Change *.ext to the appropriate extension

This command crawls a domain with the typical WGET output. It logs every thing to a WGET-LOG file with any errors repeated at the end. It also had the added benefit of not flooding your terminal without ouput, so it is safe to run in the background.

This will send the web page at $u to recipient@example.com . To send the web page to oneself, recipient@example.com can be replaced by $(whoami) or $USER. The "charset" is UTF-8 here, but any alternative charset of your choice would work. `wget -O - -o /dev/null $u` may be considered instead of `curl $u` . On some systems the complete path to sendmail may be necessary, for instance /sys/pkg/libexec/sendmail/sendmail for some NetBSD.

Bash scrip to test if a server is up, you can use this before wget'ing a file to make sure a blank one isn't downloaded.

The command was too long for the command box, so here it is: echo $(( `wget -qO - http://i18n.counter.li.org/ | grep 'users registered' | sed 's/.*\<font size=7\>//g' | tr '\>' ' ' | sed 's/<br.*//g' | tr ' ' '\0'` + `curl --silent http://www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter?lang=en | grep users | head -2 | tail -1 | sed 's/.*<strong>//g' | sed 's/<\/strong>.*//g'` )) This took me about an hour to do. It uses wget and curl because, dudalibre.com blocks wget, and wget worked nicely for me. Show Sample Output

Just added view with the eog viewer.

Substitute that 724349691704 with an UPC of a CD you have at hand, and (hopefully) this oneliner should return the $Artist - $Title, querying discogs.com. Yes, I know, all that head/tail/grep crap can be improved with a single sed command, feel free to send "patches" :D Enjoy! Show Sample Output

This uses wget instead of curl

This command should be copy-pasted in Windows, but very similar one will work on Linux. It uses wget and sed.

Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination. This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version. Show Sample Output
