Check These Out
This takes the stream created by apache requests containing jsp and funnels them to another server. I'm using this for simulating real time traffic. The nice command gives ssh maximum CPU cycles, awk & grep strip out everything served by apache. Putting parallel on curl is important because curl is synchronous and waits for the response. Yes, I thought about using wget but it didn't seem any easier. Also, if you figure out how to run this in the background let me know. Every time I background it it stops. If you have multiple front end servers just run multiple instances of this.
This command takes a set of images (from a render, for example), and converts them into a format conforming to the Blu-ray spec, or at least the version on the Wikipedia page.
Run as root. Path may vary depending on laptop model and video card (this was tested on an Acer laptop with ATI HD3200 video).
$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness

Goes through all files in the directory specified, uses `stat` to print out last modification time, then sorts numerically in reverse, then uses cut to remove the modified epoch timestamp and finally head to only output the last 10 modified files.
Note that on a Mac `stat` won't work like this, you'll need to use either:
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -f '%m%t%Sm %12z %N' | sort -nr | cut -f2- | head
or alternatively do a `brew install coreutils` and then replace `stat` with `gstat` in the original command.
The simplest way I know.
Give files a random name (don't ask why :-)
The function will rename files but maintain their extensions.
BUG: If a file doesn't have an extension it will end up with a dot at the end of the name.
The parameter '8' for pwgen controls the length of filenames - eight random characters.
The above url contains over 6700 of the common ad websites. The command just pastes these into your /etc/hosts.
This tool configures system services in connection with system runlevels. It turns on/off services using the scripts in /etc/init.d/.
Rcconf works with System-V style runlevel configuration.
It is a TUI(Text User Interface) frontend to the update-rc.d command.
This command will first add an alias known only to git, which will allow you to pull a remote and first-forward the current branch. However, if the remote/branch and your branch have diverged, it will stop before actually trying to merge the two, so you can back out the changes.

Tested on git 1.5.6.1, msysgit (Windows port)
Actually this is not really the way I want it. I want it to attempt a fast-foward, but not attempt to merge or change my working copy. Unfortunately git pull doesn't have that functionality (yet?).
