Check These Out

Fix Ubuntu's Broken Sound Server
Ever since the switch to pulseaudio, Ubuntu users including myself have found themselves with no sound intermittently. To fix this, just use this command and restarts firefox or mplayer or whatever.

Monitor open connections for httpd including listen, count and sort it per IP
It's not my code, but I found it useful to know how many open connections per request I have on a machine to debug connections without opening another http connection for it. You can also decide to sort things out differently then the way it appears in here.

follow the content of all files in a directory
The `-q' arg forces tail to not output the name of the current file

Check if your webserver supports gzip compression with curl

Download Englishword pronounciation as mp3 file

Create a mirror of a local folder, on a remote server
Create a exact mirror of the local folder "/root/files", on remote server 'remote_server' using SSH command (listening on port 22) (all files & folders on destination server/folder will be deleted)

make, or run a script, everytime a file in a directory is modified

add the result of a command into vi
':r!ls -l' results in listing the files in the current directory and paste it into vi

command shell generate random strong password
shell generate random strong password

Empty a file
The downside of output redirection is that you need permissions. So something like $ > file won't play nicely w/ sudo. You'd need to do something like $ bash -c '> file' instead, you could go w/ $ sudo truncate -s0 file
