How to flush tinydns/dnscache

Some people say using

svc -du dnscache

will flush the dns cache. However, I have never had any such luck and must use the following

svc -t dnscache

Rsync complete filesystem

Sometimes I find myself in need of migrating a complete system into a VM or Container. Here is a pretty easy way to minimize downtime later.

rsync -aAHXv /* root@host.domain.tld:/var/lib/vz/private/115 --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found}

As you can see above I am syncing to an OpenVZ container.

Move a running process to the background

This method cleanly moves a running process to the background and ensures you don't lose it when you log out of the session.

CTRL+z
bg
disown -h

Enjoy
