Flip from one directory to another

if you cd into a directory then cd into another directory somewhere else then you run the cd - command you will go to the previous directory you was in!! To go back to the other directory just run it again. So if you are working in 2 different directories then this is the perfect command for you.

Create a Bash command server - You can send it scripts or commands to execute

Allow to launch nc like a daemon, in background until you still stop it.

(like this command: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/9978 )

For send script or commands from the client to the server, use nc too, like that :

cat script.sh | nc server 1025

echo "service openvpn restart" | nc server 1025

The loop's inside doesn't do anything, but we can add echo -e "\nCommand received\n" .

Search gzipped files

This decompresses the file and sends the output to STDOUT so it can be grepped. A good one to put in loops for searching directories of gzipped files, such as man pages.

Install a deb package

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

Install and run when a command is not found

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.
