WinkeyToggle

A small programm for disabling and re-enabling the windows-keys on the fly (without logoff or reboot).
Below you find the program, and the (Delphi)sourcecode if you are interested.

[Other] New Banner

Hi Folks,
thanks to [F4!L]tnzn I got a new logo for my homepage. Just in case you didn't notice Wink

[Other] Server moved

Hi Folks, today my server was moved to a different hosting location. Now I have a faster connection and a redundant line. Also my server is now reachable through IPv6. At the moment the webserver is IP4 only, I have to recompile apache to make it IPv6 ready. I try to do this until end of this week. My new Provider is SaSG GmbH & Co. KG, with headquarter in Munich.

[Other] Page fixed

Hi Folks,

after my page update serveral subpage were not working anymore. Also downloading was not possible.

I fixed those issues now. So downloads and so on are working again.

Also I added a new bash script to the download section. It is mainly for Ubuntu users who wants to get rid of to many kernel entries in grub menu. If you are interested, take a look in the download section.

New Page and EOL for NAStoo

Hi Folks, after quite some time, I decided to update my homepage to something "better looking". So I switched from the selfwritten stuff to Drupal. I hope everything is working and I dont have forgotten something important. Also I removed the NAStoo related sections. The files are no longer available for download. NAStoo also was never really finished. A lot of plans I have had were dropped because of missing spare time and also because the NAS-4220 Hardware is BS, it doesnt matter which Software you install on it.

System Statistics

If you are a linux server administrator it could be nice to see some system related information on shell login (local or ssh).

This script is does it for you. It shows the current system load, running logins, Zombie Processes and uptime.

Spinner aka shell spinning wheel

Everybody knows them, but most of the time they are used by perl or python scripts.
I talk about the spinning wheels in a shell.

This is a simple bash implementation of a spinning wheel. You can convert this code to a function which you export to a extra script and call it. If your process is done, you can stop the spinner by sending SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGKILL to it.

Generate Random Passwords

If you need passwords, random passwords are usually your first choice!
Often online generators or seperate programs were used.

Now here is a small random-password generator written in bash. It may not be the nicest or cleanest, but hell it works Wink

Generate NATO-Phonetics from String

If you have to work with random Passwords and different fonts, it's sometimes hard to see if a a sign is a capital letter or lower case letter, or a number.

To spell passwords easier it's nice to use the NATO phonetics-alphabet. This script translates a string to the corresponding NATO phonetic-spelling.

Detect Shell-Interpreter

Sometimes it is nessessary to know, if a shellscript is really running within bash or if another interpreter trys to "emulate" bash.

This for examples sometimes happens in Ubuntu Linux where /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash by default.
Dash itself is unable to work with functions, so it is required that you put this code in the beginning of your script, and not inside of any function.
