Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

• From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
• That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost

Welcome!

For feedback or suggestions, please send a tweet (@dideler). Gist comments don't notify me. Pull requests aren't possible with gists (yet), so I don't recommend forking because then I can't easily get the change.

Starring this gist will give me an idea of how many people consider this list useful.

Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

The promise

pid

var Module = require('module')
Module.prototype.require = function (orig) { return function (id) {
  console.trace(this, id)
  return orig.apply(this, arguments)
}}(Module.prototype.require)

require('./b.js')

<!--
This disables app transport security and allows non-HTTPS requests.
Note: it is not recommended to use non-HTTPS requests for sensitive data. A better
approach is to fix the non-secure resources. However, this patch will work in a pinch.

To apply the fix in your Ionic/Cordova app, edit the file located here:

platforms/ios/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist

And add this XML right before the end of the file inside of the last </dict> entry:

# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
#
# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.
#
# Once you're done here, go to
# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
# to learn SOOOO much more.
