URL Redirect

Redirect Directive

Description: Sends an external redirect asking the client to fetch a different URL
Syntax: Redirect [status] URL-path URL
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: FileInfo
Status: Base
Module: mod_alias

The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one by asking the client to refetch the resource at the new location.

The old URL-path is a case-sensitive (%-decoded) path beginning with a slash. A relative path is not allowed. The new URL should be an absolute URL beginning with a scheme and hostname.

Example:

vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
RewriteEngine on

Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service

If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt instead.

Gnuplot

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility for UNIX, IBM OS/2, MS Windows, DOS, Macintosh, VMS, Atari and many other platforms. The software is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was originally intended as to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. It does this job pretty well, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses, including web scripting and integration as a plotting engine for third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under development since 1986.

Gnuplot supports many types of plots in either 2D and 3D. It can draw using lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated text. It also supports various specialized plot types.

Shell Scripting: Read entries from administrative database

While scripting it is necessary to gather entries from administrative database such as passwd, group files or services, protocols or networks etc. Traditionally grep is choice of all UNIX administrators but recently I found GNU getent command. The command is quick, saves time:

The getent program gathers entries from the specified administrative database using the specified search keys. For example:

$ getent passwd vivek
$ getnet group admins
$ getent protocols vrrp
$ getent services www

Overall, it supports following databases:

* ahosts
* ahostsv4
* ahostsv6
* aliases
* ethers
* group
* hosts
* netgroup
* networks
* passwd
* protocols
* rpc services
* shadow

Adding New NIS users

New NIS users can be created by logging into the NIS server and creating
the new user account. In this case, you'll create a user account called
nisuser and give it a new password.

Once this is complete, you then have to update the NIS domain's
authentication files by executing the make command in the /var/yp
directory.

This procedure makes all NIS-enabled, nonprivileged accounts become
automatically accessible via NIS, not just newly created ones. It also
exports all the user's characteristics stored in the /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files, such as the login shell, the user's group, and home
directory.

[root@by]# useradd -g users nisuser
[root@by]# passwd nisuser
Changing password for user nisuser.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@by]# cd /var/yp
[root@by]# make
[root@by]#

You can check to see if the user's authentication information has been
updated by using the ypmatch command, which should return the user's
encrypted password string.

[root@by]# ypmatch nisuser passwd
nisuser:$1$d6E2i79Q$wp3Eo0Qw9nFD/::604:1100::/home/nisuser:/bin/sbash


You can also use the getent command, which has similar syntax. Unlike
ypmatch, getent doesn't provide an encrypted password when run on an NIS
server, it just provides the user's entry in the /etc/passwd file. On a
NIS client, the results are identical with both showing the encrypted
password.

[root@by]# getent passwd nisuser
nisuser:x:604:1100::/home/nisuser:/bin/bash
[root@by]#
