Update: There is a small update to this article, as if lets say some one does not have any root password yet, then how to create it 1st and then use the following commands. So that’s simple, open terminal and type the following.
While working on a project last week, i used this function to generate random passwords. There are many styles of password generator available over the net, but it depends which one suits the taste and need.
Some time we need to have a CSV file and store our database data in it for reporting and other things. To create such file on the fly we will need PHP, Apache and MySQL installed which i assume are installed.
1st of all we need Archive_Tar package to download and install. Download package from here, and run this command in terminal to install it.
Yes, i know this type of things are written many times. But my approach to it is for the IMAP protocol later. This is the 1st step to start from.
