Or I can script some tools to help me.<br><br>I was meaning to script some log stuff anyways just to get an idea<br>of how often it happens. Also writing helper code to look for<br>stuff in log files is fun for me. I was thinking for ease I would wait<br>until they "roll" and access the .gz versions. Then I don't have to<br>do "last line accessed" kind of record keeping. But I am more thinking<br>I WILL access the live logs, because doing that "last line accessed"<br>record keeping is also a fun exercise.<br>

Paul SomeoneElse<p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/techpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techpost</span></a> </p><p>I use the word(s) pattern a lot when describing code where 'word' is some specific name so I don't want the plural 's' to confuse that. Writing thing(s) lets me talk about a group of thing instances using the plural w/o making the name confusing to myself.</p><p>I also obsess over whether to name something with the plural outright. This comes up a lot in table names. I tend to want to use the singular unless there's a reason not to.</p>

Amber<p>Okay, sysadmins (especially *nix) what are your favorite online tools that helped you learn syntax of things on your system? I'll start first, I never really understood cron syntax that well despite reading into it until one day hearing about <a href="https://crontab.guru/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://crontab.guru/</a> which just made it click for me. For my regular expressions this was also mostly true, I had a lot of difficulty understanding them without being able to play with them in <a href="https://regex101.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://regex101.com/</a><span>. It's less about knowing the exact syntax and more about having a visualization of what it does in my opinion. If anyone else has cool online resources like these that they'd like to share please do. (I'm going to just start my own tag for these types of posts) <br><br></span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/techpost" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#techpost</a></p>
