Commands using alias

An alias i made for myself to play music in a faster way.

Works great when you have Guake / Tilda installed (Console that drops down like in the game QUAKE)

---

I put this in my bash_alias file (I'm on ubuntu, the bash_alias file does autostart with the right config) but it works putting it in bashrc too. Or anything that autostarts when the console is opened.

Needs Mplayer and music files to work. With out music theres nothing to play!

Oh, and also, without modification, this alias will try to play stuff from your ~/Music folder! (case sensitive). Make sure that folder exists and has music OR edit this alias to fit your needs.

Just type 'opened' and get all files currently opened for edit.

By 'pst' you can print out process tree with all details about all processes (including a command line, PID, and the current process you are running in).

By 'pst username' you can get an information about processes belonging to the particular user 'username'.

Alias two dots to move to parent directory. Put it into your .bashrc or .profile file.

change ":" in path for new line and associate word path to var $PATH

Place the line above in your ~/.bahsrc file. Now every time you issue the 'vb' command, you invoke the vim editor to edit it, then source it so the changes take effect immediately.

Notes:

* This mechanism is not working well if your .bashrc contains commands that should not be sourced more than once.

* This trick also work for your csh or tclsh users: place the following line in your ~/.cshrc file:

alias vc 'vim ~/.cshrc; source ~/.cshrc

Thank you adzap for pointing out the missing quote

allows simple C shell access to the power of bc - never could figure out how to do the same thing with Bash - that's why I use tcsh most of the time.

Force empties the user trash

An easy way to create aliases for moving between many directories

I often need to add a timestamp to a file, but I never seem to remember the exact format string that has to be passed to the date command to get a compact datetime string like 20090220T231410 (i.e yyyymmddThhmmss, the ISO 8601 format popular outside the US)

Turn off almost all of dig's output except for what you'd see in a zone file. This can also be put into ~/.digrc.

usage: renam

in a script you must replace $PPID with $(awk '{print $4}' /prod/$PPID/stat)

Depends on GET. You can also replace GET with curl, or `wget -qO -` if GET isn't available.

similar to perl chop()

arguably better than using the driver interface. lots of potentially cool stuff to be done w/ the dcop client.

If you come from a DOS background and accidentally use DOS commands often, this and others like it can be helpful. Add to your .bash_profile, or wherever you keep such things.

apt-get must be run as root, and it is useless to run it as your own user. So just run it as root. Saves you the "sudo !!" every time you're adding a package.

For 'bash'
