I have once heard rumor that somewhere there is still a Chi Chi’s. I imagine it hidden inside a mountain where Shangri-La is. So on some random corner is a long lost land, is the best Mexican Restaurant chain ever, known only to the locals of Shangri-La.
Oh wait, I found them:

To correct the issue, on the iPhone, go to iMessages
To check if you have the problem yourself:
Go to settings > Messages > Send and Receive
Under “You can be reached by iMessage at”, if your phone number is not ticked, you have this problem.
To fix (this worked for me):
Go to Settings > Messages
Turn off iMessage
Go to Settings > Cellular
Turn off Cellular Data
Reboot phone
Turn Cellular Data and iMessage back on
Go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive
Under “Start new conversations from”, tick your phone number
If you want to fail back to SMS messaging when iMessage is unavailable, make sure to enable Settings > Messages > Send as SMS. This was disabled by default on my fresh iOS7, and can cause text messages to be mysteriously delayed.

Process Monitor, by SysInternals under Microsoft, shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. To do this it registers itself with the Event Tracing for Windows to receive activity reports from both the file system and the windows registry.
It can be found here: Windows Sysinternals Process Monitor.
Some basics of what to expect to see, here is a resized window, giving all of the default information I want to go over:
Capture (Ctrl+E): Enables/Disables capturing activity.
Autoscroll (Ctrl+E): Enables/Disables scrolling of display as activity is shown. I find it best to disable Autoscroll until enough filters are in place, ymmv.
Clear (Ctrl+X): Clears/flushes captured activity.
Filter (Ctrl+L): Shortcut to the filter screen.
Highlight (Ctrl+H): Enable highlighting of particular captured activity.
Include Process From Window: You see a program you want to watch to see what it does, these cross-hairs will help you zero in on just it.
Registry Activity: I use this secondarily and have sparse experience with it, I tend to disable it on startup. Results include SUCCESS, NAME NOT FOUND, BUFFER OVERFLOW, REPARSE, NO MORE ENTRIES, ACCESS DENIED, and BUFFER TOO SMALL.
File System Activity: My bread and butter of this tool. Almost always will be using this. The seemingly more useful results include SUCCESS, ACCESS DENIED, NAME COLLISION, PATH NOT FOUND, END OF FILE, and BUFFER OVERFLOW, while the plethora of other results are NO MORE FILES, NAME NOT FOUND, FILE LOCKED WITH WRITERS, FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS, NOT REPARSE POINT, PRIVILEGE NOT HELD, IS DIRECTORY, INVALID PARAMETER, NO SUCH FILE, RANGE NOT LOCKED, SHARING VIOLATION, OPLOCK NOT GRANTED, INVALID DEVICE REQUEST, and FAST IO DISALLOWED. This may not be the full list, but what I could generate.
Network Activity: This would be my 3rd most used, and last as I don’t use the next two. I like this to see if a connection was made out/in and to/from what host.
Process and Thread Activity
Profiling Events
*A note on Fast IO
“Fast IO indicators in a trace have to do with how the windows file cache works. Process Monitor provides a default filter that removes most of the Fast IO events, by doing an exclude on events that have an Operation starting with the string “FASTIO_”. This leaves “FAST IO DISALLOWED” events captured and displayed. You often see a “FAST IO DISALLOWED” entry on a file followed by the normal path attempt to open the file which succeeds. Adding a filter to exclude Operations start with “FAST IO” eliminates these red herrings.
When starting up the application, the output is overwhelming. Expect it, much like running Wireshark and showing all traffic on an interface, you are going to see more than you really need.
Filters
The default filter:
This strips out actions by the Process Monitor application itself. I use this as a base, and once the program starts showing results, exclude the imports I am not looking for. I rarely use the registry watch, and I typically stick to just the file monitor.
So for the default that loaded on the last version I downloaded, I would start the application, to stop the capture, disable , , and . I am then left with just enabled. Now start the capture again, .
For the slew of what is left, we have two options.
Include only the process by name or PID as a filter.
Pros: It is much cleaner and more direct if you know exactly what to look for. If I am trying to watch a single IIS Application pool, I can find its PID in the task manager, and add an Include for the matching PID.
Cons: This can exclude an item you had not anticipated, leaving a surprise to find out later.
Exclude Noise by Process name
Pros: Easier to start with when learning. Can reveal conflicting applications.
Cons: Time cost, this can be a 30+ list in some cases. Excluding that number of applications can take numerous runs of Process Monitor, starting and stopping captures to catch as much noise as one can.
I start excluding process’s by name for items I know I am not looking for.
Process Names’s I have been known to exclude:

