The key is to define a variable first, then use the BEGIN block to initialize the variable, then reference the variable in use lib $var; later on ;-} For example, enable a module contained in the same directory as a script called via the PATH:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
#!/ussr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; our $scriptPath; BEGIN { eval { use File::Basename; use File::Spec; $scriptPath = dirname(File::Spec->rel2abs(__FILE__)); 1; } or do { die "$0 use CRASHED: $@"; }; } use lib $scriptPath; eval { use MyModule::ABC; 1; } or do { die "$0 use CRASHED: $@"; }; |

Recent changes to git have made the push default choice a bit confusing – “matching” vs. “simple” I picked “matching” when prompted. This means that git push by itself will try to push ALL local branches, not just the one you are working on. Personally, I find that a bit mad, so I decided to […]

The trick to using eval to catch shell execution is to return twice, once inside the eval and once outside:
|
|
sub isMaintenance { my $return = eval { my $err=system("check_policy.sh | grep 'Policy is MAINTENANCE' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null"); &debug("perl error code: $err"); $err=$err / 256; &debug("system error code: $err"); if ($err != 0) { # Not Maintenance if ($verbose) { warn "policy is NOT MAINTENANCE\n"; } return 0; } else { return 1; } }; return $return; } |
Neat!

On MacOSX 10.10.5 Yosemite, I was having trouble with Spotlight preventing the clean eject of an attached hard drive. Using the fuser command allowed me to see that it what the Spotlight-specific mds process preventing the eject.

At first, I tried to disable the indexing via the mdutil command, but that just gave me […]

First, use lsblk to see the raw partitions:
|
|
# df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/nvme0n1p1 xfs 20G 2.8G 18G 14% / # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT nvme0n1 259:0 0 40G 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 20G 0 part / └─nvme0n1p128 259:2 0 1M 0 part |
Note how the partition at 259:1 is only 20GB, while the entire disk at 259:0 is 40GB. A partition resize is required in this case.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |

sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p1 |

First, get the container ID using docker ps:
|
|
shell> docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 3bcc0baffd68 dashboard:1.0.10-88 "docker-php-entrypoi…" 29 minutes ago Up 29 minutes 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp dashboard |
Now run docker exec -it {ContainerID} /bin/bash:
|
|
shell> docker exec -it 3bcc0baffd68 /bin/bash root@3bcc0baffd68:/var/www/html# exit |
You can make a simple shell script to ease typing a bit:
|
|
shell> cat dshell #!/bin/sh # dshell # usage: dshell ContainerID docker exec -it $* /bin/bash |
