Kill a process (in windows)

The taskkill command has the option of the curve, for a complete list just type: taskkill /? As we know, but to give a practical example, suppose you want to act only on the user's processes Cicciopalla use this command

List the size (in human readable form) of all sub folders from the current location

Parsing the output of ls is never a good idea for any reason. Using find this way:

- works with files that have spaces in their names.

- actually lists "sub folders" and not of all files and folders.

- does not break if there are a huge number of files in the current directory.

View process statistics in realtime

A simple but effective replacement for ps aux. I used to waste my time running ps over and over; top is the way to go. It also allows complex sorting options. Press q to exit "nicely" (Ctrl + C is always an option, of course). Note that the list updates each second, resorting in the process; if you're trying to grab a specific PID, you might be better off with ps.

htop

Alternatively, htop is available, though it may not come pre-installed. htop is slightly more interactive than top and includes color coding, visuals, and a nice interface for selecting and then killing processes. (Thanks to bwoodacre for this great tool.)

Kill a process by application

The pgrep retrieves the PID, then the KILL receive it, and kill it...

It works also if the application has more than one instance....

Kill a daemon by name, not by PID

Just find out the daemon with $ netstat -atulpe. Then type in his name and he gets the SIGTERM.

Post to twitter via curl, Windows version

Aside from curl one will need iconv windows binary since windows lacks a native utf-8 cli interface. In my case I need a proxy in China and iconv to convert gbk status string into utf-8. GnuWin32 is a good choice with loads of coreutils natively ported to Windows

"FOR /f" is the solution to pass iconv output to curl.

If you need to print some portion of a huge file, let's say you want to print from line 200 to 300, you can use this command to print the line from LINE1 to LINE2 of file FILE.
