Here's a quick bash script that I wrote to add adsense code just before the closing body tag in several accounts with the same file name. Could be modified to take the file names as the last argument if different.

Note: replace the UA-####### with your particular ID number assigned by adsense.

NFS was developed at a time when we weren’t able to share our drives like we are able to today - in the Windows environment. It offers the ability to share the hard disk space of a big server with many smaller clients. Again, this
is a client/server environment. While this seems like a standard service to offer, it was not always like this. In the
past, clients and servers were unable to share their disk space.

Allows for easy sharing of internet connection to an internal network with dynamic IP range.

1. Create RAID-1 level array with 2 active devices and 1 spare:
   
   # mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/hda{8,9} -x 1 /dev/hda10

   Note: RAID-1 provides for redundancy and needs a minimum of 2 partitions and any number of spares.

2. Show details:
   
   # mdadm --detail /dev/md0
3. Mark Faulty:
   
   # mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -f /dev/hda8

   Note: When partition is marked faulty, the spare quickly replaces it in RAID 1 array.

4. Remove:
   
   # mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -r /dev/hda8

   Note: Only faulty partitions can be removed.

5. Add:
   
   # mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -a /dev/hda8

   Note: Only removed partitions can be added.

6. Stop RAID:
   
   # mdadm --stop /dev/md0
7. Run RAID:
   
   # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/hda{8,9,10}

   Note: Before assembling, check on the UUID of the devices. They should all be the same and show only one array:
   

   mdadm --examine --scan /dev/hda{8,9,10}

8. Remove the md signature from disk
   
   # mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/hda{8,9,10}
9. Scan md superblock
   
   # mdadm --examine --scan
10. Scan currently active arrays
    
    mdadm --detail --scan
11. Monitor RAID:
    
    # nohup mdadm --monitor --mail=root --delay=300 /dev/md0 &

Samba is a suite of Unix applications that speak the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. Many operating systems, including Windows and OS/2, use SMB to perform client-server networking. By supporting this protocol, Samba allows Unix servers to get in on the action, communicating with the same networking protocol as Microsoft Windows products.
