Linux – How to limit Apache response timeout

apache-2.2debianlinuxtimeout

I have an apache server, and there are lots of connection opened by a user, and it never ends.
Already ran for 4886 seconds and keeps counting. There are 80 such requests.

The page is simple, and not a download page.

So I have two questions:

What is the reasonable time to set for apache for: sending reply?
How to set this for the apache2?

You're probably running an apache version prior to 2.2.21, which means you are vulnerable to the HTTP Range exploit documented in CVE-2011-3192 - please read that document on how to remedy.

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
