Piping a repeated character through the command will result in a single character only if there are more than 4 of them e.g.

echo "aaaaaa bbbbb cccc ddd" | sed -ru 's/(.)\1{4,}/\1/g'

the output will be "a b cccc ddd"

Use AWS CLI and JQ to get a list of instances sorted by launch time

Use the AWS CLI tools to generate a list instances, then pipe them to JQ to show only their launch time and instance id. Finally use sort to bring them out in runtime order. Find all those instances you launched months ago and have forgotten about.

Find files modified since a specific date

This command uses -newerXY to show you the files that are modified since a specific date. I recommend looking for "-newerXY" on the manpage to get the specifics.

Keep track of diff progress

You're running a program that reads LOTS of files and takes a long time.

But it doesn't tell you about its progress.

First, run a command in the background, e.g.

find /usr/share/doc -type f -exec cat {} + > output_file.txt

Then run the watch command.

"watch -d" highlights the changes as they happen

In bash: $! is the process id (pid) of the last command run in the background.

You can change this to $(pidof my_command) to watch something in particular.

Keep track of diff progress

When running a long `diff -r` over folders, this simulates a "verbose" mode where you can see where diff is in the tree.

Replace $file with the first part of the path being compared.
