See http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/concepts/gaConceptsCookies.html if you are unclear about the Google Analytics cookie system. If Firefox is your daily browser, be a good Orwellian and run this command regularly. If you see, 'SQL error near line 1: database is locked', close Firefox and run again.
5gofuckanalytics() { echo "DELETE FROM moz_cookies WHERE name LIKE '__utm%';" | sqlite3 $( find ~/.mozilla -name cookies.sqlite ) } -
file displays a files type the -L flag means follow sym-links (as libraries are often sym-linked to another this behavior is likely preferred) more complex behavior (*two* grep commands!) could be used to determine if the file is or is not a shared library.
-3file -L <library> | grep -q '64-bit' && echo 'library is 64 bit' || echo 'library is 32 bit' -
Determines the flavor of a shared library by looking at the addresses of its exposed functions and seeing if they are 16 bytes or 8 bytes long. The command is written so the library you are querying is passed to a variable up font -- it would be simple to convert this to a bash function or script using this format. Show Sample Output
2libquery=/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1; if [ `nm -D $libquery | sed -n '/[0-9A-Fa-f]\{8,\}/ {p; q;}' | grep "[0-9A-Fa-f]\{16\}" | wc -l` == 1 ]; then echo "$libquery is a 64 bit library"; else echo "$libquery is a 32 bit library"; fi; -
This is to fetch the Gateway Ip Address of a machine. Use the below format to put the value in a variable if you wish to find the gateway ip in a script
GATEWAY=$(netstat -nr | awk 'BEGIN {while ($3!="0.0.0.0") getline; print $2}')1netstat -nr | awk 'BEGIN {while ($3!="0.0.0.0") getline; print $2}' -
This function is used to sort selected lines of a text file to the end of that file. Especially useful in cases where human intervention is necessary to sort out parts of a file. Let's say that you have a text file which contains the words rough slimy red fluff dough For whatever reason, you want to sort all words rhyming with 'tough' to the bottom of the file, and all words denoting colors to the top, while keeping the order of the rest of the file intact. '$EDITOR' will open, showing all of the lines in the given file, numbered with '0' padding. Adding a '~' to the beginning of the line will cause the line to sort to the end of the file, adding '!' will cause it to sort to the beginning. Show Sample Output
02end () ( export LC_ALL=C; nl -n rz $1 > $1.tmp; ${EDITOR:-vi} $1.tmp; sort $1.tmp | sed -r 's/^.*[0-9]+\t+//' > $1; rm $1.tmp; ) -
ifconfig can't properly display interface's name longer 9 symbols,also it can't show IPs added thru ip command, so 'ip' should be used instead. This alias properly shows long names, bond interfaces and all interface aliases. loopback interface is ignored, since its IP is obvious Show Sample Output
5alias ips='ip a | awk '\''/inet /&&!/ lo/{print $NF,$2}'\'' | column -t' -
0mpg123 -s input.mp3 | faac -P -X -w -o output.m4b -
-
if you haven't already done so, install lame and flac: sudo apt-get install lame flac Show Sample Output
2flac -cd input.flac |lame -h - output.mp3 -
Uses lsof to display the full path of ".log" files opened by a specified PID.
6lsof -p 1234 | grep -E "\.log$" | awk '{print $NF}' -
manda la salida de un comando hacia un servicio de paste y coloca la url de ese paste en el portapapeles
-4(echo "" | xsel -o) ; (programa | wgetpaste -s dpaste | awk '{print $7}' | xsel -ai) -
-5ls -R .
-
This produces a parseable output of the last day of the month in future or past. Change the '-v-0m' to be a month plus or minus from the current system time. Show Sample Output
-4date -j -v1d -v-0m -v-1d +'%m %d %Y' -
ifconfig is dead, long-live iproute2 this also uses only awk to do the grepping and removal of CIDR notation Show Sample Output
0ip addr | awk '/inet / {sub(/\/.*/, "", $2); print $2}' -
Require the moreutils package Show Sample Output
-4ifdata -pa eth0 -
using perl
1echo sortmeplease | perl -pe 'chomp; $_ = join "", sort split //' -
Easy way to grab the IP address of a machine for easy script use. If needed a "| grep -v 127.0.0.1" at the end will suppress localhost. Show Sample Output
-2ifconfig | awk '/inet addr/ {print $2 }' | sed 's/.*://g' -
1ps axo rss,comm,pid | awk '{ proc_list[$2] += $1; } END { for (proc in proc_list) { printf("%d\t%s\n", proc_list[proc],proc); }}' | sort -n | tail -n 10
-
This command loops over all of the processes in a system and creates an associative array in awk with the process name as the key and the sum of the RSS as the value. The associative array has the effect of summing a parent process and all of it's children. It then prints the top ten processes sorted by size. Show Sample Output
5ps axo rss,comm,pid | awk '{ proc_list[$2]++; proc_list[$2 "," 1] += $1; } END { for (proc in proc_list) { printf("%d\t%s\n", proc_list[proc "," 1],proc); }}' | sort -n | tail -n 10 - ‹ First < 393 394 395 396 397 > Last ›
