I try to automate almost all things in order to save time. Inexperienced sys admin and help desk staff working under me finds all these tools useful. It saves their time and avoids security issues. Automation allows help desk staff to do things that they don't have enough direct system knowledge to do themselves. However, selecting correct tool and applying correct methodology is very important.

It is useful to find out what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. I know most people will recommend GNU gdb, Nemiver, Valgrind or IDE such as Eclipse. I use gdb when it is really required; otherwise I debug the old fashioned way using printf() or cout statements. ]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/what-do-you-use-to-debug-linux-unix.html/feed 26 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/why-did-you-switch-from-ie-internet-explorer.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/why-did-you-switch-from-ie-internet-explorer.html#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:17:26 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=4417 I was going though my server logs / Google Analytics settings and found that over 60% users are on MS-Windows. However, each and every month visitors are switching to Firefox or Google browser and so on. So I would like to know your reasons for making switch from IE to another browser. Why did you switch and which browser did you switch to?]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/why-did-you-switch-from-ie-internet-explorer.html/feed 54 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-linux-salary-potential.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-linux-salary-potential.html#comments Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:34:14 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-linux-salary-potential.html Your country / location => Your credentials => Your level of experience => Your [...]]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-linux-salary-potential.html/feed 3 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/which-nic-is-eth0.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/which-nic-is-eth0.html#comments Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:05:38 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/which-nic-is-eth0.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/which-nic-is-eth0.html/feed 10 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-hard-disks-may-shorten-lifetime.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-hard-disks-may-shorten-lifetime.html#comments Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:03:28 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-hard-disks-may-shorten-lifetime.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-hard-disks-may-shorten-lifetime.html/feed 5 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/is-linux-really-more-secure-than-windows.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/is-linux-really-more-secure-than-windows.html#comments Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:47:57 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/is-linux-really-more-secure-than-windows.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/is-linux-really-more-secure-than-windows.html/feed 6 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-filesytem-goes-read-only.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-filesytem-goes-read-only.html#comments Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:46:57 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-filesytem-goes-read-only.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-filesytem-goes-read-only.html/feed 32 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-powerpc-linux-distributions.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-powerpc-linux-distributions.html#comments Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:27:31 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-powerpc-linux-distributions.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-powerpc-linux-distributions.html/feed 4 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-block-useragent.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-block-useragent.html#comments Sun, 12 Aug 2007 13:42:10 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-block-useragent.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-block-useragent.html/feed 4 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/evolution-and-microsoft-exchange-server-2007.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/evolution-and-microsoft-exchange-server-2007.html#comments Wed, 11 Jul 2007 19:19:57 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/evolution-and-microsoft-exchange-server-2007.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/evolution-and-microsoft-exchange-server-2007.html/feed 49 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unux-disconnect-inactive-user-sessions.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unux-disconnect-inactive-user-sessions.html#comments Fri, 06 Jul 2007 04:12:14 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unux-disconnect-inactive-user-sessions.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unux-disconnect-inactive-user-sessions.html/feed 3 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/most-efficient-linux-file-system-for-laptops.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/most-efficient-linux-file-system-for-laptops.html#comments Tue, 29 May 2007 13:16:07 +0000 nixCraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/most-efficient-linux-file-system-for-laptops.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/most-efficient-linux-file-system-for-laptops.html/feed 17
