Check These Out

watch the previous command

If you just executed some long command, like "ps -aefww | grep -i [m]yProcess", and if you don't want to retype it or cycle backwards in history and waste time quoting it, then you can use history substitution.

Sync the existing directory structure to destination, without transferring any files

Save xkcd to a pdf with captions

Saves to a PDF with title and alt text of comic. As asked for on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91100 Change xkcd.com to dynamic.xkcd.com/comics/random for a random comic.

Google URL shortener

Use curl and sed to shorten an URL using goo.gl without any other api

grep tab (\t)

Stop or Start (Restart) a Windows service from a Linux machine

Control (stop, start, restart) a Windows Service from a Linux machine which has the `net` command (provided by samba).

git remove files which have been deleted

I've used technicalpickles command a lot, but this one handles whitespaces in filenames. I'm sure you want to create an alias for it :)

Cap apt-get download speed

apt-get is pretty aggressive when it downloads, potentially hogging the bandwidth of your network. The 25 is in KB, change this to your needs.

return external ip

Get your ip address, hostname, ASN and geolocation information. If you want just one field as a text response you can also get that,eg curl ipinfo.io/ip

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.
