Getting Things Done with Thunderbird

Labels

Thunderbird allows you to apply labels (similar to Outlook flags as mentioned in Using Flags and Rules in Outlook) to emails. Unfortunately only one flag can be assigned to a message at a time (is that a problem or am I trying to be overly complicated?) but the labelled messages are easy to see if you have a full inbox (which you don't of course, do you?)

To access the labels go to Tools > Options > Display > Labels (tab)

I have the following labels set up:

• Action


• Waiting For


• Defer


• Archive


• Delete

Unfortunately it would appear that 5 labels are the maximum you can have at the moment, but in terms of GTD this is enough. The only reason I could see you needing more is if you wanted specific project labels or one for personal messages, but then you could always get rid of the "Archive" and "Delete" options.

How can I count the number of occurrences of a substring within a string?

If you want a count of a certain character (X) within a string, you can use the tr/// function like so:

    $string="ThisXlineXhasXsomeXx'sXinXit":
    $count = ($string =~ tr/X//);
    print "There are $count Xs in the string";

This is fine if you are just looking for a single character. However, if you are trying to count multiple character substrings within a larger string, tr/// won't work. What you can do is wrap a while loop around a pattern match.

    $string="-9 55 48 -2 23 -76 4 14 -44";
    $count++ while $string =~ /-\d+/g;
    print "There are $count negative numbers in the string";

[SOLVED] Use Firefox location bar as search box

"By default in Firefox you can type one or more keywords in the location bar. Firefox recognizes that it is not an URL and uses I'm Lucky search with Google search engine for version < 2; it uses Google search by name for Firefox version 2 and above. Here is how you can change it.

1. Type about:config in the location bar and press Enter.

2. Type keyword.URL in filter and double-click on the displayed line. You will note that the default value is something like:

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

3. Change it to the query string of another search engine of your choice. For example if you want to use our blog results for your default search then you should replace it with:

http://blog.taragana.com/index.php?s=

5. Hit OK and close the browser tab.

You are done. Now you can use your favorite search engine to search using your location bar, instead of Google." blog.taragana.com

[SOLVED] Mozilla Thunderbird exceeded maximum number of connections to IMAP server

"When looking at emails in several IMAP folders one after the other in Mozilla Thunderbird, I got the following error message and was unable to view that folder and the emails in it.

Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialog to reduce the number of cached connections.

You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server



This is normally due to the configuration of the IMAP server (such as Courier-IMAP) which may be configured to only allow a certain number of connections per IP address. Fortunately you can usually solve the issue in Thunderbird by changing the number of cached connections in the advanced settings.



From the menu, select "Tools" and then "Account Settings". This looks similar to the screenshot below:

mozilla thunderbird account settings



Next, select "Server Settings" under the appropriate account (at the very least you'll have one account, plus the local folders), and click the "Advanced" button, as shown in the screenshot above. This will show a new configuration dialog like the one show in the screenshot below:

setting the maximum number of server connections to cache



To fix the problem, change the "Maximum number of server connections to cache" value. The default setting is 5. Changing it to 3 or less worked for me, but setting it to 1 should work in all cases and make the error go away." electrictoolbox.com

Android ImageLoader - load images sequencially in the background

"A few days ago I started to learn android… and it’s been a fairly smooth transition from flash. Although I have to say, as flash developers we’re just spoiled. We take for granted all the background stuff flash does for us to make coding that much easier.

One of those things is Loading images. in flash we have the Loader class which makes loading images very easy.

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

loader.load(new URLRequest("myimage.jpg"));

In java/android it takes a few more lines

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL("myimage.jpg").openConnection();

conn.setDoInput(true);

conn.connect();

InputStream inStream = conn.getInputStream();

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inStream);

inStream.close();

conn.disconnect();

The code above runs in the same thread so you’ll lock up your UI until the image has finish loading. Adding the Threading code adds quite a bit more code. So I decided to create an ImageLoader class to make my life just a little easier. Now I can load an image to an ImageView with one line of code.

ImageLoader.getInstance().load(myImageView, "myimage.jpg", true);

The last parameter tells the ImageLoader class to cache that the bitmap.

