This little tool is pretty useful for administrators who wear the hat of both system admin and DBA on Linux/MySQL boxes.

The snippet has the library script that you can source into scripts that actually do work, as well as a script that uses the functions in the libraries. Anyone who has used the C API should be able to relate to using this script.

It's pretty fast and lightweight. It makes only one external call to mysql and sed per query. The rest is all bash builtins. Requires bash > 3.0

Log4J is a really nice Library that aims to facilitate outputting debugging information, but also relevant data, in Java applications. It is highly configurable, using both Categories and Class-Based rules, so that developers can narrow down the problems very well when debugging applications.

Draws a line (with arrow head) between two given points.
