Useful Scripts

From time to time when getting to grips with a new piece of software or trying a new task, it is useful to look at or build upon existing people's work. In this section we have compiled some of the most useful configuration files for some of the software installed on our servers as well as some handy scripts. Just copy this files into your home directory (you could use wget to easily grab them from the command line).
