for one line per process:

for established sockets only:

for just process names:

or

show only the name of the apps that are using internet

Show apps that use internet connection at the moment.

Can be used to discover what programms create internet traffic. Skip the part after awk to get more details, though it will not work showing only unique processes.

This version will work with other languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, if the word for "ESTABLISHED" still contain the fragment "STAB"(e.g. "ESTABELECIDO")

This corrects duplicate output from the previous command.

Has anyone an idea why the uniq doesn't work propperly here (see sample output)?

Handles everything except octets with 255. Ran through ip generator with variable octet lengths.

This obey that you don't match any broadcast or network addresses and stay between 1.1.1.1 - 254.254.254.254

Make sure that find does not touch anything other than regular files, and handles non-standard characters in filenames while passing to xargs.

needs no GNU tools, as far as I see it

saves one command. Needs GNU grep though :-(

The grep switches eliminate the need for awk and sed. Modifying vim with -p will show all files in separate tabs, -o in separate vim windows. Just wish it didn't hose my terminal once I exit vim!!

This will drop you into vim to edit all files that contain your grep string.

This will allow you to watch as matches occur in real-time. To filter out only ACCEPT, DROP, LOG..etc, then run the following command: watch 'iptables -nvL | grep -v "0 0" && grep "ACCEPT"' The -v is used to do an inverted filter. ie. NOT "0 0"

Check which files are opened by Firefox then sort by largest size (in MB). You can see all files opened by just replacing grep to "/". Useful if you'd like to debug and check which extensions or files are taking too much memory resources in Firefox.

Best to put it in a file somewhere in your path. (I call the file spath)

#!/bin/bash

IFS=:; find $PATH | grep $1

Usage: $ spath php

-exec works better and faster then using a pipe

doesn't do case-insensitive filenames like iname but otherwise likely to be faster

to omit "grep -v", put some brackets around a single character

Shows all those processes; useful when building some massively forking script that could lead to zombies when you don't have your waitpid()'s done just right.

Remove newlines from output.

One character shorter than awk /./ filename and doesn't use a superfluous cat.

To be fair though, I'm pretty sure fraktil was thinking being able to nuke newlines from any command is much more useful than just from one file.

Pipe any output to "grep ." and blank lines will not be printed.
