Have you hugged your command line lately?

What does the -q parameter stand for? It is not support by gnu-netcat (0.7.1) in the repos, but I wanted to try this out, it's really cool.

A oneliner to retrieve all images a site links to:

SITE="http://img.phraktured.net/funny/"
wget -O - $SITE | sed -n 's/.*<a href="\(.*[jpgs][pniv][ggfg]\)".*>.*<\/a>.*/\1/pg' | wget -B "$SITE" -i -

Lots of funny images on phrakture's server (Hope you don't mind, phrakture...)

^ hehe funny pictures indeed. especially ../epic !

Okay, here's what I use to copy my (growing) music collection to a removable HD which contains the collection minus the new songs.

yes no | sudo cp -riv /all/mus/* /mnt/usb/mus/

Edit: maybe one day I'll have a command as cool as the original post.

That reminds me. My favourite is to stress test with:

What does this thing do?

It is a fork bomb... ":()" defines a function that calls itself twice in the background. It is then called...

in other words:

}

forkbomb

Nice topic!
Here's my hdd benchmark:

mkdir -p /tmp/hddtest && cd /tmp/hddtest && \
yes | head -c 20480m | split -d -a 40 -b 524288 && \
find /tmp/hddtest -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null && rm -rf /tmp/hddtest

This creates in tmp 20G of 512K files, reads them and deletes them.
I used it to stress test my 20G hdd. If dmesg keeps quiet I presume it works fine.
Still you'd better use badblock, fsck, etc.

alias -s {jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG,gif,GIF}="feh -FZd" # yes!  type "pic.jpg" and it opens feh and views it automagically!
**/*~*.bak # match all files & directories recursively except for those matching *.bak
ls *(/om[1]) # list the newest directory (replace the / with a . for newest file)
ls *(f:u+rw:) # list files with read write (or u+rx for read execute, etc.  you can also do u-rx for "files withou xxxx")

aaah, screw it... http://www.grml.org/zsh/zsh-lovers.html

Go go go go zsh. zftp, zmv, zsocket, zemacs, zvim, zlulz.

edit: I forgot my favorite zmv command:

zmv -Q "(**/)(*'*)(D)" "\$1\${2//'/}"

It removes all single quotes from file names in the the current directory and down. Nice for mp3's etc.

alias va='vim /etc/bash/.aliases; source /etc/bash/.aliases'

Dead simple, but makes adding and updating aliases soooo easy.

P.S. love the alarm clock and clock ideas . . .
