Check These Out
For the record: I didn't build this. Just shared what I found that worked. Apologies to the original author!
I decided I should fix the case where http://example.com is not matched for the next time I need this. So I read rfc1035 and formalized the host name regex.
If anyone finds any more holes, please comment.
Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.
Stuck behind a restrictive firewall at work, but really jonesing to putty home to your linux box for some colossal cave? Goodness knows I was...but the firewall at work blocked all outbound connections except for ports 80 and 443. (Those were wide open for outbound connections.) So now I putty over port 443 and have my linux box redirect it to port 22 (the SSH port) before it routes it internally. So, my specific command would be:
$iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 22
Note that I use -A to append this command to the end of the chain. You could replace that with -I to insert it at the beginning (or at a specific rulenum).
My linux box is running slackware, with a kernel from circa 2001. Hopefully the mechanics of iptables haven't changed since then. The command is untested under any other distros or less outdated kernels.
Of course, the command should be easy enough to adapt to whatever service on your linux box you're trying to reach by changing the numbers (and possibly changing tcp to udp, or whatever). Between putty and psftp, however, I'm good to go for hours of time-killing.
Converts any number of seconds into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
sec2dhms() {
declare -i SS="$1"
D=$(( SS / 86400 ))
H=$(( SS % 86400 / 3600 ))
M=$(( SS % 3600 / 60 ))
S=$(( SS % 60 ))
[ "$D" -gt 0 ] && echo -n "${D}:"
[ "$H" -gt 0 ] && printf "%02g:" "$H"
printf "%02g:%02g\n" "$M" "$S"
}
Shows a tree of the disks. Requires "tree"
In Bash, when defining an alias, one usually loses the completion related to the function used in that alias (that completion is usually defined in /etc/bash_completion using the complete builtin).
It's easy to reuse the work done for that completion in order to have smart completion for our alias.
That's what is done by this command line (that's only an example but it may be very easy to reuse).
Note 1 : You can use given command line in a loop "for old in apt-get apt-cache" if you want to define aliases like that for many commands.
Note 2 : You can put the output of the command directly in your .bashrc file (after the ". /etc/bash_completion") to always have the alias and its completion
Shorter and faster...
I often use it to find recently added ou removed device, or using find in /dev, or anything similar.
Just run the command, plug the device, and wait to see him and only him
