Fisher Price recall its products purchased after May 2007

Being a parent whose son loves Sesame Street characters had us bought lots of fisher price Elmo toys and other non Sesame street products. It's a bit expensive, but I can tell you, the toys are durable and last longer than other normal toys.
If you bought any fisher price toys after May 2007, please visit this site http://service.mattel.com/us/recall/39054_IVR.asp?prod=

We have one in the list but we bought it before 2007 :)

I quote the site above;
'Fisher-Price Toys with Lead Paint Hazard Recall

Fisher-Price, in cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission is voluntarily recalling a limited number of Nickelodeon and Sesame Street painted toys produced by one specific contract manufacturer during a narrow timeframe. The recalled products were sold in retail stores nationwide since May 1, 2007. Paint on affected products contains lead in excess of permissible levels.

Lead is toxic if ingested and can cause adverse health effects. '

Commonly Used Linux Command

Sometimes, I do have problem remembering Linux commands when I'm on my console.
I will list the most common Linux commands and also specific for Checkpoint fw running on SPLAT(Secure Platform). It's a bit odd how they short form it to SPLAT :)
I'm not any GURU expert on Linux,, but just for the sake of sharing the infos.
Here goes a few:
ls -l (to list the files)
ls -lrt (list the files according the dates, the last line will be the latest file)
df -h (to view the size of the disks created, if the disk is 100% utilized, you might experienced some problem, especially if you are running the fw management server)
df -k (the same as above, instead of megabytes, it will show you the size in kilobytes)
netstat -rn (to show the routing table of your device)
ifconfig ( to show the list of available interfaces)
if your Linux has the tcpdump features, (i think most are pre-installed) the commands to sniff the packets on specific interface are as below;
# tcpdump -i -s 1500 net 10.200.1.0/24 -w /var/tmp/xxw.pcap
*the interface name is the interface sets on your device. If you want to filter based on the network address, you should put as above, if filter based on host, change it to 'host 10.200.1.1'. The -s 1500 indicate the normal 1500 size packet you want to capture. If you don't define 1500, the packets captured will show incomplete details.
-w is used to save the files to a specific folder. By defining the file extension with .pcap, you'd be able to double click the file to open it via ethereal.
trace route (to do normal trace route functions. In windows, you'll use tracert)
ping (to check the response of the destination server)
ssh (to ssh using a defined username)
grep command can be used at the end of the normal commands to grab specific name you wish to search for. Example, in your routing table, you wish the routing at your interface eth3. You'll use below commands;
netstat -rn | grep eth3
If you wish to display the routing table per page, use | more at the end of your command line. Example;
netstat -rn | more
ps -ef (to check the processes running and identify the process ids and also which are consuming the most RAM)
snmpd service stat (to check the status of the snmpd daemon)
I will add on more later..
For specific Checkpoint command line, the most commonly used are;
cphaprob stat ( to check the Checkpoint High Availability status)
cpstart ( to start the checkpoint application)
cpstop (to stop the checkpoint application)
sysconfig (to enter the network setting on the SPLAT machine)
cpconfig ( to enter the checkpoint setting)


more to add soon


new ones for Chechkpoint firewall

cplic print (print the license)


cpstat (to check cp stats)

cpstat -vs 3 fw -f policy (to check the stats on the firewall VID=3 based on the fw vsx)

other stats finding command lines

cpstat os -f all
cpstat os -f cpu
fw tab -s -t connections
fw ctl cpstat
