On systemd-based Linux distributions, managing and restarting services automatically after a failure is relatively straightforward. However, many older or minimal Linux systems rely on alternative init systems such as SysVinit and Upstart, which require different approaches to manage and restart services. In this guide, we’ll explore how to automatically restart a failed service on non-systemd systems using SysVinit and Upstart. 1. Restarting Services Automatically with SysVinit SysVinit is one of the oldest init systems, commonly used in distributions like Debian and CentOS before the transition to systemd. Step 1: Install and Configure monit monit is a lightweight, open-source utility that…

This post was contributed by Lance Haig, a solutions engineer at Docker. In today’s fast-paced development environments, balancing productivity with security while rapidly innovating is a constant juggle for senior leaders. Slow feedback loops, inconsistent environments, and cumbersome tooling can derail progress. As a solutions engineer at Docker, I’ve learned from my conversations with industry leaders that a key focus for senior leaders is on creating processes and providing tools that let developers move faster without compromising quality or security. Let’s explore how Docker’s suite of products and Docker Business empowers industry leaders and their development teams to innovate faster,…
This article will show you how to use Spring AI features like chat client memory, multimodality, tool calling, or embedding models with the Azure OpenAI service. Azure OpenAI is supported in almost all Spring AI use cases. Moreover, it goes beyond standard OpenAI capabilities, providing advanced AI-driven text generation and incorporating additional AI safety and responsible AI features. It also enables the integration of AI-focused resources, such as Vector Stores on Azure. This is the eighth part of my series of articles about Spring Boot and AI. It is worth reading the following posts before proceeding with the current one.…
In our day-to-day life, we often come across archived files on various platforms, whether it’s Windows, Mac, or Linux. Several applications are available on all these platforms to create and extract archived files. When it comes to working on the Linux platform, dealing with archived files is a frequent task. In this article, we will explore archive tools available on standard Linux distributions, along with their features, usage, and examples. The article is divided into two parts, with each part covering five command-line archive tools (a total of 10 best command-line archive tools). 1. tar Command tar is the standard…
ControlMonkey today added a disaster recovery module to its namesake software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for automating the management of infrastructure-as-code tools based on open-source Terraform software.Company CEO Aharon Twizer said that Automate Disaster Recovery makes it possible to reduce by 90% the amount of time required to restore cloud configurations, networking, security policies and other code used to configure services.The Automate Disaster Recovery addition to the ControlMonkey platform automatically takes daily cloud snapshots of the entire infrastructure to enable rollback to any prior state using a built-in “time machine” capability to track configurations of a wide range of cloud services, including…
pCloud is a most secure popular cloud storage service that offers a range of features to help you manage your files and data securely.

GitLab has released version 17.10, packed with innovative features that strengthen its position as a comprehensive DevOps platform. The update includes over 120 improvements, focusing on AI-powered capabilities and workflow enhancements to boost developer productivity.AI-Driven Development Takes Center StageThe headline feature is Duo Code Review, now available in beta. This AI-powered tool represents the next evolution in code review processes, addressing one of the most time-consuming aspects of software development. Duo can identify potential bugs by performing initial reviews on merge requests and suggesting improvements that developers can apply directly from their browsers. This accelerates the development process by enabling…
In our previous article, we explored the top 5 command line archive tools, including tar, shar, ar, cpio, and gzip. In this follow-up, we will cover 5 more archiving and compression utilities that are useful for various scenarios, along with their features, options, and practical examples. 6. bzip2 Command bzip2 is a file compression tool that uses the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm and Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to achieve higher compression ratios than gzip and it produces compressed files with an .bz2 extension. bzip2 Options: -d : Decompress a file. -z : Compress a file (default behavior). -k : Keep the original file…
When you thought keeping your code secure couldn’t get any easier, Google drops a significant upgrade that might change how you approach vulnerability management. The tech giant has officially launched OSV-Scanner V2.0.0, transforming a solid security tool into a comprehensive vulnerability scanning and remediation powerhouse.From Good to Great: What’s OSV-Scanner all About?If you’ve been keeping up with Google’s open-source security initiatives, remember when they released the original OSV-Scanner in December 2022. Working alongside OSV.dev and OSV-SCALIBR, it formed part of Google’s vision for an open platform that simplifies vulnerability management.The V2 release represents a significant evolution of the tool, integrating…
Low-code solutions often accelerate development and make tasks accessible to people who can’t or don’t want to write their own code. But it’s important to remember that it’s a trade-off. You are often trading decreased development and maintenance time for limited configuration options and minimal monitoring capabilities. Low-code solutions are great…until they aren’t. Low-code tools speed up development efforts but obscure the actual code, including many configurations.I’d like to share a recent example of when a low-code solution I built in Azure Data Factory caused a bit of a mess with no way to diagnose or fix the issue. Don’t…
