Some Bits Of System Administration

… things that I found valuable or that I contributed myself

• SysAdmin'ish Blog: News, updates, and some frolics

• My Definition Of System Administration (see also SAGE Code Of Ethics)

• Courier IMAP & POP3 stats per user
• mail_syntax: A script to "validate"/check the syntax of e-mail addresses
• A simple colorize for the shell
• postpone: A script to postpone some action for a given time
• showmydisks: A script to report partitions, types, file systems, mount points, and usage

• Essential e-mail acronyms
• attachment_filter.pl: A Perl script to remove unwanted attachments, e.g. all non-text binary attachments
• autoreply_deferentially.rc: A procmail based autoreply/autoresponder/vacation script
• Regexes to filter mail receipts
• fullquoteremover: 2 simple scripts (Bash + AWK) to automatically remove full or excessive quotes from e-mail message replies.
  However, please note that t-prot (the TOFU protection script) does a much better job, and is available as Debian packages. The concept behind fullquottel (by Philipp Spitzer and Gregor Herrmann) is more comparable to my own, though contrary to fullquoteremover, fullquottel is written in C++, and it comes with documentation. Lucio Chiappetti's approach uses procmail and awk just like mine but also removes HTML attachments.

• choose.php: Let users chooSE their search engines
• netstat.php: A simple script to show online status of hosts and services
• mysigchk.bat: A Windows batch file to check the version of programs
• NoteIt bookmarklet to quickly copy title, URL and some text of a web page
• Recommended Web Applications
