How to prevent a user from login in, but allow “su - user” in Linux?

By
You can use AllowUsers / AllowGroups if you have only a few users/groups that are allowed to login via ssh or DenyUsers / DenyGroups if you have only a few users/groups that are not allowed to login. Note that this only restricts login via ssh, other ways of login (console, ftp, ...) are still possible. You need to add these options to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for most ssh installations.

If you have set the login shell to /bin/false you can use su -s /bin/bash user (replace /bin/bashwith the shell of your choice)

How to grep the output of cURL?

By
curl writes the output to stderr, so redirect that and also suppress the progress: curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / 2 >& 1 | grep expire The reason why  curl  writes the information to stderr is so you can do: curl <url> | someprgram  without that information clobbering the input of  someprogram It is possible to use  --stderr -  as parameter, to redirect the output from stderr (default) to stdout. With this option you also should use  --silent  to suppress the progress bar. $ curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / -- stderr - | grep expire * expire date : 2015 - 09 - 01 00 : 00 : 00 GMT

Terraform

By
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and...
