Connect to a machine running ssh using mac address by using the "arp" command
Benchmark a SQL query against MySQL Server.
The example runs the query 10 times, and you get the average runtime in the output. To ensure that the query does not get cached, use `RESET QUERY CACHE;` on top in the query file.
Goes through all files in the directory specified, uses `stat` to print out last modification time, then sorts numerically in reverse, then uses cut to remove the modified epoch timestamp and finally head to only output the last 10 modified files.
Note that on a Mac `stat` won't work like this, you'll need to use either:
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -f '%m%t%Sm %12z %N' | sort -nr | cut -f2- | head
or alternatively do a `brew install coreutils` and then replace `stat` with `gstat` in the original command.
With no '-q 0' switch, nc simply waits, and whatever awaits the data hangs.
When using reverse-i-search you have to type some part of the command that you want to retrieve. However, if the command is very complex it might be difficult to recall the parts that will uniquely identify this command. Using the above trick it's possible to label your commands and access them easily by pressing ^R and typing the label (should be short and descriptive).
UPDATE:
One might suggest using aliases. But in that case it would be difficult to change some parts of the command (such as options, file/directory names, etc).
Only shows files with actual changes to text (excluding whitespace). Useful if you've messed up permissions or transferred in files from windows or something like that, so that you can get a list of changed files, and clean up the rest.
In this example, file contains five columns where first column is text. Variance is calculated for columns 2 - 5 by using perl module Statistics::Descriptive. There are many more statistical functions available in the module.
