Use optimized sed to big file/stream to reduce execution time
Use
sed '/foo/ s/foo/foobar/g' <filename>
insted of sed
's/foo/foobar/g' <filename>
Accidentally deleted some file while used by a program ? (Eg: a song)

EG: aspectRatio 1920 1200
For display a image in full screen it should be in any of the resolution obtained from the output. So resize an image to any of it and you can display it in full screen
For general aspect ratio :
aspectRatio () { for i in `seq 1 1000 `; do awk "BEGIN {print $1/$i, $2/$i}"; done |grep -v "\." |tail -1; }

Redshift will adjust the color temperature and protects eye at night -b : will adjust the brightness
For a demo try
wmctrl -o 100,0; sleep 3; wmctrl -o 1500,0; sleep 3; wmctrl -o 3000,0; sleep 3; wmctrl -o 4500,0;
Actually
wmctrl -o <width x Number>,0;

In order to create a new encrypted filing system managed by cryptmount,
you can use the supplied 'cryptmount-setup' program, which can be used
by the superuser to interactively configure a basic setup.
Alternatively, suppose that we wish to setup a new encrypted filing
system, that will have a target-name of "opaque". If we have a free
disk partition available, say /dev/hdb63, then we can use this directly
to store the encrypted filing system. Alternatively, if we want to
store the encrypted filing system within an ordinary file, we need to
create space using a recipe such as:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/opaque.fs bs=1M count=512
.
cryptmount --generate-key 32 opaque
.
cryptmount --prepare opaque
.
mke2fs /dev/mapper/opaque
.
cryptmount --release opaque
.
mkdir /home/crypt
.
cryptmount -m opaque
.
cryptmount -u opaque

Consider the following simple situation [ reading something using while and read ] [See script 1 in sample output] --------------------------------------------------- The variable var is assigned with "nullll" at first. Inside the while loop [piped while] it is assigned with "whillleeee". [Onlly 2 assignments stmts]. Outside the loop the last assigned value for "var" [and no variable] inside the while can't be accessed [Due to pipe, var is executed in a sub shell]. In these type of situation variables can be accessed by modifying as follows. [See script 2 in sample output] ___________________________ Vary helpful when reading a set of items, say file names, stored on a file [or variable] to an array an use it later. Is there any other way 2 access variables inside and outside the loop ?? Show Sample Output
