Gives the same results as the command by putnamhill using nine less characters.

Credit goes to brun65i but he posted it as a comment instead as an alternative. I hadn't noticed the -h option on sort before and this seems like the cleanest alternative. Thanks Brun65i! Show Sample Output
0du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr -
count connections, group by IP and port
0netstat -nt | awk -F":" '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c -
If your version of curl does not support the --compressed option, use
curl -s http://funnyjunk.com | gunzipinstead ofcurl -s --compressed http://funnyjunk.com0curl -s --compressed http://funnyjunk.com | awk -F'"' '/ '"'"'mainpagetop24h'"'"'/ { print "http://funnyjunk.com"$4 }' | xargs curl -s | grep -o 'ht.*m/pictures/.*\.jpg\|ht.*m/gifs/.*\.gif' | grep "_......_" | uniq | xargs wget -
Find which directories on your system contain a lot of files. Edit: much shorter and betterer with -n switch. Show Sample Output
0sudo find / -type f | perl -MFile::Basename -ne '$counts{dirname($_)}++; END { foreach $d (sort keys %counts) {printf("%d\t%s\n",$counts{$d},$d);} }'|sort -rn | tee /tmp/sortedfilecount.out | head -
Enhancement for the 'busy' command originally posted by busybee : less chars, no escape issue, and most important it exclude small files ( opening a 5 lines file isn't that persuasive I think ;) ) This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim.
0alias busy='rnd_file=$(find /usr/include -type f -size +5k | sort -R | head -n 1) && vim +$((RANDOM%$(wc -l $rnd_file | cut -f1 -d" "))) $rnd_file' -
0cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd | sort

Tested in bash on AIX & Linux, used for WAS versions 6.0 & up. Sorts by node name. Useful when you have vertically-stacked instances of WAS/Portal. Cuts out all the classpath/optional parameter clutter that makes a simple "ps -ef | grep java" so difficult to sort through. Show Sample Output
0ps -ef | grep [j]ava | awk -F ' ' ' { print $1," ",$2,"\t",$(NF-2),"\t",$(NF-1),"\t",$NF } ' | sort -k4 -
See who is using a specific port. Especially when you're using AIX. In Ubuntu, for example, this can easily be seen with the netstat command. Show Sample Output
0netstat -Aan | grep .80 | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | grep EST | awk '{print $6}' | cut -d "." -f1,2,3,4 | sort | uniq -
0du -s $(ls -l | grep '^d' | awk '{print $9}') | sort -nr

Take a file and ,."()?!;: give a list of all the words in order of increasing length. First of all use tr to map all alphabetic characters to lower case and also strip out any puntuation. A-Z become a-z ,."()?!;: all become \n (newline) I've ignored - (hyphen) and ' (apostrophe) because they occur in words. Next use bash to print the length ${#w} and the word Finally sort the list numerically (sort -n) and remove any duplicates (sort -u). Note: sort -nu performs strangely on this list. It outputs one word per length. Show Sample Output
0for w in $(tr 'A-Z ,."()?!;:' 'a-z\n' < sample.txt); do echo ${#w} $w; done | sort -u | sort -n -
here's a version which works on OS X.
0find . -type f -exec stat -f '%m %N' {} \; | sort -n -
cut -f1,2 - IP range 16 cut -f1,2,3 - IP range 24 cut -f1,2,3,4 - IP range 24 Show Sample Output
0netstat -tn | grep :80 | awk '{print $5}'| grep -v ':80' | cut -f1 -d: |cut -f1,2,3 -d. | sort | uniq -c| sort -n -
Sort using kth column using : delimiter
0sort -t: -k 2 names.txt -
ls -al gives all files, sort +4n sorts by 5th field numerically
0ls -al | sort +4n -
Uniq command is mostly used in combination with sort command, as uniq removes duplicates only from a sorted file. i.e In order for uniq to work, all the duplicate entries should be in the adjacent lines. Show Sample Output
0sort namesd.txt | uniq -
The following displays only the entries that are duplicates. Show Sample Output
0sort namesd.txt | uniq ?cd -
This requires a version of GNU find that supports the -exec {} + action, but it seems more straightforward than the versions already posted. Show Sample Output
0find . -type f -exec ls -shS {} + | head -10 -
"-exec" ftw.
0find . -type f -exec du -sh {} + | sort -hr | head -
Count on a specific port (80) - FreeBSD friendly. Show Sample Output
0netstat -an | grep 80 | wc -l -
the -h option of du and sort (on appropriate distrib) makes output "Human" readable and still sorted by "reversed size" (sort -rh) Show Sample Output
0du -sh /home/*|sort -rh|head -n 10 -
This is a modified version of the OP, wrapped into a bash function. This version handles newlines and other whitespace correctly, the original has problems with the thankfully rare case of newlines in the file names. It also allows checking an arbitrary number of directories against each other, which is nice when the directories that you think might have duplicates don't have a convenient common ancestor directory.
0find-duplicates () { find "$@" -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\0" | sort -rnz | uniq -dz | xargs -0 -I{} -n1 find "$@" -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate; } -
0ls -a | du --max-depth=1 -h 2>/dev/null |sort -h

If you have GNU findutils, you can get only the file name with
find /some/path -type f -printf '%f\n'instead offind /some/path -type f | gawk -F/ '{print $NF}'Show Sample Output0find /some/path -type f | gawk -F/ '{print $NF}' | gawk -F. '/\./{print $NF}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn -
bit of a contrived example and playing to my OCD but nice for quick scripted output of listening ports which is sorted by port, ip address and protocol. Show Sample Output
0sudo netstat -plntu --inet | sort -t: -k2,2n | sort --stable -t. -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n | sort -s -t" " -k1,1 - ‹ First < 3 4 5 6 7 > Last ›
