If you want to do some download speed test, you can create a dummy file which have specific file size. To create an empty file with size you want type this command:
Shell
1
ddif=/dev/zero of=10mb-file.binbs=1024kcount=10
The command above will create a 10 MB sized file. If you want to create another file with different size, change the number after “count=”. Any number given after “count=” will be multiplied by 1024k or 1MB.
Last night I was configuring my new server and having trouble with changing the time zone. I use dateconfig command to change the time zone, I select “Asia/Jakarta” and save the configuration.
Strange thing is the time zone configuration is wrong, instead of WIT the time zone used is UTC. I tried to change the time zone again, this time I didn’t use dateconfig but by creating a symlink from /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jakarta to /etc/localtime, it doesn’t work either.
