Work for me on CentOS, grep and print ip addresses of ssh bruteforce attempts

If you run this command on a VMWare Virtual Machine, it will return the string "VMware Virtual Platform". If you run it on a physical machine, it will return nothing. Useful for having a script determine if it's running on a VM or not. Of course, you must have dmidecode installed for this to work.

Try it this way in a script: ISVM=$(dmidecode | awk '/VMware Virtual Platform/ {print $3,$4,$5}')

Then test if $ISVM has text in it, or is blank.

You're behind on your TV catch-up, but how far behind? This command tries to open mplayer against all files in the current dir. If it's a video file it will contain ID_LENGTH, which is summed and output in hours, minutes and seconds.

Someone better at awk could probably reduce this down a lot.

inputfile.txt is a space-separated textfile, 1st column contains the items (id) I want to put into my SQL statement.

39 = charactercode for single tick '

If inputfile.txt is a CSV-file separated by "," use FS= to define your own field-separator:

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)?

I sometimes (due to mismanagement!) end up with files in a git repo which have had their modes changed, but not their content. This one-liner lets me revert the mode changes, while leaving changed-content files be, so I can commit just the actual changes made.

I have a directory containing log files. This command delete all but the 5 latest logs. Here is how it works:

* The ls -t command list all files with the latest ones at the top

* The awk's expression means: for those lines greater than 5, delete.

This will calculate a running standard deviation in one pass and should never have the possibility for overflow that can happen with other implementations. I suppose there is a potential for underflow in the corner case where the deltas are small or the values themselves are small.
