By default, windows 2k server does not activate this function. Do this to activate it :
- start regedit
- goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftCommand Processor
- change the keyword “CompletionChar” from 64 to 9
- close all command line window and start and new window
Voila!

problem :
using backticks in bash for mysql statements. e.g. :
mysql -u username -h host -e “GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `somedatabase`.* TO ‘someuser’@'somehost’;” -p<password with no space after parameter>
would get an error :
./scriptname: line 5: somedatabase: command not found
solution :
escape () the backticks ” ` ” surround “somedatabase”
mysql -u username -h host -e “GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `somedatabase`.* TO ‘someuser’@'somehost’;” -p<password with no space after parameter>

Have an external hard disk with hfsplus or hfs+ partition on it? This is how you can mount it under linux (specifically, Debian) :
in os x :
- disable journaling in the partition/external hdd in disk utility or use run the command “diskutil disableJournal /dev/disk1s1″ in terminal.
in linux :
- apt-get install hfs*
- mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/extdisk
Voila !!!
