I have a VMWare Virtual machine that I use for testing and I needed to upgrade to PHP 5
this can be accomplished this way.
To upgrade to PHP5
edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Enable CentOSPlus
Then do yum update php
basically the REPO will look like this after you enable it.
#contrib - packages by Centos Users
[contrib]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Contrib
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=contrib
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/contrib/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
[root@localhost ~]# yum update php

We don’t have any type of Netapp setups at work and I am interested in knowing more how people use Netapp devices to provide disk access to linux servers.
I found this great guide. :) and I am saving this for future reference.

Problem:
You have a service that cannot bind to a port and the only message you have in log files is ‘port already in use’ or you have a need to find out exactly what processes are currently manipulating your server and what files they are affecting.

for example files like this
Movie_46_(Dark sector brutal59).flv
Movie_46_(Dark sector brutal59).wmv
as you can see there are weird characters like ( ) and spaces.
so here is a quick way to rename those files.
Here is an example i ran on my machine to see it works.

Here is a little script I wrote to update twitter with server status infomation.
this is not trying to replace Nagios or more advanced server monitoring tools, but if you want to track your own personal server and want a cool hack you can use this script and tweak it.
Please if you do some cool updates could you email it to imrobotmaker@yahoo.com
Thanks

#!/bin/bash
#
# twitter-stats Script to update Twitter with server stats
#
# Author: By Marco Penguin
# Purpose --- See Below
# We will be using curl to send updates to twitter.
# With this example here will send reports for SSH Connections, Disk Space and Server Load
# You can modify this script to send other cool stuff you want to track
#
# Warning: You should protect your updates on twitter unless you want to make this info public
#
# Things you want to change TUSERNAME "Your twitter username" TPASSWD "Your Twitter Password"
# Add this script to your cronjobs or put it on your /etc/cron.hourly to run every hour
# or /etc/cron.daily to run it only once a day.
### Some Twitter Variables
TUSERNAME="your_twitter__username"
TPASSWD="your_twitter_password"
### Stuff We Want to track #####
SSHNET=$( netstat | grep "ssh" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d: -f2 )
DISKSPACE=$( df -h | tr -s ' ' | grep -e hda -e hdb | cut -d' ' -f1,4 | sed "s/\/dev\//hardrive /g" | sed "s/$/ remaining space/g" )
LOAD=$( uptime | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f9-14 | sed "s/[:,]//g" )
### Path to Curl #########
CURL="/usr/bin/curl"
######### Update Twitter Information #########
### Send Disk Space Info to twitter ########
$CURL -s -u $TUSERNAME:$TPASSWD -d status="$DISKSPACE" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml > /dev/null
##### Send Server Load Status to Twitter ######
$CURL -s -u $TUSERNAME:$TPASSWD -d status="$LOAD" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml > /dev/null

Newbie: Intro to cron
Date: 30-Dec-99
Author: cogNiTioN <cognition@attrition.org>
Cron
This file is an introduction to cron, it covers the basics of what cron does,
and how to use it.
What is cron?
Cron is the name of program that enables unix users to execute commands or
scripts (groups of commands) automatically at a specified time/date. It is
normally used for sys admin commands, like makewhatis, which builds a
search database for the man -k command, or for running a backup script,
but can be used for anything. A common use for it today is connecting to
the internet and downloading your email.

INTRODUCTION TO BASH SHELL SCRIPTING:
VERSION 1.2
Like all the shells available in Linux, the Bourne Again SHell
is not only an excellent command line shell, but a scripting language in
itself. Shell scripting, allows you to fully utilize the shell’s abilities and
to automate a lot of tasks that would otherwise require a lot of commands to
perform. A lot of programs lying around your Linux box are shell scripts. If
you are interested in learning how they work, or in modifying them, it is
essential that you understand the
bash
bash language, you will be
able to write your own programs to do things exactly the way you want
them done.

sed tutorial
• sed introduction
• sed examples #1 • sed commands
• regular expressions
• more sed examples
intro home - top of the page - email
sed - Stream EDitor - works as a filter processing input line by line.
Sed reads one line at a time, chops off the terminating newline, puts what is left into the pattern space (buffer) where the sed script can process it (often using regular expressions), then if there anything to print - sed appends a newline and prints out the result (usually to stdout).
