Get the Nth argument of the last command in $HISTFILE

This gets the Nth argument in the last line of your history file. This is useful where history is being written after each command, and you want to use arguments from the previous command in the current command, such as when doing copies/moving directories etc. I wrote this after getting irritated with having to continually type in long paths/arguments. You could also use $_ if all you want is the last argument. Show Sample Output

Find Duplicate Files (based on size first, then MD5 hash)

* Find all file sizes and file names from the current directory down (replace "." with a target directory as needed). * sort the file sizes in numeric order * List only the duplicated file sizes * drop the file sizes so there are simply a list of files (retain order) * calculate md5sums on all of the files * replace the first instance of two spaces (md5sum output) with a \0 * drop the unique md5sums so only duplicate files remain listed * Use AWK to aggregate identical files on one line. * Remove the blank line from the beginning (This was done more efficiently by putting another "IF" into the AWK command, but then the whole line exceeded the 255 char limit). >>>> Each output line contains the md5sum and then all of the files that have that identical md5sum. All fields are \0 delimited. All records are \n delimited.

Rename files in batch

Recursively lists all files in the current directory, except the ones in '.snapshot' directory

This can be useful for those who have mounted NetApp file-systems with snapshot activated.

Calculate days on which Friday the 13th occurs

Alter the years in the first brace expansion to select your year range. Modify date format to your liking but leave " %w" at the end.

Go to parent directory of filename edited in last command

Uses the last argument of the last executed command, and gets the directory name from it. Use $!:t for the filename alone, without the dirname.

Get absolut path to your bash-script

Another way of doing it that's a bit clearer. I'm a fan of readable code.

Works with *rooted* Android devices. 400x800 are the screen dimensions of a typical handheld smartphone.

List files size sorted and print total size in a human readable format without sort, awk and other commands.

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"

Increase mplayer maximum volume

use '0' and '9' to increase/decrease volume. this is useful on laptops with low speaker volume.

Get the size of all the directories in current directory
