Check These Out
List out all the names from the zip file and pass it to xargs utility to delete each one of them
I use this to convert mp3 files to m4a files that can be used as ringtones on the iPhone. I've documented the process here: http://www.control-d.com/?p=60
Command is properly working on HP-UX 11.31
Replace 'csv_file.csv' with your filename.
Installs pip packages defining a proxy
This command is useful if you want to copy the output of a series of commands to a file, for example if you want to pastebin the output from 'uname -a', 'lspci -vvv' and 'lsmod' for video driver trouble-shooting on your favorite Linux forum.
'log' takes all the following arguments as a command to execute, with STDOUT sent to /var/log/user.log. The command is echoed to the log before it is executed.
The advantages of using logger (as opposed to appending output from commands to a file) are 1) commands are always appended to the logs... you don't have to worry about clobbering your log file accidentally by using '>' rather than '>>' 2) logs are automatically cleaned up by logrotate.
The following functions allow you to mark the start and end of a section of /var/log/user.log.
$ startlog() { export LOGMARK=$(date +%Y.%m.%d_%H:%M:%S); echo "$LOGMARK.START" | logger -t $USER; }
then
$ endlog() { echo "$LOGMARK.END" | logger -t $USER; }
printlog will print all lines between $LOGMARK.START and $LOGMARK.END, removing everything that is prepended to each line by logger.
$ printlog() { sudo sed -n -e "/$LOGMARK.START/,/$LOGMARK.END/p" /var/log/user.log| sed "s/.*$USER: //"; }
The following command should dump just about all the information that you could possibly want about your linux configuration into the clipboard.
$ startlog; for cmd in 'uname -a' 'cat /etc/issue' 'dmesg' 'lsusb' 'lspci' 'sudo lshw' 'lsmod'; do log $cmd; done; endlog; printlog | xsel --clipboard
This is ready for a trip to http://pastebin.com/, and you don't have to worry about leaving temporary files lying around cluttering up $HOME.
Caveats: I'm sure that startlog, endlog, and printlog could use some cleanup and error checking... there are unchecked dependencies between printlog and endlog, as well as between endlog and startlog.
It might be useful for 'log' to send stderr to logger as well.
Put this in your zshrc, source it, then run 'pkill -usr1 zsh' to source it in all open terminals. Also works with bash. More info: http://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/12g76v/how_to_automatically_source_zshrc_in_all_open/
This will give you the Dell Service tag number associated with your machine. Incredibly useful when you need that number for tech support or downloads.
