The SRW SGE and SFE cisco switches have a LightCLI which if your used to using a real Cisco IOS is much better than the default menu driven telnet interface!

To get to it connect via telnet or ssh, log in and press ctrl-z, at the prompt, type lcli and hey presto :)

More info on lcli is available on the lcli wiki http://lcli.wikidot.com/

Im talking about the Ring Ring when you call someone from a line...

This is the details :)

Spectrum Analysis shows:

0ms - Full Ring (200ms) - 400ms - Ring Fade out(100ms) - 500ms - No Ring(100ms) - 600ms - Ring Fade In(100ms) - 700ms - Full Ring(300ms) - 1000ms - Ring Fade out(300ms) - 1100ms - No Ring (2900ms)- 3000ms - Repeat

As far as i can tell from google it (officially) should be:

0.00 - Full Ring(400ms) - 0.40 - No Ring(200ms) - 0.60 - Full Ring(400ms) - 1.00 - No Ring(2000ms) - 3.00 - Repeat

Based on that it if your having problems with accurate detection you might need to "Tune" a bit from the official figures :)

Go there and read all about it!

Want real root access to your DRAC5?

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-poweredge@dell.com/msg00171.html

ssh root@
$ su
-sh: su: not found
$ racadm util mode -set vendor
$ racadm util mode -isvendor
Vendor mode is ENABLED
$ su
$ uname -a
Linux drac 2.4.26 #2 Fri Aug 22 18:06:24 UTC 2008 mips unknown

You can use "racadm util mode -clear" to disable vendor mode again.
It's probably not good to leave it enabled unless you're well firewalled
as it will allow anyone to log in as racuser/calvin and power off your
server.

COOL!

Quote from EMC KB Article - Article ID: emc150702
This solution currently (April, 2007) does not apply to CX300i, CX500i, or AX100i arrays. It could apply to AX150i arrays. However, PowerPath for iSCSI does not support load-balancing so the issues described in this solution are much less likely to be a problem. In addition, AX-series customers are not expected to be able to edit the registry in the fashion described so this solution is not appropriate for them.

So apparently we are idiots who shouldnt be allowed to edit the windows registry... O_O

lol

As per the Title this blog now has SSL Support :)

So you want to convert one date format to another easy just use the date command!

soloflyer@SoloFlyer:$ date -d "10:30pm 22 november 2008"
Sat Nov 22 22:30:00 CST 2008

Want to specify the conversion format?

soloflyer@SoloFlyer:$ date -d "10:30pm 22 november 2008" +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
2008-11-22 22:30:00

Say we want to add 60 seconds to that... it would be best to use unix time which is the number of seconds since 1970-01-01

soloflyer@SoloFlyer:$ date -d "10:30pm 22 november 2008" +"%s"
1227355200

Add 60 to 1227355200 we get 1227355260 so now lets convert that back to real time

soloflyer@SoloFlyer:$ date -d "1227355260"
date: invalid date `1227355260'

Oh whoops, that didnt work, so lets read the man page... Nothing!!
Arrg ok google it is... after what felt like #$@&ing ages I still havent found an answer, but I notice a website that has displayed unix time and put an @ before it... might as well try it...

soloflyer@SoloFlyer:ret:1$ date -d "@1227355260"
Sat Nov 22 22:31:00 CST 2008

Why couldnt that be mentioned somewhere... anywhere... sigh...

Ill probably put in a bug report suggesting a section be added regarding accepted input for the -d option...

Hey who knows I might even write it... :)
