Extract all archives from current folder, each archive in its own folder.

Magic line will extract almost all possible archives from current folder in its own folders. Don't forget to change USER name in sudo command. sed is used to create names for folders from archive names w/o extension. You can test sed expression, used in this command:

arg='war.lan.net' ; x=$(echo $arg|sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/') ; echo $x

If some archives can't be extracted, install packages:

apt-get install p7zip-full p7zip-rar

Hope this will save a lot of your time. Enjoy.

run last command with root

you will be sad after you run a command and find out it needs root, so you should run it again but with prefix sudo.

so this line is to make it simple. just 'sudo !!'

Remount all NFS mounts on a host

`mount -o remount` doesn't pick up new NFS options (eg. timeo, soft, retrans, etc) so you need to do a full mount/remount cycle. This one-liner makes it quick and easy :) Update your fstab with the new options, then run it.
