cd(), do a ls (or whatever you can imagine) after a cd, func to long please refer to description

some people on the net already use a cd(), but most of them break 'cd -' functionality, that is "go back where you have been previosly", or 'cd' which is "go back home". This cd() copes with that. Also when given a file name, go to the directory where this file is in. cd() { if [[ -n ${*} ]] then if [[ s${*}e == s-e ]] then builtin cd - elif [[ ! -d ${*} ]] then builtin cd "${*%/*}" else builtin cd "${*}" fi else builtin cd ~ fi ls -la }

Flip from one directory to another

if you cd into a directory then cd into another directory somewhere else then you run the cd - command you will go to the previous directory you was in!! To go back to the other directory just run it again. So if you are working in 2 different directories then this is the perfect command for you.

Duplicate a directory tree using tar and pipes

the f is for file and - stdout, This way little shorter. I Like copy-directory function It does the job but looks like SH**, and this doesn't understand folders with whitespaces and can only handle full path, but otherwise fine, function copy-directory () { ; FrDir="$(echo $1 | sed 's:/: :g' | awk '/ / {print $NF}')" ; SiZe="$(du -sb $1 | awk '{print $1}')" ; (cd $1 ; cd .. ; tar c $FrDir/ )|pv -s $SiZe|(cd $2 ; tar x ) ; } Show Sample Output

Get back to the root directory of a Windows drive (like c:\)

Useful to quickly get back to the Windows root directory of the current drive from a sub-directory within that drive. Works also without space between 'cd' and backslash: 'cd\' or 'cd \' have the same effect Show Sample Output

Click on a GUI window and show its process ID and command used to run the process

This command is useful when you want to know what process is responsible for a certain GUI application and what command you need to issue to launch it in terminal.

Advanced python tracing

Trace python statement execution and syscalls invoked during that simultaneously

Compare two CSV files, discarding any repeated lines

The value for the sort command's -k argument is the column in the CSV file to sort on. In this example, it sorts on the second column. You must use some form of the sort command in order for uniq to work properly.

Unlock more space form your hard drive

This command changes the reserved space for privileged process on '/dev/sda' to 1 per cent.

The `export` is unnecessary if it's only applicable to the one command.

print the name of each package APT knows [matching a prefix]

In this case, linux- is the prefix; simply running $apt-cache pkgnames would list every package APT knows about. The default APT config assumes -g, --generate; to use the cache as/is, you could similarly run: $apt-cache --no-generate pkgnames [prefix] Adding --all-names, like so: $apt-cache --no-generate --all-names pkgnames [prefix] would print all the packages APT knows about, using the cache as/is, including virtual packages and missing dependencies. This command was shamelessly stolen from the apt-cache(8) man-page.

list files recursively by size

Which processes are listening on a specific port (e.g. port 80)

swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"

list txt files order by time

list all txt files order by time, newest first

how to find the active X (X11/xorg) username and DISPLAY variable

Requires consolekit (works in e.g. Ubuntu). Here x11-display is DISPLAY
