I avoid duplicate symlinks by using file names like 20110102-1234_DSC…JPG or YYYYMMDD-HHMM_OriginalFileName.JPG

The script looks like this

#!/bin/bash 

SRC="/media/Images"
DEST="/media/SymlinkTarget"

# Create a symlink under $DEST for each JPG file under $SRC
find $SRC -type f | grep -i jpg | while read PATHNAME; do
        NEW="$DEST";
        echo "$NEW";
        ln -s "$PATHNAME" "$NEW";
done

Installing Lsyncd 2.0 from source on CentOS 6
Lsyncd is not included as a package in CentOS 6, so you need to download the source file from http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/downloads/list.
You should have rsync, GCC and lua-devel installed on your system before you continue installing Lsyncd.

# yum install rsync lua-devel

Unpack the lsyncd source file and run the following commands from the unpacked file

# configure
# make
# make install

make install copies the compiled files and install them to the right directories in your system.

I need to configure a non password SSH communication between the two servers with a shared SSH key.
On the source server run the following command to generate a SSH key, if you have not done this already.
Remember to do this as the user you are going to perform the sync with.

# ssh-keygen

Secure copy the generated SSH key from the source server to your target server

# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@remoteserver:/tmp

On the target server you need to add the copied SSH key to your existing authorized keys file.
Also remember to do this with the user you are going to connect with from the source server.

# cat /tmp/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

If you do not have this file, just create it using the touch command described below

# touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Test if you can ssh without a password from your source server to the target server.

I have made a config file, /root/scripts/lsyncd.conf that tells Lsyncd where to put the log- and statusfile. That it should be running as a daemon in the background, and a sync should occur after 900 seconds (15 minutes) if there have not been any filesystem changes and there should not be more than 6 parallell Lsyncd processes.

settings = {
   logfile      = "/tmp/lsyncd.log",
   statusFile   = "/tmp/lsyncd.status",
   nodaemon     = false,
   maxDelays    = 900,
   maxProcesses = 6,
}

sync{default.rsyncssh, source="/path/on/source/", host="hostnam.target.server.tld", targetdir="/path/on/target/"}

To start lsyncd you run the command

# lsyncd /root/scripts/lsyncd.conf

You should now see a Lsyncd process running as a daemon on your system. It performs a sync when you start and then waits for any filesystem changes or sync after 900 seconds.

If you would like Lsyncd to start at boot, just add the following line to the bottom of file /etc/rc.local

lsyncd /root/scripts/lsyncd.conf

You do now have a working secure rsync syncronization between two servers.

What directories you are syncing

# tail -f /tmp/lsyncd.status

What is happening now

# tail -f /tmp/lsyncd.log

# cat filename.avi.* > filename.avi

The .001 .002 .003 files can be deleted after you have verfied that the files have merged together successfully to one file.

If you were using Windows you would normally use a software like HJSplit or similar.

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

Run the following command to make this change effective immediately

# sudo sysctl -p

A result from this command could be like this

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

To check that IPv6 has been disabled or not, run the following command from your console window

# ip a | grep inet

IPv6 has been disabled if this command does not return any IPv6 addresses.

#!/bin/bash
# Description:
# Grab screenshot of a specified X-window and wait X-seconds

# Use xwininfo to find the Window id to the window you are going to
# grab screenshots from.
xwininfo="0x4c0001a"

# filename for output
outfile="outfile-"

# seconds sleep between grabs
sleeping=2

padding="000" # put as many padding zeros as you want on filename
for ((i=0; i<1000; i+=1))
do
        # Perform the actual screenshot grab
        xwd -id $xwininfo -out $outfile-${padding:${#i}}$i.xwd

        # Convert the xwd file to a better image format like PNG
        convert $outfile-${padding:${#i}}$i.xwd $outfile-${padding:${#i}}$i.png

        # Delete the converted XWD-file
        rm -f $outfile-${padding:${#i}}$i.xwd

        # wait
        sleep $sleeping
done

Stop the script after you have grabbed enough screenshots.

I ended up with several files named outfile-000.png outfile-001.png ...
Deleted those files that were not needed and sent the images a documentation of the booting process.
