Avoids ssh timeouts by sending a keep alive message to the server every 60 seconds

ssh_config is the system-wide configuration file for ssh. For per-user configuration, which allows for different settings for each host: echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/.ssh/ssh_config On OSX: echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/.ssh/config or echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/etc/ssh_config

Execute a command with a timeout

A timeout is great, but what if the command is taking longer than expected because it's hung up or ran into some other problem? That's where the -k option comes in. Run "some_command" and timeout after 30s. If the command is still running after 1 minute, it will receive a kill signal.

Logout ssh user automatically after specified time

This will check if a user is logged in using ssh and will log out the user automatically after the specified time in seconds without data retrieval on the server side. Will work with bash and zsh so put it into your sourced shell file on the server side. Be aware that users can change this themselves as it's just a envoronment variable. Show Sample Output

Google voice recognition "API"

The FLAC audio must be encoded at 16000Hz sampling rate (SoX is your friend). Outputs a short JSON string, the actual speech is in the hypotheses->utterance, the accuracy is stored in hypotheses->confidence (ranging from 0 to 1). Google also accepts audio in some special speex format (audio/x-speex-with-header-byte), which is much smaller in comparison with losless FLAC, but I haven't been able to encode such a sample.

remove newlines from specific lines in a file using sed

Run a command as root, with a delay

$ sleep 1h ; sudo command or $ sudo sleep 1h ; sudo command won't work, because by the time the delay is up, sudo will want your password again.

check open ports without netstat or lsof

Recursively create a TAGS file for an entire source tree. TAGS files are useful for editors like Vim and Emacs

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"
