Watch the progress of 'dd'

Only slightly different than previous commands. The benefit is that your "watch" should die when the dd command has completed. (Of course this would depend on /proc being available)

monitor your CPU core temperatures in real time

Watch the temperatures of your CPU cores in real time at the command line. Press CONTROL+C to end.

GORY DETAILS: Your computer needs to support sensors (many laptops, for example, do not). You'll need to install the lm-sensors package if it isn't already installed. And it helps to run the `sensors-detect` command to set up your sensor kernel modules first. At the very end of the sensors-detect interactive shell prompt, answer YES to add the new lines to the list of kernel modules loaded at boot.

Just replace 15m with desired time. no suffix or 's' for seconds; 'h' for hours

You need to be root or in audio group to write to /dev/dsp.

You may use yes | head -n 2000 for about 1 second beep.

Wrote this as echo -e '\a' not always works as desired (ex. visual bell)

Just a simple way without the need of additional tools. Of course, replace eth0 with your IF.

do something else while waiting for an event, such as reboot

until (ssh root@10.1.1.39 2> /dev/null); do date; sleep 15; done

In this case will execute "date" then "sleep 15" until we are able to ssh into server, such as after a reboot

Could also be like:

until ( ping 10.1.1.39 1> /dev/null); do echo "server 10.1.1.39 is down"; sleep 15; done

Countdown clock - Counts down from $MIN minutes to zero.

I let the date command do the maths.

This version doesn't use seq.

MIN=10 && for i in $(seq $(($MIN*60)) -1 1); do printf "\r%02d:%02d:%02d" $((i/3600)) $(( (i/60)%60)) $((i%60)); sleep 1; done

A nice way to use the console in full screen without forget the current time.

you can too add other infos like cpu and mem use.
