Display the standard deviation of a column of numbers with awk

I was concerned that the other scripts didn't use the correct order of operations for the calculation. Variance needs to be squared before being summed, then divided by NR and then square rooted. Not sure if this method is correct but this is what I came up with. I think it works correctly but I'm not totally sure. If anyone could critique it that would be great.

Auto-kill auto-spawned process

Given a process name (kdiff3 in this example) that keeps auto-spawning/starting, auto-kill until it stops, assuming there is an upper limit (if not, reboot). This was beneficial after I clicked the DIFF button in a git GUI on a merge commit. 2000+ files were being opened one after the other in my diff program (kdiff3). Each time I closed one (or quit Kdiff3), the next file would be auto-opened in Kdiff3.

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.

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)

Sort a character string

Sorts a character string, using common shell commands.

Display IP : Count of failed login attempts

The lastb command presents you with the history of failed login attempts (stored in /var/log/btmp). The reference file is read/write by root only by default. This can be quite an exhaustive list with lots of bots hammering away at your machine. Sometimes it is more important to see the scale of things, or in this case the volume of failed logins tied to each source IP. The awk statement determines if the 3rd element is an IP address, and if so increments the running count of failed login attempts associated with it. When done it prints the IP and count. The sort statement sorts numerically (-n) by column 3 (-k 3), so you can see the most aggressive sources of login attempts. Note that the ':' character is the 2nd column, and that the -n and -k can be combined to -nk. Please be aware that the btmp file will contain every instance of a failed login unless explicitly rolled over. It should be safe to delete/archive this file after you've processed it.