The ImageLoader class loads images sequentially so you don’t slow your mobile device down to a crawl. To cancel Loading simply call clearQueue() and to clear the cache call clearCache()

Here’s the class

Using a Horizontal Progress Bar in Android

"I was working on my Android downloader application yesterday, when I ran into a bit of a snag. I wanted to display a list of downloads (similar to the Firefox downloads window). Each item in the list should show the file name and a horizontal progress bar. I started to implement this, and several hours later stumbled upon the archaic solution. I wanted to share this, both to help anybody who may be trying to do something similar, and also to illustrate how the lack of good documentation is hurting aspiring Android developers.

I thought that I could put a ProgressBar instance in my xml, set it to be indeterminate, give it a max and a value, and be done. However, it wasn't nearly that easy. After a few hours of hunting on Google and the Android Groups, I stumbled upon the solution in an online preview of The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development. In short, I had to set the following on my ProgressBar's XML:

style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"

WTF?

" http://bytecrafter.blogspot.com/2008/12/using-horizontal-progress-bar-in.html

to get horizontal progressbar just put

<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/ProgressBar01"
android:indeterminateOnly="false"
android:progressDrawable="@android:drawable/progress_horizontal"
android:indeterminateDrawable="@android:drawable/progress_indeterminate_horizontal"
android:minHeight="20dip"
android:maxHeight="20dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></ProgressBar>

yGuard - Java™ Bytecode Obfuscator and Shrinker

"yGuard is a free Java bytecode obfuscator and shrinker that improves your software deployment by prohibiting unwanted access to your source code and drastically shrinking the processed Jar files at the same time.
Features

* yGuard is absolutely free! Contrary to expensive commercial products of our competitors providing the same amount of features as yGuard or less, yGuard is free.
* yGuard is an Ant task! Existing tools use proprietary mechanisms to invoke or configure the task of obfuscation. As an Ant task, yGuard can be seamlessly integrated into your deployment process using XML syntax.
* yGuard provides highly configurable name obfuscation that will protect your intellectual property from reverse engineering.
* yGuard provides elaborate code shrinking functionality through dependency analysis.
* yGuard 2.0 offers a new powerful and easy to use XML syntax that allows the effortless definition of code entities e.g. based on pattern sets or inheritance.
* yGuard will correctly obfuscate and shrink programs that depend on external libraries.
* yGuard can automatically rename and adjust textual resource files according to the obfuscation scheme.
* yGuard can scramble and unscramble or shrink line number table information. This means that debugging an obfuscated program is still achievable without weakening the obfuscation.
* yGuard can create patches! During each obfuscation run, yGuard produces XML output that can be used to create subsequent patches of already deployed obfuscated applications.
* yGuard supports JDK 1.5 features and correctly obfuscates classes compiled with its new features. " yworks.com

How do I pass parameters to a batch file?

"A. When you call a batch file, you can enter data after the command that the batch file refers to as %1, %2, etc. For example, in the batch file hello.bat, the following command
@echo hello %1 boy

would output
hello john boy

if you called it as
hello john

The following table outlines how you can modify the passed parameter.
Parameter Description
%1 The normal parameter.
%~f1 Expands %1 to a fully qualified pathname. If you passed only a filename from the current directory, this parameter would also expand to the drive or directory.
%~d1 Extracts the drive letter from %1.
%~p1 Extracts the path from %1.
%~n1 Extracts the filename from %1, without the extension.
%~x1 Extracts the file extension from %1.
%~s1 Changes the n and x options’ meanings to reference the short name. You would therefore use %~sn1 for the short filename and %~sx1 for the short extension.

The following table shows how you can combine some of the parameters.
Parameter Description
%~dp1 Expands %1 to a drive letter and path only.
%~sp1 For short path.
%~nx1 Expands %1 to a filename and extension only.

