[Linux] Access Fedora 15 Trash through command line

If you are a command-line fan, you can type the following in Terminal to reach the Trash folder:

cd ~/.local/share/Trash

Delete site manager entries in Filezilla

Instead of painfully delete site manager entry in Filezilla one by one, I ‘ll show you a quick way in deleting all entries.

Assuming you are running on Windows platform, type %APPDATA% in Run.

Navigate to Filezilla folder, delete away sitemanager.xml

After doing this, there will be no entry in Filezilla site manager:

This method will definitely save you the troubles from deleteing each entry one by one. However, this method will delete ALL of your entries.

Don’t worry! When I am free, I will write a guide on deleting multiple site manager entries in Filezilla!

Remove print job from printer queue in NUS SOC printers

To cancel / remove your print job when printing using NUS SOC printers, login to sunfire using SSH.

Assuming the printer name is pstsb-dx, enter the following in the command prompt to check your print job in printer pstsb-dx:

lpq -Ppstsb-dx

Next, take note of the job id for the print job you wish to cancel.

Then, enter the following

lprm -Ppstsb-dx 845

where 845 is the printjob id.

This 2 commands are particularly useful when SOC printers are jammed or the network is down. To prevent wastage of print quota, cancel away your print job.

For a list of NUS SOC printers name, go to https://docs.comp.nus.edu.sg/node/1498/
