Launch a Powershell console and type the following:

do { appcmd list requests; sleep 1 } while ($true)

You should see a list of requests IIS is currently processing or nothing depending on how busy the web server is. Just hit Ctrl+C to stop the loop.

I found this extremely useful when trying to figure out if a server is backed up or to see which types of requests users are attempted to hit.

Just put this as the last entry in either your .bashrc .profile in your local home directory or for global bash prompt:

PS1=”(box:\u@\h) [dir: \w]  \n {\d – \T} (cmd: \#) >> “

Looks like:

Does it have more than 500k lines? Got *nix? Don’t like sed? Use tr (OSX has it too!)!

tr -s ‘\t’ ‘,’ < input.txt > output.csv

Done!

The instructions are all here, and there are even video tutorials: http://www.redsn0w.us/2011/12/jailbreak-ios-501-untethered-on-iphone.html.

I’ve successfully jailbroken my iPhone from an already jailbroken 5.0.0. Just make sure to backup existing setup with apps, update to 5.0.1 from iTunes and use the new redsnow version (Redsn0w 0.9.10b1) after updating. Cydia gave me a few package signature errors after launching so just let it update and it should be good.
