Mark a directory as one where something failed

If you use colored ls(1), the broken symbolic links significantly differ from regular files and directories in the ls listing. In my case it is bright red. 0 is for getting the first place in the list.

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"

Hex math with bc

To do hex to binary: echo 'ibase=16; obase=2; 16*16' | bc # prints: 111100100 To do 16*16 from decimal to hex: echo 'ibase=10; obase=16; 16*16' | bc # prints: 100 You get the idea... Alternatively, run bc in interactive mode (see man page)

Lists all listening ports together with the PID of the associated process

This command is more portable than it's cousin netstat. It works well on all the BSDs, GNU/Linux, AIX and Mac OS X. You won't find lsof by default on Solaris or HPUX by default, but packages exist around the web for installation, if needed, and the command works as shown. This is the most portable command I can find that lists listening ports and their associated pid.

Find usb device

I often use it to find recently added ou removed device, or using find in /dev, or anything similar. Just run the command, plug the device, and wait to see him and only him

Disable WoL on eth0

Create an SSH tunnel for accessing your remote MySQL database with a local port

Merge files, joining each line in one line

Add all unversioned files to svn

No need for grep, let awk do the match. This will not behave properly if the filenames contains whitespace, which is awk's default field separator.

list files recursively by size

Get your external IP address ( 10 characters long )

Shortest url to a external IP-service, 10 characters.
