count occurences of each word in novel David Copperfield

This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line. Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination. This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version. Show Sample Output

скачать сайт

-r ? указывает на то, что нужно рекурсивно переходить по ссылкам на сайте, чтобы скачивать страницы. -k ? используется для того, чтобы wget преобразовал все ссылки в скаченных файлах таким образом, чтобы по ним можно было переходить на локальном компьютере (в автономном режиме). -p ? указывает на то, что нужно загрузить все файлы, которые требуются для отображения страниц (изображения, css и т.д.). -l ? определяет максимальную глубину вложенности страниц, которые wget должен скачать (по умолчанию значение равно 5, в примере мы установили 7). В большинстве случаев сайты имеют страницы с большой степенью вложенности и wget может просто ?закопаться?, скачивая новые страницы. Чтобы этого не произошло можно использовать параметр -l. -E ? добавлять к загруженным файлам расширение .html. -nc ? при использовании данного параметра существующие файлы не будут перезаписаны. Это удобно, когда нужно продолжить загрузку сайта, прерванную в предыдущий раз.

List files in directory tree with newest last

Create full backups of individual folders using find and tar-gzip

Problem: I wanted to backup user data individually. In this example, all user data is located in "/mnt/storage/profiles", and about 25 folders inside, each with a username ( /mnt/storage/profiles/mike; /mnt/storage/profiles/lucy ...) I need each individual folder backed up, not the whole "/mnt/storage/profiles". So, using find while excluding directories depth and creating two variables (tarfile=username & desdir=destination), tar will create a .tgz file for each folder, resulting in a "mike_full.tgz" and "lucy_full.tgz".

convert single digit to double digits

works only in zsh, requires autoload zmv

Change display resolution

-s must be a valid resolution. You can get a list of valid (and supported) resolutions via `xrandr`.

Convert seconds to [DD:][HH:]MM:SS

Converts any number of seconds into days, hours, minutes and seconds. sec2dhms() { declare -i SS="$1" D=$(( SS / 86400 )) H=$(( SS % 86400 / 3600 )) M=$(( SS % 3600 / 60 )) S=$(( SS % 60 )) [ "$D" -gt 0 ] && echo -n "${D}:" [ "$H" -gt 0 ] && printf "%02g:" "$H" printf "%02g:%02g\n" "$M" "$S" }

climagic's New Year's Countdown clock

This is the 140 character long new year's countdown timer that was posted to the climagic account on twitter and identi.ca. There are saner ways of doing this of course, but probably none of those would fit. Uses the figlet command, but of course you can replace figlet with just echo if you want.

Set RGB gamma of secondary monitor

This command first determines whether a second screen is connected. If this is the case, it sets the screen's RGB gamma via xrandr. Useful for cheap or slightly defective monitors with a tint. In this example a yellowing/champagne color deviation is compensated for by decreasing the red and the green portion of the image.

kill ip connection

needed; apt-get install tcpkill

Run a command as root, with a delay

$ sleep 1h ; sudo command or $ sudo sleep 1h ; sudo command won't work, because by the time the delay is up, sudo will want your password again.
