Copies an entire hierarchy of mailboxes from the named POP3/IMAP/etc. source to the named destination. Mailboxes are created on the destination as needed. NOTE: The 'mailutil' is Washington's University 'mailutil' (apt-get install uw-mailutils). More examples
$ mailutil transfer {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=you@gmail.com}INBOX Gmail/ ; mailutil check imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=you@gmail.com}\[Gmail\]/Spam
If you use the utility in the first, append -v|-d flag(s) to the end the commands above (man mailutil).
Extract a color palette from a image useful for designers.
Example usage:
$extract-palette myawesomeimage.jpg 4
Where the first argument is the image you want to extract a palette from. The second argument is the number of colors you want.
It may be the case where you want to change the search space. In that case, change the -resize argument to a bigger or smaller result. See the ImageMagick documentation for the -resize argument.
This is the SECOND command in a set for five that are needed for a Twitter stream feed.
This command creates variable "b", the so-called "base string" required for oauth in Twitter stream feed requests. (The 256 char limit prevents giving it a better name)
We use five environment variables created by a previous step: id, k1, once, ts and k3.
The five environment variables are created in a separate command, please see my other commands.
For more information on the signature base string, see dev.twitter.com/apps, click on any app (or create a new one) and then go to the "OAuth Tool" tab.
Displays a connection histogram of active tcp connections. Works even better under an alias. Thanks @Areis1 for sharing this one.
Brightness indicator to be used in scripts that adjust brightness [especially sys that doesn't support automatically]
I've been using linux for almost a decade and only recently discovered that most terminals like putty, xterm, xfree86, vt100, etc., support hundreds of shades of colors, backgrounds and text/terminal effects.
This simply prints out a ton of them, the output is pretty amazing.
If you use non-x terminals all the time like I do, it can really be helpful to know how to tweak colors and terminal capabilities. Like:
$ echo $'\33[H\33[2J'
This is the FOURTH in a set of five commands. Please see my other commands for the previous three steps.
This command builds the authorization header required by Twitter.
For this command to work, see my previous 3 commands (step1, step2 and step3) as they are required to build the environment variables used in this command.
For more information on the authorization header, go to dev.twitter.com/apps, click on any of your apps (or create a new one) and then click on the "OAuth Tool" tab.
