Monitor memory fine-grained usage (e.g. firefox)

Display the standard deviation of a column of numbers with awk

I was concerned that the other scripts didn't use the correct order of operations for the calculation. Variance needs to be squared before being summed, then divided by NR and then square rooted. Not sure if this method is correct but this is what I came up with. I think it works correctly but I'm not totally sure. If anyone could critique it that would be great.

Run a job in the background and prefix it's output with some string. This is particularly useful if you are running inside a docker container in a startup script (sue me, I'll run two jobs in a docker container if I want to) and you can run something like: /usr/sbin/nginx 2>&1 | awk '{print "[NGINX] " $0}' & /opt/jws-3.1/tomcat8/bin/catalina.sh run 2>&1 | awk '{print "[TOMCAT] " $0}' & while true; do ; done it can also be combined with tee to create a file log as well as a stdout log, for example if the script above where a script called "/bin/start-container.sh" then you could run /bin/start-container.sh | tee /var/log/containerlogs Show Sample Output

nginx 2>&1 | awk '{print "[NGINX] " $0}' &

Show current folder permission from /, useful for debugging ssh key permission

Handled all within awk. Takes the value from $PWD and constructs directory structures and runs commands against them. The gsub() call is not necessary, but added for better visibility.

What is my public IP-address?

Short command, easy to remember

Backup (archive) your Gmail IMAP folders.

Copies an entire hierarchy of mailboxes from the named POP3/IMAP/etc. source to the named destination. Mailboxes are created on the destination as needed. NOTE: The 'mailutil' is Washington's University 'mailutil' (apt-get install uw-mailutils). More examples $ mailutil transfer {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=you@gmail.com}INBOX Gmail/ ; mailutil check imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=you@gmail.com}\[Gmail\]/Spam If you use the utility in the first, append -v|-d flag(s) to the end the commands above (man mailutil).

Recover a deleted file

grep searches through a file and prints out all the lines that match some pattern. Here, the pattern is some string that is known to be in the deleted file. The more specific this string can be, the better. The file being searched by grep (/dev/sda1) is the partition of the hard drive the deleted file used to reside in. The ?-a? flag tells grep to treat the hard drive partition, which is actually a binary file, as text. Since recovering the entire file would be nice instead of just the lines that are already known, context control is used. The flags ?-B 25 -A 100? tell grep to print out 25 lines before a match and 100 lines after a match. Be conservative with estimates on these numbers to ensure the entire file is included (when in doubt, guess bigger numbers). Excess data is easy to trim out of results, but if you find yourself with a truncated or incomplete file, you need to do this all over again. Finally, the ?> results.txt? instructs the computer to store the output of grep in a file called results.txt.
