Why is this better than tput? Because it is native where tput is a dependency?

Using raw ansi escape sequences is not better than using tput. tput queries the terminfo database and choses the correct escape sequence depending on the terminal, so tput is more portable than using raw sequences.

Trilby · 2013-05-20 17:43:06

Inspired by this post, I wrote a function for my bashrc which checks which processes (number and command line) have a variable in their environment:

vgrep() {
	for pro in $(grep -l $1 /proc/[0-9]*/environ 2>/dev/null); do
		dir=$(dirname $pro)
		printf "%4s %s\n" $(basename $dir) "$(cat $dir/cmdline 2>/dev/null)"
	done
}

or, to add which actual variables in the environment match the search term (and to add some colors):

vgrep() {
	for pro in $(grep -l $1 /proc/[0-9]*/environ 2>/dev/null); do
		dir=$(dirname $pro)
		printf "\033[38;5;78m[%0.4d]\033[38;5;111m %s\n" \
				$(basename $dir) "$(cat $dir/cmdline 2>/dev/null)"
		list="$(grep --binary-files=text -o "[A-Z0-9_]*$1[A-Z0-9_]*" \
				$pro 2>/dev/null)"
		echo -en "   \033[38;5;229m"
		for entry in $list; do
			echo -n " $entry"
		done
		echo -e "\033[0m"
	done
}

OK, I've got a new one. It's REALLY simple, but helps me a lot.

I don't want my computer to install updates unless I know what's going to be updated (and I have time to deal with possible breakage), but I always want to at least download the updates. So, I changed my "update" alias to first download the packages and then ask me if I want to install them:

alias archupdate="sudo pacman -Syuw --noconfirm && sudo pacman -Syu"

jasonwryan · 2013-05-23 01:31:09

I just print the list of files to be updated:

alias updates="pacman -Qqu --dbpath /tmp/checkup-db-jason"

Oh awesome. Yeah I started doing the same thing recently (cause I start update and then not pay attention / go do something else). I just use -Su for the second part though (plus my aur stuff after):

alias update='sudo pacman -Syuw --noconfirm && sudo pacman -Su && yaourt -Su --aur'

It's been around for a while https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1072495
Some issues got fixed and here we have it in pacman-contrib :-)

LOL. Thanks karol; it had never ocurred to me...

Inhibit KDE screensaver for xx minutes or hours

lightson.sh

while /bin/true; do qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity > /dev/null; sleep 59s; done

lon.sh

timeout $1 lightson.sh

example

# lon.sh 55m

inhibits screensaver for 55 minutes.

comes in handy with flash or vlc videos

Wouldn't this be cleaner:

xset s off
sleep $1
xset s on

mid-kid · 2013-05-30 20:44:23

This one is very simple, but It's useful to me:

alias getchmod="stat --format %a $1"

karol · 2013-05-30 20:52:56

Aliases don't take arguments ;P
You can also use

alias getchmod='stat --format "%n %a"'

$ getchmod foo test*
foo 644
test1 644
test2 644
test3 644

or use function to get a nicer formatting:

gmod () { stat --format "%n %a" $* | column -t; }

$ gmod foo test*
foo    644
test1  644
test2  644
test3  644

tput rc

I'm not that great with bash, but as far as I know it works for me.

[mid-kid@schoolrocket ~]# alias getchmod="stat --format %a $1"
[mid-kid@schoolrocket ~]# getchmod
stat: missing operand
Try 'stat --help' for more information.
[mid-kid@schoolrocket ~]# getchmod Desktop/

karol · 2013-06-01 14:32:13

Aliases simply ignore positional arguments. Yes, you still have to supply arguments, because the computer can't read your mind which file(s) you want to stat.
Try the examples I posted to see for yourself. Try changing

gmod () { stat --format "%n %a" $* | column -t; }

to an alias - it won't work because the arguments are expected to come in the middle.
In getchmod alias the arguments come at the end, so this creates the illusion that aliases can take arguments.

Edit:
In my example

alias getchmod='stat --format "%n %a"'

$ getchmod foo test*
foo 644
test1 644
test2 644
test3 644

'getchmod' alias gets expanded to 'stat --format "%n %a"' so the above command is identical to

$ stat --format "%n %a" foo test*

'stat' needs an argument, so running just

$ stat --format "%n %a"

does not work.

Just a simple alias for finding a running process as it's something I have to do frequently.

alias fp="ps aux|grep -v grep|grep -i $1"

Try 'pgrep'.

Try 'pgrep'.

and instead of doing grep -v grep, try grep -i [f]irefox -- put first char in square brackets of whatever process you're trying to find.

If you use urxvt I think there's a perl extension that will provide that, too.
There are probably pros and cons of the two approaches - I used to use it but stopped so it must have had some irritating side effect that this approach may not have.
But thought it worth mentioning anyway.
