Check These Out

Find the package that installed a command

Get your external IP address
Yeah I know it's been up here a million times, but this service is a really clean and nice one. Nothing but your IP address on it. Actually I was to write something like this, and noticed this on appspot... ;)

grep for minus (-) sign
Use flag "--" to stop switch parsing

Replace spaces in filenames with underscores
I realize there's a few of these out there, but none exactly in this form, which seems the cleanest to me

Advanced python tracing
Trace python statement execution and syscalls invoked during that simultaneously

Print a monthly calendar with today's date highlighted
The cal command is handy, but sometimes you want to quickly see today's date highlighted. That's why I came up with this quick command. Much like http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1342/show-this-months-calendar-with-todays-date-highlighted but cleaner and more succinct.

bulk rename files with sed, one-liner
Far from my favorite, but works in sh and with an old sed that doesn't support '-E'

Go to the Nth line of file [text editor]
This is not printing, real editing using the text editor.

Find the package a command belongs to on Debian

Find broken symlinks
