All commands

Install a deb package you have downloaded (synaptic has to be closed).

(dpkg-dev needs to be installed)

After that you may have to run following:

sudo apt-get install -f

(that should fix any dependency problems)

I am using ubuntu linux

Create a directory called "dirname" and navigate into it.

Work only with bash and apt-file installed.

When it found an unknow command, it will search for a file named "scribus" (in my example), in a folder named bin and then install the corresponding package.

After installation, it will run the command.

Usefull juste after reinstalling linux and missing lot of package.

Thanks for the comments

evento.sh needed for awk syntax

the aplay command makes a camera sound. It takes a picture of who looked at the display

#!/bin/bash

# evento.sh: deteta evento e fala

awk '{print}' | espeak -v pt -stdin

awk '/e/{print "emergencia"}' | espeak -v pt -stdin

aplay -q /home/mm/bash/camera.wav # -q inibe verbose do comand aplay

exit 0

You can redirect the pipe to > file.txt

waste the band width

for bash commands don't use man use help

Type out the command and simply press to see the list of options for that command without having to type --help.

This is useful for working out whether the file that you are unzipping is an evil zip file which will create 200 new files in your current direction

A very interesting man page!

For users looking to simplify management of large entries in files and directories, this command is the key to fun and simplicity. Using the power sort, only a couple of seconds are necessary to accomplish what would take minutes or hours in ?standard? client applications.

tail -n X | head -n 1

prints a specific line, where X is the line number

This is a simple command, but useful when you don't remember what episode need to see :D

Nice for ie6 for linux

Get the complete distro information from shell prompt like distributor ID,code name etc.

Compile *.c files with "gcc -Wall" in actual directory, using as output file the file name without extension.

Opens a new shell as root. Useful if you want to run a lot of commands as superuser without needing to sudo each of them.

this application monitors the apps you use most often and load them into memory with their libraries and other dependencies.

So now, when you launch Firefox or Thunderbird or OpenOffice, the display is immediate as on Mac.
