This is longer than others on here. The reason for this is I have combined two different matrix commands so it would work on all computers.

Schematics: command [options] [paste your variable here] parameter command [options] [paste entire column of variables here] parameter ... (hard-code command "c" and parameter "e" according to your wishes: in example shown command = "cp -a" and parameter = "~") Features: - Quick exchange only variable part of a long command line - Make variable part to be an entire column of data (i.e. file list) - Full control while processing every single item Hints: Paste column of data from anywhere. I.e. utilize the Block Select Mode to drag, select and copy columns (In KDE Konsole with Ctrl+Alt pressed, or only Ctrl pressed in GNOME Terminal respectively). Disadvantages: You can paste only one single variable in a row. If there are more space separated variables in a row only first one will be processed, but you can arrange your variables in a column instead. To transpose rows to columns or vice versa look at Linux manual pages for 'cut' and 'paste'. TODO: - add edit mode to vary command "c" and parameter "e" on the fly - add one edit mode more to handle every list item different - add y/n/a (=All) instead of only y(=default)/n to allowed answers Disclaimer: The code is not optimized, only the basic idea is presented here. It's up to you to shorten code or extend the functionality. Show Sample Output
-1c="cp -a";e="~";echo -e "\npaste\n";i=0;k="1"; while [[ "$k" != "" ]]; do read -a k;r[i]=$k;((i++));done;i=0;while :;do t=${r[i]};[ "$t" == "" ] && break; g=$(echo $c ${r[i]} $e);echo -e $g "\ny/n?";read y;[ "$y" != "n" ] && eval $g;((i++));done -

Disper: http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/ Moving Gnome Panels to the external screen is done using gconf-editor, changing property "/apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/monitor", as well as "/apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/monitor" to int value "1". This can be done from the command line using ' gconftool-2 --set "/apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/monitor" --type integer "1"' so a nice script can be written.

Check if your HTTP server is vulnerable to a very effective variant of slow HTTP attack called R.U.D.Y (R-U-Dead-Yet?).

Affected server will exhaust its maximum concurrent connection pool and deny additional connection attempts from legitimate clients. Use it with caution!
