Bookmarks for Automation

Link

I’ve found a couple of good links recently for automating tasks….

isup.me: Great little site for checking if a web server is up or not… you can even create bookmarks like www.isup.me/http://news.bbc.co.uk which will take you straight to the result.
icanhazip.com: This site simply responds with a plain text answer of your IP address, nice for checking if NAT and proxies are working like they should.

Cisco ACS 5.2 works in VirtualBox

My how to get ACS 5.1 running in VirtualBox is one of my more popular posts; recently I was asked if 5.2 would work, the answer is yes!

I’ve posted an updated ks.cfg … if you compare it to the old one the only real difference is an updated set of version numbers, all the other instructions are exactly the same….well, except now centos 4.7 can be found in the vault

Next I plan to see if I can make this work in EC2 as I recon a cloud based ACS server would be pretty cool, wish me luck and enjoy the 5.2 goodness!
