LINUX Move and copy files using SSH

Often you will need to move one or more files/folders or copy them to a different location. You can do so easily using an SSH connection. The commands which you would need to use are mv (short from move) and cp (short from copy).
The mv command syntax looks like this:
mv configuration.php-dist configuration.php
By issuing the above command we will move (rename) the file configuration.php-dist to configuration.php.
You can also use mv to move a whole directory and its content:
mv includes/* ./
This will move all files (and folders) in the includes/ directory to the current working directory.
In some cases however, we will need to only update the files and move only files that were changed, which we can do by passing ‘-u’ as argument to the command:
mv -u includes/* admin/includes
The copy (cp) command works the same way as mv, but instead of moving the files/folders it copies them. For example:
cp configuration.php-dist configuration.php
The command will copy the configuration.php-dist file to configuration.php and will preserve the original file (the file will NOT be removed after it is copied).
cp also accepts various arguments:
cp -R includes/ includes_backup/
-R instructs cp to copy files recursively (for example, a whole directory). To overwrite already existing files you should use the -f argument:
cp -Rf includes/ admin/includes/A more convenient way to copy files/folders is to use a 3rd party application, such as Midnight Commander. All our servers have mc (midnight commander) installed and it is available by executing the appropriate (mc) command using the command prompt. Once inside the application you will see two sections - left and right. You can easily copy/move files from the left side directory to the right side using a semi-visual approach. You can even use your mouse to select files and function keys to execute commands.

C++ How to use Date and Time

The C++ standard library does not provide a proper date type. C++ inherits the structs and functions for date and time manipulation from C. To access date and time related functions and structures, you would need to include <ctime> header file in your C++ program. There are four time-related types: clock_t, time_t, size_t , and tm . The types clock_t, size_t and time_t are capable of representing the system time and date as some sort of integer. The structure type tm holds the date and time in the form of a C structure having the following elements: struct tm { int tm_sec ; // seconds of minutes from 0 to 61 int tm_min ; // minutes of hour from 0 to 59 int tm_hour ; // hours of day from 0 to 24 int tm_mday ; // day of month from 1 to 31 int tm_mon ; // month of year from 0 to 11 int tm_year ; // year since 1900 int tm_wday ; // days since sunday int tm_yday ; // days since January 1st int tm_isdst ; // hours of daylight savin...

Lambda Function with Amazon SNS

Amazon SNS is a service used for push notification. In this chapter, we will explain working of AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS with the help of an example where will perform the following actions − Create Topic in SNS Service and use AWS Lambda Add Topics to CloudWatch Send SNS text message on phone number given. Requisites To create Topic in SNS Service and use AWS Lambda Add Topics to CloudWatch, we need not follow the steps given below − Create Topic in SNS Create Role for permission in IAM Create AWS Lambda Function Publish to topic to activate trigger Check the message details in CloudWatch service. To send SNS text message on phone number given, we need to do the following − Add code in AWS Lambda to send message to your phone. Example In this example, we will create a topic in SNS. When details are entered in the topic to publish, AWS Lambda is triggered. The topic details are logged in CloudWatch and a message is sent on phone by AWS Lambda. Here is a basic block diagram which...

Lambda Function with Amazon DynamoDB

DynamoDB can trigger AWS Lambda when the data in added to the tables, updated or deleted. In this chapter, we will work on a simple example that will add items to the DynamoDB table and AWS Lambda which will read the data and send mail with the data added. Requisites To use Amazon DB and AWS Lambda, we need to follow the steps as shown below − Create a table in DynamoDB with primary key Create a role which will have permission to work with DynamoDBand AWS Lambda. Create function in AWS Lambda AWS Lambda Trigger to send mail Add data in DynamoDB Let us discuss each of this step in detail. Example We are going to work out on following example which shows the basic interaction between DynamoDB and AWS Lambda. This example will help you to understand the following operations − Creating a table called customer in Dynamodb table and how to enter data in that table. Triggering AWS Lambda function once the data is entered and sending mail using Amazon SES service. The basic block diagram that ...
