If you wish to launch the kde4 screen saver without the password prompt to exit, use this command:
$ qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.SetActive True
Also can be done with:
$ /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kscreenlocker --forcelock
The option -an disables audio recording, -f forces the use of video4linux for the input, -s sets the video to the size 320x240, -b sets the recording bitrate, -r sets the frame rate to 15fps, -i gives the input device, -vcodec sets the output format.
Press Q to stop recording or you can specify the recording time with the -t option like -t 00:1:30
works with fractions like 1/3.5
You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token.
This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use:
`awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'`
You must adapt the command line to include:
* $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one
* TTL for the credentials

When some console full-screen program (minicom, vi, some installers) breaks down your terminal, try this command to revert all options to "sane" settings (sane is a built-in combo of a lot of stty options)
How often do you make a directory (or series of directories) and then change into it to do whatever? 99% of the time that is what I do.
This BASH function 'md' will make the directory path then immediately change to the new directory. By using the 'mkdir -p' switch, the intermediate directories are created as well if they do not exist.
Create a persistent SSH connection to the host in the background. Combine this with settings in your ~/.ssh/config:
Host host
ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster no
All the SSH connections to the machine will then go through the persisten SSH socket. This is very useful if you are using SSH to synchronize files (using rsync/sftp/cvs/svn) on a regular basis because it won't create a new socket each time to open an ssh connection.

I've tried all of the screen recorders available for Linux and this is easily the best. xvidcap segfaults; VNC is too much hassle. There are alternatives of this command already here that I am just too lazy to reply to. Messing with the frames per second option, -r, 25 seems to be the best. Any lower and the video will look like a flipbook, if it records at all - -r 10 won't - any faster is the same, oddly enough.
Edit: CLF doesn't like my long command to add audio, so here it is in the description.
$ goaddaudio()
${
$if [ $# != 3 ]; then
$ echo 'goaddaudio < audio > < src video > < dst video >'
$ return
$ fi
$
$ f=goaddaudio$RANDOM
$ ffmpeg -i "$2" &> $f
$ d=$( grep Duration $f | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d ',' ) &&
$ rm $f &&
$ ffmpeg -i "$1" -i "$2" -r 25 -ab 192k -ar 44100 -sameq -t $d "$3"
$}
