CLI Magic: Daily aliases
Monday December 12, 2005 (08:01 AM GMT)

By: Keith Winston

A shell alias is a simple way to create your own custom command. To make your aliases available every time you open a bash shell, add them to your $HOME/.bashrc file. For other shells, place them in the associated run control file. Many distributions include a basic set of aliases for all users. When I start working on a new system or get a new account, I immediately add my favorite aliases to my .bashrc.

To create an alias, use the syntax alias name=’value’ where name is the name of the new command and value is the command string that is executed. If you create an alias with the same name as an existing executable program in your path, the shell will run the alias instead of the program.

To remove an alias from your current shell session, use unalias name where name is the existing alias.

Installing ruby on Rails

for a long time I was wondering if ruby on rails was difficult to install
I tried to install ruby on rails on my box using my apache install
but I remembered that my apache was not built with DSO so in order to use
FastCGI which is needed for ruby that would mean to recompile my httpd
from scratch.

So on Sunday I tried to rebuild a new apache server with the existing sources
that I still had and I was able to compile DSO into it, but then I noticed that
some of my existing applications were broken. :(

This article is an introduction to the installation and deployment of Ruby on Rails.

What is Ruby on Rails?

Ruby is a programming language just like Perl, Python or PHP. Rails is an open source Ruby framework for developing database-backed web applications. You could develop a web application at least ten times faster with Rails than you could with a typical Java framework. It is a web application framework written in the Ruby programming language.

Introduction
MySQL Cluser Server is a fault-tolerant, redundant, scalable
database architecture built on the open-source MySQL application, and
capable of delivering 99.999% reliability. In this paper we describe
the process we used to setup, configure, and test a three-node mySQL
cluster server in a test environment.