To see all the parameters in action, put them into the batch file testing.bat, as follows.
@echo off
echo fully qualified name %~f1
echo drive %~d1
echo path %~p1
echo filename %~n1
echo file extension %~x1
echo short filename %~sn1
echo short file extension %~sx1
echo drive and directory %~dp1
echo filename and extension %~nx1

Then, run the file with a long filename. For example, the batch file run on the file c:\temp\longfilename.long would produce the following output.
fully qualified name c:\TEMP\longfilename.long
drive c:
path \TEMP\
filename longfilename
file extension .long
short filename LONGFI~1
short file extension .LON
drive and directory c:\TEMP\
filename and extension longfilename.long

This method also works on the second and subsequent parameters. You simply substitute the parameter for 1 (e.g., %~f2 for the second parameter’s fully qualified path name).

The %0 parameter in a batch file holds information about the file when it runs and indicates which command extensions you can use with the file (e.g., %~dp0 gives the batch file’s drive and path)." windowsitpro.com

The first segment of the line is the directory where you want the pull to exist. The last segment is the svn repo URL to pull. You can have an optional middle argument indicating the revision to use. Some examples:
o Pull framework repo from head:

framework http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk

o Pull framework repo from revision 2616:

framework -r2616 http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk

* After saving and exiting, update the repo:

svn up

* Commit changes:

svn commit

One thing to note: any directory you specify for an svn:externals checkout should not already exist in your repository. If it does, you will get an error like the following:

svn: Working copy 'sharedproject' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks

After that add default username for svn host (because we do not have username of external repository)

User <svnuser>

• Windows - set default username for <svn-host> via putty

I got an error saying "This client is too old to work with working copy '...' ". How can I fix it without upgrading Subversion?

"Sometimes the working copy metadata format changes incompatibly between minor releases. For example, say you have a working copy created with Subversion 1.4.4, but one day you decide to try out Subversion 1.5.0. Afterwards, you attempt to switch back to 1.4.4, but it doesn't work — it just gives the above error.

This is because 1.5.0 upgraded your working copy format to support some new features (in this case, changelists, the keep-local flag, and variable-depth directories). Although 1.4.4 doesn't know anything about these new features, it can at least recognize that the working copy format has been upgraded to something higher than it can handle.

1.5.0 upgraded the working copy for a good reason: it realizes that 1.4.4 does not know about these new features, and that if 1.4.4 were to meddle with the working copy metadata now, important information might be lost, possibly causing corruption (see issue #2961, for example).

But this automatic upgrade behavior can be annoying, if you just want to try out a new release of Subversion without installing it permanently. For this reason, we distribute a script that can downgrade working copies when doing so is safe:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py

Run that script with the "--help" option to see how to use it. As future versions of Subversion are released, we will try to keep this FAQ entry up-to-date with potential downgrade scenarios and their implications." subversion.tigris.org

Open Source Keystroke Launcher

"Launchy is a free windows and linux utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.

Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!" launchy.net

Apache virtual hosts quick and easy

"Step 1: Creating the index pages

Like already mentioned before, we have to create subdirectory and page index files first. Suse normaly stores the web pages in the following directory:

/srv/www/htdocs

We will use the same directory but will create a subdirectory for every virtual host.

mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/server_port80
mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/server_port8090
mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/server_www
mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/server_www1

You can later store you content in this directories. Let’s just create a single file called index.html that contains a message about the type of the server. An example file could look like this:

This is my webserver working on
Port 80.
Linux-Tip.net

Please change the content to your needs and save a modified index file in every subdirectory.

Step 2: Setup IP based virtual host

Suse stores the vhost configuration files in the following directory:

/etc/apache2/vhosts.d

During the start-up process, Apache will automatically use all files located in this directory for the final configuration.

You can easily create new vhost configuration files by using the template like this:

cd /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/
cp vhost.template vhost-port80.conf

This will copy the default template and will create a configuration file that we will later use for our IP-based virtual host running on port 80. I recommend using vi to edit the file. Please open it like this:

vi vhost-port80.conf

As you can see, the file has everything you need to setup a virtual host, but also includes a lot of explanations and comments. To get a slim file please delete it.

Here are the lines you should change for your Apache configuration:


VirtualHost – set IP address and port here
ServerAdmin - your webmaster’s email adress
DocumentRoot – path to your web page contend (see step1)
ErrorLog - path to the error log file
CustomLog - path to the access log file
UseCanonicalName - leave it to off in this case
ScriptAlias – if you like to run cgi scripts on your web page, this is the location.

