] then echo “Requires parameter – MAC…

Allow Postfix to call custom scripts by using mail aliases
ByEtzion 11/01/202411/01/2024

Using custom mail aliases to run scripts is an existing practice. However, on modern Linux distributions it is blocked as a security risk. Following Postfix common guidelines do not allow for it to run the scripts. It reports the script as called, however – it does actually nothing. This has been verified on Oracle Linux…

Ad-hoc remote backups to tape
ByEtzion 19/07/2009

I have a nice SCSI tape connected to a single server. This allows for on-demand backups, with the hope (and seldom, with the established knowledge) that I can recover the data I have there. Old computers, decommissioned computers and systems I wish to erase and reuse are seldom backed-up, just because of the effort in…

MySQL permissions for LVM Snapshots
ByEtzion 23/10/2008

aking LVM snapshots as a mean of backing up MySQL is rather simple, as can be described here. However, if you are into security, you would strive to grant minimal permissions for the action to the MySQL user. Per MySQL Documentation, the required privileges is “RELOAD”. That should be enough, granted on *.*, of course….

Oracle VM and network bonding
ByEtzion 09/05/201011/07/2015

Oracle VM, out of the box, does not allow network bonds. An excellent guide on how to enable bonding which I have partially followed, has convinced me that changing the relevant scripts would be better. That I have done, and reported in this wiki post. To sum things up – configure bonding/VLAN tagging as you…

  With pleasure 🙂
  This is the reason I have created nabrss. I should add more functionality into it, but I will do so as soon as I bother re-activating the nabaztags.
