Project Management Tools:

Nowadays there is a wealth of information on the web about generating certifcate signing requests and installing signed certificates. I followed the instructions at OpenSSL HOWTOs.

To ease the process one should first adjust some default settings in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:

[ req_distinguished_name ]

countryName_default             = US

stateOrProvinceName_default     = Massachusetts

There are many interesting features that need to be explored like apache-status.

Main configuration file: /etc/monit/monitrc
Monit manual: http://mmonit.com/documentation/

Tell Git about you

In order to have commits properly tagged you need to provide Git with your name and email address:

$ git config --global user.email jean.hacker@example.com

This ends up in your home directory's .gitconfig.

Backupninja lets you drop simple config files in /etc/backup.d to
coordinate system backups. Backupninja is a master of many arts,
including incremental remote filesystem backup, MySQL backup, and ldap
backup.
