Show the inode usage for folders within your working directory

Following command will list complete inode usage from different folders with in the present working directory:

echo "Detailed Inode usage for: $(pwd)" ; for d in `find -maxdepth 1 -type d |cut -d\/ -f2 |grep -xv . |sort`; do c=$(find $d |wc -l) ; printf "$c\t\t- $d\n" ; done ; printf "Total: \t\t$(find $(pwd) | wc -l)\n"

Limiting number of HTTP Connections Per IP/Host

You can limit number of HTTP connections from single IP or Host using IPTABLES

The syntax is as follows :

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport $port -m connlimit --connlimit-above N -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

Example:

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

Above command will limit 20 HTTP connections per IP
