Disconnect a wireless client on an atheros-based access point
This command will disconnect the user whose mac was specified from the current list of clients from the wireless network when the network card is working in access point mode. Works on atheros-based access points which use the madwifi driver (not sure, but don't think it will work on access points which are not atheros-based, as it uses the atheros's iwpriv extensions). It will not prevent the user from reconnecting to the network, but may force the user to roam to another AP, with stronger signal.

Create a new file

easily strace all your apache processes
This one-liner will use strace to attach to all of the currently running apache processes output and piped from the initial "ps auxw" command into some awk.

Poor's man Matrix script
This creates a matrix of letters that run forever until you hit Ctrl-C simulating "The Matrix" effect... just for fun :) You may want to try the -n and -y switch to change the "FX" LOL! e.g.: pwgen -ny 3

list all file extensions in a directory
... plus do a sort according frequency

Remove multiple spaces
The command removes all the spaces whithin a file and leaves only one space.

Display disk partition sizes
It is the same but more faster real 0m0,007s user 0m0,011s sys 0m0,000s with my solution real 0m0,038s user 0m0,044s sys 0m0,000s with your solution :)

list all executables in your path
If run in bash, this will display all executables that are in your current $PATH

Get and read log from remote host (works with log on pipe, too)

Fetch all GPG keys that are currently missing in your keyring
For instance, if people have signed your key, this will fetch the signers' keys.
