bash ansi codes to html for html reports from shell script

How many times you have felt that there was some simple way to convert bash ansi escape sequences ( colors as well in terminal ) to html equivalent so that you can send the same as html report in email. Here is simple solution. One way is to use ccze if you are using this for logs – colorize your logs and for more generic solution.

dnf install python3-ansi2html.noarch

after this is installed, you can use something like this:

Get kernel function name from kernel address.

If you are using pmap or using strace and want to covert kernel address to function name then you can use the following technique.

First you need to install elfutils, if not installed.

dnf install elfutils

and after this you can use the following command

eu-addr2line -f -e /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) <addr>
#Example
eu-addr2line -f -e /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) 00007f36a8045000

Separation Anxiety: A Tutorial for Isolating Your System with Linux Namespaces

With the advent of tools like Docker, Linux Containers, and others, it has become super easy to isolate Linux processes into their own little system environments. This makes it possible to run a whole range of applications on a single real Linux machine and ensure no two of them can interfere with each other, without having to resort to using virtual machines. These tools have been a huge boon to PaaS providers. But what exactly happens under the hood?
