posted message: GNU/Linux Tip of the Day: Using the `watch` utility will allow you to run a command at a set interval. For instance, say you need to check the status of a process and you were using `ps -aux`. You could do `watch -n 2 'ps -aux | grep PID'` and the grep you issued would repeat every 2 seconds since we defined a 2 second interval with -n.

Example: `nohup php script.php &` will run the script.php file as a background process while making sure there are no interruptions.

posted message: Cool GNU Linux Tip for Today: Configure NTP on your system to synchronize your time. There are only 4 steps to do this. First install ntp "yum -y install ntp". Second synchronize NTP to a defined server "ntpdate pool.ntp.org". Next start the ntpd service "service ntpd start". Lastly, make it so ntpd starts after each reboot "chkconfig ntpd on". You can find a tutorial here: http://www.devblog.co/configure-ntp-network-time-protocol-to-synchronize-your-system-clock/

posted message: Cool GNU Linux Tip for Today: Customize your VIM editor by adding a tree explorer. The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform simple filesystem operations. To install: Put NERD_tree.vim in ~/.vim/plugin and NERD_tree.txt in ~/.vim/doc. For more information click here: http://bit.ly/s3US
