Adjust to suit your needs. Currently this would kill any whois process running for more than 30 seconds or more than 1 minute.
Add it as a cronjob. The motivation is that some commands have no timeout and just end up using up CPU and memory for no reason while never exiting to free resources.

Add the following to fstab where 192.168.1.125/Media is the samba share and where /home/homeuser/Downloads is where you want to mount.
Change user and pass to what is needed (if no pass is required it still works fine with the below).
//192.168.1.125/Media /home/homeuser/Downloads cifs user=guest,pass=bla 0 0

What if you want to mass rename them?
the rename tool can work just like sed
For Debian based distros:
Note "file" is what we search for and "newname" is what we replace it with, so substitute according to your requirements.

This happens all the time, you are reading from a textfile which has spaces eg:
datainfo 00
datainfo 11
If you do loop on it like this:
for info in `cat $file`; do
echo "info=$info"
done
It will treat datainfo and 00 as two separate lines:
info=datainfo
info=00
Obviously that's not what we want and there are many weird solutions in bash bu........
This is just how I like things, quick and simple through CLI (command line) using gifsicle for free.
gifsicle --colors 256 --delay=200 --loop banner.gif banner-page2.gif > banner.gif
banner.gif = the first page of the banner
banner-page2.gif = the second page
--delay=200 ms to switch between the two
--loop=it goes back and forth between the two pages forever
banner.gif=the resulting animated gif.

This is obviously a bug in the r8169 kernel module and it seems to affect a lot of people. I upgraded to the latest kernel and hope this won't happen anymore, as it is a very serious error. This is especially serious for those who are running servers with this chipset, who can afford for the NIC to randomly go off-line for no apparent reason?

When trying to even cd or ls the mounted OCFS2 partition it crashes. Ithink this is a combination of VMWare Server's problem and the way I mounted and symlinked to it.
More than anything this shows the problem and lack of forsight with VMWare, but also that OCFS2 is easily crashed if you do strange things.

This will give you the basic info needed to browse and connect to Samba shares from the command line. From the GUI of Gnome or KDE etc, it is pretty standard and straight forward. However, I've found very little guides on how to do it from the command line and if you're like me, a nerd who prefers command line for its simplicity and for remote use, this is the way to go.
First get a list of all the Samba/SMB shares on the target.
