If you want to share clipboard and map your local drive as server’s network drive, you can do this using rdesktop.

$ rdesktop -u remoteuser 1.2.3.4:1234 -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -r disk:rashid=/home/rashid -f |
Once you get connected your home directory will be available on the server as network drive.
If you are running a database driven website then your data sitting in MySQL database id most important for you. In most of shared hosting there is no provision for scheduled backup of databases. So I have written a script to take backup of all databases associated with the account.

Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
In most linux distributions Node.js is available in a repository which can be accessed via a package manager such as apt-get or aptitude.
However in the repository of the latest Ubuntu 12.10 the nodejs package has the version number 0.6.19 while the current version is 0.8.16 as of this writing. Unfortunately many nodes — that’s how node.js applications are called — are constantly under development and often depend on a newer version.
To install latest version of node you need to execute following commands:
