I used this command to recursively gather all mp3 files that were previously imported into their own directories (sorted by band name) in Songbird.

-geometry (preserves values of height and width given, and aspect ratio). WARNING: While 'resize' creates resized copies of original files, 'mogrify' works on the original files, replacing them. It will overwrite the source files, use with caution, and backup regularly.

No need $_ netp ;)

This is similar to how you would generate a file with all zeros dd if=/dev/zero of=allzeros bs=1024 count=2k

This command prints all lines of a file together with is line number. Show Sample Output

Bulk downloads the comic strip JPG files for the adult cartoon Savitabhabhi, storing each set in it's own folder. Requires manual removal of "non-image" files that maybe created because each series may differ in length. The command can be easily adapted for UNIX flavours. You need to have cURL in your path.

An improvement of the original (at: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2872/update-twitter-via-curl) in the sense that you see a "from cURL" under your status message instead of just a "from API" ;-) Twitter automatically links it to the cURL home page. Show Sample Output

require mimms package

For vi(m) users : Add it in your ~/.bashrc Add an "exit" @ the end if you are masochist ;) Show Sample Output

Execute this in the root of your music library and this recurses through the directories and normalizes each folder containing mp3s as a batch. This assumes those folders hold an album each. The command "normalize-audio" may go by "normalize" on some systems.

@putnamhill, no need if statement in that case. && is a AND and || is a OR

Requires netcat.

Also works in places where reset does not.

will search trought pidgin conversation logs for "searchterm", and output them stripping the html tags. The "sed" command is optionnal if your logs are stored in plain text format.

// This is description for the old command: Unfortunately we to encode the URL. It can't be done with bash (without building it ourselves) so I used Perl? Example with Perl: curl -s http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=`perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=commandlinefu&aq=0&oq=commandline');"` Example without Perl: curl http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=http://www.google.com Most urls doesn't use & and ? anymore (SEO etc) so in most cases you can just use the simple version. :) Show Sample Output

This version uses host and no ruby.

Put into some file. No special purpouse, just for fun...
