Unix Shell scripts are perfect when it comes to simple automation tasks. But the in-built calculations are quite poor compared to rest of its functionality. The main issues I've faced using out-of-box shell script functions like expr, bc, echo are Unable to calculate decimal places correctly Error handling very poor (even divide by 0) and goes out of control. Hard to control precision Escape characters and regex increases complexity with formula Object Oriented programs like Java/Python/.NET are excellent for arithmetic calculations. But this involves another level of coding and program installation. The trick I used is to use PERL which is built in almost all *nix distributions. Some of the advantages of using PERL within shell script are Easy to embed Perl commands into shell scripts Most of *nix distro have PERL inbuilt Reduced regex or escape character usage Can put formulae into config file and can loop them into the shell script precision, error handling

I have discovered that cURL is intelligent than humans !! cURL is surrounded by a huge list of command-line options which makes it even powerful than browser itself Scenario in our company Siteminder protects web-pages and web-services under particular FQDN/realm Siteminder integrates with SSO/LDAP.

This is extremely useful if a port is not opened over firewall but you can hop to a server with access and from there you can hop to another and so on.. Essentially it forwards port if you have access to atleast one port. Create a new SSH session - and save it. And click on load to load the settings. Choose the server and port  where you have already got access and firewall works. (eg.  ServerA, Port: 22) Select Tunnels from the Left Menu, specify the Source Port and Destination: The tunnel is created between the REMOTE UNIX box and your local machine (localhost). So, the source port will be the port on the REMOTE UNIX box  to which you want to talk to at a specific port which you can't access (eg Port 37150). And the destination will be your localhost, which will act as the other end your tunnel session [ad#ad-3] Click Save after selecting the"Session" Open the saved sessi

You could buy mirroring softwares like
