===== Turn off 'linked files' in Windows 7 =====
{{ :mwsnap_2013-01-23_09_37_13.png?direct&200|example}}From [[http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/141877-breaking-html-association.html|here]]. The dude summarizes the problem: "If I save this web page now it would be saved in two parts a HTML file: blah.htm and a folder with associated content blah_files. If I decide to just keep the HTM file and DELETE the entire image folder I have to break this link between the two otherwise when I delete the image folder the HTML file also gets deleted automatically. Windows treats them as one file. "
In Windows XP, in the folder options there was a setting called Managing pairs of Web pages and folders. Windows 7 hides this option by default.
To bring it back, install [[http://dsss.be/f/dat/BreakHTMLassociation.reg|this registry patch]]. The options that control this will now appear in the View tab of the Folder Options dialog (See example on right).
===== Delayed Windows shutdown =====
From a command prompt:
shutdown /t XXXXX /s
Where XXXXX is the number of seconds to wait. For more detail on this command, try ''shutdown /?''.
===== =====
===== Makefile stuff =====
To write [[http://www.fnal.gov/docs/UNIX/unix_at_fermilab/htmldoc/rev1997/uatf-112.html#MARKER-9-1654|suffix-based rules in Makefiles]]:
.src.dest:
If the suffixes in question aren't in the set of built in ones (as [[http://www.fnal.gov/docs/UNIX/unix_at_fermilab/htmldoc/rev1997/uatf-116.html#MARKER-9-1666|given]] by "''make -p -f /dev/null | grep SUFFIXES''"), you can [[http://www.fnal.gov/docs/UNIX/unix_at_fermilab/htmldoc/rev1997/uatf-112.html#HEADING112-105|add them]] with rules of the form:
.SUFFIXES : .a .b
===== Using awk =====
Basic syntax:
awk {}
Examples:
svn st | awk '/^\?/ {print $2}' # print names of unknown svn files
ps -A | awk '{print $1}' # print all pids
===== =====
===== 'clear' for cygwin =====
There's probably a package that provides this, but I just use:
echo -ne '\e[H\e[2J'
===== SATA Security Erase on Linux =====
To obliterate all data on a disk (and for an SSD, reset internal state):
hdparm --user-master u --security-set-pass test $1 && \
hdparm --user-master u --security-erase test $1
===== Instant SSH/PPP VPN tunnel =====
Basically, do the following after doing the [[http://rudd-o.com/linux-and-free-software/mola-the-poor-mans-anonymizing-vpn-tunnel-using-ssh-and-pppd|setup directions noted here]]:
/usr/sbin/pppd pty "ssh myinternetserver.com -t -e none -o 'Batchmode yes' /usr/sbin/pppd" 192.168.16.1:192.168.16.254 local nodetach silent
For the above, to make it a default gateway, on the client, I did:
sudo route add -host [server-internet-address] gw [normal-default-gateway]
sudo route add -net [my-lan]/8 gw [normal-default-gateway]
sudo route add default gw [server-ppp-address]
sudo route del default gw [normal-default-gateway]
You can get a setup intro and nice script to run it from [[http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/VPN-HOWTO/index.html|this HOWTO]].
(I may do a full writeup of this eventually)
