I was doing some development locally and needed to change the file time on some files so I could delete certain files in a directory. Below is the code I used to change the files modified time:

$a = Get-Item C:\file-in-question.txt
$b = Get-Date "11/10/2014 8:00 AM"
$a.LastWriteTime = $b

$a = Get-Item C:\file-in-question.txt

$b = Get-Date "11/10/2014 8:00 AM"

$a.LastWriteTime = $b

Hopefully you find this as useful as I did!

Write all contents of folder to a .txt file. Helpful if you have a folder of images and need a .txt list

Get-ChildItem C:\img | ForEach-Object { $_.Name } > C:\img\ims.txt

1	Get-ChildItem C:\img \| ForEach-Object { $_.Name } > C:\img\ims.txt

Recursive find query. Super helpful to find code snippets within a local project

Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\tlwchurch" -recurse | Select-String -pattern "navigation->child_link" | group path | select name

1	Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\tlwchurch" -recurse \| Select-String -pattern "navigation->child_link" \| group path \| select name

I was tired of getting WHM email for processes that I was very much aware that were running. You can add these to the ignore file to relieve the excessive emails. Mine happened to be a php program so the syntax is as follows. Open up the file

/etc/csf/csf.pignore

1	/etc/csf/csf.pignore

and add:

cmd:/usr/bin/php /home/<user>/public_html/<yourfile>.php

1	cmd:/usr/bin/php /home/<user>/public_html/<yourfile>.php

then you just need to restart the service for your changes to take effect.

service lfd restart

1	service lfd restart

This is more of a reference for myself to come back to, but if anyone else needs the details here they are. This was for ubuntu so structure may be different depending on setup. Ensure SSL is enabled

sudo a2enmod ssl

1	sudo a2enmod ssl

Generate CSR Request (Which will create private keys and csr) in etc/ssl/private

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out www_yoururl_com.csr -keyout www_yoururl_com.key -subj "/C=Your Country/ST=Your State/L=Your City/O=Your Company/CN=www.yoururl.com"

1	openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out www_yoururl_com.csr -keyout www_yoururl_com.key -subj "/C=Your Country/ST=Your State/L=Your City/O=Your Company/CN=www.yoururl.com"

Move CSR to Certs Folder

mv www_yoururl_com.csr /etc/ssl/certs

1	mv www_yoururl_com.csr /etc/ssl/certs

Secure Copy Certificates from Desktop to server

pscp.exe C:\\yourcert.crt root@192.168.1.1:/etc/ssl/certs
pscp.exe C:\\yourbundle.crt root@192.168.1.1:/etc/ssl/certs

1 2	pscp.exe C:\\yourcert.crt root@192.168.1.1:/etc/ssl/certs pscp.exe C:\\yourbundle.crt root@192.168.1.1:/etc/ssl/certs

If you need to bundle the certs use

cat yourdomain.crt yourdomain.ca-bundle > ssl-bundle.crt

1	cat yourdomain.crt yourdomain.ca-bundle > ssl-bundle.crt

Edit VHosts for Port 443

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/yoururlcom

1	vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/yoururlcom

<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/ 
SSLEngine on 
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your_domain_name.crt 
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your_private.key 
SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/DigiCertCA.crt
</VirtualHost>

DocumentRoot /var/www/

SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your_domain_name.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your_private.key

SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/DigiCertCA.crt

</VirtualHost>

Check vhosts config

apachectl configtest (sometimes apache2ctl configtest) or service nginx configtest

1	apachectl configtest (sometimes apache2ctl configtest) or service nginx configtest

Restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart or nginx -s reload

1	/etc/init.d/apache2 restart or nginx -s reload
