Check These Out

Which processes are listening on a specific port (e.g. port 80)
swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"

Creates one letter folders in the current directory and moves files with corresponding initial in the folder.

Docker.io Stop and Remove all processes

Enable color pattern match highlighting in grep(1)
This will affect all invocations of grep, even when it is called from inside a script.

Write comments to your history.
A null operation with the name 'comment', allowing comments to be written to HISTFILE. Prepending '#' to a command will *not* write the command to the history file, although it will be available for the current session, thus '#' is not useful for keeping track of comments past the current session.
