Tails a log and replaces it line-by-line according to whatever you want to replace. Useful if the file writing to the log can't be modified, so you need to modify its output instead. Show Sample Output

Colorify colors input by converting the text to a number and then performing modulo 7 on it. This resulting number is used as the color escape code. This can be used to color the results of commands with complex outputs (like "482279054165371") so if any of the digits change, there's a good chance the color will change too. I say good chance because there's only 7 unique colors here, so assuming you were watching random numbers, there would be a 6/7 chance that the color would change when the number changed. This should really only be used to help quickly identify when things change, but should not be the only thing relied upon to positively assert that an output has not changed. Show Sample Output

This version will work if "*screenflow" returns any results with weird characters, and will actually compress the tarballs.

I use screenflow to create and edit videos. The default storage for a single video is a folder. If I want to move that someplace, it's easier to zip up the folder and send it. If I'm making a series of short videos, I might have 10 folders. This will go through and make a single bz3 file for EACH folder.

Last listed files presumably have higher precedency then files listed first, i.e. configuration files in the personal .config directory will be listed last and their config parameters will be more authoritative then default config parameters defined in /etc directory which are usually listed above them. If you replace ".conf" with ".ini" in the command, initial files will be listed instead of config files. If you do not like to list multiple access to the same config file, pipe to "uniq" or "uniq -c" to prefix lines by the number of occurrences Show Sample Output

Replace $CMDLINE_FILENAME with the name of the cmdline file you copied from /proc/pid, and $COMMAND with the command to execute with those arguments.

First, use find to find directories exactly one level below current directory, then create a tar file using the directory as the basename.

For easy portability you can include you service account blobs directly to your rclone config. So it generate a rclone config like the following: [dst977] type = drive scope = drive service_account_credentials = {"type":"service_account","project_id":"saf-ju66hcgi8qf8zidhvfww4oxwe7","private[.................] } Show Sample Output

2d - is a shortcut for a period back in time Show Sample Output

After install https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/openmanage/ (Complete, all), install these packages or you will get segfaults on update and it will fail.

Useful for containers and environments where you need to know if a port is currently in listen mode but you have not easy way or privileges to install net-tools like netstat or ss. "0A" is the code for listen state. The IP hex is reverse order and all in hex format. Show Sample Output

Parse an m3u file with seconds for each item and output the length of the entire playlist Show Sample Output

For each *.jpg or *.JPG file in the current directory, extract the date the photo was taken from its EXIF metadata. Then replace the date stamp, which is assumed to exist in the filename, by the date the photo was taken. A trick from https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/9256 is used to split the date into its components. Show Sample Output

Generates a TV noise alike output in the terminal. Can be combined with https://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/9728/make-some-powerful-pink-noise

Check if port is open, if you don't have ncat on your machine. Show Sample Output

This is similar to standard `pv`, but it retains the rate history instead of only showing the current rate. This is useful for spotting changes. To do this, -f is used to force pv to output, and stderr is redirected to stdout so that `tr` can swap the carriage returns for new lines. (doesn't work correctly is in zsh for some reason. Tail's output isn't redirected to /dev/null like it is in bash. anyone know why? ???????) Show Sample Output

After typing the command below, you will be greeted with nothing. press the up arrow to find the previous command you typed, press enter. repeat this as many times as you need, then hit CTRL-Z and press enter to save to the 'batchfilename.bat' file.

Removes the annoying filehistory filename default of adding a really long UTC time and date string to every single file. Non recursive so you will have to run this per directory.

Useful for Roku which does not support 7.1. Useful resources: - https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Map - https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/HighQualityAudio - https://superuser.com/questions/852400/properly-downmix-5-1-to-stereo-using-ffmpeg

The “predictive capture” feature of Sony's Xperia camera app hides the date stamp deeply inside the filename. This command adds another date stamp at the beginning of the filename. Show Sample Output

Sony's Xperia camera app creates files without time-stamped names. Thus, after deleting files on the phone, the same names will be reused. When uploading the photos to a cloud storage, this means that files will be overwritten. Running this command after every sync of uploaded photos with the computer prevents this. Show Sample Output
