Count lines of code across multiple file types, sorted by least amount of code to greatest

The same as the other two alternatives, but now less forking! Instead of using '\;' to mark the end of an -exec command in GNU find, you can simply use '+' and it'll run the command only once with all the files as arguments.

This has two benefits over the xargs version: it's easier to read and spaces in the filesnames work automatically (no -print0). [Oh, and there's one less fork, if you care about such things. But, then again, one is equal to zero for sufficiently large values of zero.]

List of commands you use most often

If you use HISTTIMEFORMAT environment e.g. timestamping typed commands, $(echo "1 2 $HISTTIMEFORMAT" | wc -w)

gives the number of columns that containing non-command parts per lines.

It should universify this command.

Count lines of code across multiple file types, sorted by least amount of code to greatest

find -exec is evil since it launches a process for each file. You get the total as a bonus.

Also, without -n sort will sort by lexical order (that is 9 after 10).

Choose from a nice graphical menu which DI.FM radio station to play

This is a very simple and lightweight way to play DI.FM stations

For a more complete version of the command with proper strings in the menu, try: (couldnt fit in the command field above)

zenity --list --width 500 --height 500 --title 'DI.FM' --text 'Pick a Radio' --column 'radio' --column 'url' --print-column 2 $(curl -s http://www.di.fm/ | awk -F '"' '/href="http:.*\.pls.*96k/ {print $2}' | sort | awk -F '/|\.' '{print $(NF-1) " " $0}') | xargs mplayer

This command line parses the html returned from http://di.fm and display all radio stations in a nice graphical menu. After the radio is chosen, the url is passed to mplayer so the music can start

dependencies:

- x11 with gtk environment

- zenity: simple app for displaying gtk menus (sudo apt-get install zenity on ubuntu)

- mplayer: simple audio player (sudo apt-get install mplayer on ubuntu)

Get a count of how many file types a project has

I created this command to give me a quick overview of how many file types a directory, and all its subdirectories, contains. It works based off file extension, rather than file(1)'s magic output, because it ended up being more accurate and less confusing.

Files that don't have an ext (README) are generally not important for me to want to count, but you're free to customize this fit your needs.

Display error pages in report format

This command will return a full list of Error 404 pages in the given access log. The following variables have been given to awk

Hostname ($2), ERROR Code ($9), Missing Item ($7), Referrer ($11)

most used commands in history (comprehensive)

Most of the "most used commands" approaches does not consider pipes and other complexities.

This approach considers pipes, process substitution by backticks or $() and multiple commands separated by ;

Perl regular expression breaks up each line using | or < ( or ; or ` or $( and picks the first word (excluding "do" in case of for loops)

note: if you are using lots of perl one-liners, the perl commands will be counted as well in this approach, since semicolon is used as a separator

easily find megabyte eating files or directories

Thanks for the submit! My alternative produces summaries only for directories. The original post additionally lists all files in the current directory. Sometimes the files, they just clutter up the output. Once the big directory is located, *then* worry about which file(s) are consuming so much space.

Updated top ten memory utilizing processes (child/instance aggregation) now with percentages of total RAM

Prints the top 10 memory consuming processes (with children and instances aggregated) sorted by total RSS and calculates the percentage of total RAM each uses. Please note that since RSS can include shared libraries it is possible for the percentages to add up to more that the total amount of RAM, but this still gives you a pretty good idea. Also note that this does not work with the mawk version of awk, but it works fine with GNU Awk which is on most Linux systems. It also does not work on OS X.
