echo "$@" | xargs /usr/bin/cssh &

Usage Example:

$ cssh '1.2.3.4
1.2.3.5
1.2.3.6
1.2.3.7'

Gridviews are awesome, but what if you want to use arraylists to make them in the code-behind? For example, maybe you want to re-use the same gridview control with different data rather than have a custom control built specifically for each data set. This guide will show you how to 'self-wire' the gridview controls so you can build them directly and dynamically. This will reduce the attack surface of your web applications, making them more secure and reduce redundant code and controls, making them easier to maintain.

Overview

This article gives a basic overview of how to create dynamic menus for your .net web pages.

There are three important controls to designing your dynamic menu:

• web.sitemap Control
• SiteMapDataSource Control
• Menu Control

The web.sitemap Control

The Sitemap control is an XML file that contains information about your dynamic menu. It stores your menu in a series of nested tag controls. Add this to your project by right-clicking on your project and selecting Add->New Items->Web->Site Map

This document describes how to create a fault tolerant load balancer cluster using LVS and Keepalived on Debian Lenny. LVS works off of internal firewall marks that are added to incoming packets by iptables. The example here uses firewall mark 100 to manage this internal routing for the load balanced IP address 192.168.1.100. Note that LVS uses decimal 100, where iptables uses the hex equivalent (0x64).

There is a great command line JMX client available at http://crawler.archive.org/cmdline-jmxclient/index.html which allows you to query everything JMX. This is especially useful for a quick insight into the health of your Java server. It can also be used for monitoring, but beware that every time it is run a new JVM instance is created.

The hardest parts of talking to Active Directory (or LDAP) are first learning the query language, and second figuring out what is 'good' to query and what is not. This document will focus on how to talk to active directory in a way that is quick, accurate, and most importantly easy to understand.

Recently I encountered the need to figure out if all the terminated employees from my organization had been disabled within Active Directory, and if all their priveleges had been revoked. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to do this, so I decided to build a report using MSSQL, SQL Server Integration Services, and the .NET DirectoryServices library using the Common Language Runtime (CLR). This tutorial assumes a basic familiarity with SQL Server Interation Services (SSIS), Visual Studio, and other Microsoft development tools.
