When you run a lot of containers the built in docker ps output becomes unreadable. This command formats the output to be easier on the eyes. Requires q (https://github.com/harelba/q) text as data. Show Sample Output

This is a specialized command for Ericsson CS5.2 - Getting the test case trace on SDP

This command allows to follow up a trace on SDP (CS5.2), at the same time as the trace records are stored in the file with "raw" format. Trace files in native format are useful to filter the records before to translation from '|' to '\n'. Example: grep -v OP_GET <raw-records>.trace | tr '|' '\n' Show Sample Output

tail -1f /var/opt/fds/logs/TraceEventLogFile.txt.0 | grep <msisdn> | tee <test-case-id>.trace | tr '|' '\n'

Numerically sorted human readable disk usage

This approach deals with special characters such as apostrophe and whitespace in the file/directory names. tr '\n' '\0' converts the newline delimiting into NUL delimitering which xargs -0 expects. It works on systems which do not yet support xargs -d or sort -h, and includes files in addition to directories. Show Sample Output

nmap scan hosts for IP, MAC Address and device Vendor/Manufacturer

In the field, I needed to script a process to scan a specific vendor devices in the network. With the help of nmap, I got all the devices of that particular vendor, and started a scripted netcat session to download configuration files from a tftp server. This is the nmap loop (part of the script). You can however, add another pipe with grep to filter the vendor/manufacturer devices only. If want to check the whole script, check in http://pastebin.com/ju7h4Xf4 Show Sample Output

Recursively remove directories less than specified size

Removes directories which are less than 1028KB total. This works for systems where blank directories are 4KB. If a directory contains 1 MB (1024KB) or less, it will remove the directory using a path relative to the directory where the command was initially executed (safer than some other options I found). Adjust the 1028 value for your needs. It would be helpful to test the results before proceeding with the removal. Simply run all but the last two commands to see a list of what will be removed: du | awk '{if($1<1028)print;}' | cut -d $'\t' -f 2- If you're unsure what size a blank folder is, test it like this: mkdir test; du test; rmdir test

remove accents from file name

I had trouble with accent I could do a simple mv by hand but it is not efficient. I found this online http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-and-scripting/158635-remove-spanish-accent-file-name.html but I could not specify the accented letter direcly because it is not in the same encoding as my cli so I changed the char for their octal value. to add accent I use this table http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl7_iso_8859-1.htm and add the values to the tr part. the other "duplicates" where not working for me. comment to help me better this script. :) Show Sample Output

yet another random password generator.

this one includes special characters. note some some chars may be disallowed on windows systems. *nix will allow pretty much any character in a password except a carriage return. you do not want non printing characters in your password, so this is limited to the printable chars displayed on a keyboard , less space and return. edited to fix minor typo Show Sample Output

Compress files found with find

tar options may change ;) c to compress into a tar file, z for gzip (j for bzip) man tar -print0 and -0t are usefull for names with spaces, \, etc.

Performance tip: compress /usr/

Periodically run the one-liner above if/when there are significant changes to the files in /usr/ = Before rebooting, add following to /etc/fstab : = $ /squashed/usr/usr.sfs /squashed/usr/ro squashfs loop,ro 0 0 $ usr /usr aufs udba=reval,br:/squashed/usr/rw:/squashed/usr/ro 0 0 No need to delete original /usr/ ! (unless you don't care about recovery). Also AuFS does not work with XFS

Replace spaces in a file with hyphens

find all active IP addresses in a network

There are several other options. This one is plain and simple. Another option is: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24

search ubuntu packages to find which package contains the executable program programname

search ubuntu's remote package source repositories for a specific program to see which package contains it

Use GNU info with a pager

This makes GNU info output menu items recursively and pipe its contents to less, allowing one to use GNU info in a manner similar to 'man'.
