Thanks for this! I knew it was something simple but I couldn't find the exact syntax.
By the way, a blog of common, useful sysadmin techniques is great and useful but I get a terrible parked/this-is-just-for-money feeling from the ads and overall lack of design. No offense pal, I'm sure this is intentional.
Chris,
I'm glad you found the post helpful.
Regarding your second comment, I take no offense; it's just an opinion. Believe me, I don't make much off of my 2 blogs (UNIX, web finds) - maybe $5-10 per month on the ads. Could I make more...of course, this UNIX-based blog receives about 20K visitors per month. I guess if I was really aggressive and smart about it, I could make hundreds of worthless splogs and make a few bucks on each one per month. But frankly speaking, I don't have the time or endurance to make money online. I leave that niche to Rouse, Chow and Shoemoney. I'll keep my day job.