The file could look like this:




ServerAdmin webmaster@myserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
ServerName server.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/server_port80
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/server_port80.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_port80.log combined
HostnameLookups Off
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerSignature On
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/htdocs/server_port80/cgi-bin/"

AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all




If you like to run you web page on a different port, please use the following configuration file:


ServerAdmin webmaster@myserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
ServerName server.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/server_port8090
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/server_port8090.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_port8090.log combined
HostnameLookups Off
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerSignature On
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/htdocs/server_port8090/cgi-bin/"

AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



A web server normally listens on port 80. If you like to change this or to add port 8090, you have to hack the listen.conf file. Please see step 4 for more information.



Step 3: Setup a name-based virtual host

Create a new file using the default template similar to step2:

cd /etc/apache2/vhosts.d
cp vhost.template vhost-www.conf

Here are the important hacks you have to make:
ServerName – use name you would like to see in the URL
UseCanonicalName On

Remark:
With UseCanonicalName on Apache will use the ServerName and Port directives to construct the canonical name for the server. This name is used in
all self-referential URLs, and for the values of SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGIs.

If you have more IP addresses for your server or if you like to use different ports, please change the following line:


VirtualHost 192.168.33.101:80

The file could look like this:




ServerAdmin webmaster@myserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
ServerName www.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/server_www
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/server_www.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_www.log combined
HostnameLookups Off
UseCanonicalName On
ServerSignature On
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/htdocs/server_www/cgi-bin/"

AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all





Step 4: Hack the listen.conf file

The following file allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or ports.

Please change the following lines here:

Listen - add the port or ports on which you would like to run you web pages
NameVirtualHost - this directive tells Apache on which IP address and, optionally, which port to listen for requests by clients containing the domain name in the HTTP header. The first argument can be a fully qualified domain name, but it is recommended to use the IP address. The second argument is the port and is optional. By default, port 80 is used and is configured via the Listen directive.

The file could look like this:

Listen 80
Listen 8090



Listen 443



NameVirtualHost 192.168.33.101:80


To trouble shot you configuration, you should run the following command from the linux console:

tail –f /var/log/messages

Please do not forget the restart Apache after changing the configuration using the following commands (watch for errors):

service apache2 restart

or

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" linux-tip.net

Nagios - A Extensible Host and Service Monitoring

"7. Apache Security Preparation

Nagios has by default the authentication for the web interface activated.

That means after Nagios has been started and you try to access the web interface a login windows appears. Nagios has already a default user defined in the contacts.cfg (user: nagiosadmin) so we just have to create a apache password file where we store the password for it.

Do this with the following command and set the password to nagios:

# htpasswd2 -c /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Password: nagios

NOTE: LDAP can also be used for user authentication and requires just a view changes to the apache configuration. But the users still have to be defined in the contacts.cfg. LDAP is used just for verifying the password. I will cover this later.

NOTE: If you do not like to define every user in the contacts.cfg and security is not the case for you, you can modify the cgi.cfg and change all "authorized_for..." parameters to "authorized_for...=*". That will give all user that authenticate to the web server (or LDAP) all permissions even they do not exist in the contacts.cfg. After ny modification to the cgi.cfg restart Nagios.
8. Apache and Nagios Startup

So now all configurations are done and we can startup the applications.

During the Nagios installation an apache config file (nagios.conf) was placed in /etc/apache2/conf.d. So we first have to restart apache to activate that configuration.

# rcapache2 restart

After that we can start Nagios for the first time. In earlier version it was always a very good idea to do a configuration verify before restarting. Otherwise Nagios could be interrupted if there were errors in. In this new version now Nagios does this automatically when it is started or reloaded. If configuration errors were found the restart / reload operation is aborted and you get a information where the error is. Correct it and retry the operation.

