Log4Tailer 2.0 released with SSH tailing capabilities

Huy Tran — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:15:44 +0000

Log4Tailer 2.0 http://code.google.com/p/log4tailer/ has just been released. It has been a month of some thought and testing the feasability of including tailing over SSH, and this release provides just that. It will open the door for a range of more features to control remote logs scattered across a network from a single terminal, instead of having multiple terminals or windows opened. As always, the project provides a nice pdf UserGuide explaining the ssh tailing capabilities of log4tailer.

So how do you shutdown or reboot Ubuntu Linux from a terminal or a shell prompt? If GUI is working you can always click on a Quit button. If GUI is not working or if you are working remotely over ssh type the following command:

To shutdown / poweroff Ubuntu Linux

Type the command:

sudo halt

sudo shutdown -h now

sudo shutdown -r now

sudo init 6

To reboot Ubuntu Linux

Type the command:

sudo reboot

More information can be found about these two commands by typing following commands (man page):

man reboot
man shutdown

using traceroute on ubuntu terminal

The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets. Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you’re having network connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming from along the route.

open a terminal and enter:
1. sudo apt-get install traceroute (to install the packages you need)
2. traceroute domain or IP
For further information enter man traceroute.
