Split a file one piece at a time, when using the split command isn't an option (not enough disk space)

bs = buffer size (basically defined the size of a "unit" used by count and skip)

count = the number of buffers to copy (16m * 32 = 1/2 gig)

skip = (32 * 2) we are grabbing piece 3...which means 2 have already been written so skip (2 * count)

i will edit this later if i can to make this all more understandable

move a lot of files over ssh

Useful to move many files (thousands or millions files) over ssh. Faster than scp because this way you save a lot of tcp connection establishments (syn/ack packets).

If using a fast lan (I have just tested gigabyte ethernet) it is faster to not compress the data so the command would be:

tar -cf - /home/user/test | ssh user@sshServer 'cd /tmp; tar xf -'

list and sort files by size in reverse order (file size in human readable output)

This command list and sort files by size and in reverse order, the reverse order is very helpful when you have a very long list and wish to have the biggest files at the bottom so you don't have scrool up.

The file size info is in human readable output, so ex. 1K..234M...3G

Tested with Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Edition)

Append output to the beginning of a file.

Adds the stdout (standard output) to the beginning of logfile.txt. Change "command" to whatever command you like, such as 'ls' or 'date', etc. It does this by adding the output to a temporary file, then adding the previous contents of logfile.txt to the temp file, then copying the new contents back to the logfile.txt and removing the temp file.

Copy all files. All normal files, all hidden files and all files starting with - (minus).

./* is for copying files starting with -

.[!.]* is for copying hidden files and avoiding copying files from the parent directory.

..?* is for copying files starting with .. (avoids the directory ..)

/path/to/dir the path to the directory where the files should be copied

Can also be used as a script. Input argument is /path/to/dir

in tcsh, replace .[!.]* with .[^.]*
