This is a release of all old code which I found on my harddrive, related to many different projects and of different age and quality. Feel free to browse, download and use all of the code on this site. I would appreciate a backlink, but this is no must.

The code has been compressed with 7zip.

Code

1. Google Analytics Batchpatcher

This is  an application written in Ruby, and designed with a GUI Builder (foxGUIb) based on FxRuby.  It has been processed with Erik Veenstras & Cowlibob's Rubyscript2exe to create an executable package ready to run on systems without Ruby (which should be the most).

It's purpose is to patch a lot of HTML files simultaneously, inserting code (it must not necessarily be Google Analytics code) just before the <\body> closing tag.

Usage

Select the work directory (preferably a copy of your live files!) using the directory browser on the right by double clicking. The folder selected will be shown on top. The Application will automatically recurse in subdirectories.

Set the file filters (the last one allows you to set an arbitrary extension). The default selected ones are .html and .htm

Enter the code you want to be patched in under "Google Analytics code". This can be any kind of code.

Hit "Patch!", and be patient – especially for large file sets. After the application has finished processing your request, you can see what has been processed in "Output".

The application will search for some "magic strings" to ensure that the file has not already been patched / incorporates Google Analytics code. This will only work for the old Google Analytics code, it will patch in copies of other code every time you run it. Unfortunately, this "magic strings" will not work for the newest version of Google Analytics code.

Known Bugs and Problems

• Apparently it hits UAC when you start it in Windows 7 (perhaps because it has a directory listing component?)
• The application will seem to hang on a very large fileset, it will update the progress output only after processing all files.
• There is no "dry run" option – once you hit "Patch!" the application starts processing
• "Umlauts (ä ö ü)" will display incorrectly in the log output, but they will be processed (this is probably a limitation in Ruby's handling or rather lack of handling of UTF-8)
• With the newest version of Google Analytics code, this tool can't recognize if a file already includes the code – and would patch it twice. Use a tool like HD Search and Stats to find these files.

Download

• google-analytics-batchpatcher (EXE, for Windows)
• google analytics batch patcher source (7z, includes foxGUIb and rubyscript2exe under their respective licenses!)

2. Miscellaneous Ruby scripts

Somebody may find a useful approach to some problem here. Remove the .txt extension before using the file, it is just for download purposes.

• removecuesheet.rb
  Interacts with Foobar to remove cuesheets from APE (Monkey audio) files
• addcuesheet.rb
  Adds cuesheets to APE (Monkey audio) files using Foobar. You need to edit the script to provide the correct location of Foobar for instance.
• htmlnuke.rb
  Deletes all html files in the folder it is run in
• killindexhsub.rb
  Deletes all index*.html / index*.htm files in the folder it is run in and all subfolders of it recursively
• timer.rb
  Plays a sound file every 30 seconds using the Windows32 API (that's the interesting part I got off some Ruby website!)
• ruby.ebutcher
  This script reads a webpage (which you would need to set up and modify the script accordingly), and monitors the running processes in your (Windows) system. On start it kills all "offending" processes immediately, later it waits for a random time before killing or freezing the processes. The tool needed to do this is included (its the one by SysInternals, thanks!)
  It is intended to serve as a crude "babysitting" tool, which does not give itself away too easily.

Wir sind dazu bereit, den nächsten Schritt zu gehen und die Verwaltung des Webservers von manuell auf semi-manuell umzustellen.

Unser Mailsystem wird nach wie vor vom Websystem abgekoppelt laufen – auf Zimbra-Basis.

Für den Webserver selber rüsten wir eine Server Management Software nach. Sie muß einen typischen LAMP Server unterstützen (Linux – Debian / Apache / MySQL / PHP)

Hier sind die Kandidaten:

1. SysCP

   Gut dokumentiert, aktive Community, interessanter Funktionsumfang (inklusive Resellern die ihre Kunden selbst administrieren können usw.), deutsches User Interface verfügbar.

   Natürlich Open Source.

2. Kloxo / HyperVM

   Interessant für unser Setup (OpenVZ, mehrere VPMs, …); allerdings evtl. nur auf englisch und massiver Overkill. Es heißt, dass es als Open Source released wurde, jedoch ist auf der Firmenseite etwas von Lizenzkosten die Rede …

3. http://www.virtualmin.com/

   Virtualmin ist eine weitere Möglichkeit. Hier sticht ebenfalls keine Sprachunterstützung heraus, das System ist komplex und deckt z.B. detaillierte CPU Leistung usw. Statistiken ab.

   Unterstützt einen hohen Grad von Sicherheit bei PHP – die Prozesse werden unter dem jeweiligen User ausgeführt, mit suexec und mod_fastcgi. Siehe auch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmin

4. OpenLSM

   Eine indische Software mit einer schönen, aber leider nicht so informativen Webseite. In der Feauture Liste schaut das Produkt gut aus – Anlegen von Resellern, Monitoring, … Unterstützt auch Subversion.

5. VHCS

   Obwohl auf anderen Seiten behauptet wird, dass das Projekt tot sei, ist es nicht so. Die Jungs arbeiten gerade an Release 2.6, der Web 2.0 in VHCS bringen soll. Das Interface schaut übersichtlich und aufgeräumt aus.

6. OpenPanel

   Schaut sehr, sehr gut aus – ein JavaScript zentriertes UserInterface. Leider ist es seit Juli 2008 in Beta 0.9.5 stehen geblieben. Eine 1.0 steht fast vor der Tür – sie wird Debian 5.0 unterstützen. Definitiv einen Blick wert – auch wenn es erstmal nur in Englisch ist.
   Wird von  PanelSix entwickelt, hier ist die Doku.

Hier ist noch ein Überblick auf Wikipedia (EN).
