Commands using wget

same but redirecting to player and putting whaever text line.. works on my ubuntu machine ...

The echo at the end is for pretty printing as the output is just the IP address without any html

This is just a "cut" addicted variant of the previous unixmonkey24730 command...

No need to install additional packages

eg:

say hello

For multiword

say how+are+you

-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.

This uses wget instead of curl

?mirror : turn on options suitable for mirroring.

-p : download all files that are necessary to properly display a given HTML page.

?convert-links : after the download, convert the links in document for local viewing.

-P ./LOCAL-DIR : save all the files and directories to the specified directory.

I wanted to play a song from the shell and get the shell back, I also dont want to store the file if it is not needed.

edit, not sure if I need to mention it... killall vlc to stop it

- Where $URL is the URL of the file.

- Replace the $2 by $3 at the end to get a human-readable size.

Edit: Replaced command with better version by FRUiT. (removed unnecessary grep)

This wgets the iso directly to the USB device, replace /dev/sdb with the device name of the USB stick. After wget finishes you will be able to boot the .iso file from the USB stick.

See man wget if you want linked files and not only those hosted on the website.

This example command fetches 'example.com' webpage and then fetches+saves all PDF files listed (linked to) on that webpage.

[*Note: of course there are no PDFs on example.com. This is just an example]

This one-liner greps first 30 direct URLs for .torrent files matching your search querry, ordered by number of seeds (descending; determined by the second number after your querry, in this case 7; for other options just check the site via your favorite web-browser).

You don't have to care about grepping the torrent names as well, because they are already included in the .torrent URL (except for spaces and some other characters replaced by underscores, but still human-readable).

Be sure to have some http://isup.me/ macro handy (someone often kicks the ethernet cables out of their servers ;) ).

I've also coded a more user-friendly ash (should be BASH compatible) script, which also lists the total size of download and number of seeds/peers (available at http://saironiq.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-shell-scripts-4-thepiratebayorg.html - may need some tweaking, as it was written for a router running OpenWrt and transmission).

Happy downloading!

put your link [url] to check if exist the remote file

This will visit recursively all linked urls starting from the specified URL. It won't save anything locally and it will produce a detailed log.

Useful to find broken links in your site. It ignores robots.txt, so just use it on a site you own!

On a machine behind a firewall, it's possible to pass the proxy server address in as a prefix to wget to avoid having to set it as an environment variable first.

Check if a site is down with downforeveryoneorjustme.com

this does the actual google dictionary query, returns a JSON string encapsulated in some fancy tag

here we remove the tag beginning

and here the tag end

There are also some special characters which could cause problems with some JSON parsers, so if you get some errors, this is probably the case (sed is your friend).

I laso like to trim the "webDefinitions" part, because it (sometimes) contains misleading information.

(but remember to append a "}" at the end, because the JSON string will be invalid)

The output also contains links to mp3 files with pronounciation.

As of now, this is only usable in the English language. If you choose other than English, you will only get webDefinitions (which are crap).

EDIT: command updated to support accented characters!

Works in any of 58 google supported languages (some sound like crap, english is the best IMO).

You get a mp3 file containing your query in spoken language. There is a limit of 100 characters for the "q" parameter, so be careful. The "tl" parameter contains target language.

The FLAC audio must be encoded at 16000Hz sampling rate (SoX is your friend).

Outputs a short JSON string, the actual speech is in the hypotheses->utterance, the accuracy is stored in hypotheses->confidence (ranging from 0 to 1).

Google also accepts audio in some special speex format (audio/x-speex-with-header-byte), which is much smaller in comparison with losless FLAC, but I haven't been able to encode such a sample.

substitute "example" with desired string;

tl = target language (en, fr, de, hu, ...);

you can leave sl parameter as-is (autodetection works fine)
