ESXi Autologin

 ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "root@192.168.1.33"
 cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@192.168.1.26 'cat >> /etc/ssh/keys-root/authorized_keys'

copy key to any machine that needs to auto login

Perl Script to search a given folder and its sub folders and extract and rar files into the directory they were found in:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Find;
use autodie;
use File::Basename;
use File::Slurp 'read_file';

my $fname = '/home/rarlist.txt';
my $rarfile_text = read_file ($fname); # grep with regular expression

# Search for RAR files

my @content;
find( \&wanted, $ARGV[0]);

open(FILE, ">> $fname");

foreach $filename (@content){
  if ($filename =~ /\.rar/)
    {
    if($rarfile_text !~ $filename) {
      print FILE "$filename\n";
      my($file, $dir, $ext) = fileparse($filename);
      print "Extracting $file to $dir\n";
      chdir $dir;
      `unrar e -u -ai -y $file`;
    }
  }
}

close(FILE);

exit;

sub wanted {
  push @content, $File::Find::name;
  return;

Configuring PMS for Playz App on LG TV

Once I had purchased the Playz App through my LG TV, I had to configure Plex to work without authentication.

The PMS Version and settings I changed are listed below, the Plex server must be on the same network/subnet/logical network segment.

• Plex Version

• Settings / Server / Connect (Show Advanced)

• Settings / Users / My Home 
• Delete all users
• Friends are ok

I then tested this on my laptop with Plex Home Theater to make sure it could connect without being logged in.

Raspberry Pi SeedBox

Installed Deluge 1.3.6 as per this post:

http://www.onepitwopi.com/raspberry-pi/installing-deluge-1-3-6-on-a-raspberry-pi/

Find External Hard Drive:

•  dmesg | grep sd

• [    4.487833] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte logical blocks: (250 GB/232 GiB)

Delete existing partitions with cfdisk 

• cfdisk /dev/sda

and create a single primary partition. Then format:

• mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

Mount it and setup automount:

1. mkdir /media/usbhdd
2. mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbhdd/
3. echo "/dev/sda1       /media/usbhdd   ext4    defaults     0       0" >>/etc/fstab

Move /var/log to external HDD

1.  /etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
2. mv log /media/usbhdd/
3. ln -s /media/usbhdd/log
4.  /etc/init.d/rsyslog start

Script to update Deluge Interface IP (/etc/network/if-up.d):

#! /bin/sh
/etc/init.d/deluge-daemon stop
oldIP=`cat /etc/network/eth0.ip`
newIP=$(ip -f inet -o addr show eth0|cut -d\  -f 7 | cut -d/ -f 1)
logger "DELUGE Updating Deluge IP Address, $oldIP -> $newIP"
sed -i -e 's/listen_interface": "'$oldIP'"/listen_interface": "'$newIP'"/g'  /root/.config/deluge/core.conf
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
    echo $newIP >/etc/network/eth0.ip
    logger "DELUGE IP BINDING SUCCESS"
    /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon start
else
    logger "DELUGE IP BINDING FAILUE"
fi

Setup folder for Deluge stuff:

1. mkdir /media/usbhdd/media
2. ln -s /media/usbhdd/media/

Install FlexGet

1. apt-get install python-pip
2. pip install flexget
3.
