This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line. Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination. This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version. Show Sample Output
-4wget -q -O- http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext96/cprfd10.txt | sed '1,419d' | tr "\n" " " | tr " " "\n" | perl -lpe 's/\W//g;$_=lc($_)' | grep "^[a-z]" | awk 'length > 1' | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $2"\t"$1}' -
Most systems (at least my macbook) have system users defined, such as _www and using "users" for example will not list them. This command allows you to see who the 'virtual' users are on your system. Show Sample Output
-4sudo lsof|sed 's/ */ /g'|cut -f3 -d' '|sort -u -
netstat has two lines of headers: Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State Added a filter in the awk command to remove them
-4netstat -ntu | awk ' $5 ~ /^[0-9]/ {print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -
Takes a directory name as an argument (defaults to current directory if no arguments are given). Prints the newest file in the directory. Show Sample Output
-4lastfile () { find ${1:-.} -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf "%T+ %p\n" | sort -n | tail -n1 | sed 's/[^[:space:]]\+ //'; } -
This command is more robust because it handles spaces, newlines and control characters in filenames. It uses printf, not ls, to determine file size.
-4count=0;while IFS= read -r -d '' line; do echo "${line#* }"; ((++count==5)) && break; done < <(find . -type f -printf '%s %p\0' | sort -znr) -
HP UX doesn't have a -a switch in the ifconfig command. This line emulates the same result shown in Solaris, AIX or Linux Show Sample Output

Go to "https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23TeamFollowBack&src=hash" and then copy al the text on the page. If you scroll down the page will be bigger. Then put al the text in a text file called twit.txt If you follow the user there is a high probability the users give you follow back. To follow all the users you can use an iMacros script.
-6for a in $(seq 5 8); do cat twit.txt | cut -d " " -f$a | grep "^@" | sort -u; done > followlst.txt -
For users looking to simplify management of large entries in files and directories, this command is the key to fun and simplicity. Using the power sort, only a couple of seconds are necessary to accomplish what would take minutes or hours in ?standard? client applications.
-7sort -u filename > newfilename - ‹ First < 30 31 32
