Welcome to the Bodge-it Wiki
Bodge IT and scarper.

If you can't do it right. Bodge it.

But first, try to do it right!

Idiomatic IT
Basically there are loads of things in IT which are either the same problem, or slight variations on cases.

Hence this is a partly a project to capture as many of those that apply to my circumstances as possible.

log a message to the system log log a message to the console open a file and loop the contents retrieve a web page write out a blob to a file loop case/swtich conditionals splitting strings to arrays joining arrays to strings step debug each line

Transparency, accountability, and seeing wtf is going on
typically this involves being able to launch some application under a debugger, or in some instrumented fashion

Inspection

Configuration management is a key tool to provide transparancy and accountability;

Chef

Source Code Management
Git Github Subversion

Java Application Servers
JVM Options

Glassfish

@todo make notes on getting a heap/thread dump

what is the over head to run with 9009 or some debugging port?

WTF?
So basically most tutorials go through the different options explaining how they can be used

This is meant to turn things around and provide solutions to some common scenarios

rewritingURLs Linux specific tools

Inotify

Iptables

OpenSSH
