Einstein's razor: As simple as possible, but not simpler.
On the destination machine netcat listens on any port (1234 in the example) and sends anything it receives into a file or pipe. On the source machine a separate netcat takes input from a file or pipe and sends it over the network to the listener.
This is great between machines on a LAN where you don't care about authentication, encryption, or compression and I would recommend it for being simpler than anything else in this situation. Over the internet you should use something with better security.
Often you find some tty programs are messed up and confused about character encoding - 'man' is a common problem and sometimes displays weird characters for apostrophes, hyphens etc etc. Another class of programs that suffer from this are those that try to use the line drawing characters - eg RedHat's tty system admin functions such as system-config-firewall-tui system-config-network-tui etc.
Adding 'LC_ALL=C' fixes most of these problems (as long as you want English! Perhaps speakers of other languages can add a comment here).
For bonus points, I've added the '-c' option to the man command so that it ignores it's cache and re-computes the man page using the C locale.
requires "youtube-dl" -- sure you can do this with wget and some more obscurity but why waste your time when this great tool is available?
the guts consist of mplayer converting a video to a gif -- study this command and read the man page for more information
$ mplayer video.flv -ss 00:23 -endpos 6 -vo gif89a:fps=5:output=output.gif -vf scale=400:300 -nosound
generates a 6 second gif starting at 23 seconds of play time at 5 fps and a scale of 400x300
start time (-ss)/end time (-endpos) formats: 00:00:00.000
end time should be relative to start time, not absolute. i.e. -endpos 5 == seconds after 0:42 = 0:47 end point
play with fps and scale for lower gif sizes
the subshell is a solution for the -b flag on youtube-dl which downloads the best quality video, sometimes, which can be various video formats $(ls ${url##*=}*| tail -n1)
$dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
Date-time format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
Like the original version except it does not include the parent apache process or the grep process and adds "sudo" so it can be run by user.
Useful to recover a output(stdout and stderr) "disown"ed or "nohup"ep process of other instance of ssh.
With the others options the stdout / stderr is intercepted, but only the first n chars.
This way we can recover ALL text of stdout or stderr
