print a file on a single line

Example: you have a package.txt you want to install on a system. Instead of this:

cat package.txt

package1

package2

package3

You want it to cat out on one line so you can print "yum install package1 package2 package3"

Display the number of connections to a MySQL Database

Count the number of active connections to a MySQL database.

The MySQL command "show processlist" gives a list of all the active clients.

However, by using the processlist table, in the information_schema database, we can sort and count the results within MySQL.

To know the IP address of the machine current running on the network

Prevents the need for the grep & awk statements. Sort is optional if you don't care about the output order. The network range can also be specified as in the original post.

-A Display targets by address rather than DNS name. (Probably unnecessary...)

-a Show systems that are alive.

S fping -r1 -ag 192.168.nnn.0/24 2>/dev/null

Without sorting...
