See external ip with w3m, simple and fast. On a web site from Chile (spanish).
-2w3m miip.cl | grep ip -
You don't want the -ar parameters in this case. The man page for BASH_BUILTINS(1) states: "-a option means to remove or mark all jobs" and "-r option without a jobspec argument restricts operation to running jobs" In this case we are supplying the process id of the job to disown so neither of these should be used.
-2echo "Starting Daemon"; ( while :; do sleep 15; echo "I am still running =]"; done ) & disown -h $! -
The first grep rejects capitalised words since the dict has proper nouns in it that you mightn't want to use. The second grep rejects words with ending in apostrophe s, and the third forces the words to be at least 15 characters long. Show Sample Output
-2cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep -P ^[a-z].* | grep -v "'s$" | grep -Pv ^.\{1,15\}$ | shuf -n4 | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/$/\n/' -

Replace "en1" with your network interface (on OS X, usually en0, en1, eth0, etc..) Show Sample Output

smbfs or cifs, depends on which you are using

Variant of find grep that ignores files with .svn in the name. Useful for searching through a local repository of source code.

Does that count as a win for bzip2? Show Sample Output

Prints the type of computer you have. I think this should be used more in distros and other applications because it is so easy to get. This can also be asked by tutorials as an easy way to get your base hardware. Some alternatives:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-nameandsudo smbios-sys-info-lite | sed -n 's/^Product Name: *\(.*\)/\1/p'Show Sample Output-2cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name -
-2/sbin/ifconfig|grep -B 1 inet |head -1 | awk '{print $5}'
-
I used this because I needed to sort the content of a bunch of gzipped log files. Replace sort with something else, or simply remove sort to just rezip everything
-2find . -name "*.gz" | xargs -n 1 -I {} bash -c "gunzip -c {} | sort | gzip -c --best > {}.new ; rm {} ; mv {}.new {}" -
Very useful for test a script. After launch this command, you only have to press ENTER for launch your script again. I work with screen and tape ENTER instead of '!!'+ENTER If you break your script with CTRL-C, it will wait for press ENTER and will re-launch You can write like it : while read -p "Press ENTER" ; do python ; done
-2while read ; do python <script> ; done -
-2cat /etc/shadow

-2netstat -nap|grep 80|grep LISTEN

This is what we use. You can grep -v 127.0.0.1 if you wish.
-2ifconfig | grep -o "inet [^ ]*" | cut -d: -f2 -
Should run anywhere that Bash works.. Your mileage may vary. Show Sample Output
-2alias functions='shopt -s extdebug;declare -F | grep -v "declare -f _" | declare -F $(awk "{print $3}") | column -t;shopt -u extdebug' -
List all files from the current directory and subdirectories, sorted by modification time, oldest first.

Adds the stdout (standard output) to the beginning of logfile.txt. Change "command" to whatever command you like, such as 'ls' or 'date', etc. It does this by adding the output to a temporary file, then adding the previous contents of logfile.txt to the temp file, then copying the new contents back to the logfile.txt and removing the temp file.
-2command > tmp && cat logfile.txt >> tmp && tmp > logfile.txt && rm tmp -
