I used this command to recursively gather all mp3 files that were previously imported into their own directories (sorted by band name) in Songbird.
1find . -name '*.mp3' -type f -exec sh -c 'exec cp -f "$@" /home/user/dir' find-copy {} + -

-geometry (preserves values of height and width given, and aspect ratio). WARNING: While 'resize' creates resized copies of original files, 'mogrify' works on the original files, replacing them. It will overwrite the source files, use with caution, and backup regularly.
2mogrify -geometry 800x600 *.jpg -
5cat -n

No need $_ netp ;)
0perl -pe 'print "$. "' <file> -
This is similar to how you would generate a file with all zeros
dd if=/dev/zero of=allzeros bs=1024 count=2k4tr '\000' '\377' < /dev/zero | dd of=allones bs=1024 count=2k -
-1grep -n . datafile ;
-
This command prints all lines of a file together with is line number. Show Sample Output
-1perl -ne 'print "$. - $_"' infile.txt -
Bulk downloads the comic strip JPG files for the adult cartoon Savitabhabhi, storing each set in it's own folder. Requires manual removal of "non-image" files that maybe created because each series may differ in length. The command can be easily adapted for UNIX flavours. You need to have cURL in your path.
-1for /L %%x in (1,1,16) do mkdir %%x & curl -R -e http://www.kirtu.com -o %%x/#1.jpg http://www.kirtu.com/toon/content/sb%x/english/sb%x_en_[001-070].jpg -
An improvement of the original (at: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2872/update-twitter-via-curl) in the sense that you see a "from cURL" under your status message instead of just a "from API" ;-) Twitter automatically links it to the cURL home page. Show Sample Output
14curl -u twitter-username -d status="Hello World, Twitter!" -d source="cURL" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml -
1watch -n 1 -d "finger"
-
require mimms package
1mimms mms://Your_url.wmv -
For vi(m) users : Add it in your ~/.bashrc Add an "exit" @ the end if you are masochist ;) Show Sample Output
-1alias :q='tput setaf 1; echo >&2 "this is NOT vi(m) :/"; tput sgr0' -
Execute this in the root of your music library and this recurses through the directories and normalizes each folder containing mp3s as a batch. This assumes those folders hold an album each. The command "normalize-audio" may go by "normalize" on some systems.
-2find . -type d -exec sh -c "normalize-audio -b \"{}\"/*.mp3" \; -
@putnamhill, no need if statement in that case. && is a AND and || is a OR
6nc -zw2 www.example.com 80 && echo open -
Requires netcat.
2if (nc -zw2 www.example.com 80); then echo open; fi -
Also works in places where reset does not.
1echo <ctrl+v><ctrl+o><enter> -
will search trought pidgin conversation logs for "searchterm", and output them stripping the html tags. The "sed" command is optionnal if your logs are stored in plain text format.
2grep -Ri searchterm ~/.purple/logs/* | sed -e 's/<.*?>//g' -

// This is description for the old command: Unfortunately we to encode the URL. It can't be done with bash (without building it ourselves) so I used Perl? Example with Perl:
curl -s http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=`perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=commandlinefu&aq=0&oq=commandline');"`Example without Perl:curl http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=http://www.google.comMost urls doesn't use & and ? anymore (SEO etc) so in most cases you can just use the simple version. :) Show Sample Output0curl -s "http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=[long_url]" -
This version uses host and no ruby.
1while read n; do host $n; done < list -
-2ruby -e 'File.foreach("list") {|i| print `nslookup #{i}`}'
-
0git clean -n | sed 's/Would remove //; /Would not remove/d;' | xargs mv -t stuff/
-
