  • List all dependencies manifests so you can install them. In a scenario where you want to deploy a number of web applications and run their dependency managers, how could you run all of them in a systematic order. One of the complexity is to ensure you get only your own top level dependencies. That way, you don recursively call development dependencies of your own dependencies. Otherwise you might end up discovering dependency management manifests that are already been pulled by your own projects. # Using this command This command helps me find them and I can then run what?s required to pull them from their respective sources. This command assumes the following: 1. Your code checkouts are in a flat repository layout (i.e. not nested). 2. Finds manifests for: - NPM (nodejs), - Composer (php), - bower, - requirements.txt (Python), and - git submodules Show Sample Output

Keep a copy of the raw Youtube FLV,MP4,etc stored in /tmp/
Certain Flash video players (e.g. Youtube) write their video streams to disk in /tmp/ , but the files are unlinked. i.e. the player creates the file and then immediately deletes the filename (unlinking files in this way makes it hard to find them, and/or ensures their cleanup if the browser or plugin should crash etc.) But as long as the flash plugin's process runs, a file descriptor remains in its /proc/ hierarchy, from which we (and the player) still have access to the file. The method above worked nicely for me when I had 50 tabs open with Youtube videos and didn't want to have to re-download them all with some tool.
