rsync with ssh

Setup rsync from laptop to a remote server.
To get this done, I followed the steps described in http://www.jdmz.net/ssh/

The commands that I used:
rsync -avz -e ssh Documents/gnupg-data/ jan@www.jankester.com:/home/jan/backup_rsync
ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f .ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key

added entry in commands in authorized keys remote
added validate-rsync script on remote under /home/jan/cron

Test again whether new key works
rsync -avz -e ssh -i /home/jan/.ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key Documents/gnupg-data/ jan@www.jankester.com:/home/jan/backup_rsync

Now add a script to sync anything you like /home/jan/cron/backup-ewing-on-vs01-05.sh:

#!/bin/sh

RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
KEY=/home/jan/.ssh/ewing_ssh_rsync_key
RUSER=jan
RHOST=www.jankester.com
RPATH=/home/jan/backup_rsync

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/gnupg-data
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/.ssh
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/ssh
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/vnc
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/technical_tips
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/Documents/personal
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

LPATH=/home/jan/.bash*
$RSYNC -azv -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH

Add parameter --delete to make sure that deleted files on the server also get deleted on the remote backup host.

When connecting to samba share, add parameter --modify-window=10, and use instead of -azv the combinaition -rtzv.

Interactive selenium testing

The problem Location of elements When I started using selenium, I noticed that it is not easy to do it right. First you start with IDE, but you notice, that the IDE does not really record a lot. In a next step I added firebug, and started analyzing how the elements where to be located: either by tag, id, class etc. Junit testcase With this information I could then create my junit testcase: @Test public void testMapView() throws Exception { //assert that we cannot see submenu of MapCreator elem = driver.findElement(By.className(SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU)); String style = elem.getAttribute("style"); assertTrue("Element must have style display off.",style.matches("display: none.*")); logger.debug("Located element " + SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU); //find menu and click on mapview elem = driver.findElement(By.id(SeleniumConstants.MAP_CONTROL)); actions.moveToElement(elem).click().perform(); //assert su...

Create a groovy console and bind to selenium

Required groovy files In the previous posting we defined the pom file that we need for our build environment. Now we will setup some groovy files to get selenium and groovy running interactively. ConsoleWaiter.groovy The idea of Groovy Console I found on some other sides. Honour goes for instance too: http://josefbetancourt.wordpress.com/tag/eclipse-2/ I copied some code of this, and put it under src/test/groovy/com/jankester/selenium/test/utils: package com.jankester.selenium.test.utils /** * File: ConsoleWaiter.groovy */ import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.ui.Console; /** * Provides a wrapper for the console. * * Based on source by John Green * Adapted from: http://www.oehive.org/files/ConsoleWaiter.groovy * Released under the Eclipse Public License * http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * * I added methods to allow use from Java. * * The run() method launches the console and causes this thread * to sleep until the console's window is closed....
