Use PowerShell to delete old files

Here is a simple way to use PowerShell to delete old files.  In my example I want to delete files older than 365 days off of a remote server.

dir \\SOME_HOSTNAME\SOME_FOLDER -recurse | WHERE {($_.CreationTime -le $(Get-Date).AddDays(-365))} | Remove-Item -Force

License VMware Workstation from CLI

I installed Fedora 19 on my laptop and decided to install VMware Workstation 9 on it as well.  The install was straight forward, but I could not enter the license key through the GUI.  However, no need to panic, doing this from the CLI is pretty straight forward.

Provided you performed the default install you should be able to use the following:
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx --new-sn xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
