remove files with access time older than a given date.

If you want to remove files with a given modification time replace %[email protected] with %[email protected] Use %[email protected] for the modification time.

The time is expressed in epoc but is easy to use any other format.

This may seem like a long command, but it is great for making sure all file permissions are kept in tact. What it is doing is streaming the files in a sub-shell and then untarring them in the target directory. Please note that the -z command should not be used for local files and no perfomance increase will be visible as overhead processing (CPU) will be evident, and will slow down the copy.

You also may keep simple with, but you don't have the progress info:

Remove all empty directories below the current directory. If directories become empty as the results of this, remove those too.

Remove dashes, also validates if it's a valid UUID (in contrast to simple string-replacement)

Deletes files older than "n" minutes ago. Note the plus sign before the n is important and means "greater than n". This is more precise than atime, since atime is specified in units of days. NOTE that you can use amin/atime, mmin/mtime, and cmin/ctime for access, modification, and change times, respectively. Also, using -delete is faster than piping to xargs, since no piping is needed.

You want bash to keep running the command until it is successful (until the exit code is 0). Give a dummy command, which sets the exit code to 1 then keep running your command until it exits cleanly

Use this command to determine what version of MythTV you are running on a Debian system. Tested on a Mythbuntu installation.

This is the simple revision number on stdout, that can be fed to any useful/fun script of yours. Setting LC_ALL is useful if you use another locale, in which case "Revision" is translated and cannot be found. I use this with doxygen to insert my source files revisions into the doc. An example in Doxyfile:

FILE_VERSION_FILTER = "function svn_filter { LC_ALL=C svn info $1 | grep Revision | awk '{print $2}'; }; svn_filter"

Share your ideas about what to do with the revision number !
