Synology: PXE Server - Add memtest86+

memtest86+ header

I sometimes need to check memory, so I add memtest86+ 5.01 as a choice to my existing PXE Server on Synology Diskstation.

Download and decompress pre-compiled binary memtest86+ 5.01

wget http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
gzip -dv ./memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz

Create 'memtest' folder on PXE server and copy the binary file as memtest86+-5.01 

mkdir -p /volume1/pxe/memtest
mv memtest86+-5.01.bin /volume1/pxe/memtest/memtest86+-5.01

Add entry to the bottom of /volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default file

label memtest
menu label Run a ^memtest
kernel memtest/memtest86+-5.01

Put them all in a script file pxememtest.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Run 'sudo -i' to be root, then run this script
# Download pre-compiled binary memtest86+ 5.01
wget http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
# Decompress
gzip -dv ./memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
# Create 'memtest' folder on pxe server's root folder
mkdir -p /volume1/pxe/memtest
# Copy memtest86+-5.01.bin to /volume1/pxe/memtest/ as memtest86+-5.01
mv memtest86+-5.01.bin /volume1/pxe/memtest/memtest86+-5.01
# Add entry to /volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default file
export menufile="/volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default"
echo -e "\nlabel memtest\nmenu label Run a ^memtest\nkernel memtest\/memtest86+-5.01" >> $menufile
# End of script

[Microsoft Outlook]: Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key

Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key The ForcePSTPath registry key is supported by Microsoft Outlook 2003 and later.
