It was previously called: Windows Grep

But this is my latest favourite file search tool

When you want practice with SQLite, using in SourceMod plugins, it would be nice to look (or edit) those database results in
Code:
...addons\sourcemod\data\sqlite\*.sq3
Here is my favourite SQLite browser

Those who know CheatEngine program from Windows, you can try Linux versio called


[Linux] PINCE (korcankaraokcu)


- I'm not encouraging you to cheat or hack programs!
But using this tool on Source Dedicated Server, you can SCAN addresses of wanted result (for example kills, deaths count in Counter Strike game, from server side).
You can check what is modifying this address and look piece of assembly code, with this code you look match from IDA database (you know, server.so)

I have two computers in use, in my home network.
But my second PC is running Linux PoP_OS! and my main PC Windows10.

I want share files between these two computers across of home network.
- Unfortunally I'm not guru with Windows/Linux Operation Systems, so my files share work now only to Linux, but not to Windows. (It's fine to me)

Here is Linux tutorial how install Samba. There maybe better ones.

Not my favourite tool but have to use it for now.

To able to remote control my second PC over LAN network:

[Windows Linux] TeamViewer

- There is FREE portal version what works only on LAN.
- You can share files also between machines.
- Portable program not save configuration in your PC by default.
To enable that, edit TeamViewer.ini
Code:
[Settings]
nosave=0
importsettings=1
...



*edit
There is another remote control tool but I did not get into it .Chrome Remote Desktop: Multi-OS Remote Access

Old 02-25-2023 , 15:21   [Windows] WakeMeOnLan
Reply With Quote #8

My second PC is in another room, to able switch PC on over LAN connection:
- BIOS set to wake PC from LAN first

...I use this tool from my main PC

[Windows] WakeMeOnLan (Nir Sofer)

*edit
About BIOS setting Wake-On-LAN, to get it work again after power loss,
I also need set from BIOS Restore on AC/Power Loss so PC start automatically when PSU is powered.

Because if this feature is not enabled, my motherboard LAN connector do not turn on after power loss.

To automatically turn my PC off after 15 minutes from boot, I use crontab (Linux)
- To able to use Shutdown in cron job -> I need log as ROOT user (sudo su) and then create cron job.
My example
Code:
root@pop-os:/home/pop# crontab -l
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
# 
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
# 
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
# 
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
# 
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
# 
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
# 
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
# 
# m h  dom mon dow   command
MAILTO=""
PATH=/sbin:${PATH}
HOME=/root

#@reboot /bin/sleep 60 && /sbin/shutdown -h 15
@reboot /bin/sleep 60 && /sbin/shutdown -h 14


When I need use my second PC
  1. I wake up with tool WakeMeOnLan
  2. Wait little bit, then connect with remote control (TeamViewer)
  3. I open Linux terminal and cancel running shutdown: shutdown -c
