Check These Out
This will calculate a running standard deviation in one pass and should never have the possibility for overflow that can happen with other implementations. I suppose there is a potential for underflow in the corner case where the deltas are small or the values themselves are small.
The (in)famous "FizzBuzz" programming challenge, answered in a single line of Bash code. The "|column" part at the end merely formats the output a bit, so if "column" is not installed on your machine you can simply omit that part. Without "|column", the solution only uses 75 characters.
The version below is expanded to multiple lines, with comments added.
for i in {1..100} # Use i to loop from "1" to "100", inclusive.
do ((i % 3)) && # If i is not divisible by 3...
x= || # ...blank out x (yes, "x= " does that). Otherwise,...
x=Fizz # ...set x to the string "Fizz".
((i % 5)) || # If i is not divisible by 5, skip (there's no "&&")...
x+=Buzz # ...Otherwise, append (not set) the string "Buzz" to x.
echo ${x:-$i} # Print x unless it is blanked out. Otherwise, print i.
done | column # Wrap output into columns (not part of the test).
Issues a scan command on the given scsi host adapter (ex. a fibre channel adapter, in the example above on host0). Output can be watched in the messages log or in "dmesg"
Allows you to establish a tunnel (encapsulate packets) to your (Server B) remote server IP from your local host (Server A).
On Server B you can then connect to port 2001 which will forward all packets (encapsulated) to port 22 on Server A.

5 helpful aliases for using the which utility, specifically for the GNU which (2.16 tested) that is included in coreutils.
Which is run first for a command. Same as type builtin minus verbosity
$ alias which='{ command alias; command declare -f; } | command which --read-functions --read-alias'
Which (a)lias
$ alias whicha='command alias | command which --read-alias'
Which (f)unction
$ alias whichf='command declare -f | command which --read-functions'
Which e(x)ecutable file in PATH
$ alias whichx='command which'
Which (all) alias, function, builtin, and files in PATH
$ alias whichall='{ command alias; command declare -f; } | command which --read-functions --read-alias -a'

This modifies the output of ls so that the file size has commas every three digits. It makes room for the commas by destructively eating any characters to the left of the size, which is probably okay since that's just the "group".
Note that I did not write this, I merely cleaned it up and shortened it with extended regular expressions. The original shell script, entitled "sl", came with this description:
: '
: For tired eyes (sigh), do an ls -lF plus whatever other flags you give
: but expand the file size with commas every 3 digits. Really helps me
: distinguish megabytes from hundreds of kbytes...

Of course, some may suggest that fancy new "human friendly" options, like "ls -Shrl", have made Corey's script obsolete. They are probably right. Yet, at times, still I find it handy. The new-fangled "human-readable" numbers can be annoying when I have to glance at the letter at the end to figure out what order of magnitude is even being talked about. (There's a big difference between 386M and 386P!). But with this nifty script, the number itself acts like a histogram, a quick visual indicator of "bigness" for tired eyes. :-)
