Using strace and lsof to debug blocked processes

You can use strace on a specific pid to figure out what a specific process is doing, e.g.:

strace -fp <pid>

You might see something like:

select(9, [3 5 8], [], [], {0, 999999}) = 0 (Timeout)

Using the nc command you can scan a port or a range of ports to verify whether a UDP port is open and able to receive traffic.

This first command will scan all of the UDP ports from 1 to 65535 and add the results to a text file:

$ nc -vnzu server.ip.address.here 1-65535 > udp-scan-results.txt

This merely tells you that the UDP ports are open and receive traffic.

Perhaps a more revealing test would be to actually transfer a file using UDP.

Ideas for improvements to git log --graph

I will maybe someday get around to dusting off my C and making these changes myself unless someone else does it first.

Make the graph for --topo-order less wiggly

Imagine a long-running development branch periodically merges from master. The git log --graph --all --topo-order is not as simple as it could be, as of git version 1.7.10.4.

It doesn't seem like a big deal in this example, but when you're trying to follow the history trails in ASCII and you've got several different branches displayed at once, it gets difficult quickly.
