open man page of last used command

when we work with terminal often we open man pages for help if we did some mistakes

and when we want to open the man page for command we are working with this one helps

as many people may be knowing that '!!' performs the last command action

we use it in sudo !! to perform the last action with root previleages

man !! will also be helpful and handy

thanx

check if your processor is 32 or 64 bit

i686 = 32 bits

the command "getconf LONG_BIT" will work just as well.

v () { echo "$@"; "$@"; }

Functions: echo

Echo a command, then execute it

You can use this in shell scripts to show which commands are actually run. Just prepend every "critical line" with "v˽".

$TMP=/tmp

echo "Let me create a directory for you"

v mkdir $TMP/new

In scripts this can be more useful than "set -x", because that can be very verbose with variable assignments etc.

Another nice use is if you prepend every "critical" command with "v", then you can test your script by commenting out the actual execution.

Display a random man page

Build an awk array with all commands and then select a random one at the end.

This avoids spawning extra processes for counting with wc or generating random numbers.

Explicitly call /bin/ls to avoid interactions with aliases.

Replace spaces with newlines

This command is useful for separating a text file where all the words are in one line. Any group of spaces will be replaced with a single newline. Instead of one long line of tokens. You'll have a long list of tokens. One token per line.
