  • Microsoft Robocopy imitation (with recursion, pruning, and compression)

    Functionally the same as the Microsoft Robocopy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy) command below but with the benefits of compression and optionally specifying a user. robocopy /e [//host]/source/path [//host]/destination/path Options: -a: archive mode - rescursive, copy symlinks as symlinks, preserve permissions, preserve modification times, preserve group, preserve owner, preserve device files and special files -hh: Numbers in human-readable K=1024 format. Single "h" will produce human-readable K=1000 format -m: don't copy empty directories -z: use compression (if both source and destination are local it's faster to omit this) --progress: Shows progress during the transfer and implies --verbose (verbose output) --stats: Summary after the transfer stops Show Sample Output

watch your network load on specific network interface
-n means refresh frequency you could change eth0 to any interface you want, like wlan0

find files containing text
I find this format easier to read if your going through lots of files. This way you can open the file in any editor and easily review the file

show the date every rpm was installed
the newest rpms are at the top; individual packages can also be queried this way: rpm --last -q package

Remote screenshot
Say if you're logged into a remote system via ssh and this system has an x window system, but yet you still want a screen shot of what's going on graphically. This will do it for you. :-)

Partition a sequence of disk drives for LVM with fdisk
So, I'm using a CentOS VM in VirtualBox, and created four new disks in the SCSI controller. The VM created the folders: /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd Using a 'for loop' all disks are partitioned for LVM.

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"

analyze traffic remotely over ssh w/ wireshark
This captures traffic on a remote machine with tshark, sends the raw pcap data over the ssh link, and displays it in wireshark. Hitting ctrl+C will stop the capture and unfortunately close your wireshark window. This can be worked-around by passing -c # to tshark to only capture a certain # of packets, or redirecting the data through a named pipe rather than piping directly from ssh to wireshark. I recommend filtering as much as you can in the tshark command to conserve bandwidth. tshark can be replaced with tcpdump thusly: $ ssh root@example.com tcpdump -w - 'port !22' | wireshark -k -i -

Find and remove core files

Copy a file using dd and watch its progress
This is a more accurate way to watch the progress of a dd process. The $DDPID=$! is needed so that you don't get the PID of the sleep. The sleep 1 is needed because in my testing at least, if you run kill -USR1 against dd too quickly, it will kill it off instead of display the status. So you need to wait a second, probably so that it can configure itself to trap the USR1 signal.
