Automatically update all the installed python packages

There are two different ways that I would have done this. With the command posted or if you prefer xargs: pip freeze --local | awk -F "=" '{$1}' | xargs pip install -U # But this is a moot point considering the above replaces xargs
This is sample output - yours may be different.

Check These Out

encode HTML entities

Encodes HTML entities from input (file or stdin) so it's possible to directly past the result to a blog or HTML source file.

Find broken symlinks and delete them

If you don't want to delete them, but just want to list them, do $ find -L /path -type l If you want to delete them with confirmation first, do $ find -L /path -type l -exec rm -i {} + Using the -L flag follows symlinks, so the -type l test only returns true if the link can't be followed, or is a symlink to another broken symlink.

Check reverse DNS

The +short option should make dig less chatty.

Convert CSV to JSON

Replace 'csv_file.csv' with your filename.

Use acpi and notify-send to report current temperature every five minutes.

Use acpi and notify-send to report current temperature every five minutes. Works best in a shell script run at startup. acpi is called for temperature and fed to notify-send for a tooltip. After waiting five minutes, it will start over.

Want to known what time is it in another part of the world ?

available timezone can be found in /usr/share/zoneinfo. Other examples: $ TZ=Europe/Paris date; TZ=Australia/Sydney date; TZ=America/New_York date this is based on zoneinfo files on macosx. Your mileage my vary on other unix dialects

Get AWS temporary credentials ready to export based on a MFA virtual appliance

You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token. This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use: `awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'` You must adapt the command line to include: * $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one * TTL for the credentials
