RHEL中yum环境设置

Ubuntu下的apt相当好用,可惜现在服务器的操作系统很少用到Ubuntu,大部分都是安装的Red Hat Enterprise Linux,RHEL的yum库要付费给Red Hat,所以需要把RHEL升级到CentOS,然后使用CentOS的免费yum库。

1.安装安全证书

rpm –import http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

2.安装release package

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.8-0.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-5-8.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

3.rpm -qa | grep yum

卸载 原有的yum

4. 装上新CentOS的yum

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm

强制安装

rpm -Uvh –nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-26.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

5.更新

yum update

至此便可以正常使用yum来管理软件包了

Linux系统下选择自己喜欢的vim配色方案

vi ~/.vimrc

加一行

colorscheme zenburn

/usr/share/vim/vim*/colors 目录下有很多配色方案,如果没有自己喜欢的方案,可以去

http://www.vim.org/search.php

搜索配色方案,下载后保存在/usr/share/vim/vim63/colors目录中或者~/.vim/colors目录中即可

如果终端用SecureCRT登陆,需要在会话选项中设置终端仿真为ANSI或者Linux,并且打开颜色方案。

The most complete list of -XX options for Java JVM

网上找到一篇JVM -XX参数大全,转载过来,如果要看某个Java版本支持哪些XX参数,可以执行如下命令:
java -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version

  • product flags are always settable / visible
  • develop flags are settable / visible only during development and are constant in the PRODUCT version
  • notproduct flags are settable / visible only during development and are not declared in the PRODUCT version
  • diagnostic options not meant for VM tuning or for product modes. They are to be used for VM quality assurance or field diagnosis of VM bugs. They are hidden so that users will not be encouraged to try them as if they were VM ordinary execution options. However, they are available in the product version of the VM. Under instruction from support engineers, VM customers can turn them on to collect diagnostic information about VM problems. To use a VM diagnostic option, you must first specify +UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions. (This master switch also affects the behavior of -Xprintflags.)
  • manageable flags are writeable external product flags. They are dynamically writeable through the JDK management interface (com.sun.management.HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean API) and also through JConsole. These flags are external exported interface (see CCC). The list of manageable flags can be queried programmatically through the management interface.
  • experimental experimental options which become available just after XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions flag is set.
  • product_rw flags are writeable internal product flags. They are like “manageable” flags but for internal/private use. The list of product_rw flags are internal/private flags which may be changed/removed in a future release. It can be set through the management interface to get/set value when the name of flag is supplied.

UseThreadPriorities Use native thread priorities true bool
ThreadPriorityPolicy 0 : Normal. VM chooses priorities that are appropriate for normal applications. On Solaris NORM_PRIORITY and above are mapped to normal native priority. Java priorities below NORM_PRIORITY” map to lower native priority values. On Windows applications” are allowed to use higher native priorities. However, with ThreadPriorityPolicy=0, VM will not use the highest possible” native priority, THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL, as it may interfere with system threads. On Linux thread priorities are ignored because the OS does not support static priority in SCHED_OTHER scheduling class which is the only choice for” non-root, non-realtime applications. 1 : Aggressive. Java thread priorities map over to the entire range of native thread priorities. Higher Java thread priorities map to higher native thread priorities. This policy should be used with care, as sometimes it can cause performance degradation in the application and/or the entire system. On Linux this policy requires root privilege. 0 intx

StackYellowPages Number of yellow zone (recoverable overflows) pages intx
StackRedPages Number of red zone (unrecoverable overflows) pages intx
StackShadowPages Number of shadow zone (for overflow checking) pages this should exceed the depth of the VM and native call stack. In the HotSpot implementation, Java methods share stack frames with C/C++ native code, namely user native code and the virtual machine itself. Java methods generate code that checks that stack space is available a fixed distance towards the end of the stack so that the native code can be called without exceeding the stack space. This distance towards the end of the stack is called “Shadow Pages”. The page size usually is 4096b, which mean that 20 pages would occupy 90Kb. See some more info on that parameter inbug 7059899 and Crash due to Stack Overflow section of “Troubleshooting System Crashes” from Oracle. Depends on machine. It’s 3 on x86, 6 on amd64, etc intx

大量DelegatingClassLoader类加载器,导致Perm区溢出

当使用Java反射时,Java虚拟机有两种方法获取被反射的类的信息。它可以使用一个JNI存取器;如果使用Java字节码存取器,则需要拥有它自己的Java类和类加载器(sun/reflect/GeneratedMethodAccessor类和sun/reflect/DelegatingClassLoader),这些类和类加载器使用本机内存。字节码存取器也可以被JIT编译,这样会增加本机内存的使用。如果Java反射被频繁使用,会显著地增加本机内存的使用。

