Windows 7 Windows Explorer fix

On a computer when right clicked on the desktop one was getting the alert saying that "Windows Explorer stopped working.Trying to find solutions.." etc. I first tried to do "sfc /scannow" on a root command prompt which gave that everything is OK. Then I started investigating the cause of Windows Explorer's crash by navigating through Event Viewer. And I found entries which clued that explorer.exe's crash is due to shell extensions dll file. Then I realised that there is a good shell extensions viewer provided free by Nirsoft at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html. Thanks to these guys I used the program and found the third party extension which I guess infected by a malicious program. First disabled it and checked that if it causes the crash, then removed the Registry keys of it. Voila now the explorer.exe is working just fine.

An Awk feature

I was trying to use sub (or gsub) function in awk to delete an \r from the end of line. For that purpose I used dum=sub(/\r/,"",$0) and thought that the variable "dum" will be filled with the changed value of $0. But I realised that sub function only make the change and returns 0,1 accordingly. So I wrote like this sub(/r/,"") ; x=$0;

Centos 6 Postgresql 9.1 Install

Today I have changed my mind and decided to begin learning and using Postgresql. On a Centos 6 host there are some ways of installing Postgresql. I have chosen the easy one: use repos. Here http://yum.pgrpms.org/repopackages.php is the official Postgresql repos for Red Hat related distros. I have chosen the x86_64 rpm for Centos 6 and installed it. Later using yum install postgresql91-server I have installed three packages postgresql91,postgresql91-server and postgresql91-libs which is enough for now to start Postgresql 9.1. Using the instructions at /usr/share/doc/postgresql91-9.1.1/README.rpm-dist , I first did service postgresql-9.1 initdb and then service postgresql-9.1 start.Voila! Now let the journey begin! Edit:  Here is another place to look instructions http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/203-postgresql90-yum.html

OpenBSD Nfsen install

I was  trying to find a solution for network monitoring as a friend's request. OpenBSD is the firewall. I saw the Nfsen packages and installed to a 5.2 server. After some effort trying to understand what is going on behind, I realised that Netflow is a protocol by Cisco designed to export router traffic to outside. And OpenBSD has a support of it with pflow interface. First I made a new pflow0 interface like ifconfig pflow0 flowdst 127.0.0.1:9998 flowsrc 127.0.0.1 up Then made some configuration changesto /etc/nfsen.conf and /var/www/htdocs/nfsen/conf.php. Because Apache in OpenBSD runs in chrooted by default, if you dont make the necessary changes in these pages you got an error stating  ERROR: nfsend connect() error: Permission denied!  ERROR: nfsend - connection failed!!  ERROR: Can not initialize globals! which is because apache cant reach the communication socket which is initially  located at $PIDDIR/nfsen.comm namely /var/db/nfsen/run direc...
