commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/

First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

In order to create a new encrypted filing system managed by cryptmount,
you can use the supplied 'cryptmount-setup' program, which can be used
by the superuser to interactively configure a basic setup.
Alternatively, suppose that we wish to setup a new encrypted filing
system, that will have a target-name of "opaque". If we have a free
disk partition available, say /dev/hdb63, then we can use this directly
to store the encrypted filing system. Alternatively, if we want to
store the encrypted filing system within an ordinary file, we need to
create space using a recipe such as:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/opaque.fs bs=1M count=512
.
cryptmount --generate-key 32 opaque
.
cryptmount --prepare opaque
.
mke2fs /dev/mapper/opaque
.
cryptmount --release opaque
.
mkdir /home/crypt
.
cryptmount -m opaque
.
cryptmount -u opaque
For detail see sample output
Best result when file size less than half of RAM size
Faster then other method using wget
For obtain all commands use
nu=`curl http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse |grep -o "Terminal - All commands -.*results$" | grep -oE "[[:digit:],]{4,}" | sed 's/,//'`;
curl http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse/sort-by-votes/plaintext/[0-"$nu":25] | grep -vE "_curl_|\.com by David" > clf-ALL.txt
For more version specific
nu=`curl http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse |grep -o "Terminal - All commands -.*results$" | grep -oE "[[:digit:],]{4,}" | sed 's/,//'`;
curl http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse/sort-by-votes/plaintext/[0-"$nu":25] | grep -vE "_curl_|\.com by David" > clf-ALL_"$nu".txt
Also download dirctly from my dropbox
My drop box invitaion link is http://db.tt/sRdJWvQq . Use it and get free 2.5 GB space.
Faster thumbnail creation than '-itsoffset'
ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i test.avi -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x240 test.jpg
Handle any bad named file which contains ",',\n,\b,\t,` etc
Store the file name as null character separated list
find . -print0 >name.lst
and retrieve it using
read -r -d ""
Eg:
find . -print0 >name.lst;
cat name.lst| while IFS="" read -r -d "" file;
do
ls -l "$file";
done
Add the followin to ~/.bashrc
#colour
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;37m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'
Then exit from the shell.
exit
some time need to exit twice
exit
exit
Now the OS will boot with the new parameters.
From live CD mount(open) the Ubuntu installed drive.
Copy the location (press Ctrl+l, Ctrl+c ) eg: /media/ubuntuuuu
Open terminal (Apllication->accessories->terminal)
Type this:
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntuuuu /dev/sda
(replace /media/ubuntuuuu with what u got (ie paste))
Will show success message. Now reboot
Consider the following simple situation [ reading something using while and read ]
[See script 1 in sample output]
---------------------------------------------------
The variable var is assigned with "nullll" at first. Inside the while loop [piped while] it is assigned with "whillleeee". [Onlly 2 assignments stmts]. Outside the loop the last assigned value for "var" [and no variable] inside the while can't be accessed [Due to pipe, var is executed in a sub shell].
In these type of situation variables can be accessed by modifying as follows.
[See script 2 in sample output]
___________________________
Vary helpful when reading a set of items, say file names, stored on a file [or variable] to an array an use it later.
Is there any other way 2 access variables inside and outside the loop ??
Changes are displayed when they are written to the file
to exit
This is not printing, real editing using the text editor.