Java虚拟机会首先使用JNI存取器,然后在访问了同一个类若干次后,会改为使用Java字节码存取器。这种当Java虚拟机从JNI存取器改为字节码存取器的行为被称为膨胀(Inflation)。Inflation机制提高了反射的性能,但是对于重度使用反射的项目可能存在隐患,它带来了两个问题:(1)初次加载的性能损失;(2)动态加载的字节码导致PermGen持续增长。幸运的是,我们可以通过一个设置-Dsun.reflect.inflationThreshold=N控制这种行为,sun.reflect.inflationThreshold会告诉Java虚拟机使用JNI存取器多少次。如果设为0,则总是使用JNI存取器。

正常情况下,在Java中类是永久存在的。所以一旦类被加载,他们将一直停留在内存中,即便其所在应用服务器端已经停止运行。像cglib这样的动态类产生库,在他们动态创建了大量类之后,会使用大量永久代内存空间。在运行时创建的代理类被广泛地使用,当单个类定义被用于产生多个实例时,创建新的代理类将会很容易。Spring和Hibernate经常产生某个类的代理,这些代理类被类加载器加载,产生的类定义从不被清理,导致永久性堆空间迅速填满。

关掉Inflation会带来一定程度上的性能损失,因此不到万不得已的情况下并不要将其关闭,sun.reflect.inflationThreshold的默认值在不同的实现版本中有不同的值,例如在IBM Developer Kit for Java 5.0 的默认值为15。可以尝试将这个值设置大一点,例如100。虽然Java中的class放在perm区中默认是不被GC的,但是我们可以指定让他也参与GC,通过打开两个参数:-XX+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX+UseConcMarkSweepGC,这样GC的时候在perm区中的垃圾class元数据也会被回收掉,从而释放perm区的内存空间。JDK8已经没有了perm区的概念,类的元数据被存放在Metaspace中,会自动进行垃圾回收,卸载掉不再使用的类。

另外需要注意的是,检查JVM启动参数中是否使用了-Xnoclassgc,如果增加了这个参数,class是不会被GC掉的,需要去掉这个参数。

40 Basic Linux Command-line Tips and Tricks

1.  Everything in Linux is a file including the hardware and even the directories.

2. # : Denotes the super(root) user

3.  : Denotes the normal user

4.  /root: Denotes the super user’s directory

/home: Denotes the normal user’s directory.

5.  Switching between Terminals

§  Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6: Console login

§  Ctrl + Alt + F7: GUI login

6.  The Magic Tab: Instead of typing the whole filename if the unique pattern for a particular file is given then the remaining characters need not be typed and can be obtained automatically using the Tab button.

7.   ~(Tilde): Denotes the current user’s home directory

8.   Ctrl + Z: To stop a command that is working interactively without terminating it.

9.  Ctrl + C: To stop a command that is not responding. (Cancellation).

10.  Ctrl + D: To send the EOF( End of File) signal to a command normally when you see ‘>’.

11.  Ctrl + W: To erase the text you have entered a word at a time.

12.  Up arrow key: To redisplay the last executed command. The Down arrow key can be used to print the next command used after using the Up arrow key previously.

13.  The history command can be cleared using a simple option –c (clear).

14.  cd :   The cd command can be used trickily in the following ways:

cd : To switch to the home user

cd * : To change directory to the first file in the directory (only if the first file is a directory)

cd .. : To move back a folder

cd – : To return to the last directory you were in

15.  Files starting with a dot (.) are a hidden file.

16.   To view hidden files: ls -a

17.   ls: The ls command can be use trickily in the following ways:

ls -lR : To view a long list of all the files (which includes directories) and their subdirectories recursively .

ls *.* : To view a list of all the files with extensions only.

18.   ls -ll: Gives a long list in the following format

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-29 05:17 bin where

drwxr-xr-x : permission where d stands for directory, rwx stands for owner privilege, r-x stands for the group privilege and r-x stands for others permission respectively.

Here r stands for read, w for write and x for executable.

2=> link count

root=>owner

root=>group

4096=> directory size

2010-04-29=>date of creation

05:17=> time of creation

bin=>directory file(in blue)

The color code of the files is as follows:

Blue: Directory file

White: Normal file

Green: Executable file

Yellow: Device file

Magenta: Picture file

Cyan: link file

Red: Compressed file

File Symbol

-(Hyphen) : Normal file

d=directory

l=link file

b=Block device file

c=character device file

19.  Using the rm command: When used without any option the rm command deletes the file or directory ( option –rf) without any warning. A simple mistake like rm / somedir instead of rm /somedir can cause major chaos and delete the entire content of the /(root) directory. Hence it is always advisable to use rm command with the –i(which prompts before removal) option. Also there is no undelete option in Linux.

