All commands

the google-api gives you only one translation which is sometimes insufficent. this function gives you all translations, so you can choose which one fits best.

file listing in /directory/path/* of specific files such as javascript(js) .

Tail curren postfix maillog.

At times I find that I need to loop through a file where each value that I need to do something with is not on a separate line, but rather separated with a ":" or a ";". In this instance, I create a loop within which I define 'IFS' to be something other than a whitespace character. In this example, I iterate through a file which only has one line, and several fields separated with ":". The counter helps me define how many times I want to repeat the loop.

Want to remove RAR password to gain access to the files? Follow the sep-by-step guidance in the article and try to recover RAR password with 3 different attack options: brute-force attack, brute force with mask and dictionary attack.

This article introduces a step-by-step guide to create a password for SQL server. It also tells you how to easily remove SQL Server password with SQL password remover if you forget your SQL Server password.

Reconstruct standard permissions for directories and files in current directory

Note: Replace 200000 with drive bytes/512, and /dev/sdx with the destination drive/partition. ;)

Note: You may need to install pipebench, this is easy with "sudo apt-get install pipebench" on Ubuntu.

The reason I hunted around for the pieces to make up this command is that I wanted to specifically flip all of the bits on a new HDD, before running an Extended SMART Self-Test (actually, the second pass, as I've already done one while factory-zeroed) to ensure there are no physical faults waiting to compromise my valuable data. There were several sites that came up in a Google search which had a zero-fill command with progress indicator, and one or two with a fill-with-ones command, but none that I could find with these two things combined (I had to shuffle around the dd command(s) to get this to happen without wasting speed on an md5sum as well).

For reference, these are the other useful-looking commands I found in my search:

Zero-fill drive "/dev/sdx", with progress indicator and md5 verification (run sudo fdisk -l to get total disk bytes, then divide by 512 and enter the resulting value into this command for a full wipe)

And this command for creating a file filled with ones is my other main source (besides the above command and man pages, that is - I may be a Linux newbie but I do read!):

Hope someone finds this useful! :)

if you use disk-based swap then it can defeat the purpose of this function.

Better than using grep and xargs, also you only need to provide the script once.

recursive find and replace. important stuff are grep -Z and zargs -0 which add zero byte after file name so sed can work even with file names with spaces.
