If you are behind a proxy server and have to authenticate with proxy server to browser web pages then you have to pass proxy server address and its port number along with user credentials to curl to got GET the page using curl. Example : "curl -U srikanth -x 167.85.103.70:8080

with this command you can empty file

Foward vnc securely from exampleserver.com

Depends on GET. You can also replace GET with curl, or `wget -qO -` if GET isn't available.

add this alias in .bashrc to fast check the ip address of your modem router

alias myip="curl -s http://myip.dk | grep '' | sed -e 's/]*>//g'"

similar to perl chop()

Simply displays your current working directory. Helps when you are buried deep in /etc or some other obscure place.

If somehow if you get more than 1 same name rpm package install, then it cannot be removed by using simple rpm -e as it gives you more than one rpm matches error. The --matches will help to remove all the same name rpm packages.

Once Enabled this command enables a trail of all processes on the system. As the name suggested auditing for Solaris machines.

BSM creates a number of files in the /etc/security directory.

add |sh when you agree the list, I often use that method to prevent typos in dangerous or long operations

Found this little gem here: http://info.michael-simons.eu/2008/10/25/recursively-md5sum-all-files-in-a-directory-tree/

Use this command to see logs update in real time

Telnet will make a tcp connection to a remote ip/port to test connectivity. If it times out, it's not reaching the host (maybe the firewall is blocking it). If connection is refused, it's reaching the host, but either the service is not listening on that port, or it's locked.

U have to make key exchange in order to avoid continuous password prompt.

sh as:

#! /bin/sh

while [ 1 -ne 6 ]; do

pid=`ps -ef | grep -v "grep" | grep "trans_gzdy" | cut -c10-17`

ps gv $pid | head -2

sleep 1

check changes of RSS.

arguably better than using the driver interface. lots of potentially cool stuff to be done w/ the dcop client.

Handy for those times you need to paste a file path in an IDE or some other app.

sudo apt-get install xclip

Then, for convenience, alias xclip to 'xclip -selection c' so you can just do something like realpath . | xclip

If you want to display a dialog (using xdialog/kdialog/zenity) you

need to make sure that you have a valid X session. Checks for

the existence of the DISPLAY variable.

nmap accepts a wide variety of addressing notation, multiple targets/ranges, etc.

e.g. if rm is aliased for 'rm -i', you can escape the alias by prepending a backslash:

rm [file] # WILL prompt for confirmation per the alias

\rm [file] # will NOT prompt for confirmation per the default behavior of the command
