If you don’t use new (modern / metro) style application in windows you can delete all of them with a single PowerShell command.
To open PowerShell: Right click on Windows logo -> Command Prompt (Administrator – type powershell and press Enter.

This command removes all store apps for currently logged in user.
[code]
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
[/code]

To delete installation packages from disk and prevent installation for new users:
WARNING! This cannot be undone, you will lose ability to install new apps from Windows Store.
[code]
Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
[/code]

Automating tasks with cron on CheckPoint Gaia

Posted on by

To use cron on CheckPoint Gaia firewall you need to create a separate user, as “admin” user crontab file is overwritten on every reboot by /bin/cron_xlate.

Instead of using default command :
> crontab -e
It will warn you as follows:
[code]
# This file was AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED
# Generated by /bin/cron_xlate on Wed Jan 14 13:33:33 2015
#
# DO NOT EDIT
#
SHELL=/bin/bash
MAILTO=””
#
# mins hrs daysinm months daysinw command
#
[/code]

You will also need to specify the user:

> crontab -u cron_user -e

To create a new user for cron, use following commands:

[code]
add user cron_user uid 0 homedir /home/cron_user
set user cron_user gid 100 shell /bin/bash
add rba user cron_user roles adminRole
set user cron_user password
[/code]

Make sure you use new user’s home folder for output in your scripts, to avoid issues with permissions.

SSHd server not starting at boot RHEL / CentOS 7

Posted on by

By default sshd server does not start in CentOS 7.
chkconfig command does not control ssh daemon any more.

Solution is to use systemctl:

[code]
> systemctl enable sshd
[/code]

It produces following awkward result:
ln -s ‘/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service’ ‘/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service’

To check if SSH server is staring on boot (and if it is running):

[code]
> systemctl status sshd

sshd.service – OpenSSH server daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2014-11-03 18:43:56 GMT; 20min ago
[/code]

Enabled – means it will start at boot time automatically.
Welcome to systemd world..
