Find Duplicate Files (based on size, name, and md5sum)

It works extremely fast, because it calculates md5sum only on the files that have the same size and name. But there is nothing for free - it won't find duplicates with the different names. Show Sample Output

find hard linked files (duplicate inodes) recursively

If you have two sets of files that may share hard-linked files, it can be useful to identify which ones are hard links to same underlying inode (file). This command shows you all of those, sorted by inode#. In my example the two directory trees to compare share a common parent, so I run the command in that parent and just use find . to start from the current directory. If yours are in different locations, you can pass both paths to find: find /directory1 /directory2 -type f -printf '%10i %p\n' | sort | uniq -w 11 -d -D | less Show Sample Output

You'll run into trouble if you have files w/ missing newlines at the end. I tried to use PAGER='sed \$q' git blame and even PAGER='sed \$q' git -p blame to force a newline at the end, but as soon as the output is redirected, git seems to ignore the pager.

resize all images in a folder

Summary of disk usage, excluding other filesystems, summarised and sorted by size

This command is useful for finding out which directories below the current location use the most space. It is summarised by directory and excludes mounted filesystems. Finally it is sorted by size.

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.

exec chmod to subfiles

Using `-exec cmd {} +` causes find to build the command using all matching filenames before execution, rather than once per file.

Create user add lines from partial passwd file

Handy if you are installing a new server or recovering an old one and you have a passwd file with the accounts you want to add to the server. If you edit the file so that only the accounts that you want to add are left this line will spit out the correct useradd lines. The uid, gecos and shell will be preserved.

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.

Find usb device in realtime

Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

Fill up disk space (for testing)

Put into some file. No special purpouse, just for fun...

find out how many days since given date

Exactly the same number of characters, exactly the same results, but with bc

Functions to display, save and restore $IFS

You can display, save and restore the value of $IFS using conventional Bash commands, but these functions, which you can add to your ~/.bashrc file make it really easy. To display $IFS use the function ifs shown above. In the sample output, you can see that it displays the characters and their hexadecimal equivalent. This function saves it in a variable called $saveIFS: $ sifs () { saveIFS=$IFS; } Use this function to restore it $ rifs () { IFS=$saveIFS; } Add this line in your ~/.bashrc file to save a readonly copy of $IFS: $ declare -r roIFS=$IFS Use this function to restore that one to $IFS $ rrifs () { IFS=$roIFS; }
