Remove all unused kernels with apt-get

Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..." Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).
This is sample output - yours may be different.
-1

sudo aptitude remove -P $(dpkg -l|awk '/^ii linux-image-2/{print $2}'|sed 's/linux-image-//'|awk -v v=`uname -r` 'v>$0'|sed 's/-generic//'|awk '{printf("linux-headers-%s\nlinux-headers-%s-generic\nlinux-image-%s-generic\n",$0,$0,$0)}')

Generate an XKCD #936 style 4 word password

If you do not have shuf or an -R option in sort, you can fall back on awk. This provides maximum portability IMO. The command first collects words from the dictionary that match the criteria - in this case: lower case words with no punctuation that are 4 to 8 characters long. It then prints 4 random entries. I decided to print each word on a separate line to improve readability.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

awk 'BEGIN {srand} /^[a-z]{4,8}$/ {w[i++]=$0} END {while (j++<4) print w[int(rand*i)]}' /usr/share/dict/words

Sequential revision numbers in Git

Git uses secure hash sums for its revision numbers. I'm sure this is fine and dandy for ultra-secure computing, but it's less than optimal for humans. Thus, this will give you sequential revision numbers in Git all the way from the first commit.
This is sample output - yours may be different.
-1

git rev-list --reverse HEAD | awk "/$(git log -n 1 --pretty="format:%h")/ {print NR}"

Show directories in the PATH, one per line

Removes trailing newline; colon becomes record separator and newline becomes field separator, only the first field is ever printed. Replaces empty entries with $PWD. Also prepend relative directories (like ".") with the current directory ($PWD). Can change PWD with env(1) to get tricky in (non-Bourne) scripts. Show Sample Output

Checks apache's access_log file, strips the search queries and shoves them up your e-mail

It's not a big line, and it *may not* work for everybody, I guess it depends on the detail of access_log configuration in your httpd.conf. I use it as a prerotate command for logrotate in httpd section so it executes before access_log rotation, everyday at midnight.

Purge frozen messages in Exim

Although Exim will purge frozen (undeliverable) messages over time, the command "exim -Mrm #id#" where #id# is a particular message ID will purge a message immediately. Being lazy, I don't want to type the command for each frozen message, so I wrote the one-liner to do it for me.
This is sample output - yours may be different.
-2

for i in `mailq | awk '$6 ~ /^frozen$/ {print $3}'`; do exim -Mrm $i; done

Sorted, recursive long file listing

Tells you everything you could ever want to know about all files and subdirectories. Great for package creators. Totally secure too. On my Slackware box, this gets set upon login: $ LS_OPTIONS='-F -b -T 0 --color=auto' and $ alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS' which works great.

use SHIFT + ALT to toggle between two keyboard layouts

change the last two-character abbreviation to any layout abbreviation you want. This command will only run in the current session, add to your ~/.bashrc to make this permanent.

Find default gateway

Remove newlines from output

Remove newlines from output. One character shorter than awk /./ filename and doesn't use a superfluous cat. To be fair though, I'm pretty sure fraktil was thinking being able to nuke newlines from any command is much more useful than just from one file.

Empty a file

rotate a one page pdf to 90 Degrees Clockwise

This can be taken from the pdftk docs http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-man-page/ http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-cli-examples/ , but the command examples are not simple.

Emptying a text file in one shot

% = buffer d = delete

List all NPM global packages installed

Show what PID is listening on port 80 on Linux

Send pop-up notifications on Gnome

The title is optional. Options: -t: expire time in milliseconds. -u: urgency (low, normal, critical). -i: icon path. On Debian-based systems you may need to install the 'libnotify-bin' package. Useful to advise when a wget download or a simulation ends. Example: $ wget URL ; notify-send "Done"
