Secure an Excel workbook with a password

To allow only authorized users to view or modify your data, you can help secure your entire workbook file with a password. 1. On the File menu, click Save As 2. On the Tools menu, click General Options. 3. Do either or both of the following:
    • If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
    • If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
 Note   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security,...

Change MySQL root Password

Change MySQL root Password

Method #1: Use mysqladmin command to change root password

If you have never set a root password for MySQL server, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root. To setup root password for first time, use mysqladmin command at shell prompt as follows: $ mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD However, if you want to change (or update) a root password, then you need to use the following command: $ mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password newpass For example, If the old password is abc, you can set the new password to 123456, enter:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p'abc' password '123456'

Method #2: Changing MySQL root user password using mysql command

Delete Files Older Than x Days on Linux

Delete Files Older Than x Days on Linux The find utility on linux allows you to pass in a bunch of interesting arguments, including one to execute another command on each file. We’ll use this in order to figure out what files are older than a certain number of days, and then use the rm command to delete them.   Command Syntax
find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;
Note that there are spaces between rm, {}, and \; Explanation
  • The first argument is the path to the files. This can be a path, a directory, or a wildcard as in the example above. I would recommend using the full path, and make sure that you run the command without the exec rm to make sure you are getting the right results.
  • The second argument, -mtime, is used to specify the number of days...
