What was I doing when it occurred:
I have configured *.info to be treated as an INI file. I have a file named filename.info open for editing.
I don't know when the exception error message first appeared, but as soon as I noticed it I sent this debug information. As a result, I'm not sure what I was doing when the exception happened.

Kill the processes and back-up accounts before removing

Remove Linux user accounts

I killed the processes and backed-up old accounts on the Peregrine UAT server 10.3.28.44. You can find tarballs for the home folders of all removed accounts on Peregrine UAT at:

10.3.28.44:/root/bak/deleted/users

To remove accounts safely I did the following:

  1. Lock the account.

Clone a MySQL database to a new database on the same server without using a dump file. This is much faster than using mysqldump.

DBPASS="";

Find Windows processes listening on a port

Windows processes listening on a port

These examples assume you are using Windows 7 and have Cygwin installed with the awk package.

This single command will identify the process listening on port "2222" by feeding netstat output into tasklist using gawk.

netstat -aon | gawk ' $2~/:2222/ { system("tasklist /svc /FI \"PID eq " $5 "\"") } '

Resize a Hard Disk for a Virtual Machine

Our Virtual Machines are provisioned using Vagrant from a Linux base box to run using VirutalBox. If the Hard Disk space runs out and you cannot remove files to free-up space, you can resize the Hard Disk using some VirtualBox and Linux commands.

Some assumptions

The following steps assume you've got a set-up like mine, where:

How to persist file system permissions for web applications.

The writable files and folders for web applications often require specific user, group and permission masks to persist, even when new files and sub-folders are added by users or the application itself.

For example, permissions might need to be:

File mode
