Force shutdown of a Linux server

This could be useful when you really need to shutdown... some kind of a "Vulcan Key" to the kernel :)

#echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
#echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Who's using my port? (AIX)

Sometimes is very useful know what process is using a specific port. In AIX, the netstat command show you this info using the following parameters:

netstat -Aan

So, you must use grep to filter the port you are looking for.

The first column shows a hexadecimal number. Using the rmsock command with the following parameters to see the PID:

rmsock (hexnumber) tcpcb

or udpcb

:)

Red Hat remote install through VNC

boot: linux vnc vncpassword=qwerty ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dns=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ksdevice=ethx

AIX: Assign pvid to hdisk

chdev -l HDISK -a pv=yes

Redirect from httpd.conf

Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com:8087/

Another simple but great directive. (Apache)
