sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/startupemail.shHere’s the code for the script…
#!/bin/sh
# Lets things startup
sleep 60
# Get info
IP="$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
#Send email
echo "IP: $IP, Host: $HOSTNAME" | mail -s "Server Started" me@there.comMake sure to make it executable…
sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/sbin/startupemail.shThen add it to your /etc/rc.local file

NET GROUP "my_group" /DOMAINAnd yes, that is the work “DOMAIN”, not the domain you are in. The only value to change in the command is my_group

To do so you can manually run the following command…
sudo -u username php /path/to/owncloud/console.php files:scan --allYou may also want to consider adding it to the crontab for “username” on a daily basis.
Thanks to this site for pointing me in the right direction.

Once you’ve done that test sendmail out like so…
echo "command line test" | mail -s "Sendmail test" me@domain.com
With four lines setup one time you can type the beginning of a command (ex: “ls”) then press the up and down arrows to see the most recent commands containing the text you typed (ex: “ls ~/scripts”) making it much easier to find what you’re looking for. To make this happen, create a text file called .inputrc in your home folder and put the following four lines inside:
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set completion-ignore-case on
So my mom asked my opinion on the current standoff between Apple and the FBI over their insistence on building a back door into the iPhone “just this once” (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). As I said to her…
I completely agree with Apple’s stance. Once they create such a method to circumvent the security on the phone, I guarantee it will be ordered to do so from now until eternity. That is unless you believe everything the government and law enforcement tell you. In that case, then yes it will be just one time (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
Let’s also address certain politicians insistence on “opening up” security and “using our heads”…
START: Sarcasm and Contempt
Yeah, let’s open up security all over the place. In fact, then no one will ever be able to transmit anything securely ever again. Hint: “open up” just means lets build in a vulnerability, a bug – intentionally!! You didn’t want your credit card info submitted securely now do you? Probably should let the gov’t be able to scan all your photos and financial documents, and travel plans, and basically anything that’s stored digitally. Not like that’s everything now a days.
Not that hackers or “bad guys” would take advantage of that or anything. Gahh!!
END: Sarcasm and Contempt
If you’re regularly in Notepad++ you may find the NPPConsole to be a huge help. With it you can access a windows console or even cygwin if you prefer (I do). To get started…
If you want to just use the Windows console (DOS) you should be all set. To integrate with CYGWIN…
If you’ve ever accidentally set batch files to open in a text editor, and now are unable to run them anymore you have to use the registry editor instead of the Control Panel file associations. As pointed out in this article…
