Nabaztag as a MPCB (Music Playback Control Bunny)
Listen to music on a computer is quite nice. Specially with a new JBL Creature III Sound System J But how to Stop/Start the playback in a cool way? I mean, just to click Play/Stop is so “old-fashion”. Puh, I though it’s time for a new purpose of my Nabaztag-Bunnies. So I’ve solved this problem…

Monitor Windows Performance Counters with Icinga or Nagios
Icinga or Nagios can be easily used to monitor Windows Performance Counters. This is quite useful, because the most “monitor-relevant” information from Windows Systems is available through Performance Counters. So, let’s start. First we’ll do the Windows-Part. Grab a copy of NSClient++ (Thanks a lot to Michael Medin for his great work on this AddOn)…

Yes to proceed. That’s it 😉
Find and delete files with specific content
Ever wanted to deleted (or move, copy, what else) all files in a directory? It’s quite easy: egrep -l NEEDLE * | xargs rm This command will find all files with NEEDLE in it, pipes the filename (that’s because we need the parameter L) to xargs which then use the STDIN (our filename) and put’s…
