Shell Script Version of Server Scanner

Posted by: Sterling Hamilton In: Code

Alrighty then - I have taken the PHP script I wrote to do this and converted it to a Shell script so it would be faster.
It’s prettier…because it has colors now - or a function that helps me produce colors anyway!
Right now it’s still really simple code.
The most complicated bits about it are the regular [...]

Well then use this bad boy:

#!/bin/bash

Server Scanner…woh

Posted by: Sterling Hamilton In: Code

So remember Joomla Scanner? OF COURSE YOU DO!
Anyway…I’ve extended it.
Now it detects the VirtueMart component and version…AND XCart.
With the way this script is going…I might just start writing a little program that is a little more robust.
Something that asks for what you want it to check for…and also has the ability to check for updates [...]

Example Output:

PHPList: Processed E-mail Counter

Posted by: Sterling Hamilton In: Code

Here’s a little something I wrote at work today.
Basically we charge per e-mail sent out using PHPList.
Until now we have not been keeping track of who is sending out what and thus we haven’t been billing accordingly. I decided to fix that!
So below is a script that will be run at the beginning of every [...]

About

Hi, You’ve found my website, well done!

I’m a web designer and an all round geek, hence the funky website. I live in Reno and work in Carson City with a great group of web developers.

I’d describe myself as quiet, shy and simply a nice guy - but I’d be lying. But one can try right? I like my music rocking, my tea hot, and my shoes custom, as well as my daily dose of caffeine, gaming and technology.

I rock green eyes, curly brown hair which I tend to keep on the long side, and a complexion that can be illustrated with a blank sheet of paper. I dress business casual most of the time or just casual and I drive the most generic car on the planet.
