Ultimate Fedora Kickstart - Richii.com

Always Fresh, Always Chewy. I recently decided to re-install Fedora. 19 on my Thinkpad W530. I thought it would be worthwhile documenting the steps and using a kickstart server (in this case running Centos. 6) to be able to replicate the build in the future – for example when Fedora 20 is released – and for kickstarting other devices. Sure, it’s now possible to upgrade Fedora between releases using FedUp. Fedora Kickstart – Installation Sources. Fedora Kickstart – DNS Dependences. Old format: keyboard us.

Using flock to ensure only one instance of a script can run - Richii.com
http://www.richii.com/using-flock-ensure-one-instance-script-can-run
Always Fresh, Always Chewy. Using flock to ensure only one instance of a script can run. Whilst browsing, I came across the following post. From Randall Schwartz of Perl and FLOSS Weekly. 8220;flock” is one of those utilities I’ve not used very much, but if you want to create a script and ensure that only a single instance of it can run at any one time then this is a really neat utility. No lock or PID files to mess with, no “ps -ef grep” type of scripting to incorporate. Flock -n -x 200. 28 August, 2013.
