create tar.gz archive

tar -pczf archive_name.tar.gz /path/to/dir/or/file

Create a single tar.gz archive I know it's a very basic one, but it's one I keep forgetting.

Sample Output

/path/to/dir/or/file/
/path/to/dir/or/file/file1.ext
/path/to/dir/or/file/file2.ext

Kill a process with its name

Well this can come handy , when you don't feel like playing with pid rather if you know the process name say "firefox",it would kill it.The script given below would kill the process with its name given as first parameter , though not robust enough to notify that process doesn't exist , well if you know what you are doing that's wouldn't be a problem.:) ---- killhim.sh ---- #!/bin/bash ps -u $USER |grep $1 | awk '{ print $1}'| xargs kill ----
This is sample output - yours may be different.

What Others Think

The Option -p is unnecessary, you only need it for extraction.

-p, --preserve-permissions, --same-permissions: extract information about file permissions. True, but in some cases this would be most useful
