Get just the IP address for a given hostname. For best results, make this a function in your shell rc file so that it can be used for things like traceroute: Titus:~$ traceroute `getip foo.com` traceroute to 64.94.125.138 (64.94.125.138), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets Show Sample Output

-1find . -type f -name '*.c' -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}' -

When you press "cmd+n" in TextMate, you can have "HTML" language as default document format... You can also define other languages too. You need to know the UUID of your language bundle.

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.
-1find -amin +[n] -delete -
1.) my profile ends with $USER not with .default 2.) only grep for the first occurrence because some extensions have the translated name also inside the install.rdf Show Sample Output

This is an easy way to quickly get a status for a device in multipath on SLES systems, as long as the server is configured based on Novell's standards, where multipathed disks are referred to by /dev/disk/by-... tree. Make sure to replace name_of_vg with your Volume Group name.
-1pvscan | awk '/name_of_vg/ {print $2}' | sed 's/[-|/|]/ /g' | cut -d " " -f7 -
-1gethostip -d hostname

Instead of dumping the entire query to the screen, it will use 'less -S' to handle pagination.

-1In MySQL client, \P less -S -

This is a bit hacky, but if you're setting up a bunch of new LUNs, it can save a bunch of time. Also check out sfdisk. The fdisk will fail if, for example, a partition table already exists.
-1echo -e "n\np\n1\n\n\nt\n8e\nw" | fdisk /dev/sdX -
* Make a FIFO file named replypipe * listen on 1234 * pass the request to unix socket * unix socket will reply to replypipe * replypipe will write reply to the client

This is helpful if you connect to several networks with different subnets such as 192 networks, 10 networks, etc. Cuts first three octets of ip from ifconfig command and runs nmap ping scan on that subnet. Replace wlan0 with your interface. Assumes class c network, if class b use: cut -d "." -f 1-2 and change nmap command accordingly.
-1dhclient wlan0 && sbnt=$(ifconfig wlan0 |grep "inet addr" |cut -d ":" -f 2 | cut -d "." -f 1-3) && nmap $sbnt.0/24 -sP -
This shows a list of channels from seeon.tv website to watch shows and movies
