Just a little simplification.

Gets the authors, sorts by number of commits (as a vague way of estimating how much of the project is their work, i.e. the higher in the list, the more they've done) and then outputs the results.

Use this BASH trick to create a variable containing the TAB character and pass it as the argument to sort, join, cut and other commands which don't understand the \t notation.

Displays a connection histogram of active tcp connections. Works even better under an alias. Thanks @Areis1 for sharing this one.

Shows a list of users that currently running processes are executing as.

YMMV regarding ps and it's many variants. For example, you might need:

Most systems (at least my macbook) have system users defined, such as _www and using "users" for example will not list them. This command allows you to see who the 'virtual' users are on your system.

We normally get tasks in which one has to sort a data file according to some column. For a single file say foo, we would use

sort -k 3 foo >tmp && tmp foo

The for loop is useful when we have to do it on a number of files.

The output is only partial because runtime dependencies should count in also commands executed via system() and libraries loaded with dlopen(), but at least it gives an idea of what a package directly links to.

Note: this is meaningful *only* if you're using -Wl,--as-needed in your LDFLAGS, otherwise it'll bring you a bunch of false positives.

using

("sort -S1G" - Linux/GNU sort only) will also do the job but as some drawbacks (caused by space/time complexity of sorting) for bigger files...

Find the source file which contains most number of lines in your workspace

:)

This alternative cleans HISTTIMEFORMAT environment variable and calls gnuplot just after /tmp/cmds is closed, to avoid some errors.

Plot your most used commands with gnuplot.

Finds all files below the current directory.

Orders the result from smallest to largest.

Good for finding the largest files in the tree.

find OGG audio files on your *nix box and listen to them using your web browser

print members both in file1 and file2

Here's a version that doesn't use find.

with grep for em:name rather than name, you will get much better result.

count the times a domain appears on a file which lines are URLs in the form http://domain/resource.

Extracts ip addressess from file using sed. Uses a tag(ip) to grep the IP lines after extracting. Must be a way to just output regex matched on sed.

This provides a way to sort output based on the length of the line, so that shorter lines appear before longer lines. It's an addon to the sort that I've wanted for years, sometimes it's very useful. Taken from my http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html
