Generate Random String

参考 bash generate random alphanumeric string.

# bash generate random 32 character alphanumeric string (upper and lowercase) and 
NEW_UUID=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1)

# bash generate random 32 character alphanumeric string (lowercase only)
cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1

# Random numbers in a range, more randomly distributed than $RANDOM which is not
# very random in terms of distribution of numbers.

# bash generate random number between 0 and 9
cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '0-9' | fold -w 256 | head -n 1 | head --bytes 1

如果报错 head: illegal option -- -，加环境变量 LC_CTYPE=C 即可。

# edit crontab file
$ crontab -e
$ EDITOR=vi crontab -e

# add a cron job
$ (crontab -l; echo "*/1 * * * 1-5 echo hello") | crontab -

# add a cron job with no duplication
$ croncmd="*/1 * * * 1-5 echo hello"
$ (crontab -l | grep -v -F "$croncmd"; echo "$croncmd") | crontab -

# remove a cron job
$ crontab -l | grep -v -F "$croncmd" | crontab -

Logrotate

# /etc/logrotate.d/xxx

/path/to/your/logfile {
    daily                # or weekly/monthly/yearly
    size 100M            # or 100/100k/100G
    rotate 7
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 644 root root
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP rsyslogd
    endscript
}

Troubleshooting: Logrotate not rotating file after file size exceeds the limit

SSH
