The execution flag must be set on a file for it to be possible to be executed as a script on a Linux system.

It turns out that I always have to search for the syntax when working with RPMs. To simplify my own life, and possible yours, here is a list of some commands I find useful. Some of them should be executed as root.

Remembering the syntax for yum is something I seem to have problems with. To simplify my own life, and possible yours, here is a list of some commands I find useful. Some of them should be executed as root.

Virtual servers are fantastic when you need to test something and want to make sure that you have a well know environment. A virtual server has no value. You can create it over and over again and it will only cost you some time to start and stop.
VirtualBox and Vagrant is a really easy combination to get started with. However, it may turn ut that the base box you use need to be enhanced. I will show you how you can increase the disk space available on the virtual host. Unfortunately, it isn't as easy as one could hope for. But it is possible and I will show you how. When the disk has been increased, I will repackage the virtual host so it can be reused easily.

Suppose that you need to do something from a Java program on a remote Linux server? How can you do that?
One thing we know is that Linux servers usually supports ssh and that you can do everything you need from a command line. In other words, you need a Java implementation of ssh so you can execute whatever you need on the remote host. Next problem is to either implement ssh yourself or find an implementation that you can use. If you decide not to implement ssh yourself, you will probably prefer a self contained implementation so you don't have to include more dependencies than necessary. This is a good use case for Ganymed SSH-2 for Java. The only thing left is to:
I will show you one solution to 1 and 2 above.
