A few months ago I released a script to install a 32-bit Adobe Flash plugin to a 64-bit Firefox, but it doesn’t seem to work in Gutsy beta. Here’s an updated one. I upgraded my laptop to Gutsy and used this one to get Flash working.
Edit: I did a complete reinstall later and learned that Gutsy knows how to set this up by itself. So there’s no need for this script anymore. And that is a very positive thing!
Here’s a little script I made to make installing the 32-bit Flash plugin on a 64-bit Firefox easy. It was adapted from a script I found at the Ubuntu forums (here), but since that did not work right out of the box for me, I created one that does. The script uses the nspluginwrapper tool by Gwenolé Beauchesne.
Here’s a little script I made for starting and stopping Websphere MQ on a RHEL 4. It is useful for a simple configuration with one Queue Manager and listener. Just put your queue manager name in the QMGR variable and the listener port to the PORT variable, and save the script to your /etc/init.d.
