#Scripts
Preface
This is a collection of scripts I have collected over time...from bash/shell, python, perl to php. Using cPanel frequently gave me the idea to put these together for easy deployment and management. Some of the code I wrote, some I changed, some I didn't even edit. Normally these are smaller scripts that don't need their own repo.
Use at your own risk.
If you're unsure how to use these you should leave this page now.

checkdomainserialnumbers
This can be used to see if two different name servers have the same record or not. DNS records are tracked by the serial number that is increased each time there is an update, which is based off the date. The reason DNS servers would have different records is because of caching, this is an easy way to check.
dumpnetworkinfo
Running this script will automatically generate and output a file in the same directory with the syntax network.D-M-Y.info.txt . This is normally a script I will use to diagnose network problems at a later time, or I send it to people to generate a report on their machine to troubleshoot remotely.
chmod-copy-perms.sh
This is a simple shell script that will copy all permissions from one directory to another. You should only need this if you forget to use -p to retain permissions when copying files. Much easier to use this script than start all over and copy the files again. This script will recursively copy all permissions from one directory/file to another.
chown-copy-ownership.sh
This is a simple shell script that will copy ownership from one directory to another. You should only need this if you forget to use -p to retain permissions when copying files. Much easier to use this script than start all over and copy the files again. This script will recursively copy all ownership from one directory/file to another.
node-and-npm
Simple and quick script that will download and install the lastest version of Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) on Ubuntu/Debian. It will also add node and npm to path variable in .bashrc file.
getmemoryusage
This is a Python script that will output memory usage Per Program as a whole, which can be very useful when tracking down memory issues, leaks, etc. It's also just a lot easier way to view on a program/script basis.
mysqloptimizefragmentedtables
This script is courtesy of meinit.nl, and it will run through every table in every database and check if the table is fragmented, and only optimize if needed. Because tables are locked during optimization, you can't write to them. This prevents optmization when it's not necessary.
patchwhmcsgc
This was a script I wrote to patch WHMCS Google Checkout security vulnerability. When you have a lot of servers, with a lot of customers using WHMCS...it can be very tedious updating them all. Created a version that took list of servers to update, but simplified this one to allow users to run it on their own server when only needing to update one.
