Posts Tagged ‘script’

Some projects have production code that runs off of a git cloned repository. There may be a case in which you want to notify others when that clone pulls. It is a pretty easy feat with gits post-merge hook. The post-merge hook will run after a merge (think git pull). All you have to do it create a project/.git/hooks/post-merge shell script and chmod +x it. Next time you pull successfully that script will run. Here is an example.

#!/bin/bash
TEMPLOG=$(mktemp)
echo "Sending email notification of update"
git log --reverse --no-merges --stat @{1}.. < $TEMPLOG
sendEmail -u "Production code update notification" -t recipient@domain.com < $TEMPLOG
rm $TEMPLOG

Im not a big fan of cpanel but I do manage a server that runs it. Recently some update was pushed down that caused about 50% of my users to not be able to access mail. It all boiled down to a permission issue that the cpanel scripts /scripts/mailperm did not take care of. Their scripts do not correct the permissions of the virtual user maildirs. (more…)
