The current shell server i’m using returns bogus output for commands like df. Mind the negative value for 1-k blocks.
timvw@localhost:~$ df
| Filesystem | 1k-blocks | Used | Available | Use% | Mounted on |
| /dev/hda1 | -780429856382 | 1 | 0 | 74% | / |
It thought it would be a good idea to have a backup once in a while, but most of the times when i did it, i forgot to backup my database. So i wrote a little backup.script that remembers to do that for me.
