making it "sound" more "natural" language like -- additionally sorting the longest words alphabetically: this approach is using: * to get at all lines of input * post-"for" structure * short-circuit-or in sort: if the lengths are the same, then sort alphabetically otherwise don't even evaluate the right hand side of the or * -C sets all input and ouput channels to utf8
3perl -C -e 'print for sort { length $a <=> length $b or $a cmp $b } <>' < /usr/share/dict/words | tail -

Short list about top 10 processes, sorted by CPU usage Show Sample Output

Excludes other mountpoints with acavagni's "mountpoint" idea, but with -exec instead of piping to an xargs subshell. Then, calling "du" only once with -exec's "+" option. The first "\! -exec" acts as a test so only those who match are passed to the second "-exec" for du. Show Sample Output
3find / -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d \! -empty \! -exec mountpoint -q {} \; -exec du -xsh {} + | sort -h -
This command could seem pretty pointless especially when you can get the same result more easily using the rpm builtin queryformat, like:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" | sort | column -tbut nonetheless I've learned that sometimes it can be quite interesting trying to explore alternative ways to accomplish the same task (as Perl folks like to say: There's more than one way to do it!) Show Sample Output3rpm -qa | sed 's/^\(.*\)-\([^-]\{1,\}\)-\([^-]\{1,\}\)$/\1 \2 \3/' | sort | column -t -
It displays the top 10 processes sorted by memory usage Show Sample Output
3ps aux | sort -rk 4,4 | head -n 10 -
Ever use 'locate' to find a common phrase in a filename or directory name? Often you'll get a huge list of matches, many of which are redundant, and typically the results are not sorted. This command will 'locate' your search phrase, then show you a sorted list of just the relevant directories, with no duplications. So, for example, maybe you have installed several versions of the java jre and you want to track down every directory where files matching "java" might exist. Well, a 'locate java' is likely to return a huge list with many repeated directories since many files in one directory could contain the phrase "java". This command will whittle down the results to a minimal list of unique directory names where your search phrase finds a match.
2for i in $(locate your_search_phrase); do dirname $i; done | sort | uniq -
2sudo lsof | awk '{printf("%s %s %s\n", $1, $3, $NF)}' | grep -v "(" | sort -k 4 | gawk '$NF==prv{ct++;next} {printf("%d %s\n",ct,$0);ct=1;prv=$NF}' | uniq | sort -nr
