Data Visualizing with Google

If you ever have to visualize data in a fast and good looking way I suggest trying Google Chart, I've used it several times  and it's really really easy to use, if you know some basic JavaScript you are good to go, but even if you have no experience with code it doesn't matter it has great documentation.

Droping Dropbox

                                              

Sparkleshare is a dropbox kind software for synchronizing your files. Even though I don't use dropbox I know so many of my friends use it, the advantages of Sparkleshare is that you can install it on your server and you can have TBs of data. Also one cool feature I like to point out that it uses git version control so if you accidentally have removed something or did a change to a file you could easily go back.

Bash for-loop renaming special characters from a list of files

This shows how AWESOME bash is

i=1; for f in ./*.doc; do printf -v num %05d $((i++)); mv "$f" $num.doc; done

A for-loop that iterates all files ending with .doc in the current dir. It uses the printf command to generate a five-digit, zero-padded, incrementing number, then uses the mv command to rename from old name to XXXXX.doc, where XXXXX is the 5-digit number.

Stop Alfresco

:~/alfresco-4.0.d-1$ ./ctlscript.sh stop

/home/ardian/alfresco-4.0.d-1/apache-tomcat/scripts/ctl.sh : tomcat not running

/home/ardian/alfresco-4.0.d-1/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql stopped

Check if alfresco is running

ardian@arbk-share:~/alfresco-4.0.d-1$ ps -ef | grep alfresco

ardian   18815 18168  0 11:06 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --color=auto alfresco

locate where the alfresco-mmt-2.1.jar is usually its under alfresco install dir in the bin/ 

For me its /alfresco-4.0.d-1/apps/alfresco

java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar install ~/alfresco-bulk-filesystem-import-1.1-ALF40.amp ~/alfresco-4.0.d-1/apache-tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war

list the modules

java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar list ~/alfresco-4.0.d-1/apache-tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war
