GZip all files in a directory separately

It gzip each file in a directory separately

Download all PDFs from an authenificated website

Replace *** with the appropiate values

Repeat a command until stopped

In this case it runs the command 'curl localhost:3000/site/sha' waiting the amount of time in sleep, ie: 1 second between runs, appending each run to the console. This works well for any command where the output is less than your line width This is unlike watch, because watch always clears the display.

search installed files of package, that doesn't remember his name well. On rpm systems

rpm, sometimes, is not wildcard friendly. To search files installed from package this could be useful. change PACKAGENAME to any package do you want to search

Makefile argument passing

This would allow reference of $(VAR) (if defined) with the value 'foobar' within the Makefile.

Scan Subnet for IP and MAC addresses

Validating a file with checksum

Remove duplicate entries in a file without sorting.

Using awk, find duplicates in a file without sorting, which reorders the contents. awk will not reorder them, and still find and remove duplicates which you can then redirect into another file.
