Check These Out
Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.
Next time you are using your shell, try typing
$ ctrl-x ctrl-e # in emacs mode
or
$ v # in vi mode
The shell will take what you've written on the command line thus far and paste it into the editor specified by $EDITOR. Then you can edit at leisure using all the powerful macros and commands of vi, emacs, nano, or whatever.
Probably will not work very well with scanned documents.
Copy this function to command line, press 'Enter' 'f'' 'Enter' to execute (sentence on the left written only for newbies). Hint 'e|x|v|1..9' in front of displayed last modified file name means: "Press 'e' for edit,'x' for execute,'v' for view or a digit-key '1..9' to touch one file from the recent files list to be last modified" and suggested (hidden files are listed too, else remove 'a' from 'ls -tarp' statement if not intended).
If you find this function useful you can then rename it if needed and append or include into your ~/.bashrc config script. With the command
$ . ~/.bashrc
the function then can be made immediately available.
In the body of the function modifications can be made, i.e. replaced joe editor command or added new option into case statement, for example 'o) exo-open $h;;' command for opening file with default application - or something else (here could not be added since the function would exceed 255 chars).
To cancel execution of function started is no need to press Ctrl-C - if the mind changed and want to leave simple Enter-press is enough. Once defined, this function can with
$ typeset -f f
command be displayed in easy readable form
This will download all files of the type specified after "-A" from a website. Here is a breakdown of the options:
-r turns on recursion and downloads all links on page
-l1 goes only one level of links into the page(this is really important when using -r)
-H spans domains meaning it will download links to sites that don't have the same domain
-nd means put all the downloads in the current directory instead of making all the directories in the path
-A mp3 filters to only download links that are mp3s(this can be a comma separated list of different file formats to search for multiple types)
-e robots=off just means to ignore the robots.txt file which stops programs like wget from crashing the site... sorry http://example/url lol..
the -x option is for binding to a shell command
Listens for events in the directory. Each created file is displayed on stdout. Then each fileline is read by the loop and a command is run.
