Assumes that the files are named as such: 01-Filename.mp3

If your files are named differently, change the number of periods in the sed 's/...\(.*\)/\1' bit to match the numbers of characters you need to cut off the front of the file.

Note: This only writes the titles.

Assumes that the files are named in numerical order (ie. 01 Filename.mp3). It will set the track number as tracknumber/totaltracks (ie. 1/14). This will write both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags.

Note: This only writes the track numbers.

this will open a new tab in firefox for every line in a file

the sleep is removable but i found that if you have a large list of urls 50+, and no sleep, it will try to open all the urls at once and this will cause them all to load a lot slower, also depending on the ram of your system sleep gives you a chance to close the tabs before they overload your ram, removing & >2/dev/null will yield unpredictable results.

Unmounts all CIFS-based network drives. Very nice for shutting down network mounts on a Linux laptop just prior to going to sleep.

Just an alternative with more advanced formating for readability purpose. It now uses colors (too much for me but it's a kind of proof-of-concept), and adjust columns.

after kernel build with make deb-pkg, I like to install the 4 newest packages that exist in the directory. Beware: might be fewer for you....

since awk was already there one can use it instead of the 2 greps. might not be faster, but fast enough

Very simple web server listening on port 80 will serve index.html file or whatever file you like pointing your browser at http://your-IP-address/index.html for example.

If your web server is down for maintenance and you'd like to inform your visitors about it, quickly and easily, you just have to put into the index.html file the right HTML code and you are done! Of course you need to be root to run the command using port 80.

Find all files in /var/spool/mqueue older than 7 days, pass to perl to efficiently delete them (faster than xargs or -exec when you've got millions or hundreds of thousands to delete). Naturally the type, directory, and file age vars can be adjusted to meet your specific needs.

Instead of deleting an existing symlink and then re-creating it pointing at the new location, it is possible to perform the same action with this one command.

Interesting discussion on whether this is possible to do atomically here: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=526119

Specify the size in bytes using the 'c' option for the -size flag. The + sign reads as "bigger than". Then execute du on the list; sort in reverse mode and show the first 10 occurrences.

By default, slot 1 is used for OTP purposes and validates against the Yubikey servers. Running the command above will replace that. If you have a Yubikey 2 or above, you can change -1 to -2 and program the second slot with a strong static key.

Linux specific, requires iproute2 (but most distros have that by default now)

This command is Linux compatible.

It will prompt the user for a new password at next logon

Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous

so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel

Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..."

Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).

There is a huge number of supported "languages" to which you can export your .fig figures to. See. 'man fig2dev' (http://linux.die.net/man/1/fig2dev).

Requires installed command line PHP. Also, try at different dimensions of terminal window

Will rot 13 whatever parameter follows 'rot13', whether it is a string or a file. Additionally, it will rot 5 each digit in a number

I'm bummed that this took 228 characters. I'd like to see a simpler version.

A *.tar.gz file needs to be unzipped & then untarred. Previously I might have unzipped first with

and then untarred the result with

(Options are extract, verbose, file)

Using the -z (decompress) option on tar avoids the use of gzip (or gunzip) first.

Additionally the -C option will specify the directory to extract to.

Loop is needed if you have more then one card.

probably only works if you have one graphics card.

used this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/

as reference

can be expanded, for example:

will just get the amount of prefetchable memory

compare to:

which does not give the size (it does give byte ranges and you could calculate the size from that, but that's a pain)

Also uses a command which is not standard on linux; wheras lspci is a core utility provided by most systems
