So you can use `stat -c %a $path` to get the octal spec for use with `chmod`:
# stat -c %a /tmp 1777 # stat -c %a / 755
stat -c %a /tmp

NetBeans PHP “Invalid include path”
So I migrated my projects from a Debian 8 (Jessie) system to a Debian 9 (Stretch) system. The default NetBeans installed by apt-get install netbeans on Strech was 8.1, and it didn’t include PHP support, so I manually installed NetBeans 8.2.
When I opened my old projects I got an error about an invalid global PHP include path.
So initially I edited ~/.netbeans/8.2/build.properties to change the php.global.include.path settings (to remove /usr/share/php5, because in Stretch I’m running PHP 7.0). But that didn’t work. Each time I ran NetBeans the build.properties file was overwritten with the old php5 directory.
So then I found ~/.netbeans/8.2/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/php/project/general.properties. In there I edited the phpGlobalIncludPath and removed the /usr/share/php5 directory.
Then when I reopened NetBeans all of my projects opened properly without an error! Everything is easy when you know how!

Getting absolute path from relative path in Bash
I was writing a shell script and I wanted to change directory. But before I changed directory I wanted to get the absolute path to a file relative to the current directory so that I could access the file again later. I learned that you can do this in Bash with the readlink facility, passing in the -f command line switch, i.e.:
$ readlink -f ./some/path
