Preserving Linux Shell History Even If Working with Multiple Terminals

If you are continuously running shell commands on more than one linux terminal, probably you want all of the shell (mostly bash) prompts to remember any command from any terminal. With the following environmental variables to save the .bashrc file, you can do it so.


# This is for ignoring duplicate entries
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:erasedups

# This is for large history
export HISTSIZE=102400

# This is for a big history file
export HISTFILESIZE=100000

# This is for appending commands to history file
shopt -s histappend

# This is for saving and reloading the history after each command is run
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -c; history -r; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

In this post, I am going to explain configuring multiple VLANs on a bond interface. First and foremost, I would like to describe the environment and give details of the infrastructure. The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three

PowerShell Script for Switching Between Multiple Windows

Windows PowerShell has strong capabilities. I have a separate computer with a big lcd screen in which I am watching regularly some web based monitoring applications. So I need those application windows switch between on a timely basis. Then I wrote this simple powershell script to achieve this. You can change it according to your needs.
