Linux - Add a File extension to files without one

Linux – Add a File extension to files without one

I’m in the middle of upgrading some Linux servers (Debian, Ubuntu) to a version that includes Apache 2.4. The config files and symlinks that are present in many of these have no extension. This is how to add .conf to the symlinks in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled in a jiffy… cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ find . -not -name "*.*" -print0 |xargs -0 file |sed 's/:.*//' |xargs -I % mv % %.conf Note add…

Deploying Firefox v35.0 in the Enterprise vs Macintosh

I’ve used CCK for a while with great success at locking down preferences for firefox on both the Mac and PC platforms at my workplace. Recently though things have gotten very confusing as the development team has moved the location that you should place /distribution/bundles/.
