To get your email working on your raspberry pi, First thing that you should probably do is to set up outgoing emails from your RPi. The easiest way to do so is with ssmtp.
Install ssmtp:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
Next configure the ssmtp client to send emails using your ISP, open up the file /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file and make the changes as suggested below:

This will put the excel sheet in Formula auditing mode and hence all the cells will show the formula rather than the values which will make it easier to audit them. Hope that helps.
If you already have some mail in your maildir and you have set procmail filters, then it is difficult to apply the procmail filter, right? Not so, you just need to go to the Inbox directory and then execute the command.
for i in *; do cat $i|procmail; rm -f "$i"; done
This will pass all of your e-mail through procmail again and then your filters will get applied. Mails will go to their appropriate directory and you will be one happy man, I hope.

data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
and whenever you need to get the notepad, just open this bookmark. Sorry, I do not remember, where I got this from, but this is something that I did not discover but since I do not remember where I got this from, I am not able to credit the authour.

You can give the debugfile as any file, where you would want to log the debug messages. This will log a lot of information in the debugfile, you can open the file, once you have got the error in the main vim window. After this, you can open the debugfile and simply search for the error that you were getting. Just look for the reason why this error is originated in the debug logs and then it should be pretty simple to fix that.

sudo yum install MAKEDEV
This will create some default Ramdisk’s in the “/dev” directory. Now, if you need to change anything then feel free to go to “/etc/makedev.d” and feel free to change these files.

For a long time I have not posted any script. So, its not that I have not written anything new, but just that did not put them here in lack of time. So, here is one interesting one. The original idea came from one posted in one of the interesting blog here. But the problem with this one was that for every time, it ran in the cron, it would make multiple entries in the “last” output (about 10 or more with my modifications for differentiating between solaris and Linux). This is something which is not quite desirable. Hence I came up with this script which is based on html template and hence the output is also easier to manipulate. BTW, just the below script will not help, you would need to download the template files as well. In the list.txt file, you will have to put the usename, password and the server IP to monitor. The server could be any Linux or Solaris host.