You know zubat? The one that always gets in your way in a cave? The reason they do that is because they are flying type, surrounded rock types such as geodudes, and onixes. Their chance of survival is slim. They run up to trainers hoping to be rescued from their hell, by being captured, but instead of being rescued, they are skorned, denied, and refused If one is lucky, it will be the only one caught in the entire game to be the one to put in the pokedex, after that, the rest are damned to a life of torment for the rest of the game. After the first one is caught the only way for one to e captures is the 1/8092 chance of being shiny. Since this is unlikely they have to train harder than any other pokemon to survive against the rock types, and to do that, they have to murder their neighbors, their mothers, their brothers, their sisters, their fathers, their best friends, to learn supersonic, and have the small chance of survival. Their live is full of misery, pain, and suffering, and instead of saving them, we run away from them.
I found all too little information on the PlayStation 2 Virtual Reality Headset and was even told in 2004 or 2003 by a Sony representative that what I had seen and read about in magazines was a prototype, and that it was never actually for sale. Within 10 minutes I found it for sale on the Japan Sony Website. Here is all or most of the info I could track down:

This HMD is about features they Heddoakushontorakka, things that you use omni-directional view of the corresponding game. Immediately “Eimusutoraiku Enajieafosu!” Give it to.
Actual JHMCS will also introduce the F-35 flight. Front cockpit.

AIM-9X can now finally proved the ability to bore off site. And F-35 and very easy to overlook when around the vertical landing. “Eimusutoraiku Enajieafosu!” Some time to play again. …… “Earodanshingu 4” Naa it was very, very easy for photography … but if someone would correspond
This HMD, a promise is 2m away and the screen 42 is equivalent to the type, quality minutes, so there is a limit to the pixel in the LCD will be less rough course. And difficult to read small letters. Than expected but quality was good. It seems to work Heddoakushontorakka, Ito Tetsu so this is no longer move his head like crazy, sometimes reset button (with the headphones are left), there is a pressing need.
The other five were released but only Pureisuteshondottokomu years ago, was quite expensive (¥ 59,800) take the next step should be the ones who want to buy it abuses. In fact, almost出Nakatta corresponding games. Today is quite difficult to obtain. Sometimes that comes out to check the Yafuoku.
A basic example:

