BUG: system-config-firewall-tui won't start in Centos 6.6

As reported in BUG 1123919 in Red Hat Bugzilla, system-config-firewall-tui (text user interface to configure firewall in RH family) also won't start in Centos 6.6 (complaining about python module): # system-config-firewall-tui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/system-config-firewall-tui", line 29, in <module> import fw_tui File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_tui.py", line 34, in <module> import fw_nm ImportError: No module named fw_nm  And, here is easy way to fix this bug: Install system-config-firewall yum -y install system-config-firewall copy file started with fw_n from /usr/share/system-config-firewall to temporary location (we use our home dir) cp /usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_n* ~ Remove system-config-firewall yum -y remove system-config-firewall Move file started with  fw_n back to /usr/share/system-config-firewall mv fw_n* /usr/share/system-config-firewall/ ...

List file / directory and show the size

Easy way to list file and sub directory within a directory and show the size, we can use du command combined with ls command. For example, in above screenshoot we know that there are 3 sub directories and 1 file under /var/www. du command will show estimate disk space usage in current directory. Above screenshoot show that the size of /var/www is 5,4 GB. Option -s (summarize) will display only a total for each argument, -h will print the result in human readable format (5,4G instead of 5559480). Now, we combine two commands ( du and ls ): Now, we know that the size of temp subdir  is 5,3G

Ping to many host/node in one command

We can use "for loop" in interactive command, here is the example: we want to ping host/node from 10.100.11. 1 until 10.100.11. 10 : We use "i" as a variable, values of "i" are 1 until 10. In the ping option, we use "-c 1" this means that we send ping packet only one (default in linux is continues until stopped). here is the result: [syam@borneo03 ~]$ for i in {1..10}; do ping 10.100.11.$i -c 1; done PING 10.100.11.1 (10.100.11.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.100.11.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.58 ms --- 10.100.11.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 1ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.587/1.587/1.587/0.000 ms PING 10.100.11.2 (10.100.11.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.100.11.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.09 ms --- 10.100.11.2 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 1ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.093/1.093/1.093/0.000 ms PING 10.100...
