'jot' does not come with most *nix distros, so we need to use seq to make it work. This version tested good on Fedora 11.

This is an extension of a previous command by satyavvd on 2009-07-23 12:04:02, but this one grabs the whole archive. Hard coded numbers in previous script capped number of commands that could be fetched. This one grabs them all regardless of how big the archive gets.

Alter "AddHandler php5-cgi .php" and "AddHandler php4-cgi .php" entries to new "AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php" respective php4 entries in all .htaccess files under /var/www

Only shows files with actual changes to text (excluding whitespace). Useful if you've messed up permissions or transferred in files from windows or something like that, so that you can get a list of changed files, and clean up the rest.

When you have one of those (log)files that only has epoch for time (since no one will ever look at them as a date) this is a way to get the human readable date/time and do further inspection.

Mostly perl-fu :-/

More of the same but with more elaborate perl-fu :-)

Replace 'this' with 'that'

works on Linux and Solaris. I think it will work on nearly all *nix-es

This should work anywhere perl and grep is available. :P

substitute the URL with your private/public XML url from calendar sharing settings

substitute the dates YYYY-mm-dd

adjust the perl parsing part for your needs

Fetches the IPs and ONLY the IPs from ifconfig. Simplest, shortest, cleanest.

Perl is too good to be true...

(P.S.: credit should go to Peteris Krumins at catonmat.net)

Found this useful for scripts where I needed to work with the machine's IP. If $DEVICE is not specified, this will return all IPs on the machine. If $DEVICE is set to a network adapter, it will return just that adapter's IP.

Lists virtualhosts currently enabled for apache2, showing the ServerName:port, conf file and DocumentRoot

This command will output 1 if the given argument is a valid ip address and 0 if it is not.

Mouse around the title of this item, and note that your cookies are being logged to the console. If I were evil, I could instead send everyone's cookies to my site, and then post up-votes on all my submissions using their cookies, and try to delete every other submission, until clfu was completely pwned by me, redirecting people to malware and porn sites, and so on.

Update - now fixed.

There's probably a more efficient way to do this rather than the relatively long perl program, but perl is my hammer, so text processing looks like a nail.

This is of course a lot to type all at once. You can make it better by putting this somewhere:

Then, to look up any command, you can do this:

This is similar to http://www.colivre.coop.br/Aurium/CLFUSearch except that it's just one line, so more in the spirit of CLF, in my opinion.

OK, not the most useful but a good way to impress friends. Requires the "display" command from ImageMagick.

Using perl, here, we grep the man page of fetchmail to find the paragraph starting with '-k | --keep' and ending before the paragraph starting with '-K | --nokeep'
