Using rsync with spaces

September 14th, 2011 — Linux

Something to never forget again:

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

rsync --recursive me@remote:'"~/Very complicated path/"' ~/Downloads/

So: single quote, double quote, path, double quote, single quote

The continuing story of Zend Studio 5.5.1

September 6th, 2011 — Linux, PHP

Everytime I install a new version of Ubuntu / Linux I'm hoping Zend Studio (the old/good one) will still be working. So I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and also this time I had to install some stuff to get Zend Studio working.

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs
ln -s /lib32/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

And it worked! Know I'm gonna try do update the JRE of the Zend Studio 5.5

ClipIt clipboard manager trayicon under Ubuntu 11.10

September 6th, 2011 — Linux

In ubuntu 11.04 I had an icon at ~/.icons/Humanity/status/22/gtk-paste.svg so I would get a nice systray icon for ClipIt. But ClipIt changed something so now I had to cp the gtk-paste.svg to:

~/.icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/clipit-trayicon.svg

Then logout/login and I had a nice trayicon! Long live clipboard managers. I _really_ wouldn't want to miss them!

Lsyncd

August 9th, 2011 — Linux, python

I was messing around with some python script to test a spamassassin install. It checks al the mail in the spam folder an see if it is marked as spam. Then it goes through the mail in ham/ and see if it passes as not-spam.

So I'm developing it on my local computer but I wanted to test it on a remote server. Well, actually not that remote because I can touch it from where I'm sitting but that's not the point The point was that I needed something to keep the remote version of the sourcecode in sync with the local source. Google to the rescue and I found lsyncd.

A nice little tool to sync two directories with rsync. Too bad it didn't support transfers only via sftp because freebsd (the remote server) doesn't come with rsync installed. So I had to install that also Yeah, tough job....

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

cd /usr/ports/net/rsync
make config
make install

Then on the local machine:

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

lsyncd --no-daemon --delay 1 ~/Workspaces/spamassassin-test/ beastie:~/spamassassin-test/

You have to specify the remote directory or else it will wipe you home folder as I discovered...

After this was done I could go on developing.

rsync retry (rrsync)

May 6th, 2011 — Linux

Met onze super-stabiele connectie op het kantoor wil rsync er nog wel eens uitklappen. Dus als je dan 's ochtends kijkt hoe ver 'ie is kom je er achter dat rsync gestopt is. Daarom een rrsync. Gebasseerd op deze link: http://blog.iangreenleaf.com/2009/03/rsync-and-retrying-until-we-get-it.html maar iets beter gemaakt zodat het rsync commando er niet hard in staat:

(Misschien dat de indent niet helemaal goed is)