As we use the default configuration and we made no mistakes Nagios should start up:

# /etc/init.d/nagios start

If you would like, add Nagios for automatic startup at system boot time:

# insserv nagios

9. Nagios Test

Now Nagios should be available at the following URL: http:///nagios

As you do have the authentication settings modified you should get an authentication window where you have to enter the user nagiosadmin with password nagios." novell.com

How to create a self-signed SSL Certificate

"Overview

The following is an extremely simplified view of how SSL is implemented and what part the certificate plays in the entire process.

Normal web traffic is sent unencrypted over the Internet. That is, anyone with access to the right tools can snoop all of that traffic. Obviously, this can lead to problems, especially where security and privacy is necessary, such as in credit card data and bank transactions. The Secure Socket Layer is used to encrypt the data stream between the web server and the web client (the browser).

SSL makes use of what is known as asymmetric cryptography, commonly referred to as public key cryptography (PKI). With public key cryptography, two keys are created, one public, one private. Anything encrypted with either key can only be decrypted with its corresponding key. Thus if a message or data stream were encrypted with the server's private key, it can be decrypted only using its corresponding public key, ensuring that the data only could have come from the server.

If SSL utilizes public key cryptography to encrypt the data stream traveling over the Internet, why is a certificate necessary? The technical answer to that question is that a certificate is not really necessary - the data is secure and cannot easily be decrypted by a third party. However, certificates do serve a crucial role in the communication process. The certificate, signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), ensures that the certificate holder is really who he claims to be. Without a trusted signed certificate, your data may be encrypted, however, the party you are communicating with may not be whom you think. Without certificates, impersonation attacks would be much more common.

Step 1: Generate a Private Key

The openssl toolkit is used to generate an RSA Private Key and CSR (Certificate Signing Request). It can also be used to generate self-signed certificates which can be used for testing purposes or internal usage.

The first step is to create your RSA Private Key. This key is a 1024 bit RSA key which is encrypted using Triple-DES and stored in a PEM format so that it is readable as ASCII text.

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
.........................................................++++++
........++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:

Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Once the private key is generated a Certificate Signing Request can be generated. The CSR is then used in one of two ways. Ideally, the CSR will be sent to a Certificate Authority, such as Thawte or Verisign who will verify the identity of the requestor and issue a signed certificate. The second option is to self-sign the CSR, which will be demonstrated in the next section.

During the generation of the CSR, you will be prompted for several pieces of information. These are the X.509 attributes of the certificate. One of the prompts will be for "Common Name (e.g., YOUR name)". It is important that this field be filled in with the fully qualified domain name of the server to be protected by SSL. If the website to be protected will be https://public.akadia.com, then enter public.akadia.com at this prompt. The command to generate the CSR is as follows:

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:New Jersey
Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:EastOrange
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Mycompany
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Mycompany.com
Email Address []:Jack@Mycompany.com
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key

One unfortunate side-effect of the pass-phrased private key is that Apache will ask for the pass-phrase each time the web server is started. Obviously this is not necessarily convenient as someone will not always be around to type in the pass-phrase, such as after a reboot or crash. mod_ssl includes the ability to use an external program in place of the built-in pass-phrase dialog, however, this is not necessarily the most secure option either. It is possible to remove the Triple-DES encryption from the key, thereby no longer needing to type in a pass-phrase. If the private key is no longer encrypted, it is critical that this file only be readable by the root user! If your system is ever compromised and a third party obtains your unencrypted private key, the corresponding certificate will need to be revoked. With that being said, use the following command to remove the pass-phrase from the key:

cp server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

The newly created server.key file has no more passphrase in it.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 745 Jun 29 12:19 server.csr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 891 Jun 29 13:22 server.key
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 963 Jun 29 13:22 server.key.org

Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

At this point you will need to generate a self-signed certificate because you either don't plan on having your certificate signed by a CA, or you wish to test your new SSL implementation while the CA is signing your certificate. This temporary certificate will generate an error in the client browser to the effect that the signing certificate authority is unknown and not trusted.

