Commands tagged bash

This commands queries the delicious api then runs the xml through xml2, grabs the urls cuts out the first two columns, passes through uniq to remove duplicates if any, and then goes into linkchecker who checks the links. the links go the blacklist in ~/.linkchecker/blacklist. please see the manual pages for further info peeps. I took me a few days to figure this one out. I how you enjoy it. Also don't run these api more then once a few seconds you can get banned by delicious see their site for info. ~updated for no recursive

echo 'alias monitor_off="sleep 1; xset dpms force standby"' >> ~/.bash_aliases ; . ~/.bash_aliases # now monitor_off does what you think

This allows you to search through your history using the up and down arrows ? i.e. type "cd /" and press the up arrow and you'll search through everything in your history that starts with "cd /".

this bash command sets it so that when you type "screen ", it searches your running screens, and present valid auto-complete choices. The output is .

Note: You must have programmable completion enabled. Check with "shopt progcomp", set with "shopt -s progcomp"

This exports all lines of input file as environment variables, assuming each line is like these:

OH=YEAH

FU=UUUU

echo "ls" > script.bash;

This is my script, a simple 'ls'.

gpg -c script.bash;

Here I encrypt and passord-protect my script. This creates file script.bash.gpg.

cat script.bash.gpg | gpg -d --no-mdc-warning | bash

Here I open file script.bash.gpg, decrypt it and execute it.

The original command doesn't work for me - does something weird with sed (-r) and xargs (-i) with underscores all over...

This one works in OSX Lion. I haven't tested it anywhere else, but if you have bash, gpg and perl, it should work.

just an alternative to setting the size, this allows you to scroll up and see your previous commands in a given session but when you logout the history is not saved. That's the only advantage to doing it this way..

Also detaches session if attached from somewhere else.

Runs a diff on two files ignore comments and blank lines (diff -I=RE does not work as expected). Adapted from a post found on stackexchange.

I used to do this sorting with:

But this would cause the line (2nd column) to be sorted in descending (reverse) order as well sa the 1st column. So this will ensure the 2nd column is in ascending alphabetical order.

This is a modified version of the OP, wrapped into a bash function.

This version handles newlines and other whitespace correctly, the original has problems with the thankfully rare case of newlines in the file names.

It also allows checking an arbitrary number of directories against each other, which is nice when the directories that you think might have duplicates don't have a convenient common ancestor directory.

This attempts to load a Perl Module (-M flag) and use version 9999, since no module has a version this high, Perl exits either a) telling you the version of the module installed or b) tells you it can't find the module.

Shows the ?rendering? for each of the 256 colours in both the bold and normal variant. Using seq is helpful to get even lines, passing $((COLUMNS*2)) to column sort-of-handles the nonprintable characters.

Shows the path if the module is installed or exit quietly (to simply avoid the 'No documentation found' msg).

This version uses a bash function and does not print the path to the module.

If you can make shorter version of this listgetter, you are welcome to paste it here :)

Actually this is a shorter version that fits the 255 chars limit of this resource. The full version shows status in the right top corner:

mpc is defined like this:

function mpc() {

echo "$*" | nc 192.168.1.1 6600

}

do 1000 at a time so that if your doodoo is deep you can avoid avoid "command-line too big" error
