  @matteo-nunziati said in bash script help splitting string: try this: # initializing agi variables declare -a array while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do array=(` echo "$ARG" | sed -e 's/://'`) export ${array[0]}=${array[@]:1} #next added line for debug only. comment this out in prod. echo "${array[0]}=${array[@]:1}" done if you want to "slice" an array use the syntax: ${array[@]:from:to}, not providing the 'to' arg means go up to the end of array. source here. Almost right. Because of the export command parsing spaces, I needed to stick it in a variable first. # Variable to hold the details for the log file DUMPARG=" Begin Argument dump:\n" # Create an Array to hold the results of the loop declare -a array # Loop through the AGI variables while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do # Dump them into an array, after removing the : array=(` echo $ARG | sed -e 's/://'`) # take the array and create a variable from the first element put the rest as the value # value must be put into a holding variable to parse correctly by the export command val=${array[@]:1} export ${array[0]}="$val" # Dump them into a string for the log file DUMPARG="$DUMPARG $ARG\n" done

  Since you are connected to the printer via USB. Disable plug and play. And then delete all those extra printers.

  @stacksofplates said in Looking to Buy a SAN: I went to a Dr's office before my surgery and the hospital has a giant network where they can give you results and everything through their app/web portal. We have that too. Our results and your records are available in our patient portal - a website, no app at this time. The dr I went to literally said "oh we don't use apps here" and they required the hospital to fax them the information. It took like 3 weeks to get the info to them because they kept screwing up. There may be people out there that like the offices that are like that but I'm definitely not one of them. We're not that bad, no where near. We have access to a local system called NeHII - it's a health interchange between all Nebraska hospital system - and it's an opt-out system for the patients (and you're barely made aware of it when visiting a hospital or any affiliated clinical office). Additionally, since my providers have privileges to almost all of the local health systems around town, our staff have direct access to those medical records systems to pull data without needing to make a request and waiting on whatever form of data transfer might happen. Of course, that said, the data is typically extracted as a PDF and uploaded as such to our EHR, so no discreet data, but at least we generally have fast access to it.

  @dbeato said in Web filtering for SMB: I have continued to use Untangle, Pi-Hole and Yes NGFW as well. So it depends what you want to use, if DNS you know people can circumvent them outright but it is all up to you. He said his goal was accidents. DNS filtering is perfect for accidents.

  @tjatwood109 said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @scottalanmiller Thanks - I will proceed without using ZFS - I prefer hardware RAID. Tim ZFS is perfectly fine with hardware RAID, if you like ZFS' features otherwise (like zsend is nice) then there's no reason to avoid it. If you don't plan to use any unique features, then XFS is my "go to" choice by default. Very fast, very stable.

  @Dashrender said in Remote Access for home user: @manxam said in Remote Access for home user: @fuznutz04 : Keep an eye out for the "hidden" hibernate that doesn't show up under "Plan settings" (only sleep and display). I've seen multiple systems that have "Hibernate after" configured under "Sleep" in the advanced settings as default. There's also the problem where some systems become broken and once a system goes to sleep, it will continue going to sleep no matter what after something like 2 mins of non use. Rebooting fixes it, until it goes to sleep again... there is a fix somewhere in these threads too, reg fix. Hahah, yeah. I was part of that thread too having been bit by it myself. Thankfully I haven't seen that behaviour in over a year.

  OK, we have success! Steps to resolve: On the DC I was having issues with at the main site, I stopped the KDC Service (Kerberos Key Distribution Center Service) Then I ran this: NETDOM RESETPWD /Server: <Domain Controller Name> /UserD:<Domain Admin Username> /PasswordD:<Domain Admin Password> Rebooted the server. After this, all of the strange event viewer errors in the DNS log, AD log, etc were gone. I can now successfully replicate across sites as well as join PCs to the domain. I'm not sure why this happened in the first place, but this fixed it. Thanks for all the help!

  Windows Failover Clustering... what are your views and why?

  @Jimmy9008 said in Windows Failover Clustering... what are your views and why?: The point of the CSV was that as we increase our proprietary tool over the next few years, there is room to do so. If that space is full of data that doesn't need HA, we have lost the opportunity to use it. I'm in camp 2 on this. It is a waste to use the space when it is not needed. It was not engineered to be used any other way Just because you can do something (option 1) does not mean you should. People wanting option 1 are just being lazy. Fuck that. Do as @scottalanmiller suggested and get the stakeholders to officially sign off on changing the budget expansion cost to be used now instead. Do not let this just be a conversation. Put it in writing. The lazy people will back down.

  @Dashrender said in Is RDP viable practice for LAN remote session?: @AshKetchum said in Is RDP viable practice for LAN remote session?: Is RDP viable practice for LAN remote session? I know RDP is a big NO over internet, but is it a good security practice to use RDP in LAN? Jumping from one server to another using RDP is quick and easy. Curious - What OS are you going to use this for? This is for use on the LAN. Really any reasonable use case is just fine.

  @IRJ said in encrypted email options?: Another advantage is that you control the data until they download. Which means you can set links that expire or remove content at anytime. Could the user have downloaded it, sure. However, you control the full delivery process and can actually remove access at anytime. An email will sit in their inbox forever. Well, think of the email as having been downloaded and now they are the same. In either case, if the patient automatically downloads everything and just leaves it somewhere, it's just there forever. In both cases, you don't care.

  @Dashrender said in MSTP with multiple instances - Yea or Nay: @notverypunny said in MSTP with multiple instances - Yea or Nay: @scottalanmiller said in MSTP with multiple instances - Yea or Nay: Are the VLANs needed? What are they for? Traffic isolation / functional separation / security. Servers / Management / endpoints / VDI / Wifi / telephony etc etc etc One would ask if any of those are needed today? Functional separation I could see if you have two desperate networks but need to use a single ethernet fabric. I have that, my Guest WiFi has it's own firewall and own internet connection, yet we share the APs. it's on it's on VLAN with no routes between prod and guest. But on the prod side, in a LANLess world, is that really needed? Of course, few of us likely actually have LANLess set ups. Skimming through the LANLess explanation @travisdh1 posted a while back, I think we're somewhat a mashup of it and segmentation. Some of the VLANs in question are end-point only and as such the security isn't as tight as the ones that are used in the server-room / data center functions. If I were designing something from scratch, LANLess would certainly be something to consider, but since this is far from a new build, I doubt I could start to justify the headaches that changing VLANs and IP addressing would entail. To come back around to my initial question, can anyone point me to any pros / cons with regards to having multiple instances of spanning tree given that we no longer have 2 devices acting as root bridges?

  @scottalanmiller said in Recovering SQL Server 2005 Databases: We got a 2008 R2 that we tracked down. And they were able to get backup files rather than the original database files only, so looking like it will be much easier. Good news, much less pain than having to deal with mounting on 2005 and then backup/restore to current.
