Check These Out

Selecting a random file/folder of a folder
Also looks in subfolders

Detach a process from the current shell
ignore HUP interruptions

Copy sparse files
This causes cp to detect and omit large blocks of nulls. Sparse files are useful for implying a lot of disk space without actually having to write it all out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file You can use it in a pipe too: $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=5 |cp --sparse=always /dev/stdin SPARSE_FILE

Look for IPv4 address in files.
It finds a SNMP OID too :-(

Install pip with Proxy
Installs pip packages defining a proxy

Find usb device
I often use it to find recently added ou removed device, or using find in /dev, or anything similar. Just run the command, plug the device, and wait to see him and only him

Changing the terminal title to the last shell command
Found the same command for zsh in http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/xterm-titles-with-bash.html - changed it a bit so that the behaviour is the same

Find usb device in realtime
Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

analyze traffic remotely over ssh w/ wireshark
When using tcpdump, specify -U option to prevent buffering.

iso-8859-1 to utf-8 safe recursive rename
This command is a powerful "detoxifier" that eliminates special chars, spaces and all those little chars we don't like. It support several "sequences" so be sure to check your /usr/local/etc/detoxrc while at it... and maybe define your own
