  • IBM AIX: Calculate the SHA256 hashes of a directory without sha256sum

    This command is for producing GNU sha256sum-compatible hashes on UNIX systems that don't have sha256sum but do have OpenSSL, such as stock IBM AIX. 1.- Saves a wrapper script for UNIX find that does the following: A.- Feeds a file to openssl on SHA256 hash calculation mode B.- Echoes the output followed by the filename 2.- Makes the file executable 3.- Runs find on a directory, only processing files, and running on each one the wrapper script that calculates SHA256 hashes Pending is figuring out how to verify a sha256sum file on a similar environment.

  • IBM AIX: Verify a sha256sum listing with openssl

    This command is used to verify a sha256sum-formatted file hash list on IBM AIX or any other UNIX-like OS that has openssl but doesn't have sha256sum by default. Steps: 1: Save to the filesystem a script that: A: Receives as arguments the two parts of one line of a sha256sum listing B: Feeds a file into openssl on SHA256 standard input hash calculation mode, and saves the result C: Compares the calculated hash against the one received as argument D: Outputs the result in a sha256sum-like format 2: Make the script runnable 3: Feed the sha256sum listing to xargs, running the aforementioned script and passing 2 arguments at a time Show Sample Output

Run a command only when load average is below a certain threshold
Good for one off jobs that you want to run at a quiet time. The default threshold is a load average of 0.8 but this can be set using atrun.

Convert spaces in file names to underscores

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"

list folders containing less than 2 MB of data
This command will search all subfolders of the current directory and list the names of the folders which contain less than 2 MB of data. I use it to clean up my mp3 archive and to delete the found folders pipe the output to a textfile & run: $ while read -r line; do rm -Rv "$line"; done < textfile

Burn CD/DVD from an iso, eject disc when finished.
cdrecord -scanbus will tell you the (x,y,z) value of your cdr (for example, mine is 3,0,0)

Run a command for blocks of output of another command
The given example collects output of the tail command: Whenever a line is emitted, further lines are collected, until no more output comes for one second. This group of lines is then sent as notification to the user. You can test the example with $ logger "First group"; sleep 1; logger "Second"; logger "group"

ASCII art of yourself
Use libcaca to render ascii chars on the webcam input... or don't.

batch convert Nikon RAW (nef) images to JPG
converts RAW files from a Nikon DSLR to jpg for easy viewing etc. requires ufraw package

a function to create a box of '=' characters around a given string.
