In my current job we needed to automatize some processes by using Windows Task Scheduler; I wrote a batch file, which you may find useful,
especially when you don't have direct/remote access to user's desktop.

The main problem of implementation this task was Windows Vista/7 with its UAC, I had to use powershell to get Admin privileges by popping a window prompt to user directly to accept rather than have the user type the password manually upon the request.

Almost 80% of the weekend I spent on installing them, if you don't wanna spend time by installing these frameworks and want start playing with them immediately, you are welcome to use my already configured virtual machine for Virtualbox.

First of all you will need Virtualbox, then download image of my virtual machine:

P.S Tested on Ubuntu 9.10

I searched and searched for the answer to the following question: «How do I change the font size in grub2?» It seems that no one on the entire Internet knew!

Well, I did a lot of digging into the grub2 documentation and the scripts bundled with Ubuntu and I finally have the answer!

1. Pick a font you want to use for your menu. I recommend a nice easy-to-read monospace font such as DejaVu Sans Mono (it's in the example below).
2. Convert the font to grub2's format using the grub-mkfont command, taking the extra step of setting the font size:

sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2 \
--size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

3. GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2

GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2

4.

sudo update-grub

FYI: I believe the "--size=" indicates point size but I'm not entirely sure (the documentation doesn't say). If it is based on the point scale I don't believe it is taking dpi into account since I tried "--size=72" on a 120dpi display and letters were only about half an inch tall (72 points is precisely one inch).

By riskable

function print_r(theObj){
  if(theObj.constructor == Array ||
     theObj.constructor == Object){
    document.write("<ul>")
    for(var p in theObj){
      if(theObj[p].constructor == Array||
         theObj[p].constructor == Object){
document.write("<li>["+p+"] => "+typeof(theObj)+"</li>");
        document.write("<ul>")
        print_r(theObj[p]);
        document.write("</ul>")
      } else {
document.write("<li>["+p+"] => "+theObj[p]+"</li>");
      }
    }
    document.write("</ul>")
  }
}

<?php
function curPageURL() {
 $pageURL = 'http';
 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
 $pageURL .= "://";
 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 } else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 }
 return $pageURL;
}
?>

Test example:

<?php
  echo curPageURL();
?>

#!/bin/bash
MUSER="root"
MPASS="password"
MHOST="localhost"
MYSQL="$(which mysql)"
MYSQLDUMP="$(which mysqldump)"
BAK="/mnt/backupdir"
GZIP="$(which gzip)"
NOW=$(date +"%d_%m_%Y")
for i in `find $BAK -ctime +22`; do rm $i; done
[ ! -d $BAK ] && mkdir -p $BAK
DBS="$($MYSQL -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS -Bse 'show databases')"
for db in $DBS
do
 FILE=$BAK/$db.$NOW.gz
 $MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db | $GZIP -9 > $FILE
done

it deletes every 22 days old backups if you want to change life-time,
you can change the value of ctime in the followed line: for i in `find $BAK -ctime +22`; do rm $i; done
