I took me a few days to figure this one out. I how you enjoy it.

This is very similar to the first example except that it employs the 'exec' argument of the find command rather than piping the result to xargs. The second example is nice and tidy but different *NIXs may not have as capable a grep command.
-1find . -name "*.php" -exec grep -il searchphrase {} \; -

The while loop is an overkill, it would be simpler to prevent the file to be modified. That said, none of the proposed solutions are such: a real one would go to the source of the problem.
-1chkmod -w /etc/resolve.conf -
Make sure that find does not touch anything other than regular files, and handles non-standard characters in filenames while passing to xargs.

Combines a few repetitive tasks when compiling source code. Especially useful when a hypen in a file-name breaks tab completion. 1.) wget source.tar.gz 2.) tar xzvf source.tar.gz 3.) cd source 4.) ls From there you can run ./configure, make and etc. Show Sample Output
-1wtzc () { wget "$@"; foo=`echo "$@" | sed 's:.*/::'`; tar xzvf $foo; blah=`echo $foo | sed 's:,*/::'`; bar=`echo $blah | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/' -e 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'`; cd $bar; ls; } -
This is just a little snippit to split a large file into smaller chunks (4mb in this example) and then send the chunks off to (e)mail for archival using mutt. I usually encrypt the file before splitting it using openssl:
openssl des3 -salt -k <password> -in file.tgz -out file.tgz.des3To restore, simply save attachments and rejoin them using:cat file.tgz.* > output_name.tgzand if encrypted, decrypt using:openssl des3 -d -salt -k <password> -in file.tgz.des3 -out file.tgzedit: (changed "g" to "e" for political correctness)-1split -b4m file.tgz file.tgz. ; for i in file.tgz.*; do SUBJ="Backup Archive"; MSG="Archive File Attached"; echo $MSG | mutt -a $i -s $SUBJ YourEmail@(E)mail.com -
-1if [ -x /etc/*-release ]; then cat /etc/*-release ; else cat /etc/*-version ; fi
