Return IP Address

If you are interested in interfaces other than eth0 you will need to change eth0 to your interface name. You could use this mammoth to nab the ip4 addresses of all your interfaces perl -e '@_=`ifconfig -a`; sort(@_); foreach(@_) { /(inet addr\:)(\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+ )/; $_=$2; @uniq=grep($_ ne $prev && (($prev) = $_), @_);} print join "\n",@uniq,"\n"; ' it seems silly to have all this code when the following will work fine ifconfig -a | grep "inet " | awk -F":" ' { print $2 } ' | cut -d " " -f1 Show Sample Output

Show bandwidth use oneliner

poorman's ifstat using just sh and awk. You must change "eth0" with your interface's name.

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"

Find usb device in realtime

Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

Send an http HEAD request w/curl

Rename files in batch

Lookup your own IPv4 address

Use nroff to view the man pages

Using nroff , it is possible to view the otherwise garbled man page with col command.

List open files that have no links to them on the filesystem

I have come across a situation in the past where someone has unlinked a file by running an 'rm' command against it while it was still being written to by a running process. The problem manifested itself when a 'df' command showed a filesystem at 100%, but this did not match the total value of a 'du -sk *'. When this happens, the process continues to write to the file but you can no longer see the file on the filesystem. Stopping and starting the process will, more often than not, get rid of the unlinked file, however this is not always possible on a live server. When you are in this situation you can use the 'lsof' command above to get the PID of the process that owns the file (in the sample output this is 23521). Run the following command to see a sym-link to the file (marked as deleted): $ cd /proc/23521/fd && ls -l Truncate the sym-link to regain your disk space: $ > /proc/23521/fd/3 I should point out that this is pretty brutal and *could* potentially destabilise your system depending on what process the file belongs to that you are truncating.

list files recursively by size

Find usb device in realtime

Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.
