Find corrupted jpeg image files

Finds all corrupted jpeg files in current directory and its subdirectories. Displays the error or warning found.

The jpeginfo is part of the jpeginfo package in debian.

Should you wish to only get corrupted filenames, use cut to extract them :

Monitor logs in Linux using Tail

Works in Ubuntu, I hope it will work on all Linux machines. For Unixes, tail should be capable of handling more than one file with '-f' option.

This command line simply take log files which are text files, and not ending with a number, and it will continuously monitor those files.

Putting one alias in .profile will be more useful.

Replace all tabs with spaces in an application

Note that this assumes the application is an SVN checkout and so we have to throw away all the .svn files before making the substitution.

List last opened tabs in firefox browser

Tuned for short command line - you can set the path to sessionstore.js more reliable instead of use asterixes etc.

Usable when you are not at home and really need to get your actual opened tabs on your home computer (via SSH). I am using it from my work if I forgot to bookmark some new interesting webpage, which I have visited at home. Also other way to list tabs when your firefox has crashed (restoring of tabs doesn't work always).

This script includes also tabs which has been closed short time before.

Colorized grep in less
