Check These Out
A common mistake in Bash is to write command-line where there's command a reading a file and whose result is redirected to that file.
It can be easily avoided because of :
1) warnings "-bash: file.txt: cannot overwrite existing file"
2) options (often "-i") that let the command directly modify the file
but I like to have that small function that does the trick by waiting for the first command to end before trying to write into the file.
Lots of things could probably done in a better way, if you know one...

I used to use the Firefox "View page info" feature a lot to determine how stale the web page I was looking at was. Now that I use mostly Chrome I miss that feature, so here is a command line alternative using wget. The -S says to display the server response, the --spider says to not download any files/pages, just fetch the header. The output goes to stderr, so to grep it you use 2>&1 to combine the stderr stream with stdout, the pipe that to grep for Last-Modified.
You can use curl instead if you have it installed, like this:
$ curl --head -s http://osswin.sourceforge.net | grep Mod
I often use it to find recently added ou removed device, or using find in /dev, or anything similar.
Just run the command, plug the device, and wait to see him and only him
