tf101 usb battery

A while back I got this "Rechargeable Laptop Battery" from a brookstone outlet a few months ago for about 35$. Not bad since its 145.

http://www.brookstone.com/U2O-Battery-Laptop

So here is what I did to it to make it work for my tf101. The pictures are pretty self explanatory

Download a script and run it and log output

Run on box a

ssh root@carebears-hv-01.pony.com "wget http://unicorn.com/test " -O - | sh - 2>&1 | tee log_file.txt"

File on box b "unicorn"

##cat test
#!/bin/sh

echo "this is a test"

output on box c "carebears"

# cat log_file.txt
this is a test

Look its magic

How to get serial numbers from a sun box

How to get serial numbers from a sun box

bash-3.2# smbios -t SMB_TYPE_SYSTEM
ID    SIZE TYPE
1     159  SMB_TYPE_SYSTEM (system information)
  Manufacturer: Sun Microsystems
  Product: Sun -----
  Version:                                
  Serial Number:xxxx                    
  UUID: ff200008-ffff-ffff-ffff-xxxxxxxxx

Another good command 

prtdiag -v

dns and dhcp loops of death

 dhcp loop fun

for i in {1..2};do  index=$(($i+28-1)); echo -e "\t\thost war-vm-$i.super.mega.ultra.pony.com {\n\t\t\thardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:$index;\n\t\t\tfixed-address war-vm-$i.super.mega.ultra.pony.com;\n\t\t}"; done

Give you this sexy output


host war-vm-1.super.mega.ultra.pony.com {
                        hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:28;
                        fixed-address war-vm-1.super.mega.ultra.pony.com;
                }
                host war-vm-2.super.mega.ultra.pony.com {
                        hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:29;
                        fixed-address war-vm-2.super.mega.ultra.pony.com;
                }

dns fun

if you want to generate entry's from war-vm-1 to 60 but your ip dose not start at 1.
its time do have your dns server do some math


super.mega.ultra.pony.com

 $GENERATE       7-67    war-vm-\${-6,0} A 66.66.66.$

66.66.66

$GENERATE       7-67   $       PTR     war-vm-\${-6,0}.super.mega.ultra.pony.com.

Stereo Fun with Sony MEX BT2700

About 5 months ago I installed my Sony MEXBT2700  in my 2011 Nissan Altima. And its working great. However I lost my steering wheel controls. So I just ordered the Axxess Metra ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface which is listed compatible with my car. Unfortunately it is not so sent it back. Maybe I'll look for another product another time.

UPS on Netgear ReadyNas Duo

On the Netgear ReadyNas Duo you can add a UPS to prevent data loss.
But how do you manage that with out being present or able to login to your ready nas.
With the cli of course. First you have to setup the webui to handle the connection.
To do this you must login to the readynas
Click System
   >> Power
  >>> Under UPS Configuration you can select Enable network monitoring of attached UPS

      >>> Now you can enter your Ip of the host you want to check the ups status.

Here is what the output looks like

~]# upsc UPS@172.x.x.x

battery.charge: 100

battery.chemistry: PbAc

battery.runtime: 1688

battery.voltage: 27.6

driver.name: hidups

driver.parameter.lowbatt_pct: 0

driver.version: 2.0.5

ups.mfr: APC

ups.model: Back-UPS XS 1500 LCD

ups.serial: JB0648006890  

ups.status: OL

take your battery.runtime and / 49 and you get your time in mins

so mine is 

$ bcalc 1688/49

34.4489

34 mins of run time

Watch for /var filling up past 50%

If /var ever fills up past 50% you will have trouble logging in via the web or ssh .
