Commands were found here: https://www.dell.com/community/Isilon/Unlock-locked-file-on-Isilon-Share-via-MMC/td-p/7094821 My first thought for finding the open lock was to just use the MMC console on windows to find it, like this: However, it turns out that this will only show you the locks on a specific node, not the whole cluster. What you need to do is instead hop […]
When trying to find why my ospf configs were not sending the correct costing from Linux -> Cisco devices, I found some useful commands that I thought I would note down for future reference. Linux – Using vtysh My ospfd.conf looks something like this: You can see the costs on linux using the vtysh command: […]
I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th Gen, running Ubuntu 20.04 – it’s a great laptop, with a 14″ display and a 1080p screen. However, if you run it at 1X display scaling, everything is just a bit too small for comfort. I have found the best display scaling factor for it is 125%. Ubuntu […]

For those people, here’s how to make the same thing using […]
Note – The “Request” trigger used in this post is only available on a Premium Power Automate account. If you want this for personal use, I suggest you look at using IFTTT instead, see my guide here: https://jaytuckey.name/2020/04/21/making-a-simple-phone-notification-tool-using-ifttt-available-on-a-free-account/ Many of us have access through our work to Microsoft Power Automate, previously called Microsoft Flow.
