What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

See system users

Find the 10 users that take up the most disk space

In OSX you would have to make sure that you "sudo -s" your way to happiness since it will give a few "Permission denied" errors before finally spitting out the results. In OSX the directory structure has to start with the "Users" Directory then it will recursively perform the operation. Your Lord and master, Mematron

Find the package that installed a command

Tree based ps view "painted" by ccze

Show what PID is listening on port 80 on Linux

Rename files in batch

Sysadmin day date of any given year

Calculate the date of Sysadmin day (last Friday of July) of any given year

Advanced python tracing

Trace python statement execution and syscalls invoked during that simultaneously

Find Duplicate Files (based on size first, then MD5 hash)

Finds duplicates based on MD5 sum. Compares only files with the same size. Performance improvements on: $find -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\n" | sort -rn | uniq -d | xargs -I{} -n1 find -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate The new version takes around 3 seconds where the old version took around 17 minutes. The bottle neck in the old command was the second find. It searches for the files with the specified file size. The new version keeps the file path and size from the beginning.
