This backs up my Ubuntu VM on my Windows work machine. It works with any Virtualbox VM by passing the VM name as an argument. I hate batch.
@echo off
:: This is the name (in Virtualbox) of the VM you want to back up. Pass it as an argument or change the '%1' below to the VM name.
set vmname=%1
set bakroot=D:\VM Backups
:: Get current date - from http://stackoverflow.com/a/203116
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%a-%%b-%%c)
set /p start=The %vmname% VM is about to be backed up. Do you wish to continue (Y/[N])?

benkulbertis / pshutdown.sh
Last active December 26, 2015 17:29
This is a little bash script that will shut down the system when a process id exits. Just pass the relevant process id as an argument. It requires root/sudo to shutdown the system. The program Cuttlefish used to be able to do this but is now unmaintained. The kde program kshutdown can do this but requires a lot of dependencies on non-kde systems…
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: ./pshutdown.sh 1234
# Or: ./pshutdown.sh $(pidof -s someprocess)
pid=$1
if [ -z "$pid" ]
then
echo "This script shuts down the system when a certain process exits. Please pass a process id as an argument to shut the system down when it exits." 1>&2

benkulbertis / Image Upload Validation
Created January 11, 2011 22:13
Simple validation function to confirm that an image is actually an image, not a malicious .gif or .php file.

}
if(($upload['type'] != "image/gif" || "image/jpeg" || "image/png") || ($this->imageinfo['mime'] != "image/gif" || "image/jpeg" || "image/png"))
return "Uploads of that file type are not allowed. You need a jpg, png, or gif image.";
