@scottalanmiller that is edgeos syntax.

@scottalanmiller Yep, I just wanted to share the configuration I use as my daily driver because it makes working in the terminal that much more efficient. The OP mentioned wanting something that was a bit slicker and more powerful, and I think in addition to your choice of terminal, your choice of shell and other tools contributes to having a better experience. I prefer FISH for my shell, and tmux is my terminal multiplexor of choice. ZSH is another great alternative shell as well.

A simple restart command doesn't perform the update step, just the restart, so the update doesn't get applied.

This has been an issue for a very long time with windows. I am surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. It's really annoying

Well, at least with Win 7, a standard reboot applies updates. At least, I think it does. The main difference between Win 7 and 10, is that they have switched to the osoclient.exe to manage the updates.

I'm pretty sure server 2008 and onward had the issue. I don't remember dealing with it on workstations

I still have a 2008 R2 box and can test it on the next go 'round. I won't have it much longer, as I am dumping it prior to EOS.

LOL - Didn't make this cutoff. Next week, hopefully.

I've added this to a larger script that I use, but if you only wanted to automate the naming process the above would work for you.

Else just remove the header #!/bin/sh and add the reset to any setup scripts that you have to automate this portion of the setup.

@JaredBusch said in Using SED to replace a line with spaces:

I typically use / instead of ~ for the delimiter, looks right.

Have to use ~ because I'm adding a URL in the part that's being replaced.

Also that did work, not sure why it wasn't showing the change first time.

Thanks for the sanity check.

wait...... I skimmed. I admit..

You have to escape spaces or wrap it in quotes.

Oh it worked.. then all good. Ignore me..

I'm busy unpurging email.

@JaredBusch fair enough, I haven't used the product itself as of yet and wasn't aware it had whitelisting inside the product, if this was specific to just fail2ban then that method would be suitable, but in this case I agree with you, my mistake.

You almost had it. It should be...

find /Volumes -not -name something

@scottalanmiller said in Linux CP command - Estimate MBs:

You can use cp and see progress using a separate tool, like progress. But cp itself can't do it.

Gotcha.

Useful tools for networking!

@DustinB3403 said in CUPS Administration Job Info 1 Destination Mailbox:

While I found where OSX stores the user printer preferences, but copying a "working version of preferences" to the user workstation and directory doesn't set the preferences.

Still investigating. May require a restart when doing this remotely. . .

Full system restart or just the cups service?

Just did a full system restart and no change. While the plist file is there, and the user has owner access to it, the changes don't appear to take effect.

Not sure why.

@brianwinkelmann said in Microsoft Command Line Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

Very Very Interesting, but the most important, this Command Line Tools are useful specially when you work remotely.

Or to be ready for when you suddenly half to!

Although they make you more efficient all of the time.

It is likely obvious, but as I know that some people are searching for this information, creating administrative users in this way can be done very easily from remote command lines such as ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, MeshCentral, and so forth.

For now, just temporary disable Real-Time Protection via PowerShell
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

Download the executable and scan it manually before you install
Start-MpScan -ScanPath C:\datastore\file.exe -ScanType QuickScan

Enable Real-Time Protection after the install
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $false

Excellent, now THAT did it.

Worth noting that using rsync worked very well, but there were issues with the Outlook profile on the existing user workstation and the end result.

Not a huge issue for us as everything is stored in O365, but worth being mindful of if your email was hosted locally.

Also because of username convention changes, I had to set the ownership of the user profile to match the new shortened name.

@pmoncho said in Get Windows Version from Command Line:

No doubt. Currently working on getting Server 2019 DC, DHCP, and RDS working in a lab. A few challenges so far. Was going to try using PS to do many tasks I normally do in GUI (force myself to learn as I go) but decided to put it on the back burner due to frustration. I will get there with PS but it has to wait.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to complain about PS and how Windows has no production-level roadmap at this point and is getting worse by the day, if you are going to run Windows today, PS is how it is done. Issues with PS have only one valid purpose to discuss - to use to explain to management why Windows shouldn't be getting deployed in production workloads, or why risks with it need to be accepted. It's like the licensing issues with Windows, these things all add up to cost and risk and risk is really just cost. It's part of the "decision numbers." Beyond that, it is what it is. If the business actually knows how costly it is and still chooses it, then PS is how you manage it.

If you deploy and start without using PS, it'll be that much harder to switch later. I know the learning curve is absurd and the whole thing is so much harder than it has any purpose being, but I would bite the bullet if at all possible and learn it now. It'll just be harder later.
