This command will generate "CHECK TABLE `db_name.table_name` ;" statements for all tables present in databases on a MySQL server, which can be piped into the mysql command. (Can also be altered to perform OPTIMIZE and REPAIR functions.) Tested on MySQL 4.x and 5.x systems in a Linux environment under bash. Show Sample Output
-1DD=`cat /etc/my.cnf | sed "s/#.*//g;" | grep datadir | tr '=' ' ' | gawk '{print $2;}'` && ( cd $DD ; find . -mindepth 2 | grep -v db\.opt | sed 's/\.\///g; s/\....$//g; s/\//./;' | sort | uniq | tr '/' '.' | gawk '{print "CHECK TABLE","`"$1"`",";";}' ) -

needs no GNU tools, as far as I see it
-1find . -exec grep foobar /dev/null {} \; | awk -F: '{print $1}' | xargs vi -
Make sure that find does not touch anything other than regular files, and handles non-standard characters in filenames while passing to xargs.
-1find . -type f -exec grep -qi 'foo' {} \; -print0 | xargs -0 vim -
Can be used to discover what programms create internet traffic. Skip the part after awk to get more details. Has anyone an idea why the uniq doesn't work propperly here (see sample output)? Show Sample Output
-1netstat -lantp | grep -i establ | awk -F/ '{print $2}' | uniq | sort -
From Hong Kong Observatory wap site ;) Show Sample Output

I have a custmer's Geovision DVR installed on a closed proxi (only logme-in reaches it). I have to check for reliability but logmein hangs and is too slow a process I made the Geovision software send e-mail every minute to the www.spam.la site. All this script does is to retrieve the e-mail header from spam.la ( no login!), filtering sender, stopping at the first occurrence of the word "secs" ( the age of the last e-mail ). The result is the age of the sender's last e-mail, tiny published on top of my screen once a minute. I can refresh www.spam.la via web browser, but have other things to do. I use it inside Kalarm ( kde task schedule ) set to 1 minute repeat. It can be done without kalarm, using Watch outside the script. Try it out now using my account = geo1 ( change sender by geo1 in this script) Needs curl , osd-bin
-1curl http://www.spam.la/?f=sender | grep secs| awk '{print; exit}' | osd_cat -i 40 -d 30 -l 2 -
This is a bit of a hack, but it will get your fwguid which is needed sometimes when using your iPod. Show Sample Output
-1lsusb -v | grep -o "[0-9A-Z]{16}" -
-1ls | grep -vi pattern
-
Same thing just a different way to get there. You will need lynx
-1lynx --dump --source http://www.xkcd.com | grep `lynx --dump http://www.xkcd.com | egrep '(png|jpg)'` | grep title | cut -d = -f2,3 | cut -d '"' -f2,4 | sed -e 's/"/|/g' | awk -F"|" ' { system("display " $1);system("echo "$2); } ' -
same thing as the other
-1ipcalc $(ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr:" | cut -d':' -f2,4 | sed 's/.+Bcast:/\//g') | awk '/Network/ { print $2 } ' -
-1grep -n . datafile ;
-
-1locale | grep LANG=
-
The command will help to print the location of the pattern. Above command will print all the files which contain variable "$foo" along with line containing that pattern. Specify pattern after "grep"
-1find . -exec grep $foo {} \; -print -
Whenever you compile a new kernel, there are always new modules. The best way to make sure you have the correct modules loaded when you boot is to add all your modules in the modules.autoload file (they will be commented) and uncomment all those modules you need. Also a good way to keep track of the available modules in your system. For other distros you may have to change the name of the file to /etc/modprobe.conf Show Sample Output
-1find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' |grep -i -o '[a-z0-9]*[-|_]*[0-9a-z]*\.ko$' |xargs -I {} echo '# {}' >>/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 -
This is very similar to the first example except that it employs the 'exec' argument of the find command rather than piping the result to xargs. The second example is nice and tidy but different *NIXs may not have as capable a grep command.
-1find . -name "*.php" -exec grep -il searchphrase {} \; -
Use find to recursively make a list of all files from the current directory and downwards. The files have to have an extension of the ones listed. Then for every file found, grep it for 'searchString', returns the filename if searchString is found. Show Sample Output
-1find . -type f \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.php" -o -name "*.inc" -o -name "*.html" -o -name "*.htm" -o -name "*.css" \) -exec grep -il 'searchString' {} \; - ‹ First < 61 62 63 64 65 > Last ›
