linux tips and tricks
:dev:
[[nixOS]]
= installing an app to the gnome menu =
add an desktop entry to ~/.local/share/applications/ for desktop entries available to a single user (look in that folder for examples)
= cron =
crontab -e to edit the cron file
cron takes 5 inputs followed by the CMD you wish to run:
* * * * * ls
min hour day month week
the above cron tag will run ls every minute of every day all the time. Hour is in 24hr format. So
00 00 * * * ~/scripts/music-pull
will run music-pull everyday at 12AM
its generally advisable to schedule these scripts at specific odd times so that they don't clash with other things
There are also other types of formats:
@reboot (i've run into trouble with this, as it is only called specifically when the computer is rebooted, not at any boot)
= ssh copy =
to copy your ssh key to a new computer run
ssh-copy-id <user@server>
= ssh config =
the ssh config file is truly versatile
= hamachi =
stop: /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi stop
start: /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start
