Whaaw! light weight media player

Description : Whaaw! Media Player is a lightweight media player that supports fullscreen
            : mode, seeking, changing video colour settings and more. It will play any audio
            : or video files that GStreamer can play. It is intended to be a basic media
            : player without any GNOME dependencies.

So, this is light weight media player with not too many features but does good as a simple media player.

To install:

ncurses based eFTE editor – programmers lightweight editor

nefte is a lightweight programmers editor. Here is descriptioin:

Description : eFTE is an advanced programmers editor with goals of being lightweight, yet
            : totally configurable. Support for user defined programming languages, menu
            : systems and key bindings are provided with many common defaults already
            : defined. eFTE is still a new project, however, we extend from the FTE editor
            : which was first released in 1995, so eFTE is tried and true with many features
            : for the programmer/text editor.
            : 
            : This package contains nefte, the ncurses version of the editor.

And to install:

nomacs – light weight image viewer

To install:

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      sudo yum install nomacs
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

nomacs is a very light weight viewer for images with some fetures that you find useful (rotate image,
crop and see in 1:1. Not too much features but definately very light weight and good for daily use.

Description : nomacs is image viewer based on Qt4 library.

nomacs is small, fast and able to handle the most common image formats.

Additionally it is possible to synchronize multiple viewers

running on the same computer or via LAN is possible.

It allows to compare images and spot the differences

e.g. schemes of architects to show the progress).

Search CVE – web interface with php

So, last few weeks have been very busy with lot of security issues, so I thought of having a local CVE Search app. But all I could find on google and github.com were on python and nothing that I could use quickly. So here is link to one that I wrote quickly:

CVE Search PHP

It’s in php. So just download in some folder and access from a web-server and you are done.

Multiple entry in .ssh/config file

Here is a link to one post on ssh config file.

However, if you want entries for lot of servers with their IPs or names, then it could be cumbersome to add all the entries in the .ssh/config file. So, here is a shortcut notation:

Host 1 2 3 4 5 6
Hostname 192.168.1.%h
    User 
    
    Ciphers arcfour

where '%h' denotes the IP that you use in the ssh command.

The following escape character substitutions will be performed:
             ‘%d’ (local user's home directory), ‘%h’ (remote host name), ‘%l’ (local host name),
              ‘%n’ (host name as provided on the command line), ‘%p’ (remote port),
              ‘%r’ (remote user name) or ‘%u’ (local user name).

nice little bash function to search for running processes

Here is a nice little handy function that I use very regurlarly.

You can use this function with parameter to just grep for that or just type psa to see all the running processes.

Just put this in your .bashrc file.

You might find it useful:

psa () 
{ 
    if [[ $1 == "" ]]; then
        ps -eaf;
    else
        ps -eaf | grep --color=auto -i $1;
    fi
}

nall – schedule your tasks like a pro

nall is a utility to run your scripts ( for whatever ) every defined period. Here is description:

Description : Nall is a small gtk+ application that discretely fits into your freedesktop

system tray (such as trayer).

Its purpose is to spawn periodically every kind of script and display a

one-line output in the tooltip window. The main usage of nall is monitoring or

just notifying of almost everything (it just depends upon your imagination and

ability to script).
