PHP 5.2.17 on CentOS 5.6 Final

I'm running Citrix Xen Server and have a 5.6 VM. However, the PHP that's on CentOS 5.6 is currently 5.1.x. Here's a script that downloads and installs the required packages to run PHP 5.2.17 (I need 5.2.17 because I'm running Wordpress 3.0.6.

Removing leading zero using awk

Had to extract data from rrdtool and feed it to Zabbix. Problem was I kept getting leading zero variables. This removes any leading zero:

rrdtool fetch lighttpd.rrd AVERAGE -s -60s \
| grep -v nan \
| grep -v Requests \
| awk '{printf "%d",$2}' \
| awk '{print $1 + 0}'

to test it yourself:

echo 000000105 | awk '{ print $1 + 0}'

Look for folders with world write bit on

$FIND $DIRNAME -xdev -perm +o=w ! \( -type d -perm +o=t \) ! -type l -print

Look for scripts with setuid on

$FIND $DIRNAME -xdev -type f -perm +u=s -print

Find all superuser accounts

grep -v -E "^#" /etc/passwd | awk -F: '$3 == 0 { print $1}'

Delete old files on lighttpd cache

find ${CROOT} -type f -mtime +${DAYS} -delete

rename files to lowercase

lowercase=$(echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'])

Delete even/odd lines on a text file

sed ‘0~2d’ -i file

Count number of files in each directory

find -type f -execdir pwd \; | sort | uniq -c

Perl to the rescue... again

Search and replace multiple files:

perl -pi -w -e 's/WU/WU2/g;' *.xml