scp filename user@host.com:/path/where/you/want/it |
SCP
The scp command allows you to copy files over ssh connections. This is pretty useful if you want to transport files between computers, for example to backup something. The scp command uses the ssh command and they are very much alike. However, there are some important differences.
The scp command can be used in three* ways: to copy from a (remote) server to your computer, to copy from your computer to a (remote) server, and to copy from a (remote) server to another (remote) server. In the third case, the data is transferred directly between the servers; your own computer will only tell the servers what to do. These options are very useful for a lot of things that require files to be transferred, so let’s have a look at the syntax of this command:
|
1 |
scp examplefile yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/ |
Looks quite familiar, right? But there are differences. The command above will transfer the file “examplefile” to the directory “/home/yourusername/” at the server “yourserver”, trying to get ssh acces with the username “yourusername”. That’s quite a lot information, but scp really needs it all. Well, almost all of it. You could leave out the “yourusername@” in front of “yourserver”, but only if you want to login on the server with your current username on your own computer. Let’s have a closer look at the end of the command. There’s a colon over there, with a directory after it. Just like Linux’s normal cp command, scp will need to know both the source file(s) and the target directory (or file). For remote hosts, the file(s)/directory are given to the scp command is this way.
You can also copy a file (or multiple files) from the (remote) server to your own computer. Let’s have a look at an example of that:
|
1 |
scp yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile . |
Note: The dot at the end means the current local directory. This is a handy trick that can be used about everywhere in Linux. Besides a single dot, you can also type a double dot ( .. ), which is the parent directory of the current directory.
This will copy the file “/home/yourusername/examplefile” to the current directory on your own computer, provided that the username and password are correct and that the file actually exists.
You probably already guessed that the following command copies a file from a (remote) server to another (remote) server:
|
1 |
scp yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile yourusername2@yourserver2:/home/yourusername2/ |
Please note that, to make the above command work, the servers must be able to reach each other, as the data will be transferred directly between them. If the servers somehow can’t reach each other (for example, if port 22 is not open on one of the sides) you won’t be able to copy anything. In that case, copy the files to your own computer first, then to the other host. Or make the servers able to reach each other (for example by opening the port).
Well, those are the main uses of scp. We’ll now go a bit more in-depth about the differences between ssh and scp.
*: Actually you can also use it just like the normal cp command, withhout any ssh connections in it, but that’s quite useless. It requires you to type an extra ‘s’ =).
Specifying a port with scp
The scp command acts a little different when it comes to ports. You’d expect that specifying a port should be done this way:
|
1 |
scp -p yourport yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile . |
However, that will not work. You will get an error message like this one:
cp: cannot stat `yourport’: No such file or directory
This is caused by the different architecture of scp. It aims to resemble cp, and cp also features the -p option. However, in cp terms it means ‘preserve’, and it causes the cp command to preserve things like ownership, permissions and creation dates. The scp command can also preserve things like that, and the -p option enables this feature. The port specification should be done with the -P option. Therefore, the following command will work:
|
1 |
scp -P yourport yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile . |
Also note that the -P option must be in front of the (remote) server. The ssh command will still work if you put -p yourport behind the host syntax, but scp won’t. Why? Because scp also supports copying between two servers and therefore needs to know which server the -P option applies to.
Another difference between scp and ssh
Unlike ssh, scp cannot be used to run a command on a (remote) server, as it already uses that feature of ssh to start the scp server on the host. The scp command does have an option that accepts a program (the -S option), but this program will then be used instead of ssh to establish the encrypted connection, and it will not be executed on the remote host.
Tips & Tricks with ssh and scp
Quite a handy thing about scp is that it supports asterisks. You can copy all files in a remote directory in a way like this:
|
1 |
scp yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/* . |
And you can also just copy a whole directory by specifying the -r (recursive) option:
|
1 |
scp -r yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/ . |
Both of these also work when copying to a (remote) server or copying between a (remote) server and another (remote) server.
The ssh command can come in handy if you don’t know the exact location of the file you want to copy with scp. First, ssh to the (remote) server:
ssh yourusername@yourserver
Then browse to the right directory with cd. This is essential Linux terminal knowledge, so I won’t explain it here. When you’re in the right directory, you can get the full path with this command:
|
1 |
pwd |
Note: pwd is an abbreviation of Print Working Directory, which is a useful way to remember the command.
You can then copy this output, leave the ssh shell by pressing Ctrl + D, and then paste the full directory path in your scp command. This saves a lot of remembering and typing!
You can also limit the bandwidth scp may use when copying. This is very useful if you’re wanting to copy a huge amount of data without suffering from slow internet for a long time. Limiting bandwidth is done this way:
|
1 |
scp -l bandwidthlimit yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/* . |
The bandwidth is specified in Kbit/sec. What does this mean? Eight bits is one byte. If you want to copy no faster than 10 Kbyte/sec, set the limit to 80. If you want to copy no faster than 80 Kbyte/sec, set the limit to 640. Get it? You should set the limit to eight times the maximum Kbyte/sec you want it to be. I’d recommend to set the -l option with all scp’ing you do on a connection that other people need to use, too. A big amount of copying can virtually block a whole 10 Mbit network if you’re using hubs.