20.  Copying hidden files: cp .* (copies hidden files only to a new destination)

21. dpkg -l : To get a list of all the installed packages.

23. Use of ‘ > ‘ and ‘ >> ‘ : The ‘ > ‘ symbol ( input redirector sign) can be used to add content to a file when used with the cat command. Whereas ‘ >> ‘ can be used to append to a file. If the ‘ >> ‘ symbol is not used and content is added to a file using only the ‘>’ symbol the previous content of the file is deleted and replaced with the new content.

e.g: $ touch text (creates an empty file)

$ cat >text

This is text’s text. ( Save the changes to the file using Ctrl +D)

$cat >> text

This is a new text. (Ctrl + D)

 

Output of the file:

This is text’s text.

This is a new text.

23.  To count the number of users logged in : who |wc –l

24.  cat:  The cat command can be used to trickly in the following way:

– To count no. of lines from a file : cat <filename> |wc -l

– To count no. of words from a file : cat <filename> |wc -w

– To count no. of characters from a file : cat <filename> |wc –c

25.  To search a term that returns a pattern: cat <filename> |grep [pattern]

26.  The ‘tr’ command: Used to translate the characters of a file.

tr ‘a-z’ ‘A-Z’ <text >text1 : The command for example is used to translate all the characters from lower case to upper case of the ‘text’ file and save the changes to a new file ‘text1′.

 

27.  File permission using chmod: ‘chmod’ can be used directly to change the file permission of files in a simple way by giving the permission for root, user and others in a numeric form where the numeric value are as follows:

r(read-only)=>4

w(write)=>2

x(executable)=>1

e.g. chmod 754 text will change the ownership of owner to read, write and executable, that of group to read and executable and that of others to read only of the text file.

28.  more: It is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.

Use it with any of the commands after the pipe symbol to increase readability.

e.g. ls -ll |more

29.  cron : Daemon to execute scheduled commands. Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates.

1 * * * * echo “hi” >/dev/tty1 displays the text “hi” after every 1 minute in tty1

.—————- minute (0 – 59)

| .————- hour (0 – 23)

| | .———- day of month (1 – 31)

| | | .——- month (1 – 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr …

| | | | .—– day of week (0 – 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat

* * * * * command to be executed

Source of example: Wikipedia

30.  fsck: Used for file system checking. On a non-journaling file system the fsck command can take a very long time to complete. Using it with the option -c displays a progress bar which doesn’t increase the speed but lets you know how long you still have to wait for the process to complete.

e.g. fsck -C

31.  To find the path of the commandwhich command

e.g. which clear

32. Setting up alias: Enables a replacement of a word with another string. It is mainly used for abbreviating a system command, or for adding default arguments to a regularly used command

e.g. alias cls=’clear’ => For buffer alias of clear

33.  The du (disk usage) command can be used with the option -h to print the space occupied in human readable form. More specifically it can be used with the summation option (-s).

e.g. du -sh /home summarizes the total disk usage by the home directory in human readable form.

34.  Two or more commands can be combined with the && operator. However the succeeding command is executed if and only if the previous one is true.

e.g. ls && date lists the contents of the directory first and then gives the system date.

35.  Surfing the net in text only mode from the terminal: elinks [URL]

e.g: elinks www.google.com

Note that the elinks package has to be installed in the system.

36.  The ps command displays a great more deal of information than the kill command does.

37.  To extract a no. of lines from a file:

e.g head -n 4 abc.c is used to extract the first 4 lines of the file abc.c

e.g tail -n 4 abc.c is used to extract the last 4 lines of the file abc.c

38.  Any changes to a file might cause loss of important data unknowingly. Hence    Linux creates a file with the same name followed by ~ (Tilde) sign without the recent changes. This comes in really handy when playing with the configuration files as some sort of a backup is created.

39.   A variable can be defined with an ‘=’ operator. Now a long block of text can be assigned to the variable and brought into use repeatedly by just typing the variable name preceded by a $ sign instead of writing the whole chunk of text again and again.

e.g ldir=/home/my/Desktop/abc

cp abcd $ldir copies the file abcd to /home/my/Desktop/abc.

40. To find all the files in your home directory modified or created today:

e.g. find ~ -type f -mtime 0