To generate a temporary certificate which is good for 365 days, issue the following command:

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Signature ok
subject=/C=US/ST=NewJersey/L=EastOrange/O=Mycompany Group/OU=IT/CN=Mycompanygroup/emailAddress=Jack@Mycompany.com

Getting Private key

Step 5: Installing the Private Key and Certificate

When Apache with mod_ssl is installed, it creates several directories in the Apache config directory. The location of this directory will differ depending on how Apache was compiled.

chmod 755 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
mv /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server1.crt
cp server.crt /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server1.crt
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt

chmod 755 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
mv /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server1.key
cp server.key /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server1.key
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

Step 6: Configuring SSL Enabled Virtual Hosts

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"

Step 7: Restart Apache and Test

InnoSetup - exclude files

"Specifies a list of patterns to exclude, separated by commas. This parameter cannot be combined with the external flag.

Patterns may include wildcard characters ("*" and "?"). Note that unlike the Source parameter, a simple Unix-style pattern matching routine is used for Excludes. Dots in the pattern are always significant, thus "*.*" will not exclude a file with no extension (instead, use just "*"). Also, question marks always match exactly one character, thus "?????" will not exclude files with names less than five characters long.

If a pattern starts with a backslash ("") it is matched against the start of a path name, otherwise it is matched against the end of a path name. Thus "foo" will only exclude a file named "foo" at the base of the tree. On the other hand, "foo" will exclude any file named "foo" anywhere in the tree.

The patterns may include backslashes. "foobar" will exclude both "foobar" and "subdirfoobar". "foobar" will only exclude "foobar".
Examples:

Source: "*"; Excludes: "*.~*"
Source: "*"; Excludes: "*.~*,Temp*"; Flags: recursesubdirs

Reloading profile - how to reload Unix profile

"Use the following command to reload a unix profile (/etc/profile, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile ...):
$ . ~/.profile
$ . /etc/profile

Notice: . (dot) is a command that originates from source command. On some unix flavours (FreeBSD 6 for example) source command works still:
$ source ~/.profile
$ source /etc/profile

.profile settings overwrite those in /etc/profile. You can also use .bash_profile in your home directory to customize your bash shell's profile.

Basically, if you need to load shell variables from any file just run the . (dot) command, followed by space and (the absolute path is necessary) the path to the file. (Be carefull what file you're loading variables from because you meight overwrite some important environment variables and your system could become unstable). " ivorde.ro

WORKED: Automated APPS to SD (EASY!!!!)

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all documents (chapters) have been added." computing.net

[SOLVED] Android: How to register an Android device without a sim or data plan

"When you start up the phone without a sim card, it goes into a locked screen that says "no sim card found", and you can't even get into the registration app. So the first step is to get around that screen. You have to connect to your phone with adb shell and get root access, and then type the following command:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"

And then reboot the phone. When it starts up again it will go into the registration screen instead of the locked "no sim card" screen.

This assumes that you have the sqlite3 binary on your phone. This binary is provided in RC30 v1.2. Alternatively, you could manually copy the binary to your phone with adb push, or put it on the sdcard and copy it to your phone. I can post a copy of just the sqlite3 binary if needed.

-----------

The second step is to enable and configure wifi, so that the registration process can connect to the google servers. In an

adb shell

session, type the following command:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

This doesn't have to have root access to work. It works fine with the "shell" user that adb on non-modded phones runs as.

That command will bring up the settings page on your phone. From there, you can enable wifi and connect to your wifi network, and then proceed with registration as per normal"

Auto Rotate for the Android Browser

"Installation Instructions (you must have root access):

* Download the updated Browser.apk
* Run the following from the command prompt to back up your current Browser file to your sdcard and install the new one:
o adb remount
o adb pull /system/app/Browser.apk BrowserBackup.apk
o adb push BrowserBackup.apk /sdcard
o adb shell rm /system/app/Browser.odex
o adb push Browser.apk /system/app" koushikdutta.com

WORKED: Rooting your G1

"On RC29 phones and lower, anything you type into your keyboard is also being run in a hidden console with root permissions. More information regarding that at the bottom of this post. But, to get root access, do the following:

Instructions:

1. Download recovery.img and copy it to your SD card (see the previous instructions on how to copy from your computer to your Phone's SD card).
2. Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.
3. All files must be on the root of your SD card.
4. Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.

