Welcome to the stargard.ca website. I run a consulting company in Ottawa Canada specializing in Unix Administration.

I have extended the Linux_toolbox for AIX. You can find the RPMS and SRPMS at http://www.stargard.ca/aix.

Here's a helper script to start Eclipse on a Linux system. This was written to support Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10/10.04, and to not use the system Java SDK. eclipse.sh

Here's a script to remove old kernels from a debian based Linux system. I use it on Ubuntu. purge-kernels

You might also consider using this line to update the alternatives system to update the system java when you install Sun's version. alternatives-install.txt

There's also a couple of nice utilities I wrote to manage disks under Tru64 modelling Solaris' format command. They're at http://www.stargard.ca/tru64. The format scripts are suitable to include in a disaster recovery plan as they are able to run while booted from the installation cdrom.
