Link: How to reboot Linux automatically on Kernel Panic

A kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover. The term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems; for Microsoft Windows operating systems the equivalent term is “stop error” (or, colloquially BSOD “Blue Screen of Death”).

…..

The default [is] to wait, so if this happen on one of your servers and you don’t notice it all its services could stay down for some time, while using an automatic reboot the problem could be solved quickly.

We can configure a directive that will automatically reboot the system when a kernel panic is detected.

Link: How to Create a Partition on Your Mac

Unlike Windows-based computers, Macs usually do not come with multiple hard-drive partitions. It is just a single partition that you see when you first boot your Mac. Though there is no harm using your Mac with a single partition, it is highly recommended that you have at least two partitions on your machine. This will let you store your important files on one partition when the other one is being formatted. It is also helpful if you plan to install another OS beside your Mac OS. Regardless of your reasons, here’s how you can do it.

Link: Setting Up DNS Server On CentOS 7

DNS, stands for Domain Name System, translates hostnames or URLs into IP addresses. For example, if we type www.unixmen.com in browser, the DNS server translates the domain name into its associated ip address. Since the IP addresses are hard to remember all time, DNS servers are used to translate the hostnames like www.unixmen.com to 173.xxx.xx.xxx. So it makes easy to remember the domain names instead of its IP address.

This detailed tutorial will help you to set up a local DNS server on your CentOS 7 system. However, the steps are applicable for setting up DNS server on RHEL and Scientific Linux 7 too.

Link: How to Use the Linux “find” Command to Locate Files

We have all lost files. You think a file is in a certain directory and yet when you go looking for it, you can’t find it. Most desktop-based Linux distributions have a way to find files from the desktop, but you can also find files from the command line using the find command.

Link: App Factory Turns Any Script a Into Real App

Mac: One of the nice things about OS X is the fact you can easily make tiny little apps using basic lines of codes. Actually turning those little snippets into an app outside of Terminal requires a compiler though. App Factory eases that process by creating the app for you.

Link: How to Rename Files in Linux

Renaming files is not a particularly advanced operation; as long as it’s done on a small number of files, it usually doesn’t require special tools. However, when there’s an entire folder of photos from last year’s vacation waiting to be renamed, it might be wise to consider some time-saving tricks or apps.

Link: Advanced Guide to nslookup

When you want to call someone on your cell phone, you likely just find the person in your list of contacts and select their name. The handset then uses the unique phone number associated with that person and makes the call. In general, you don’t need to remember the phone number itself, as the address book stores it for you under the name of the contact.

The Internet works in a very similar way. Each server on the Internet has an address assigned to it and a name. There is a global address book which stores the address (or addresses) along with the associated name (or names). This huge address book is known as DNS (Domain Name System). The way it works is that when you type a URL into your browser, e.g. maketecheasier.com, then the browser (via the underlying operating system) queries DNS to get the address for the server which hosts the web site. A similar, but not identical, thing happens when we send emails.

Link: Understanding APT, APT-Cache and Their Frequently Used Commands

If you’ve ever used Debian or a Debian based distribution like Ubuntu or Linux Mint, then chances are that you’ve used the APT package system to install or remove software. Even if you’ve never dabbled on the command line, the underlying system that powers your package manager GUI is the APT system.

Today, we are going to take a look at some familiar commands, and dive into some less or more frequently used APT commands, and shed some light on this brilliantly designed system.
