/hbin/edit-dns

the script calls the dns zone include file in an editor and restarts bind if the file has changed

remote root login diabled

from now on.

now, here is an interesting option in the sshd_config:
#PermitRootLogin without-password
;)

apt-get install wordpress

i installed the debian wordpress package. it supports multiple blogs via hostname. very nice. see /etc/wordpress

custom themes can be linked into the wordpress directory with
ln -s /www/domain.tld/mytheme /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme

removing domains from mokey

i don't know if it makes sense to write a script for this, so i created a checklist for manual removal of a domain. check it out at /usr/local/hosting/doc/checklist_domain_removal.txt

please add thing that i didn't think of.

bash completion ON

i switched on the bash completion in /etc/bash.bashrc. so now many commands make wise suggestions at pressing tab. try it with chown or man. very useful.

phpmyadmin upgrade

from 2.6.1-pl3 to 2.6.2 (apt output was overwritten by the dpkg-configure screen)

killing all processes of a user

this here will do the trick:
pkill -U meinhard

this here is an interesting way to do the same thing:
kill `pgrep -U meinhard -d " "`

actually i was looking for a way to kill all zombie processes, but i didn't find an easy way.

/hbin/editvirtual

i use it to edit /etc/postfix/virtual. it calls an editor first (mcedit, sorry), then rebuilds the virt user table by calling the script.

also i moved /etc/postfix/built-vut to /hbin/postfix-build-vut, but i left a symlink in the postfix directory for traditional resons. :)
