This is my first attempt at converting all HTML files to UTF-8 file encoding, including all subfolders.

Theres probably a much more compact way to do it, but I'm quite proud of it with my windows background ;)

Add the functions to the .bashrc to make it work

Example: First go to the iso file directory and type:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

user@box:~$ miso file.iso

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will put you into a temporary mounting point directory (ISO_CD) and will show the files

You can umount the iso file whatever the directory you are

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

user@box:~/ISO_CD$ uiso

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wil umount the iso file and remove the temporary directory in your home

I often need to send screenshots to other people to explain settings and whatever.

So I created this oneline which I use to create the screenshot with imagemagik, upload it via scp to my server and then the command opens an firefox tab with the screenshot.

The screenshot can be a region or a window.

You just have to replace the parts beginning with YOUR.

This runs a command continuously, restarting it if it exits. Sort of a poor man's daemontools. Useful for running servers from the command line instead of inittab.

This is fast and efficient because rm is only run once.

Using the redundant ./ directory information prevents the dash from occurring at the beginning of the filename, and being interpreted as an option of the rm command.

Also works using:

This command will erase all bytecode versions of Python modules under the current directory.

This command deletes all files in all subfolders if their name or path contains "deleteme".

To dry-run the command without actually deleting files run:

If you need to delete all redundant ".svn" directories from a given path and all its subdirectories, use this command !

Particulary useful if you want to upload to an ftp server, but don't use svn or if you need to update/backup some source code to another directory.

You can also try "svn export . /new/path/without/svn/dirs" (also from the CLI)

For a python project, sometimes I need to clean all the compiled python files. I have an alias 'rmpyc' to this command. This really saves me a lot of typing and hunting throughout the folders to delete those files.

This command will remove all .svn folder from your project if you need to manual remove the subversion files.

Copy data to the destination using commands such as cpio (recommended), tar, rsync, ufsdump, or ufsrestore.

Example:

Let the source directory be /source, and let the destination directory be /destination.

# cd /source

# cd ..

# find ./source -depth -print | cpio -cvo> /destination/source_data.cpio

# cd /destination

# cpio -icvmdI ./source_data.cpio

# rm -rf ./source_data.cpio

deletes logs not modified in over [#] days - modify to compress or move, as needed

This spiders the given site without downloading the HTML content. The resulting directory structure is then parsed to output a list of the URLs to url-list.txt. Note that this can take a long time to run and you make want to throttle the spidering so as to play nicely.