5. After your phone starts up, at the home screen, hit the enter key twice, then type "telnetd" and hit enter again. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don't worry. Just type it.)
6. Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.
7. If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".
8. Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* cd sdcard
* flash_image recovery recovery.img
* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

Now you have root!" forum.xda-developers.com

Why should you root your Dream/G1?

" * You can install a full Linux distribution, like Debian.
* You can run applications that require root, like Screenshot and Auto Rotate your Browser and or any other application.
* You can install the latest Android build directly from the Android source tree.
* Customize your boot image.
* Create full backups of the state of your phone.
* Create custom ROMs.
* Install Applications to your SD Card to save space.
* Use your phone as a tether to connect your computer/laptop to the internet.
* Turn your phone into a wireless router that provides internet access.


Well, hopefully one of those reasons convinced you to get root access on your phone!" forum.xda-developers.com

HOW TO: downgrade, root and upgrade ANY G1/Dream (even Continental European)

"Requirements:
- Micro SD card formated FAT32 (128 MB to 2 GB), Sandisc cards may not work (but worked for me).
and
- Connected Windows Mobile device (application unlocked)


SD Card:
- Format recommended
Code:

format F: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096

(Replace F: with your SD card reader drive letter.)


TESTED, WORKING
1. Insret SD card to WM device and connect it do desktop. WM has to be application unlocked.
2. Download QMAT (http://revskills.de/pages/download.html)
3. Start QMAT and select Hardware Forensics -> Generate HTC Goldcard
4. Select Dream from the list of devices, Click "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" and then "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD".
5. Copy DREAIMG.NBH to the root of sd (UK - RC7 recommended for our DREA110)
6. Power off the G1, put the card inside, hold camera button and press power button
7. Press power button to start flashing
8. To apply HardSPL, root & upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
9. You don't need the GoldCard any more (HardSPL fixes it, you should be able to flash any image now). So format the SD once again or borrow to a friend to downgrade his G1. " forum.xda-developers.com

WORKED: Application unlocked WindowsMobile (WM) device

"1) Simply put the *.zip file with the regeditSTG.exe in it with ActiveSync into a folder on your phone (but not onto the memory card).
2) Unzip the file with the *.zip program that comes with your phone.
3) Now start regeditSTG.exe and change the following Registry Keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001001 = 2
-> Change the value data from 2 to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001005 = 16
-> Change the value data from 16 to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001017 = 128
-> Change the value data from 128 to 144

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> Add new value "0000101b": Dword = 1

After you have done all these steps close Regedit STG with the task manager (TaskMan) of your phone and reboot. That’s it.
Your phone is now totally application unlocked." robertpeloschek.blogspot.com

S-bit set on the user

"With Linux processes run under a user-ID. This gives them access to all resources (files etc...) that this user would have access to. There are 2 user IDs. The real user-ID and the effective user-ID. The effective user-ID is the one that determines the access to files. Save the following script under the name idinfo and make it executable (chmod 755 idinfo).


#!/bin/sh
#idinfo: Print user information
echo " effective user-ID:"
id -un
echo " real user-ID:"
id -unr
echo " group ID:"
id -gn

When you run the script you will see that the process that runs it gets your user-ID and your group-ID:

effective user-ID:
alice
real user-ID:
alice
group ID:
users

When Tux runs your idinfo program then he gets a similar output that shows the process now running under the ID of tux. The output of the program depends only on the user that runs it and not the one who owns the file.

For security reasons the s-bit works only when used on binaries (compiled code) and not on scripts (an exception are perl scripts). Therefore we create a C-program that will call our idinfo program:

/*suidtest.c*/
#include
#include
int main(){
/*secure SUID programs MUST
*not trust any user input or environment variable!! */

char *env[]={"PATH=/bin:/usr/bin",NULL};
char prog[]="/home/alice/idinfo";
if (access(prog,X_OK)){
fprintf(stderr,"ERROR: %s not executable\n",prog);
exit(1);
}
printf("running now %s ...\n",prog);
setreuid(geteuid(),geteuid());
execle(prog,(const char*)NULL,env);
perror("suidtest");

return(1);
}

Compile the program with "gcc -o suidtest -Wall suidtest.c" and set the s-bit on the owner:

>chmod 4755 suidtest
or
>chmod u+s suidtest

Run it! What happens? Nothing ? Run it from a different user!

