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.

Psst. Open beta.
Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
- » The open beta is running a copy of the database that will not carry over to the final version. Don't post anything you don't mind losing.
- » If you wish to use your user account, you will probably need to reset your password.
Terminal - Commands tagged umask - 1 results
Listens for events in the directory. Each created file is displayed on stdout. Then each fileline is read by the loop and a command is run.
This can be used to force permissions in a directory, as an alternative for umask.
