    Hi friends,

    Changing the date and time from the Linux desktop is very easy. Usually all you need to do is right click on the desktop clock and choose adjust date and time. In case we are using a non GUI environment like Ububtu server we need to use the command line for that. Thanks a lot.....

Scraping an Entire Website using LINUX

Web scraping (also called Web harvesting or Web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding certain full-fledged Web browsers, such as the Internet Explorer (IE) and the Mozilla Web browser. Web scraping is closely related to Web indexing, which indexes Web content using a bot and is a universal technique adopted by most search engines. In contrast, Web scraping focuses more on the transformation of unstructured Web content, typically in HTML format, into structured data that can be stored and analyzed in a central local database or spreadsheet. Web scraping is also related to Web automation, which simulates human Web browsing using computer software.

Linux OS Backup and Recovery

Image
Source :http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/getting-started This quick start guide will show you how to run Relax-and-Recover from the git checkout and create a bootable USB backup. Start by cloning the Relax-and-Recover sources from Github: git clone https://github.com/rear/rear.git Move into the rear/ directory: cd rear/ Prepare your USB media. Change /dev/sdb to the correct device in your situation. Relax-and-Recover will ‘own’ the device in this example. This will destroy all data on that device. sudo usr/sbin/rear format /dev/sdb Relax-and-recover asks you to confirm that you want to format the device: Yes The device has been labeled REAR-000 by the ‘format’ workflow. Now edit the ‘etc/rear/local.conf’ configuration file: cat > etc/rear/local.conf < Now you are ready to create a rescue image. We want verbose output. sudo usr/sbin/rear -v mkrescue The output I get is: Relax-and-Recover 1.13.0 / $Date$ Using log file: /home/jeroen/tmp/...