The file suidtest is owned by alice and has the s-bit set where normally the x is for the owner of the file. This causes the file to be executed under the user-ID of the user that owns the file rather than the user that executes the file. If Tux runs the program then this looks as follows:

>ls -l suidtest
-rwsr-xr-x 1 alice users 4741 Jan 1 21:53 suidtest
>whoami
tux

running now /home/alice/idinfo ...
effective user-ID:
alice
real user-ID:
alice
group ID:
users

As you can see this is a very powerful feature especially if root owns the file with s-bit set. Any user can then do things that normally only root can do. A few words on security. When you write a SUID program then you must make sure that it can only be used for the purpose that you intended it to be used. Always set the path to a hard-coded value. Never rely on environment variables or functions that use environment variables. Never trust user input (config files, command line arguments....). Check user input byte for byte and compare it with values that you consider valid.

When a SUID program is owned by root then both the effective and the real user-ID can be set (with setreuid() function).

Set-UID programs are often used by "root" to give ordinary users access to things that normally only "root" can do. As root you can e.g modify the suidtest.c to allow any user to run the ppp-on/ppp-off scripts on your machine.

Note: It is possible to switch off Suid when mounting a file system. If the above does not work then check your /etc/fstab. It should look like this:
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
If you find the option "nosuid" there then this Suid feature is switched off. For details have a look at the man-page of mount. " linuxfocus.org

Linux fdisk

"There was several suggestions to deal with partitions using linux fdisk on this forum but little explanation how. Since linux fdisk is much more complex than DOS fdisk it can be very confusing, especialy to inexpirienced windows user, so I decided to write something about metter.
First of all you will need some linux distribution. Let it be DSL (damn small linux). After you create bootable media, connect disk you want to format and boot.

1.NAMING

Fdisk needs to know the name of device it will work with. It means that you will need to open root console antype : "fdisk ". In linux it goes like this:
IDE disks:

primary master - /dev/hda
primary slave - /dev/hdb
secondary master - /dev/hdc
secondary slave - /dev/hdd

SCSI:
scsi disks are seen as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc.

USB:
USB disks are seen as SCSI.

[note]Some older (pre 2.6 kernel) sets IDE DVD/CD burners to mount like scsi device. It is because of compatibility with burning software which worked only with scsi devices[note]

2.PARTITION NAMING

After you typed "fdisk ", you are in fdisk prompt. Typing "p" you can get list of partitions allready present. For example:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 9601 77120001 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 9602 9729 1028160 82 Linux swap

Command (m for help):

Here you can see (in this case) two primary partitions one ext3 (linux) and second "linux swap" type. Disk can be splited in 4 primary partitions of which one can be extended and they are named from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda4. One of them can be extended partition which can contain logical partitions. Logical partitions are allways named from /dev/hda5 upward, /dev/hda6, /dev/hda7...
[on IDE disks you can have up to 63 logical partitions and on SCSI disk you can have it up to 15]

3.ADDING PARTITION

In fdisk prompt type "n".
Now, you have to choose what type your new partition will be.

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)

After you choose type of partition, if there are more than one option you will be asked for partition number.
Next you will be asked for start cylinder and by default it is the lowest possible. I suggest leaving it as it is. Next you will need to enter end cylinder, default is last possible. Here you can enter values like +size or +sizeM or +sizeK or +sizeG where size is number of bytes, sizeG is GB, +sizeM is MB and sizeK is KB (+1024, +8192K, +13M, +4G).

4.TYPE OF PARTITION

Partition type needs to be defined. Type L, and listing will show.

Command (m for help): L

Command (m for help):

Now, type t, choose partition you created and enter code of type you want.
Type "w" and that's it, you are done. If you want fdisk to do nothing and forget changes you have done, type "q", fdisk will do nothing until you exit it.

You will see effect next time when you remount device.


Fdisk has loads of other useful functions (defining number of cylinders, heads or sectors for example) and list of his functions you can get with typing "m".

Hope this was helpfull and sorry for my englisch." devhardware.com
